Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 11, 2022

Uh oh. Gil’s gonna blow up tomorrow.

… that anyone knows about, anyway.

P4.”So what? He did what we brought him in here to do – kick the d*mn ball. His sexuality doesn’t define him.”

Marty must be on sabbatical

Gil, when will Milford be changing their mascot from the Mudlarks to an endangered species? What are these rumors about the concessions going vegan? Has the grounds crew eliminated all fossil fuel operated mowing equipment?

P1.5 LOOFAH! LOOFAH! LOOFAH!

Your out of your league, Donny.

Coach Thorp one last question before I let you go celebrate.Sure Lach . In all reality , do you support the women’s right to choice ?

This plot line is a bunch of crap. I looked up the rule and you can’t kick to yourself in American football and advance the ball. Only time you can kick to yourself at all is on an onside kick, and the kicking team may repossess the ball but not advance it.

Nice to see Fist Pump Man’s son made the team this year. Too bad he’ll never play a down since they can’t find a helmet that properly fits his ultra-small melon.

P4: Gil: “Toby’s not a Trans, Lachlan, he’s a Frosh. Yes, Toby and his Mom moved here from Hollywood this summer, but he’s still a Frosh. Many Trans have played football for the Mudlarks.”

P5:Kaz: “Um, Gil, I don’t think you know what ‘Trans’ means.”Gil: “Sure I do. I’m the new hip Gil. I listen to Patsy Cline on my car radio and I rock the flip phone and I… Ooooooohhhhhh!”

Only need a slight change to Vin Scully’s famous call for this one: in a story line of the improbable, the impossible has happened

Lachlan must be a long time local hack like Marty. A real pro would say congratulations not congrats. The post game shower celebration should be intriguing. Scrub scrub here, scrub scrub there, scrub scrub all day long. That’s how we celebrate in the merry old land of GilPa!

So if this isn’t a daydream, yesterday’s strip really did have Milford playing the wrong team.

So now the whole town knows the kid is trans, including strangers? That’s not good.

Marty probably left with the previous writer.

P 4: “…what do you mean by trans kid?…he don’t even own a car, and especially not a classic one…”

…and his Mom is not a heavy metal fan…she’s a Beavis and Butthead fan because she’s always wearing one of the shirts that they wear.

P 1 (Toby thought bubble): “…YES!!!..he called me ‘my dude’…the drugs and surgery are definitely working…no one will ever know…”

love the new reporter! seems like a star ;)

Still want to see how they address the locker room issue.

P-4: Oh, and Gil, I’ll never forgive you for talking Mel out of it, either!

P-5: Keri yelling at Jami- “OK, who told!?”

Where’s the NBC crew? Is there a post-game show? These guys are big time now!

Another inspirational story after the blind pitcher

P1- Before the big celebration, Toby changes back into Tabatha.

P2- “Okay Gil, he’s right in front of you now.”

P3- “Toby is a natural….switch hitter.”

P 4: kid from losing team shoves Lachlan on his a$$, like Davante Adams did to camera guy last night

Watched a rainbow kick video on the you tube. Don’t think it would be legal under any circumstance in a football game.

So somehow the media knows there’s a transgender kid on the team? Who was calling the media? And what is Kaz wearing in P2? Are those yoga pants? And speaking of what, what are you waiting for? You should be reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P 3: “… Toby is a natural…a natural girl that is…”
