Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 31, 2016

Both Sign Man and Fist Pump Man have defected to Downsville. Can’t say I blame them.

Downsville would have been a good school for Maynard G. Krebs.

Milford High, Home of the Inconsistent Athlete.

Assuming his performance is directly related to whether or not there was a rave in Central City the night before, unless that was another red herring.

Well, Gil, maybe you should talk to BKB. You should have a pretty good relationship with him by now. He’s been there nearly as long as you have.

No time for that now. The bus is about to get T-boned.

In all reality , Gil is growing a Hitler mustache for 2017 Kaz replies Jah mein Fueler !A side note I will be out tonight strolling , Please don’t drink and drive . Be safe .

Go Fagels??? Owensville must be near N. Kiltown! Interesting to see how 2 of the 3 Stooges figure out The Big Guy! Most likely drag in the 1st year Psych. Teacher, or take out a book on coaching Big Guys at the Boo Radley Memorial Library branch oddly placed in the Baders Jumbo front yard!

Hah!! R&W, drole. Very drole. Downsville Eagles. CJ, Aaron is an Omega legacy, hanging out with Greggy and Dougie and the other Hitler youth. He has yet to be introduced to Mandy Pepperidge.

Alien writing on the wall in P2, and they’re peering in the windows in P3.

Screw you, Milford! Sign Man can’t live on the once a month bone you throw me. Downsville pays cash!

Maybe if you could get Aagard’s mind off of auditioning for The Gong Show…

I’ve a hunch Gil and Kaz should be looking at game films to determine why Aaron did well against Downsville, but struggled against Binghamton and Tilden.

At least, that’s what good coaches WOULD do…!

Oh, I get AQuad can check out anytime he wants but we can never leave. I think R&W’s brains are Fryed.

Well he plays well against some and not against others because some games he’s motivated, some he’s not, based on past strips. Nothing to do with the opponent’s’ defense. So what is the cause of his irregular play? (Cue someone to suggest Ex-Lax.) Is it his late night partying, or is it drugs? Or is it some kind of bi-polar situation? Or getting depressed because of his mother’s yet to be disclosed ailment? Whatever it is, whether it makes sense is not a given. And speaking of givens, it’s a given that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is the last strip of 2016.

P2 – A two-handed reverse dunk? The Valley Conference always has a lot of high-flying top notch high school talent. There are plenty of extremely talented and athletic players in this area every year, college scouts must visit all season.

It might not matter if the coaches figure out the big guy because they’re about to get “Boo Radley’ed”. (too soon?)

Also, if they’re really interested in figuring out what’s wrong, they can wait until morning, where they can write Heather a pass to miss class.

looks more and more like this character is on drugs and is not abvle to find what he waqnts
