Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 01, 2021

P1 The case of the Milford HS alien abductions unfolds as Vic and Doug obliviously engage in an amateur psychology session

P2 Still not seeing how fearing to play full effort basketball connects to driving competitively, but I can see that Mopman’s full effort janitor work over the weekend left the walls, floors and water fountIan immaculate

P3 As the white space between Doug’s ears processes Vic’s psycho-logic and standing behind Doug with his crutch, all I can visualize right now is the scene from “The Untouchables” where Capone goes medieval on one of his henchmen with a baseball bat

P2 This panel could be in the top 10 of R & W’s worst art work ever!!!

Somebody take a gun to another stupid story line and put it out of its misery.

Doug and Vic should have hooked up with CK for some brownies and a sports psychology lesson on Doug for Vic to learn from CK the expert

In all reality , who would put a hot tub with a drinking fountain attached in the middle of a school hallway, only in Milford

“I think I can get you a good price on term insurance. It’d be best to make me the beneficiary Doug. Where are the brake lines on your car?”

Fun fact: March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month! I am hoping for cake and a parade!

The tinkering with perspective in panel 2 is interesting, albeit initially confusing. Perhaps artist will do more experimentation. Might lend itself better to some sports than others.

I think we’ve had a breakthrough here.

P4- Actually Vic, those guys CAN get life insurance as a higher rated risk. There is always an insurer able to underwrite fire eaters, trapeze artists, high rise window washers and race car drivers. What Dougie needs is what Max “Baconator” Bacon had. A strong female presence like Menzie.

P 3 would be better with one of Rubin’s Batman-like sound effects “Slllluuuurrrppp”

Just drive past the S-Mart, the speed limit is 200 there.

P1, The Pinball Wizard plays full tilt.

P2, On approach, the water fountain spout is on the right.

P3, But when Doug goes to drink from it it’s on the left. Hmm, indeed. Well, at least Doug’s hair stayed one color today.

Yes, I’m not afraid of driving at breakneck speeds on some unstable pieces of metal, but basketball? A guy could get really hurt! You’re right—I going to Coach to turn in my uniform!

Does someone have a gun to his head to play basketball?? Just quit!!

When you saw that water fountain you just knew it was a going to move the story along.

GTF outta here with this nonsensical plot. But more importantly, it’s Day 86 of Moon Held Hostage. Obviously he has been following this storyline also and even he, in a drunken stupor as he struggles in rehab somewhere, knows when to stay away.

And you guys thought the girls were boring! I think my head might explode!

Is that a tiny hand in the water fountain?

Gee, Vic, when you put it that way, it makes it sound kinda stupid…

So this really is why Vic wanted to talk to Doug? Sooooooo dumb. So quit basketball if a freaking sprained ankle would ruin your racing career for some dumb reason. And quit changing your hair every day! Blonde to brown to blonde just during this conversation!

And speaking of changing, Mopped Up Thorp will never be changing. It will always be just as ridiculous as possible.

Years in the future, Doug will be in charge of Covid shutdown designations

Whatever happened to Doug and Bob, the 2 metropolitan police officers that Monty Python invented, after they supposedly killed everybody?

I’m starting to suspect that the people who follow ‘Gil Thorp’ are really trying to see how much stupidity they can tolerate before they escape from ‘Gil Thorp’ to avoid being accused of abusing their own mind.
