Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 05, 2020

P1, It’s a giant hand! You were expecting something else in this strip?

P2, Well, at least Teddy’s good for some EES.

P3, And with that, Chris makes his first basket of the season.

P3: Nothing but not.

Teddy’s gonna say he gave Chris the test.

In all reality , Teddy records him giving the test to Chris with the micro camera he has in the palm of his hand .

Chris and Alexa should report what happened to the teacher. If they don’t they will only have themselves to blame if they are framed.

Yes! Finally some nice boys basketball action. But I’m disappointed Chris didn’t call “glass”.

P3- Clarence Carter would be proud. Chris is Strokin’.

Chris is at the library practicing for the GIL THORP championships, a version of HORSE. Your officiant, Mopman, correctly and alertly noticed the “no-glass” call, and Chris has been penalized. The finals, in front of the senior class, between Chris and Alexa will determine the valedictatorship. Live-stream on Pirate TV!

WAP- TUNK should have happened to this storyline.

Why is he goofin’ off in the library when he should be studying?

Patreon supporters get to see a different third panel, showing Teddy in mid-air, booted out of the library door, test papers stuffed into his mouth.

A rare 4 Panel Thorpe? p5? Chris goes to the can and digs out the test.

WAP! TUNK! ONO! MATO! POEIA! BTYANNG!

Chris will get a great grade, Teddy will make his claim, two weeks of nothing will go by, the teacher will eventually say that this year’s test is different and that last year’s test would not have helped Chris, and Teddy will get in trouble for trying to cheat.

This is not unlike when Eddie Haskell hid the test answers in the paper towel holder.

Ed Haskell was all about the business.

…I see DeMarco sentenced to walk the halls of Milford, tennis ball on a giant stick in hand, rubbing out black heel marks…

Chris wastes two points from his next game, bringing his scoring down to 3 from a red hot 5 ppg.

Still not convinced on this plan. He even admitted it was LAST YEAR’S EXAM. So who cares? Other than it’s great for studying, it is not unethical. And if it is for some reason it will be the exact same test (which does NOT happen with AP classes), his plan is that he admittedly had possession of this forbidden exam and passed it around. So he ends up getting a massive suspension or expulsion. Yep, this is genius.

And speaking of genius, if you’re looking for some genius cartooning, take a look at the last two days of Mopped Up Thorp. You won’t find it there, but after you’re done, start searching the web elsewhere.

Good for Chris Schurring, in most schools old tests are used as study guides at least they were when I went to school

Have you heard the one about this peacock that walks into a tattoo parlor?
