Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 07, 2020

P2: Susan Wilcox-Olson my ass, that’s Lynda Carter!

I think Susan Wilcox-Olson’s internal gyroscope is broken.

Nothing better than dropping a deuce when you’re consti.., I mean contested.

P1, Phoebe Keener gets a little touchy-feely with the defender, too.

P2, Milford’s kicking game seems to be much better than it was during football season.

P3, Cue the theme from “Jaws” as Phoebe Caddyshacks the court.

P2 She is too top heavy, that is why she is falling forward.Can’t wait until tomorrow to see who wins this tilt

Does any one name their daughter “Phoebe”? 30 years of teaching don’t recall ever having one named Phoebe, even after “Friends.”

Another week. Another Milford team. Another player with allegedly two different jersey numbers. Last week was Marcel Irby. This week it’s Phoebe Keener. In P1 she’s #10. In P3 she’s #40 something. As Phoebe squares up for the deuce, is a foul play committed?

The girls look a little stiff out there. Time for Mimi to bring in Pedro for a massage session.

All the arms looks unnaturally long today. All these girls are huge. Smaller girls do play HS ball.

P 1: It’s not just one fist pump man/woman, but a whole gang of fist pump men/women

and we complain about Gil! while the games in progress, we have feeding, kicking and uh, um certainly not any strategy I ever heard of

Yesterday, the stands were pretty empty. Today it looks like a full fledged riot. Harding even brought their signs to this away game.

Weird shot. W-O is wide open, but is leaning in, as if someone were behind her, and also has already completed her follow through, though the ball remains inches from her hand.

P1 – I picture the opponent saying “GRAWWWLLL!” while pretending to be an attacking bear. Meanwhile Phoebe, who forgot to shave her legs below the knees, follows her mother’s advice to always keep your legs together, despite how awkward it makes it to play basketball.

P2 – My bad again. Susan ended up with a concussion when her feet slipped out from under her while attempting a 3-pointer. Too much floor wax again!

P3 – I cannot for the life of me figure out the narrative here. That sentence is meant to be a follow up to…what? The first panel? Is it saying Phoebe fed herself for a layup? Somebody please explain it.

And speaking of explaining, no explaining is needed to understand yesterday and today’s editions of Mopped Up Thorp.

P3: “Contested deuce”: Do they have no idea what other meanings words have, or are they just giving us fodder for yuks?

P3 – when did it go from basketball to rugby?
