Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 20, 2021

Muench on the bench, Doug not so smug, Gil take a pill. WAK! ZAP! POW! Holy Toledo Mopman.

P1 That don’t look like no bench to me! Is that a knee boot on his ankle?

P1- Whigham slips in a subtle reference with a pandemic style bench.

P2- Douggles toked up solo for pre game. That’s the buzz.

P3- Hondo Havlicek’s great grandson celebrates. WAK! Very drool R&W.

P1, Looks like the pandemic bench.

P2, Looks like Doug has run out of gas.

P3, You can’t tell it here, but it looks like both of these guys are wearing gloves in the color version. No glove, no love.

Boy o boy… that’s a really serious high 5, like “ take that coach… you don’t have an answer for our awesomeness…”

P-1: Muench’s wheel chair has had the wheels stolen. It should be up on blocks.

P-2: Um, uh, I think you’re supposed to defend from in front of the opponent, at least that’s the way we used to do it.

P-3: Some perverted cameramen take flash pictures at waist height. I really don’t want to see this Yearbook.

In all reality , what’s going on in P3 a giant death ray from the mother ship beaming down, floating orbs mutant Coronavirus floating in the gym,yes sports fans and I’m A Gilers the Armageden has found Milford

A big night for Vito from Goshen. Doug being “off” his game earned him a new set of racing tires. Can’t Gil see what’s going on?

P2 & 3 When did basketball players start wearing gloves?

P1 – How in the world is that Central player controlling the ball? His knee is actually indenting it!

P2 – C’mon Vic, you should have given one of your speeches to Doug at halftime to pump him up. And he’s out there looking like he’s attempting a windmill motion to block the shot. From way behind too.

P3 – Is this game being played in Texas? Doug in P2, and both Central players in P3 are wearing gloves. (See the color version or MUT).

And speaking of gloves, I’m taking off the kid gloves when dealing with the artist in today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

The color version of this strip has several players wearing gloves. Is that some new trend in Milford land. Assume they are playing indoors rather than the parking lot.
