Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 09, 2022

Hot legs, Moslem girl!

Welcome to “The Show” girls.

Who is “they” Keri?

In all reality , Kerri , I only care about beating the point spread !

I don’t care that it’s your first match…errr…game. Just win baby!

“Orale” means “oral”, but that doesn’t make any sense.

P1 We used to call that nervousness the “pre-game poops” Kari.

P2 “No, we’re not proud of you – yet. Now go out there and show us what you got. Don’t make us question our putting you on this team.”

P3 Do we have another incident of color dysphoria again today with the JV uniforms and #64 bing the disproportionally tall libero wearing an offset pink jersey? Is this the girl’s soccer team goalie who wandered into the gym looking for a stray soccer ball and got caught in this meaningless debate and mistakenly picked up a volleyball?

P2: Good thing the Gilfather is there to do a little “mansplaining.”

Who is talking in p3? Between that and the kid finishing Gil’s sentence, what a group of smart alecks.

Whatever happens… it was nice knowing you.

P 2.5: “…no, b****…that’s not what I was gonna say, so shut your pie holes and let me finish….”

64 thought bubble: “…first game she’s ever coached?….oh yeah…we are gonna’ pound this ball down your throats…”

Yes children, today’s strip has as much interest as a normal JV game.

You are 10 to 14 days off normal Snark Nation schedule Henry. By next week, we enjoy a huge bonfire that would make Arthur Brown shed a tear and Signman would display the new season’s Go Milford! Beat Oakwood! signs. Fist Pump Family will be celebrating after the opening game victory. And the showers will be steamy with intrigue and the uncertainty of teen angst. GilPa needs a new assistant. Who better to coach QBs than the gritty, gutty Mike Hayes. Mike was a HS version of Joe Kapp, but he had the intestinal fortitude to inspire the Mudlarks.

Now let’s get that 16mm film in the shower cam and bust open that box of brand new loofahs. After a losing Summer at Milford Downs, Marty s primed to get back in the tinderbox behind his Mr. Microphone.

I find myself rereading these constantly…the scripts don’t flow and I’m not sure who’s saying what….then again does it really matter….mopped up thorp makes much more sense to me…

Ahh, this is a loss. Let’s move onto the hockey team.

Very confusing 3 panels today.Very large volleyball in P3. Girls cannot wear any jewelry in our states HS volleyball. Is that the libero or the coach in P3 and why does she have a numbered jersey on? Is that short person saying Orale in P3 the coach?? If it needs an explanation, it is probably confusing to the players. I hope they found that contact lens in P1.

All I want to know is….are the football players all sitting together as a team to watch the game or are they divided and sitting on opposite ends of the gym?

Coaches Held Hostage: Coach Kaz, Day 77 of 95. To honor the number 77, here’s a link to the theme song of 77 Sunset Strip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtTV9tZeRD4The street that wears the fancy label, that’s glorified in song and fable, the most exciting people pass you by, including a private eye. Here’s to Stu Bailey, Jeff Spencer, Kookie, Suzanne, and Roscoe.

Today’s hopeful theme song: Bobby Vee sings: Just Like a Rubber Ball, I Come Bouncing Back to You (Bouncey, Bouncey, Bouncey, Bouncey)

This is going to be a long season if the players are so depressed they can’t even stand up straight. Before they’ve even played one game. And speaking of games, don’t go playing any games, just go read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
