Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 22, 2021

Brito Bambino to play Shawon Dunston style? Throws from short to the dugout? Smash tags on takeout runners? At the plate, four K’s? Or two homers? All of the above?

Katy’s expression is certainly interesting in the very touchy-feely P.3. “Oh Coach… I never knew you… I never felt like… Zane just doesn’t… could we maybe… Yeah, Central! Let’s take it out on Central!”

“Applying for the same job?”…. You mean a volunteer position that meets with other volunteers like once a month, tops? That job?… geez… no wonder you’re so upset

Asking seriously (that’s kind of funny for this site) is there another slang meaning for cruising that I am unaware of? The only one I know of doesn’t fit this conversation.

I know they like to draw hands ; but the P2 drawing is terrible. Back to Art school. Plus would any girl athlete grow her nails that long???

Rubin is gonna drag this stupidness out for three more weeks and then just put them both on the “ library board”

@Irish53 – I need to get in touch with Vito from Goshen to put down a couple of large. I’m feeling good about a third party entering the race (Pedro? the waitress from the diner? the still MIA Mopman?) and snatching the coveted library board seat away from (In)Zane and the (Insuffer)Abel long lost Flying Burrito Brother.

P2- Katy has gnarly fingers like Butkus and Nitschke

P4- Break out The Rally Hippo and TCFS (Too Cool for Spankings) buttons. The girls play their 4th game before Memorial Day.

Panel #2-is Katy flashing some kind of gang sign?

P2. Katy wants to play Cats in the Cradle but she lost her string. P3. Katy’s face shows how creepy this “coaching” session feels.

And by “job” you mean unpaid board seat…

Let’s move this along. Her dad gets it. Shows up at the first meeting, says “I propose we cut funding for services!” Second? None… Moving on!

P 3: “…. My husband and Kaz gave me a great idea for what to do when stuff like this happens…. Let’s go to the girls showers and I’ll tell you about it…”

P3.5 and turn tricks together out on Central?

P4 Mimi’s left hand drops from the frame and lays a THWACK! On Katy’s cute little tushy, who could resist?

P1, Mimi seems to be turning Japanese.

P2, It’s Saturday and it’s the last chance for a big hand display so here goes.

P3, Mimi cops a feel, and is that what the kids are calling it these days, Mimi?

I am totally serious, but when I saw P1 my first thought was, “who is that?” It’s not Marjie, is it? Someone else at the newspaper? Not until P3 did I figure it was Mimi. First, it looks nothing like her. Second, we have never seen her in a luxury office like that. She must have gotten preferential treatment when they reconstructed the school after that unfortunate randomly-occurring-definitely-not-arson fire they had a while back.

And speaking of back, Mopped Up Thorp is back for your mock and/or amusement.

P3: Mimi is quite the motivational speaker…let’s take your anguish and make it work for me, OK? Soon she’ll be LIVIN’ IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
