Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for April 10, 2015

I think Whigham drew that stray bang down the middle of the batter’s face just to irritate me.

Never mind the handclasp, take a look at the angle of that poor bastard’s ARM. His elbow is below his waist??? Milford matriculating orangutangs now?.I predict that Stev-o is gonna have a lot of fun with this in MUT today.

Wow, she does throw hard. Boo knocked her damn fingers off. Bet your hand wouldn’t hurt so much if you caught the ball with your glove.

Mark this, you all: To Kill A Mockingbird is the lit. reference. Though why the kids don’t know who Boo Radley is baffles me.

I guess that’s the end of the Pascoe story too. It would have been nice to find out what school took him.

Omari playing baseball. Gets injured. Can’t play football in college. Becomes alcoholic/drug abuser/burglar. Gets life straightened out and becomes Assistant Mop Man, 2nd Class, at Milford High School.

Boo…what a stupid name!Kaz

In all reality , its going to get a whole lot scarier at the Milfotd baseball field when Grandpa Boo starts watching Boo pitch.

Sadly, we’re going to be treated to an entire spring and summer of story on the origins of Boo’s nickname.

P1- Boo channeling her inner Wren McCormick with that 1982 hairdo. EFS: Exploding Finger Syndrome. P3- A True sighting?

O’Bama? Is that the President’s Irish cousin?

Omari and the kid (True?) in P3 act like they haven’t seen each other in weeks. Is Milford that big, or do boys now act like girls did when my daughters were in high school — they would exuberantly hug classmates if an hour went by without seeing them.

Based on P3, I predict Omari with his new Rollie Fingers look becomes Milford’s closer. And speaking of fingers, you know Mopped Up Thorp couldn’t resist making more jokes about the hand artwork.Okay, assuming her nickname has nothing to do with Boo Radley, what is the shocking reason she is called Boo? Whoever gets it right gets a 2-day cameo in MUT. If it is a reference to To Kill A Mockingbird then this is a waste of time, but might be good for some funny theories.

P-1 Boo has been in three strips so far. She has gone from cute to pixieish to grusome. P-2 That’s not my bangs, I have a lemur under my helmit and that’s its tail. P-3, Yeah, your a jock alright. What’s shakin is my massive hand, you’ve seen it before. I’ve bulked up since I joined the circus as the strongman. Do you like my 1880’s stach?

MOP, Here’s my entry. Boo is what we’ll all be crying after about three weeks of this storyline.

MOP, appreciate the shout out yesterday, sorry I couldn’t comment…..I was with clients all day, another 16 hours of my life I can never get back..

P1, Boo looking a little like a young Marge Simpson…

Ms. Radley is originally from Philadelphia. As a youngster she was scheduled to throw out the first pitch at a Phillies game at the Vet. She failed miserably. The reaction was….well, now you know the REST of the story.

Assuming her nickname has nothing to do with the book (that none of the students bothered to read, when it was assigned in class), the possibilities are:(1) The team comes over to her house while her Mom’s at work, so they can raid the liquor cabinet. “Boo” is actually just short for “Booze”.(2) Whenever she hits a single, everyone gets to yell “Boo’s on first!!!”

why don’t we want to know why she is called Boo? Did she kill someone for trying to molest a child??

She lives in a basement and once stabbed her father in the leg with a pair of scissors?

In all reality , Boo is short for Boobs a nickname given to her when after pitching a no hitter she pulled off her uniform top ala Mia Hamm but forgot she wasn t wearing a bra .

No – if I ever hear from Rubin/Whigham it will probably be a restraining order so no word is good word.
