Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 02, 2017

What a coincidence, they meet again. It’s almost as if it’s planned.

Harrison Bader of the Cardinals makes Barry proud with his first big-league homer Friday night.

For Cutter from yesterday — don’t forget The Great Svengarlic, who hypnotized the Three Stooges into walking out on the flagpole.

What on earth is Pelwecki thinking about in p1?

Hmmm……pigskin…..

It’s been a relaxing Summer sitting this inane plotline out and catching up on all the Urkle reruns in my DVR. Same for Nancy and Beetle Bailey!

I have no soccer jokes today. The USMNT made them all last night.

In all reality , P 3 both Heather’s and J QUAN’s sneakers say simultaneously I’ve been making some calls ! Talking sneakers what will they tell us?

P1- Heather with a shout out to our own Chief Illiniwek.

These featureless shots from a distance have to end- they look like the crash test dummies from the “Don’t be a Dummy, Buckle Up” commercials.

P1, Heather readies for another grueling day teasing The Tall Men. Moose must have found the giant magic mushroom from yesterday.

P2, Where else do you think he’d be? He’s about to miss the final NFL cuts so it’s either here or the basketball court readying for another NBA campaign.

P3, I call BS. Nobody under 40 uses their phones to make phone calls anymore, especially teenagers. Time to spend a day or two at Lake Milford and then on to 2-a-days.

In panel 3, Pelwecki is about 10 inches taller than Trey, who played pro basketball in Europe. We shall have to stop calling him “Moose” and start calling him “Giraffe”.

Soccer? had to sit through a soccer game in Charlotte back in the late 80’s to watch the Beach Boys when it was over. They were good that night and worth the wait but that soccer game was the most boring thing I ever sat through.

Optional dialog for panel one: “Mongo love football! Mongo squeeze and hug football!”
