Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 23, 2019

P2- Mop, weren’t you supposed to remove those Claymores when you dragged the infield?

The SS Linda Carr sails Friday from Miami on a Caribbean cruise.

It’s rally hippo time! I can’t believe I just typed that.

With this being Red Nose Day and all, shouldn’t today’s strip feature Marty?

P1, No sound effects today?

P2, Linda and Molly certainly aren’t getting anyone out.

P3, The rally hippo appears to have gone to the dark side.

In all reality , Marty Moon here reminding everyone that Milford Motor Speedway is celebrating 50 YEARS of racing this year. The action starts Friday night with the ever popular 50 School Bus Demo Derby and continues Sunday with the Milford 500 . Buttons will be given out to the coolest racing fans . Fifty Cent Hoo Beers both days must be 21 or have someone Hoo is buy them for you.

P2: “Left or the right hand, they big time jabronis.”

So, is the point here that the girls had a good season going, despite the rally hippo, and Nancy & Molly screwed it up by creating dissension over the distribution of $0.39 trinkets? Great story! Hard-hitting, realistic teen issues

P1- EBS (Exploding Bat Syndrome) has created an unhappy softball. The Lady Mudlark Field contains viewing for the knothole gang. Methinks they have faraway eyes t-car.

Cat Fight!! nice balancing act with the ball on her head

Was it in the first or last inning? The hands up base runner indicates a game winner.

So first she doesn’t pay attention, now she pays too much attention and runs all the way in front of Molly who hasn’t even moved for the grounder? The college scouts must be drooling over her now. And speaking of drooling, you’ll be drooling over today’s installment of Mopped Up Thorp:

Let’s a have a truly realistic storyline – a local travel team starts recruiting players, telling them not to waste time with the high school team. (I’ve seen that hit basketball, soccer, and softball…)

I like how the runner is sashaying to the plate. I think they’re celebrating their soon to be victory by doing the Madison Line Dance.

What is going on here? Sports in this strip? I thought this strip was only about teens telling each other they’re cool.

You like that huge puddle I left on the infield, right in front of Molly’s position? Maybe if I was too cool for school I’d have taken care of that before the game.

Gil held hostage – Day 54!

Too cool !
