Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 28, 2017

1 on 2? Come on, Aaron, find an open teammate.

And it’s pretty impressive he made the block and is the first one down the court. Either that, or his teammates are incredibly slow.

What state has a shot clock in HS BBall?

p3 Player “Z” will block Aaaron’s shot cleanly but still get called for a foul. No time on the clock Aaaron makes the first foul shot and bricks the second, we’re going to overtime!

From the looks of things, the US – Mexico border runs directly behind one of the baskets.

Miss that basket & it’s the dungeon for you Aagard!

Marty, sippy cup at the ready seems surprisingly coherent at this late stage of the game.

Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchel races up the court at such a furious pace, a huge portion of his scalp flies off.

A Quad blows by Zorro and now the only obstacle between him being the hero or the goat is the humongous George Jefferson High center. Will he score, will he pass, will we know this week, will we care?

Oh and tcar-1, I replied to your replies yesterday in case you haven’t seen it yet.

Alley-oop, it’s up, it looks good and ….. we’ll see tomorrow!

P3- As I see Aaron knifing to the hoop like Rick Barry, the greatest villain the ABA ever had, I eagerly await the next 9 panels….Naw. Turn the page. Even the ants have left.

This is the most boring strip ever. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

This game is taking longer than the entire NBA season.

My fearless prediction: AQuad, playing like a man possessed simply because Gil said his mom is happy to watch him play, powers to the hoop to win the game. But misses the shot and Milford loses. He is inconsolable, thinking he has disappointed his mom. But she is so happy just to see him play with such energy that she states it eliminated all desire for her to ever take drugs again. They hug, the sun comes out, birds are chirping, and Gil smiles smugly in the background. The rest of the team all hugs while crying tears of joy. Suddenly Kaz’s voice booms out, “Come on guys, save it for the showers.” The happy mood is broken.

And speaking of broken, lucky for you that the link to Mopped Up Thorp is not broken. https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

A lot happened with only 4 seconds on the shot clock…since there is still time on the clock, all of this happened with 3 seconds?

I’m with Bucky. We’re going to OT. It’s only Tuesday and the new sleep inducing story won’t start until Saturday. P-3: How deep is their team with a sub wearing an alphabetic jersey? Everyone who wants to pay gets to be on the team. Very sporting.@MUT: actually Mom is so excited she asks AQ what he’s on. She’s ready to experiment with something new.

I can’t wait to find out what happens tomorrow. Not with the game. I’m wondering if P1 will go all the way back to the blocked shot or only to AAAAgard driving to the hoop.

Some comments were made yesterday about team names. Is this the ‘Jefferson Cleaners’? Is that ‘BKB’ in a cameo role as Lionel in panel two

Jefferson Cleaners? Jefferson Starships? Jefferson Airplanes?

Do the Jefferson Cleaners play on the east side? We see the AAAAgards do not live in a de-luxe apartment in the sky.

I see a white void in which two Milford players, a single ref, and a couple of Jeffersonians are playing basketball just for Marty Moon, all by himself. Has Marty died, and this is his idea of Heaven? Is there forever a tightly-contested basketball game playing there, with seconds left on the clock, and Marty announcing? Is the ref God himself?
