Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 02, 2015

Since when is being right a license to annoy people? Bobby has some hard lessons ahead.

At least Bobby has a chin.

Yep, gotta be more diplomatic, even when a person is right.

How long has that “kid” ragging on Bobby been in school? He looks way older than the teacher, or Gil and Mimi for that matter and they’ve been coaching for 50 plus years.

It also looks like Leisl just blocked Bobby’s shot.

In all reality , the seated student in P 1 tries to help Bobby out by throwing his voice and answering Leisl for him . I see a basketball version of My Fair Lady happening .

Ironically, the biology lesson appears to be on reproductive systems, a lesson from high school with no real-world application for Bobby.

I almost missed the hidden EES in P1

P1- Cameo by Wynn Wiley. We had a guy like Bobby at my high school. Now the guy is an engineer and still has a lot of Bobby’s traits.

Mr. Lapinski, stumbling in from the teacher’s “lounge” just in time to restore order. How do they fit his name on a coffee cup?

1 on 1 is exactly what Bobby has in mind.

Unfortunately for me, at my high school, when we studied reproductive systems, we did not do a “lab” on the subject

If they go one on one, will the kid come out as Mr. Motto?

Though I’m somewhat reluctant to admit it, I actually like Bobby. (I like spreadsheets too.) Maybe bio lab wasn’t the best time to approach Leisl, but why is directness so frowned upon?

Is that Sign Man behind Mr. Lapinski in P2?

Leisl will think about it, change her style, win the next game, then the budding romance will start. Will this be Lucky-Amy revisited? Can’t tell yet, but in the meantime, revisit Mopped Up Thorp.

I still say Rubin and Whigham created this guy because of somebody that post here! And it ain’t ‘CJ’ either!

Panel two: cameo appearance by David Letterman as “Mr. Lapinsky’ .
