Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 19, 2015

Unless True’s juggling ability is going to have some bearing on this story, this might be the most wasted strip in Milford history.

The ball in Tru’s hand in P3 looks like those little gumballs you could get in the penny machines that look like baseballs.

More and more it looks like B&T are the perfect couple. He’s a juggler and she has the clown hair, the giant teeth and the hog nose.

S-t-r-e-e-e-e-t-c-h-h-h out that storyline with some meaningless filler. About as dull and uninspired as a JPW comment.

Thank god True didn’t play basketball this winter or he’d have to “juggle” his jump shot motion too. Expecting old man Gil to flip out tomorrow. No clowning around during losses!

Today’s strip isn’t a total loss – there is some humor there. But I’m not sure what’s funnier – #1 talking through his sac or Tru(e) juggling while his team is getting thumped.

Boring at best. Seems it is hard sometimes for the creative team to find ways to stretch out a story line.

My guess is that his act of humor gets the team way from thinking about being behind and they break out and win 9-8.

Eeesh. I can’t imagine how volcanic a normal coach would be at seeing one of his players clowning around like that while the team was getting thumped.

In all reality , whats next in True’s bag of tricks , showing the team how to make rally caps or blowing a buble gum bubble and putting it on an unsuspecting teamates head or smashing a pie in Gil’s face during an interview ?

What is unacceptable on the bench for football or basketball, the baseball dugout is a different story. Rally caps, spitting on shoes AND juggling are tolerated. If the Mudlarks really want to rally and prevail, SOMEBODY has to light some firecrackers to wake up Kaz and GilPa.

“It’s hard to juggle the football motion and the baseball motion.”? WTF? WHO WOULD EVER SAY THAT?Must refrain from commenting on Tru(e) taking a couple of balls to the face in P3.

….the new Bob Benson of this board continuing his unctuous ways…

C’mon guys, this is the land of Milford. Fundon and Bearwku82 almost had it. Juggling = Peacock! Team rallies and Tru juggling becomes the new good luck charm. Yawn, I’m going back to bed

P1 – How often do players sit on the bench wearing their glove? Today’s strip was so damn boring that I struggled to come up with anything. Did someone mention small balls? Yes, speaking of small balls, today’s Mopped Up Thorp doesn’t ignore them

Gil already juggles the books in the athletic department, and look what it’s done for him.

Nice save, Mopman.

Yesterday I commented on the seams on the baseballs in those two panels being exactly alike. The seams on the one on the top left in panel three today do not look like any baseball I ever saw.
