P1 – For a guy who has always been a “team first, not looking for the spotlight” type player, he sure is obsessed about not making just one more shot during the game so his percentage was over .500.
P2 – “The hands are good, they want the ball.” What the hell kind of statement is that? He’s calling his teammates “the hands”? On the other hand (ha), I think the writers wrote it that way as a double meaning. They’re saying to us, hey, you always comment on the hands in this strip. Well check it out, the hands are good!
P3 – Well that problem is resolved already. Good thing Gil didn’t have to do anything or Chris would be screwed up for a month before Gil showed back up.
And speaking of showing up, what’s now showing up is today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.
Look Chris. You don’t have True’s talent. Or his appetite for the training table. You haven’t shown the intestinal fortitude of the gritty, gutty Mike Hayes. Enough of this finger pointing and hand jive. Embrace your teammates. After all, if you scrub their back, they’ll scrub yours.
Just wait until Chris’s repressed aggression comes to the surface, and he ignites the offense. Then he beats the snot out of Teddy D and loses his shot at valedictorian!

Hmmm, I would have bet money the one guy was taller than the other guy.

P1, So, now Chris is supposed to be the new Big Ken Brown?
P2, The hands, in this case are as large as the basketball court itself.
P3, Because you suck at it on the court!

And with that high five, this storyline ends. Milford hockey starts Monday.

I’ll need a sleep apnea machine if this story keeps it’s current pace much longer

I’ll admit to not knowing much about basketball, but does any of this make any sense at all?

“I have to give you credit—that almost makes sense”That’s how I often feel about GIL THORP…

Nine points on nine shots—that’s exactly 50 percent in true shooting percentage, genius!
