Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 27, 2022

“Turned away from it all like a BLIND MAN, sat on the fence but it don’t work”

There’s a cameraman from WTF-TV filming us! Abd the KRAP-TV truck is just arriving!

A bloated and hung over Marty Moon’s jack*ss self kicks into high gear when, finally, he has a clear, lucid thought for the first time in months after an(other) epic bender and realizes that he too has been as blind as Gillll in failing to see Greggg’s flawless execution of Scooooter’s brilliant plan and psych job on opposing baserunners threatening to open can after can of bunt-a-palooza whoop*ss on Milford

OK, so Gregg will pitch the conference clincher — next arc.

Panel-3: the cameraman is filming footage for the series which will be a mid-season replacement for “America’s Got Talent”: “America Couldn’t Give a S**t”.

In all reality , Don’t stand too close that’s no cameraman that’s in all reality a guy with a flame thrower !

Does Milford play in the Valley of the Damned Conference? It’s nearly the 4th of July and there’s no end in sight to the season

Do you smell smoke? Has anyone seen Mopman?

Two more wins and they clinch the conference title? WTF? Is every other team in the Valley playing sub .500 ball? I’m going to owe Vito a lot of jack if the ’Larks manage to pull this one out of their ar$e

Marty Moon has a face for radio. Anddd Al Drake musta been something before electricity.

But he isn’t blind! If he were, huge story. Since he isn’t, the hysteria is unjustified. It’s like saying Beethoven could barely hear when he wrote the Ninth Symphony rather than writing it as a deaf man.

P2 and 3 – Greggg loading up the ball with the vaseline from Gil’s hair ala Gaylord Perry. However, judging by his grippp, he appears to think it’s a football.

The reason that 2 more wins will lock up the conference is that Milford will have played 15 more games than everyone else, since all the other schools have been on vacation for a month now.

They’re not going to actually win the conference, are they? That means we’ll have playoffs and it won’t be over this week. I’m betting on Milford choking away the title thanks to all the media coverage that Gillll invited. Way to blow it, Gillll!

(Maybe that’s less of a prediction and more of a wishful thinking situation.)

P3: The guy’s blind- how would he know the camera’s there unless someone informed him?

Wasn’t the softball team a part of this strip’s story arc? What happened to them?

And now starting for Milford…Robocop

P3….that must be one of the “video guys” that Heather borrowed the VHS camera from

They’re filming this for another episode of Corner Gas. (Sorry if that’s a little obscure; but, it was a fun show.

P 2.5: “…as long as Scooter is standing close to him….”

Well, if this is taking place in Milford Michigan, the cameraman is from the Michigan High School Athletic Association, gathering evidence to suspend Gil for endangering kids.

So did we miss the Ramos game and now it’s Greg’s turn?

Theme song for this story (Gil sings): “I started a joke…”

I’m getting ads for bikinis.

Martyyyy, that’s a stupid question from a stupid person. Because he’s not pitching THIS game it means he’s taking off the pressure? There’s two games after that, ask if he’s starting any of them! Because there will be more pressure in the last two. If Gillll says he isn’t pitching at all, that’s taking off the pressure. And speaking of pressure, the pressure is on for you to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp before tomorrow’s strip hits.
