Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 23, 2023

In full uniform at opponent’s field so I assume it’s a road game, even though there appears to be nobody in the stands, and Gil wants to “try” a new play never practiced before? Let’s get real.

P3: I forgot the whiteboard!

Apparently Leo is not impressed with the Thorp Special. He likely assumes loofahs are somehow involved.

is supposed Tobe Leo? Not a traditional number for a QB. Thought Azhoutite was #7.

Luke looks natural sucking up and throwing that know in all Cami under the bus. Nice!

Not sure who ‘Leo’ is, but from his jersey number, he’s either a running back or a defensive back so why would Gil be discussing the play with him and not his quarterback?

Hurry. The 6-minute TO is nearly over.

Oh no , my special play is for a very special occasion, in all reality!

How about the "Skilly-Mooch or the old “Hook and Ladder” play

Luke throws Cami under the bus.

Yes, let’s run a play that had never been practiced. All coaches do that

Sorry, forgot about the Rainbow kick!

I cannot figure out this scenario. Is it before the game, is it half time, is it a time out, why are all the coaches on the field, where did Cami appear from, she wasn’t in P1 or P2. Would you start the game with the Thorp special which he has been running for 50 years to surprise them? So many questions.

“Coach! You said you wouldn’t tell nobody about the ‘Thorp Special’ you gave me in the locker room last week!”

I thought the thorp special was a very dry martini

is it against the comics code to name any defensive players ?

yeah cami you call the plays I hear the bobcats serve top shelf liquor here Emmett tays is having hennnessy as we speak

P 1: “…. since that stupid thorp special doesn’t fool anyone anymore…”

P 3 (cami thought bubble): “… OMG!… how does he know?…”

Cami: “Well, we could try shipping the ball via UPS.”

Come on, why don’t they just alternate between running The Thorp Special and The Luke Special (I forget what the name for it was when he ran it at VT, if it had a name). They would be unstoppable! Or does Luke’s play only work when Pedro is the QB? And speaking of work, I did just about the minimal work to get today’s Mopped Up Thorp out.

Oh man, I just woke up. I ate like, half of Jack Berrill’s birthday cake. I didn’t plan on it, but I accidentally fell into it and had to eat my way out. Took half the night.

There was no indecision about play calling and execution last night in Milford, (OH) as the Ohio AP poll #7 ranked, Division 1, Region 4, #1 ranked Eagles defeated winless Little Miami 28-0 to move to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in conference play. But wait! There’s more! Milford’s win, coupled with a Winton Woods loss means the Eagles are in sole possession of first in the Valley (aka Eastern Cincinnati Conference). The season of dreams rolls on.

P1- “…We’re the team that has to kick off!”

P2- “..We were working on it half the night and again this morning.”

P3- “The whole team? Here? Right now?”

P2- Portly Luke has gone to h@ll in a hand basket. Looks like the only thing he’s been lifting has been jumbo sized forks and spoons. Breaking News Irish Laddy! The amazing sloppy joe inventory is decimated.

Sorry, Jami, I know you want to be the star of Gil Thorp, but at least today you’re the star of Episode 34 of Milford After Dark.

I though Gil was the coach at Milford????

P4, Cami: “Luke, Dr. Pearl wants to meet with us first thing Monday morning!”
