Wow, Gil really does control the whole school. I never got pulled out of my classes by any coach I had. And none of my teachers looked that good, either.
P2, Dammit Coach I was fantasizing about my hot teacher and you ruined everything!
More evidence that this strip has yet to reach this century. Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to call anyone under 40. Text, Snapchat, Instagram or whatever the newest thing you use your phone for but never, ever use it to make a call.
Guess I’m piling on here, but the idea that a coach would have a kid pulled out of class because he wanted to tell him to relax is … well, words fail me.
Just made an interesting (well, maybe) discovery. I knew I recognized the quarterback’s name from a harness racer years ago, Herve Filion. Turns out he died in June. Have to assume this is some sort of tribute to him.
Bet no one has noticed what a Swinger GilPa is with that Playboy mug on his desk. Great song from my youth yesterday t-car. Bad Ass with the touch tone phone at the intro.
P1: As your teacher, it’s incumbent on me to embarrass you in front of the whole class.
P-2: Gil shows his sense of sarcasm by raising his hands and announcing a hold up. Get it, Mike? You were robbed. (by the way, I once knew a Mike Filion, got shot trying to hold up a gas station. Now, there’s a story line you’ll never see from R&W)
P-3: Relax, you little rascal. You’re still our QB. I just called you here to show you some um, other positions.
I found a clip of the Gil Thorp Posters Society’s last convention held in Chicago. I think the members shown here are ‘CJ’, ‘Bear’, ‘Ellis’, ‘Chip’, ‘Mop’ and ‘Twain’.
It’s too bad there wasn’t another time for Gil to talk to his quarterback simply to tell him to relax. Like, oh, I don’t know, maybe at practice? But I’m sure the staff is used to Gil abusing his power by now. Maybe Gil had to shut down some rumors, I’ll bet Moose was running around telling everyone he was going to be taking over at QB since Filion has sucked so far. And speaking of sucking, today’s and the entire week’s worth of Mopped Up Thorp is online. Including the real explanation for what is going on with that teacher’s hand in P1.

“And you’ll be our quarterback again next year, now that I’ve made you flunk history by pulling you out of class.”

That thing the teacher is doing with her two middle fingers stuck together and the two outer ones spread apart? I couldn’t do that without crazy glue.
