Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 02, 2016

Stayed tuned until our next episode, where Tru(e) becomes a headhunter and has his throwing arm shattered during a Pier Six brawl

Welcome to Milford – the Unhappiest Place on Earth

Remember, Tru(e), it’s not your job to make something happen!

Of course, everyone on Tech will know that True was once the dead student’s boyfriend, just the way everyone in the conference knew Maxwell Bacon and Kenzie Hanley were a couple. Even with social media it seems a stretch.

You kidding, Chip? Marty Moon would have broadcast it. “AND once again, Tru(e) Standish refuses to talk to me about the tragedy! What did he know about that night? What is he hiding?”.Tell me this doesn’t sound completely plausible.

The third driver SHOULD have already been divulged as even a bumper thumper could bring two cars to a stop in an intersection. The third one was totally out of control, right? He/she’s the killer…

Gil’s left hand is twice the size of his right in P1 as he makes The Sign of the Bader to fire up Tru(e). And WTF kind of pants are those he’s wearing? Looks like something John Daly plays golf in.

On Monday, Tru(e) fires a fastball between the eyes of the first VT batter as a tribute to Boo. With it being only a tennis ball, the batter shakes it off, the brawl begins and the police have to come to break up the fight. Tru(e) ends up in the same cell as Grand Master Bader and the fun begins. The following Monday, on to Milford CC.

In all reality , the bad news continues for Barry " Don’t Call Me"Master " Bader . A call from his eye doctor telling he needs glasses and in an unfortunate fireworks accident he blows off both hands. Have a wonderful 4th of July .

I can just see it on Monday. In the words of Ron Burgandy, “That escalated quickly.”

I always get a kick out of Gil & Kaz wearing those coach pants with a stripe. P2- Milford High, the school in The Valley with a black pitching rubber. The season should wrap up in about 9 panels. Meanwhile, Carl Peake and Mrs. Lark are playing hankie pankie at MCC. You GilPa fanatics worry too much about Moonpie. He’s enjoying a Summer hiatus of Swisher Sweets, Old Fitz and an exordinary Milford Downs losing streak.

In P2, it looks like Tru(e) and Ken are standing in a crop circle. The aliens!

@dutchpuppy: OJ did it.

OK, Tru why in the world are you ticked off anyway? VT has actually behaved. Oh, I know, you wanted a tribute. Here you go: BOO, BOO, Milford pitchers suck!…and he lived happily ever after.

P-3: Big K Brown: Relax, Tru, sticks and stones, sticks and stones (& Pick-up trucks).

He’s surprised that the other team isn’t taunting them about a girl from their school getting killed. Yeah, okay. So Tru(e) is mad at Valley Tech because, um, transference? In his mind he’ll be getting revenge for Boo’s death by hurting them because, uh, psychology things. Whatever, Gil will know and will offer words of wisdom whenever this ends. And speaking of words of wisdom, the only words of wisdom I can offer is to suggest that you read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

I was going to write that no one would stoop so low as to taunt a player about someone’s death, but then I remembered reading that after Steve Kerr’s father was assassinated in Beirut when he was in college, some in the Arizona State crowd chanted “PLO! PLO!”

Hey, Big Ken Brown got a tan since yesterday in the color version of the strip.

Little girl BOO didn’t blow her hornPa Bader was driving after too much cornWhere are the writers who give us this bleepTrying to draw Boo at her funeral from six feet deep.
