Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for May 10, 2017

I don’t think that backstop is high enough to protect the world’s longest bench behind it.

Panel 1 makes it appear that they play behind glass walls, inside a building. Fun idea!!

In all reality , Dude be my wing man and throw yourself on that grenade Carrie if needed .

p1 A backstop with no nets….pretty cool, but not very effective. What is the ump grabbing? “Dafne Dafonte” sounds like a pole dancer from Central City

Carrie Hobson is crushing on Gary Meola is because she found her Grandmother’s 1940’s big band albums. She is mesmerized by Gary’s “Crooner” hairstyle. Like Steve Alford, he never sweats and the hair never moves.

No Carrie for Gary and Double D would rather be with the girls. So has Jimmy been using the shot to practice his heading skills for soccer, or is he just dense.

I always wondered what happened to the invisible plastic shield from the old Colgate commercials. Nice to see Milford repurposed it for the backstop.

Gary – "um, not so much, besides I have a “tutoring session” with Lini Verde just now, so I’ll be skipping this game.

“Okay — the track exit is over there, to your right!”

So….I guess the story line now is that neither of these doofuses have enough of a sack to actually talk to these girls but will prefer to sit in the stands creepin on them….

Theme music for panel one: “Shadow man….. shadow man….. does whatever a shadow can”

Not much of a crowd here, is there? Do any of these girls have parents?

…how about a quick cutaway to Milford CC to check on Steve Boone’s handicap?

Here we go, Priscilla DD tells John Hurdler to speak for himself

You need your cape before going to the game, Shadowman.

are they coming out of all that poison oak in P1 ?
