Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 19, 2014

I think we established yesterday that Gil sees Haskins at third base.

Kaz’s mullet is party in the back AND in the front. And kind of on the sides too.

P1 and 2 = truest comment about this strip yet

It’s not that surprising that Coach ThorP has to repeat everything to Kaz, all things considered. One look at Kaz’s hair and he has to hide his face in a towel to cover up his laughter.

“Unless something else bizarre happens.” What has already happened? This method of story-telling is maddening. It’s like joining a movie half an hour in, or starting a book on page 52. I know they have to condense things, but why not make Haskins a newcomer to the team? He’s certainly a newcomer to readers.

Funny thing, Luckey Haskins is the only exit on I75 between Toledo & Bowling Green.

Actually, after a run of guys who talk to peacocks, don’t talk at all, are kicker savants and topless teen dancers, Lucky is refreshingly normal.

Once again, I can’t help but think the dialog and the setup in today’s strip is taken from a bad gay porn film.

If any of you Gil Fanatics have ever watched soap operas (College fad from the 1980’s), you understand all you have to do is watch 15 minutes per week to stay current with the plot. I’m feeling the same way with these storylines.

I think it came from a previous arc that had a scene outside Gil’s home. The mailbox had THOR P lettered on it. (space between the O and P)(kdizzle may come back and differ.)

In all reality, in addition to being clumsey, having vision problems, Lucky has esp. Notice how Lucky shows up, Gil was thinking about him but never sent for him. Lucky got his nickname as a kid from the rail birds at the now closed Milford Downs. Lucky picked winning nags for them. After high school he will go to Las Vegas and become handicaper.

You know…… I can’t help but wonder what MAD (like it was back in th “60’s” would do with this comic strip.

‘MOP’ is pretty doggone close but I wonder what MAD would actually call it.

I remember one they did spoofing ‘old sport’s movies’ where they had a hippie QB named ‘Hip Swinger’ and a coach they called “Royal Bear Hades”.

I don’t really do it all the time but it was a thing for a while, threw it in just for fun – it was either the mailbox or the nameplate, I’m not 100%

I recall THOR P as the lettering on da Coach’s mailbox.

P1 Random Thought- Why is Kaz slurping that Big Gulp and perusing over Beau Dandy’s backside?

BUT WHY DID WILEY SET UP HIS SISTER WITH KEEGAN AFTER BEING CREEPILY OVERPROTECTIVE? AND THEN WHEN KEEGAN WAS A JERK HE DIDN’T EVEN CARE? ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Is Gil Thorp moving into a new, disturbing direction? Click here to find out.

“Yeah, I sent for ya…….hey, what happened to your eye?”

In all reality Mop, the answer to your question is simple Wiley asked Lucky to use his ESP and tell him Wendys future for the next few weeks. Lucky assured Willey everything would be OK and it was.

In all reality Bitsy, someone carelessly left a flip ramp from Crash o Donahues Stunt Show laying in the parking lot. It was dark, the car drove over it and flipped.

No guy named Lucky is ever Lucky. Who is the backup plan? The backup center named Tiny?
