Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 26, 2020

P1 Will Marty Moon at least tell us who won the game? Looks like a new net is in order for next season. Does anybody actually sweat in perfect symmetry?P3 I would bet the Alexa knows where Mercy is and the trivia question for the day is-how far is Goshen from Milford?

P1, Nice zits there, Alexa!

P2, Chris seems to suspect what we all already thought about Alexa and Phoebe.

P3, Alexa’s complexion suddenly clears up as she realizes her longtime dream of going to the prom with the smartest guy in the room is dashed.

Stop pointing!

P1- Could be the first melting face of the year as Chris Schuring goes anti Vulcan with his greeting. A Milford mind probe is in order. Your thoughts are my thoughts. Our minds are one. All hail the soapy loofah.

In all reality , OK girls basketball over boys soon to follow who will be making their final comic appearances, Teddy ,Phoebe , Alexa ,Chris ,anyone else ?

Does anyone want to organize and end of the storyline party?

She already has a Bestie!!

P 4: “…if you know what I mean…giggle…”

Chris has hired a girl in Goshen to “hit it off” with Alexa. If his rival gets involved in a long-distance romance and spends a lot of time going back and forth to Goshen, there will be no need for that “co-valedictorians” nonsense!

Ran across this and thought it and the various links it includes might be of interest here. Can’t imagine why.

P1 – Why did Phoebe bring her bath towel from home? The thing is huge (teams do not have towels that huge in any sport), and it is lime green. And the girls continue the time-honored Milford tradition of running around throwing your arms in the air 10 minutes after the game ended. Even better, this game basically meant nothing.

P2 – He’s so sincere looking and perfect. How could anyone ever be mad at him? Alexa and Teddy are monsters.

P3 – She is stunned. STUNNED! Are we supposed to now believe that she wanted to date him, after hating him since elementary school? Or is she stunned because she assumed he was gay? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

And speaking of things being wrong, there’s nothing wrong with today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.

Had me at, “Meet My Girlfriend”.

Okay, here we go! The Villains Tournament is all set to start. I’m going to give 2 days of voting for each round. For the first round, we’ll do one region at a time since each region has 8 games. I named the regions after Thorp’s disappearing family. The 4th one I didn’t have a person, so I used his actual coaching as something that is missing. Unless anyone has something better to use.

Here is the page with all of the tournament info: https://gttourney2.wordpress.com/

Some interesting matchups. Maybe the two that will attract the biggest TV audience are Coach Drool vs. Mrs. Lark and Holly Dobbs vs. Herk the Mauler.

I hope after all this a lot of people participate!

I think you two with hit it off. Her name is Apple Acer.

P3: Why would anyone point their finger at someone while inviting them to a party? Rubham sure has something about getting giant hands in every strip….very weird.

Methinks Alexa was developing a crush on Teddy only to have it dashed in the last panel.

P1- He must be talking to us.

P1: BJ Thomas sings “Raindrops keep fallin’ off my head.”

Aw, Chris just wanted to be friends with her—so sweet, and realistic…

What’s with the dreamy eyes in P2? Or is this plot putting him to sleep like everyone else?
