Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 17, 2020

P1 & P2: The guys strain their brains with a variant of the old “Who’s on first?” routine that their grandpappys showed them.

P3: Both players rehearse their parts in their school productions of “Swan Lake”.

P2.5 — Milford pass rushers Chase Sanborn.

P2 Is this guy really that slow, definitely a Prop 48 prospect!!! He probably still believes in Santa Claus.

The M and M boys in P3. Getting ready to be the window boys when they graduate.

P1, Well, to be clear, so far Marty is the only one who called it Air Jimmy and you know what condition he’s always in.

P2, This idiot reminds me of Jeff Goff of the Rams on “Hard Knocks” who when asked in what direction the sun rises, had no answer, wouldn’t even venture a guess. I wonder if he had a higher Wonderlic score than Jeff George.

P3, Leonard Fleming has no problem swatting away the Nerf football.

P1,P2 : Since there are no Mensa members at Milford, they call themselves Densa.

Did GilPa Call the Madison offense Air Jimmy in the scouting report or is there a transistor radio disguised as a football on the Mudlark sideline? These dunderheads are listening to Marty’s broadcast?

Leonard Fleming is a secondary standout thanks to a redshirt. The kid plays all three major sports and was a Letterman 2 seasons ago when Tiki “The Torch” Jansen transferred in.

Any strip WITH sports action and WITHOUT Corina is a good one

I appreciate them answering my question yesterday in P2 today. Now that’s listening to your readers!

In all reality , P3 nice art work but how about a score update from Marty and some commentary from him . Thanking you in advance !

P2.5: “Do you think that Coach will call for the Milford Steamer play?”

“Saving that for the playoffs. After last time, we don’t want to tip our hand too early.”

I thought maybe Garoppolo graduated from there.

Air Jimmy? Another reference I totally don’t understand.

P1 – “It’s just a spread offense.” Just? Just? When Milford has basically no offense? They run the ball 99% of the time.

P2 – Didn’t we have this “dumb as an ox” character already when we had Dory?

P3 – Help me out. Apparently the receiver is running towards the quarterback? What kind of route is this? Unless he’s trying to make a no-look over the shoulder Willie Mays type catch. And if they are running towards the quarterback, that’s the worst pass ever. How is the ball rotating like that? Did he shot put it to him?

P1 again – Since when has Milford used blue towels for football games? Plus they’re like bath towel size! Where did those come from? And speaking of towels, you may need a towel to dry off your monitor after the spit take you make from reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp. Or if not a spit take, just a spit in disgust.

Err Jimmy’s three and out. Buddy Ryan would have disapproved of this gameplan anyway.

What kind of emblem does Madison have on their helmets? Is that a butt? I think it’s a message to us snarkers from the artist, “Kiss my ass!”

P 4: “… air Jimmy, my a$$… I got your air Jimmy right here…”

James Madison? Seems more like Dolly Madison…a bunch of cupcakes.

Jimmy jump high!!

P3: The two players accidentally touch hands and start to Waltz. Kaz waits wistfully and forlornly in his towel in the locker room. Marty Moon has too much and recreates Peter Finch’s monologue from “Network”. Coach finally has a brain aneurysm and starts bleeding from his ears. Pedro misses a spot rubbing suntan lotion as Mimi sunbathes in the buff. Another outbreak of food poisoning closes the Bucket for the lunchtime rush, but it’s back serving before dinner, serving leftover lunches at 99% off and requiring a waiver to be signed.

Another swell Football Day In Milford!
