Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 18, 2021

“Squadron Leader Talley, Report”. Talley: “Squadron MHS All Present and Accounted For Ma’m.” Talley’s Heroes ready to roar, soar and explore.

In all reality ,isn’t Coach Thorp kind of young to have trouble remembering things ? Maybe we should get her some Prevagin that’s advertised all over TV for Christmas . Good idea that’s a thoughtful gift.

Hollis, Cressa, Landry – are those really names parents are giving daughters?

Isn’t selecting a team captain, or captain’s how it’s supposed to work Mimi?

“We lost a lot of our roster to graduation. And most of the rest just flunked out.”

I vote for Tessie the Tease to secure the captaincy. She appears to have leadership qualities I am familiar with. Don’t do as I do, do as I say.

Heather’s back with her trusty phone and Twitter account

“But coach! Voting for team captain is going to take time away from our discussion of fantasy football!”

Talley Ho!!!

P2 is kind of confusing from a perspective standpoint.

In p3, are they practicing the pregame handclasp?

P-2: K is saddened when the Volleyball Team can’t quite grip the idea here.

P-1: Mimi just can never quite get the Vulcan hand right.

P-3: R&W go dark as a Coven of Witches gather in the shadows

Panel#1-Mimi asks a question, indicating that she is unsure whether or not kids are supposed to graduate from HS.

Hey Captain Talley-man, Talley me banana!

Isn’t it amazing that all these years no two people ever have the same name? I’m sure they might have at one point but that is a lot of years to cover.

“Vote” for captain? Isn’t it the coach’s responsibility to name a captain based on their demonstrated leadership? Mimi should have learned that in Coaching 101 at State U. Oh, that’s right, she went to the Gil Thorp School of Coaching – show up now and then, feign interest and act surprised when you finish 2nd in the Valley. Never mind. (Shoutout to Emily Latilla)

Hey Mimi! What happens when every player gets exactly 1 vote each to be the team captain?

Heather quickly learns why Marjie was in such a hurry to retire when she has to listen to Mimi ramble on for 40 minutes without saying one thing worth quoting. And speaking of quoting, you’ll probably be quoting some of Mopped Up Thorp’s best lines later today.

P 1.5: “…. Isn’t it your job coach to prepare for that and not just blurt out one b******t excuse after another?…”

What the heck is on that girl’s jersey in P1? Is it a “Meh” emoji? Is that the new Milford logo, symbolizing the perpetual boringness in Mudlarkland?

Can’t remember last time I was in a gym that had windows (P1).But then Rubin and Whigham probably can’t remember the last time they were in a gym.
