Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 30, 2018

Maybe the rules have changed, but I got a couple of recruiting letters eons ago and they came to my house, not the school. And if they had come to the school, it certainly wouldn’t have rated an announcement for everyone to hear.

It appears Dafne is only allowed to work on her story at the Bugle office. I don’t get it.

“To the office”. I guess the school has only one office.

Note to self: “Del” mug ordered for X mas

Some massive hooves on old Delano, say what?

Moose getting thrown a pity recruitment?

P1 Coach Delano’s right ankle appears to be broken beyond repair.

P2, Just the facts, ma’am.

P3, I like that they waited until he was right under the speaker to call his name.

Do all the girls at Milford have to wear that same shirt with the one stripe?

P3 What’s with the Boob shade and hair do’s in the whole school are pretty bad. I am opening a new salon and nail joint. What is Double D’s girl friend holding a broken field hockey stick???

I wonder if Milford High plays chimes before morning announcements like Rydell High. Pels to the office for “Pearls” of wisdom.

The way I see it, Coach Colvin is also the wrestling coach, and in panel 1 he is taking a selfie showing his skill at applying a seated version of the figure-four leg-lock to State U.‘s version of Coach Kaz, lying on the floor. Now, once they finally get disentangled, it’s off to the showers!

Dictates a letter? What is this? 1975?

Hey, just calling a quick time out to wish Wilbur a happy Canada Day. Take the day off tomorrow and don’t check in on the strip until Monday.

P1 – What the hell is going on? It’s impossible for his right foot to be in that position. The only logical explanation is that it is someone else’s foot tangled up with his. And that other person is on the floor or under the desk. I don’t want to know why.

P2 – Makes progress? All she is doing is staring at her notepad. I assume she would be writing her story on a computer (assuming the kids have them by now in Milford), not developing it on notepaper.

P3 – What a weird plot twist. Kevin is being requested by The Office? He’s going into acting? Thing is, that show is now only in reruns.

I know we like to kid around about the artwork, and I don’t want to belabor the point (well maybe I do), but that foot position is a major screw up. Unless he basically has a clean break in that leg. I cannot think of any way to defend that drawing.

Who is the girl on the left in panel three and why does that announcement give her ‘EES’?

She appears to be a female Russian weight lifter from those arms too.

Mystery of the day: Why is the girl in P-3 holding a Lacrosse stick upside down in the hallway?

In all reality , Dear Daphne , Coach Delano here at State U we have a top notch Journalism School, hope to see you here next Fall.Hey how many more of these BS letters do I have to do ?

P3: DD pulls the old gag on the friend: “Point to your head. Now, what’s the abbreviation for mountain?”
