Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 14, 2016

Is that kid in p2 wearing glasses or a monocle? That lens appears to sit on the bridge of his nose.

Sign Man!

“MILFORD IS LES?” Err, either Sign Man is unaware that Les Neemy graduated years ago, or that’s inappropriate for a girls’ game!.(hides behind large grey cat)

Mimi’s hand has a face on it, with her wedding ring as the mouth.

How much WUD! would 45 chuck if her elbow could chuck WUD! And is she rebounding or trying to squeeze the air out of the ball?

Now, WTF happened to to Mimi’s hand in P3? I see an index finger a thumb a stub and a possible little finger, and it looks like there’s still room for at least 2 fingers that are missing. It almost looks like she inflated a rubber glove. At least we have another dramatic finger point for Mop’s collection.

Ref to Mimi in P3. “The girls stopped wearing skirts in games here in Milford about 2 years ago. Just letting them play coach.” And, yeah the girls basketball team still wore skirts when I was in high school. They didn’t switch to shorts until after I graduated.

In all reality , P 2 does Monty Monocle have an ear bud in his ear ?

In all reality , P 3 sounds like the old About and Costello Whose on First . Whose her, ref you mean Em ?

Thudda, Wudda, Coulda. Gol-Lee, that sure looks like our hero, former State Champ Coach in the zebra shirt.

Gee golly, I wonder what’s going to happen next? I sure hope Mimi doesn’t put in Ken(zie). She might get hurt.

Pointy elbows to the stomach make no sound, certainly not “WUD!” Their recipients tend to make a sound akin to “OOF!”. The resultant puff of air coming out of #3’s eye seems like a bit of a stretch though.

Well, at least Mimi is trying to coach.

“Ludmilla” in panel one have very large arms! Worked as stevedore in old country before coming US America.

Oh c’mon, you barely let me in the comic anymore and then you take the shot when the ref is blocking my face?

Let Kensie in, she’ll show them elbows. #45 looks like she is on steroids.

the WUD-victim looks like our own Ken Brown with a hair extension. Twin sister?

Five kids in the stands and none of them is looking at his or her phone? No way. Also, the kid in the top row of bleachers is looking down court, away from the action. Pay attention! This is going to be on the final.

Hammer time! Ken(zie) “The Hammer” Schultz, that is.

WUD: What’s Up Doc?

I foresee Kenzie in some Hansen brothers type action

So playing with girls gives someone WUD?When Kenzie goes in Mimi can tell the ref: “Boys will be boys”.

Time to take out the trash, Kenzie.

“Unleash the Kraken…..uhhh I mean The Kenzie.”

Well, she expressed a desire to play like Max Bacon, so I’m thinking she’ll try a no-look pass, maybe fling her body down the lane and throw up a prayer, launch a few 3’s. Quite possibly at the wrong basket.

That ref sure is cheerful, obviously on the Cherry Creek payroll and gloating about it to Mimi. And speaking of gloating, I’m gloating about how great today’s Mopped Up Thorp is. Well, maybe great is too strong of a word. Let’s just say it’s good. Or average. Or it’s available.

Okay, we all know what happens next. Mimi sends in Menzie to lay it on #45. Which of course is ludicrous as Menzie has no idea what to do. Watching video and then watching Big Ken Brown play one game hardly turns you into a player. If it’s realistic she’ll either foul out within 5 minutes or get ejected for a flagrant foul within 2 minutes.

WUD!=EES. Chicka boom, chicka boom, don’t you just love it?

Cue the music for Jaws when Kensie enters.
