Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 27, 2018

I remember a high school pep rally that had some skits, and three of the biggest football players came out in wigs and evening gowns billed as the “Supreme Fools” and lip-synched to “Stop in the Name of Love.” It was very funny. It also lasted three minutes. If they had gone on for hours it would have been dreadful. Just like this is. No one would still be watching or listening.

I’m ready to join a religion so I can start praying this doesn’t go on all basketball season.

Is this how Brent Musburger and Stephen A. Smith got started???

In all reality , Breaking News - WDIG NEWS FLASHMILFORD HIGH SCHOOL GYM VANDALIZED --The basketball court at Milford High School was vandalized overnight. FALN RULES was found spray painted across the gym floor and wall . Milford Police state they are questioning persons of interest .

STAY TUNED TO WDIG for ALL THE BREAKING NEWS

Is that Fist Pump Man in P2? Is he practicing as he drives? There’s no other reason for his hand to be in that position.

P1- WILSON!

P2- How is this kid picking up MPN in his car? FM converter?

P3- Polly the talking parrot. It ain’t easy being cheesy.

P1, This kid would have been dumped in a trash can at my school.

P2, That kid must be listening to the game with his decoder ring.

P3, So Duncan continues to polish his act by adding ventriloquism making it appear that the fake parrot is doing the talking. Also, is Gil’s master plan to oust Marty only include doing this nonsense at the away games? I guess he’d have to do something about this nitwit if it happened at home.

One of the must see places in Madison is “Fromagination”. So yes, cheesy and Madison are one in the same.

And just when you thought the storylines and dialogue of this once great comic strip couldn’t get more inane…

P3 – So he’s referring to Ashley Madison as cheesy? Seems like a ridiculous term to use. Maybe tasteless, repulsive, immoral, but cheesy? (My apologies to any Ashley Madison subscribers.)

Tomorrow Duncan will add to the hilarity by amputating his right hand and replacing it with a hook.

So how did the Mudlarks fare in their game at Central? Did former state champ coach GilPa drop another one, thereby scuttling (once again) his chances for a Valley Conference title? Oh, the humanity.

Meanwhile , Signman who was questioned by Milford Police , FBI and Homeland Security about the spray paint incident at Milford High School has been released and is no longer considered a suspect.Tune in WDIG at 5 PM for an exclusive interview with Mopman as he details his heroic efforts to remove the terrorists" message from the gym , in all reality .

Wait, in P1, is that image on the ball a ripoff of Wilson from Castaway? For shame.

I like the beveled thumb of the kid in p3.

This fall on NBC: Duncan and the Parrot, a hilarious look at a douchebag “broadcaster” in his high school years. Episode 1: Duncan awakens from his coma after performing his hijinx for the Madison students.

Where could this storyline lead.

Could Marty, finding an obscure note in the Valley rulebook, turn in Milford for illegally streaming Valley conference games, forcing Gil to forfeit games and broker an agreement?

Will the owner of WDIG like what MPN is doing and force Marty into taking a sidekick, raising not only WDIG’s ratings but Marty’s intake of Ol’ Happiness No-malt whiskey?

I’m sure, since basketball season is pretty much over (at least it is where I live) and baseball season just begin, that this whole thing might wrap up for enough time to get in a game or two of baseball in before Gil heads to the country club to teach the little kids who to chip and putt.

The story line abruptly changes when Duncan discovers that during the time of Madison, they hung Pirates.
