Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 11, 2021

Gentlemen, start your engines.

P4 I had an MV-1, but the Dr. gave me a shot and it cleared up.

Oh an M V 1 is a Military Vehicle 1 first model usually an assault vehicle heavily armed, in all reality . Thanks Vic ,the recruiter who talked to me said he could promise me one if I joined for 4 years .

I have been magically transported back to the very first Gil Thorp story arc, where newly hired coach found sports dead at Milford. The guys (there were apparently no gal sports at the time) were more interested in their hot rods than playing football. Maybe this storyline will return us to sports at some point as well.

P1 Wah wuh wah wah whaaah

P3 Enough about cars, how’s my mustache looking today?

The artist hasn’t seen an actual GMC Safari van after 1994 apparently… :-P

Who the hell is driving that huge monstrosity all over The Bucket’s floors? You know, I have to clean those too! And speaking of driving, how about driving over to Mopped Up Thorp?

So I guess his disability is in his feet.

Something tells me Vic will have an increased role with the Mudlarks.

P1, Vic has hand-controlled X-Ray Specs.

P2, Don’t say that too loud, Vic, Marty might steal your van. Anything to ease into his many bad days.

P3, These guys only know about MP3’s.

Zzzzzzzzzz…..

Where’s the corrosion around the wheel wells? That vehicle must have been from Arizona.

Driving Doug’s Dad drives an MV1

Long term prediction – Vic’s van is a piece of crap, but can’t afford anything better. Team organizes a fundraiser and he’s able to get an MV-1. All thanks to his school spirit and attitude. And nickname ability.

In Wisconsin a MV-1 is merely the application for a vehicle title & registration.

MV-1 is a Mobility Ventures van built from the ground up as a mobility vehicle. It has no front passenger seat so the wheelchair jockey can roll into that spot rather than sitting in the back. IMO superior to a conversation van.
