Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for November 17, 2021

Today’s second panel has been brought to you by the propaganda posters of every tyrannical dictator in history.

P2: “Look, up in the sky. It’s a bird …”

What’s going on in P1? What is Tevin handing to Spiller, a delux-size hypmotizement pen light? A bottle of water? Why? At the same time is Tevin either squatting as he gets ready to ignite his jetpack to fly across the cafeteria or is he going to one-up The Brass Against by dropping a deuce on purple shirt dude?

Ok, in all reality , so Boyd not a hypnotist does anyone know a cheap orthodontist asks the gap tooth lad in P2 Inquiring minds want to know !

P 1.5: “…but in the meantime, drink this…”

…and no Kaz, this really isn’t interesting

“Now let’s go win the conference championship”. For the first time in how many years?

What does he and his psychologist’s business have to do with somebody getting hurt? Enough of this B.S. and let’s get back to our quest for second in the Valley.

Well-meaning teammates don’t call their quarterback a choker.

Now that the illusion is shattered, let the losing streak commence!

P1: Spiller is turning Japanese, I really think so…

Now that we’ve experienced cafeteria confession and teen angst, let’s play some football. Surely there is one more game before Valley Tech and dreaded Coach Drool.

P1: Spiller gets a pat on the head for being a good boy.

Hypnotism didn’t cause that injury. I had a teacher who taught me to take chances, make mistakes. I also knew a young man who was able to cast a Patronus charm, really advanced magic, because he realized he had already done it. To reach the unreachable star, this is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.

Okay, great. Let’s get back to the football losses to Tilden and Valley Tech, shall we?

P 2 thought balloons: “…I wonder if he knows his fly is open…”

P 1.5: “…even though you only have an IQ of about 65…”

P 4: slow clap, (Pearl’s voice) “…how sweet Tevin…I’m touched…now GET THE F*** OFF THE G***** TABLE BEFORE I EXPEL YOUR A**….”

Now we know why Tevin didn’t go Blow Top mad before. His shrink kept him cool. He must really like Kiana

Meanwhile, Tevin accepts from Boyd questionable theragun treatment on his wrist after awkwardly hoisting himself onto the lunchroom table..

P2 The Rapture

All I can say is, OH COME ON! And speaking of coming on, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is coming on to a screen near you.
