Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for April 27, 2017

“If I want to see a track meet, I’ll watch the baseball team play.”

P1, Mimi reminds Carrie of something she’d rather forget.

P2, The tubby shot putter is trying to score, at least.

P3, It would appear from the hairstyles on the Carrie and her teammate that the girl in P2 saying “Sure” is the same one complaining about how boring watching track is. Fickle much?

At least the shot putter has beefed up some between yesterday and today. As a track guy, I have to say watching baseball on TV is pretty boring but playing it is fun or watching at a live game.

In all reality , but some how some way Double D finds a way to like the Big Obnoxious Shot Putter and they go bowling without Gary and Carrie .Great game Carrie, do you have a date for Prom yet ?

P3- Gary Meola. I bet he’s full of surprises. Looks like Funky Winkerbean, wears sweaters like Lini Verde. With comments like that, Dafne will not be voted Most Popular.

Wow, the guy who throws the shot just got put (down).

The blonde in the background of P1 excitedly points to an alien ship, but no one notices.

Night and day from last year when you were warming the bench until Boo’s fateful milk run. But reading is FUNdamental so it’s all good.

Gotta agree with P3 girl whose name I"m too lazy to look up. I’ve gone to a few of my niece’s track meets. Tons of downtime between flurries of action. Kind of like…electric football!

P-1: Night and Day from last year. Great game. OK, missy how’s that for a back-handed compliment?

P-2: a typo, should have read: Yeah, sure.

P-3: playing the field is boring?

I see the girls are also infected with that “pump your arm when you win for 20 straight minutes after the game” disease. And speaking of pump, you should be pumped up that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is ready.

P3: The only thing more boring that track…is this strip!

The track meet might turn into a baseball game
