Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for November 04, 2019

But is it blowtop sore, Chance?

And if the defense coughs up a 21-pt lead in the third … well, we know they have a bright future with the Atlanta Falcons!

Milford at Madison. And, once again, the Milford team hopes their black jerseys will blend in with the evening sky well enough to provide camouflage.

P1, He may be back, but who has the football? It sure doesn’t look like he does.

P2, Chance runs the old hidden ball trick and scores!

P3, Well then, let’s hit the showers!

P1 Guy on the left “I think the end zone is that way, good luck cuz I ain’t takin on those big guys from Madison”

P3 Chance is giving his back up a “chance” and maybe that will shut his old man up and keep him from digging into stuff"

In all reality , OKAY , Coach , me and Mr Blowtop will take a seat . Since we’re going to sitting for a ĺong time can we each have a Snickers ?

P1- Why is the Milford player smiling? I can hear Coach Herman Boone asking Petey Jones is football fun? Zero fun.

Madison must be in California. I can see the fire in the background.

Now Ruh-Roh will come in, fumble at least twice, leading to scores that let Madison back in the game, and Chet will once again blame Gil for Charlie’s gaffes, even though there’s not a head coach on the planet that will play a guy who has fumble-itis

I don’t know, maybe the Twills are just hale and hearty, but I can’t imagine ever asking out of a game for an ankle that’s getting “a little sore”.

How good would Wake Forest be if Charlie joined Tru on their Practice Squad?

No, in reality, I gotta take a dump coach. Real bad.

P 3: “…Got it. You don’t have what it takes to play this game, you dam wuss. Take a seat….for good….Roh!…get your helmet in go in for pretty boy here…”

Aw, Chance just showing what a good teammate he is, giving Sorry Charlie “Ruh” Roh some reps with his “sore ankle.” Just like with Tru and the passed-over Jared or whatever his name was. Since Chance looks so much like Tru maybe we can recycle some panels…

Meanwhile , Marty Moon announces to his listeners the fans are starting to chant something , I can’t make it out, its getting louder and louder, they’re stañding now chanting Charlie , CHARLIE, and in all ŕeality Charlie Run checks into the Milford backfield .

P1 – What is going on here? Is Chance returning kicks now? Cause the way everyone is positioned, it sure isn’t a handoff.

P2 – That ankle is still swollen. Badly! Look how huge his calf is, he shouldn’t be playing. Captain Picard should lose his trainer job.

P3 – Unless he twisted it again, it shouldn’t be getting sore. He’s either faking or, once again, not healthy enough to be playing. Picard, make it so, get him in street clothes!

And speaking of healthy, it’s always a healthy way to start your afternoon with a heaping helping of Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

The colorized version is even more confusing in P1. What is he holding? It’s just a tiny orange triangle.

Coming out of the game at only 27-6?!? I guess Trump was right….they’re winning so much they’re getting tired of winning. Second place may still be in play!!

You know, we’re assuming Milford is winning. But maybe they’re not. Nowhere did it say who had the 27 and who had the 6. And we’ve only seen one touchdown. Maybe Chance really is a bad teammate.
