Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 20, 2023

Huh. When DID Moon start? By the 70s at least, but does anyone know?

Believe mid-60s, when he and Gil rivaled for the affections of Holly Dobbs.

Looks like I’m wrong. No gray car will be involved in the story this week. Apologies to all.

P1.5…or is it P2.5? “I’m having trouble focusing my eyes, but speaking of Blue Moon, I’ll have another!”

P1 So much action to start the week! Fist pumps, Leo Atazhoon-heit breaks his opponents wrists, but not his ankles, with is stellar athleticism, Marty Moon gets is nose tickled and ants, ants, ants!

P2 Marty calls for a Blue Moon then states the score in reverse, still suffering denial about falling off the wagon and partying in Mopman’s sanitation headquarters on St. Patrick’s Day in Milford After Dark. Will his contract be in jeopardy since he didn’t ask for a cold, frosty Hoo?

P3 Rod goes “Big Ken Brown” and makes a conference final showdown with Valley Tech happen. What kind of backwater burg is the Valley that conference opponents don’t play home and home?

P1- Oakwood traditionally has been called the Oaks. When the name change?

P 1 (Marty): “… and who gives a hoot about the owls anyway?…. Haaahaaahaaa….I’ll have another Falstaff please…”

Jefferson Jeffs? The only way that mascot is intimidating is if the costume is Jeffrey Dahmer.

Undefeated going into the conference finals means after another embarrassing loss to Big Hand Luke’s boys (with the final seconds taking three days to play out) the Larks are assured of 2nd in the Valley. Congratulations Coach Thorp, you’ve done it again!

Milford loses 2 starters just before the Tech game for illegal vape sales,

what team was the kid who looked like kingpin on ? they gotta bring him back

Meanwhile, over on a cruise ship leaving the friendly port of Glenwood, Fred and Wilma are a bit put out over the entertainment fare that’s been slightly altered. Get ready, brace yourselves, kids don’t try this at home

MUD MOUNTAIN MURPHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Now who ELSE would have been the surrogate act, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band???? C’mon, Rex, cut us readers some slack on our intelligence level. Yeah, they and Melanie will be headliners fer sure on that cruise along the Republic of Seychelles. I got a brand new pair of roller skates, these plots just have no keys.

At the Valley Tech-Milford Championship Final

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise and remove your hats as The Honorable Herbert “Mud Mountain” Murphy graces our presence to sing our Nationalllll Anthemmmmm!!!!!!!”

P1 – Fistpump Man confuses the fan sitting next to him who thinks he was trying to start the wave. And speaking of waves, make sure you wave as you go to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. Um, what?
