Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for November 02, 2023

F Troop?

And the first two panels are there why? It could have easily been P1: “My dog has no nose.” “How does he smell?” P2: “Awful!” Makes as much sense…

P1: On field loofah drills – minus the loofah?

“Oh, Luke. We all hate your guts,” said Gil consolingly.

Wow. Lukey’s persona has done a 180. I almost feel compassion and empathy for the little sawed off runt. NOT!

P4: “That’s state champion Coach Thorpula, to you!”

Coaches off having a random convo while players practice by themselves – lawsuit waiting to happen.

P 2.5 (Gil): “… if it makes you feel any better, I hate your son’s guts…”

P 4 (Gil): “…. No, you idiot….I’m already here… the troops… go get them…”

“We know, Luke.”“Oh, well.”“That’s them. Round up the troops.”

This has been Chapter 17 in “Non Sequiturial Conversation.”

“The troops”: Coach Count Thorpula’s zombie army, recruited to flesh out a weak Milford defensive squad.

Maybe tomorrow’s strip will connect to this one (?) There may be hope for fourth place still available.

“That’s them.” Obviously, he’s talking to Keri.

Oh Yeah, with all the extra curriculars I forgot they play VT this week,

Join the club.

Reminds me of Bill Griffith’s “Fletcher & Tanya” non sequitur strips.

does coach luke use brylcream vitalis or crisco on his hair ?

wheres coach tays teaching dorothy to do a handstand ?

im surprised gil didnt say i hate your son for knocking up my peanut

“Round up the troops”? Is that anything like “Round up the usual suspects”?

Also, late October, coaches in shorts?

Maybe it’s his wife and her girlfriend

I came here to see the further story of Count Thorpula (and Beth)!Whahappen?

RIP Coach Bob Knight. You may have had loyal supporters and naysayers, however, you were never dull. Godspeed to The Hoosier Daddy.

Huh,..what,…who,..where?!

What’s wrong with Cami? Does she have a crappy mattress? Looks like she’s trying to stretch out her back. Also not sure why Gil’s speaking into his wallet in P3. And speaking of not sure, I’m not sure how long you’ve been waiting for today’s Mopped Up Thorp, but it’s now online.
