Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 01, 2023

If you like it, Gil, you better put a ring on it

She said, hard. UHHHH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUHUHUA HUHUH HUHUA.

Gil, Tays. BHHL and whoever else is participating have to be lifting based on pledges per lb. lifted. Vito has Coach Meat on the board as the favorite, Gil will look fabulous and Lukey will slipa disc cleaning and jerking. How appropriate.

Wow, this is so exciting! I’m all strapped in for a rest of the week Lift-a-thon narrative. I guess that qualifies as “a sports oriented comic strip.” Or in Henry’s case, an impossible to follow, James Joyce-like stream of consciousness rambling from one ridiculous story arc to the next.

I foresee Gil about to top BHHL in lifting and an ending like the Ivan Putsky vs. Jesse the Body arm wrestling match https://www.google.com/search?q=ivan+putsky+jesse+the+body+arm+wrestling&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS958US958&oq=ivan+putsky+jesse+the+body+arm+wrestling&aqs=chrome..69i57.9488j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b4741a1a,vid:cl7vOI0FRoA

There goes fourth place in the Valley Conference.

P2 is totally unnecessary. Leave it out and nothing changes.

P 1.5 (Mimi): “…nervous?…no…ridiculous?…yes..”

I thought this day would never come!

P-1.5: No, but you should, wearing that sweater with an undershirt.

P-2: Before someone beats me to the obvious: Now, we know where her other hand is.

P-3: Insert inappropriate joke here based on P-2 snark.

I think Gil might have a little trouble lifting after dropping a deuce in his pants (P1).

Shouldnt gil be wearing his wrestling uniform for this i know that creep luis is

THE LIFTATHON IS HERE! YES! YES! IS it a stupid stunt that’s weird to do for teenage boys? Yes, absolutely. Is it going to be fun when the other coach shows up to concoct some evil scheme? ENTIRELY.

P1- Gil was worried about crapping his pants but he’ll be fine wearing his Depends.

P2- “Right now? Here? Really?” (see Twainrdr above)

P3- “…..otherwise I wasted a whole week learning how to breathe.”

I will participate in a coffee-a-thon.

Notice Mimi calls him Muscle Man while looking at his head.

P1: “Gil, you’re supposed to put the potato in the FRONT of your pants!”

Yay, the giant hand! I don’t think we’ve seen one in a while, Whigham must have been going through withdrawal symptoms since it had been so long. And speaking of so long, before you say so long to the internet tonight, read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
