Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 12, 2021

Let’s see what this baby can do. Eat my dust Goshen.

P1 Snark on! Marty Moon fires the first salvo of the day, in a semi-lucid state, complete with his best leering jackal look, the only thing missing is the drool running down his chin as he anticipates pouncing on GilPa’s disinterested coaching

P3.5 Whoa T, just get one first down to start with, and hold on to the d**n ball, choker

Can anybody figure out what’s going on in P2? The defender appears to be wearing fencing for pants (D-||||?), while playing patty-cake or some dainty handsy game with the Goshen receiver as the inevitable blob of doom descends upon the field right before the alien invasion begins in P3, all this while Marty stepped away during a break to release his first quarter Hoo’s back into the wild and refilling his sippy cup in time for second quarter action

P4: On 2, Ready, Break! Rest of team: um, what do WE do?

P3: Goshen using the alien Domino ship to spy on Milford’s huddle. That outdoes even Bill Belichik.

P 1: Marty is pleased that Gil’s top not-so-secret Delaware wing-T is struggling

Some advance notice of this game would have been appreciated. I heard Vito doesn’t take anything in- game.

No idea what Tevin means. He’s going to run the ball himself for the next eight plays, if that’s what it takes?

P3- All this huddle talk about picking up first downs and putting it into gear has the probing alien starship’s attention.

P-3: Police reading this strip discover Milford’s plan to “pick up 2 (valuable) first downs” and then use a hot rod to escape. The GPD are waiting and so is the Juvenile Judge. Delinquency will not be tolerated in Goshen.

P-3: With his opening sentence, is T calling his team mates “stupid”?

In all reality Marty exclaims " Fans if you’re running low on gas also stop in at Spud’s Super Station for all your automobile needs and also featuring ice cold beer to go along with half pints and now featuring affordable Saturday Night Specials. So stop in and support a Milford Athletic Supporter.

That’s right, Tevin. You pick up the next two first downs. Why use the running back who’s drowning in Division I offers?

I thought the Delaware wing T was a grind it out offense?? Definitely not high octane

This team scored 50 a few weeks ago, so I’m expecting that gear to be overdrive. Gil thinks they’ll have to build a bigger statue if he wins another title. Second in the Valley! FU!

Man, Marty is DELIRIOUS with delight, since Milford is stinking up the joint. He may also be sloshed, as usual. And speaking of usual, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online, in the usual place.

I’m sorry, but haven’t they been running the ball all game? And now just magically Tevin is going to romp for two first downs in a row? Despite the fact that he must have ran it at least a few times by now. Apparently Chance had something else on his mind besides Goshen, despite his declaration last strip.
