Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 07, 2022

P1: Go long….I’m going to throw a Hail Mary…

What’s with the eyes in P1? Going for the Marty Feldman look?

What’s with the hands in P2? Just back ’er up a little more…a little more….CRASH….perfect!

Leather pants in P3? Is versatility a code word?

“We’ll see if we can make room for you”?? Pretty sure this isn’t a team decision.

New guard shooting mouth off but makes point.

P2.5 “Now start helping by taking a long walk off this short plank, captain.”

Wow…talk about assuming the position…

P4 “Why don’t we start by having you lay across coach Mimi’s knees and take the spanking machine test to see how you bear up to the rigors of the position?”

In all reality , I was thinking the same thing but this team is going no where so why bother. Love the leather pants, thanks Coach .

Panel#1-really looks like she is going to pass the sub to someone downfield

Between the Sat strip and today, the Capt dyed her hair. Looks like she went from blonde to a color I am unable to identify, other than to tell the colorist, HELLO, CONTINUITY.

This versatility concept has Pedro more intrigued than he has been in years.

P2: 3/7 is a pretty good rating for the dude with the moustache hiding his Adam’s apple. Those are man-hands.

Soooo, blondie is the captain but the other leads the locker room.

P2: That’s the second person in the last few weeks hoping that Double D returns to the storyline.

Small world? That makes no sense. “Great minds think alike” is what most people would say.

P4: And by more versatility I mean, how are you at making poolside Mojitos?

P-1: Because we’re in Thorp time, this is the origin of “Let me throw this out and see if…”

P-2: Yep, pretty selfish. You forgot there are three other girls on the bench waiting for a chance to replace the inept Maccie. So now you just cut to the front of the line ahead of ME!

P-3: one of many scene twos on porn sites.

P 1.5: “…and this sandwich sux…” (follows through)

The Thorps both have offices that are normally seen on the C-level of most fortune 500 companies

“I’m going to try playing guard.” Nothing like picking up a new position half-way through your final year in high school.

Some people will do anything for a toaster tart

“I think I can help the team there.”

“Then we’ll see if we can make room for you.”

“You can. I’m taking your slot at guard, not Maddie’s.”

P1- …left handed.

P2- Now come here and give me a big hug.

P3- So I ordered leather pants and whips for the whole team.

P3: “Small world. Next game I’m starting a squad of little people that are transferring in from Barnum & Bailey High. Scouting report said one of them could dunk!”

P 4: “…that’s why I’m moving Pranit Smith up to varsity too…she’s pretty good….”

I wonder if Pranit ever told his parents?? Or did Gil drop the hammer on him??

P1 – If she wants to audition for point guard, she shouldn’t be practicing as a quarterback.

P2 – “Come closer, come closer…”

P3 – “Yeah, play whatever position you want. None of us coaches have thought you could play guard during your entire high school career, and you haven’t played it your entire career, so obviously this will work out well.”

And speaking of working out well, today’s Mopped Up Thorp worked out well, if I do say so myself.

Someone responded to me and I don’t know where. I clicked on what I thought was the link to the reply but, as often happens to me when there is only one reply or like, I somehow clicked on “dismiss”. Is there any way to get it back?

P3: “I’ve been thinking we can use more versatility. Today, the leather pants. are definitely good. Maybe tomorrow you can dress like a Catholic schoolgirl? Then on Wednesday, how about a French maid costume?”

What do you think of this Fu Man Chu I’m starting to grow?
