Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 11, 2023

Everybody on the team gets new shoes! Unfortunately, they lose the next game because the shoes are all the wrong size. But doesn’t Leo look sharp with his heels hanging out of those snazzy size 5A Jammers!

Next Week: “The Sneakers Game”

Well there goes the lift-a-thon money…

I’ve heard of many an NCAA coach making the team wear certain brands of sportswear to line HIS pocket with endorsement money…

Yes, the Bucks will win this year. But enough about the NCAA’s March Madness TV contract.

Cobbler this Leo. New gymmers for the entire team? And you super soph keeps his self esteem? That’s nothing to sneeze at.

P1: Gil must have bought himself a new whistle with his Lift-a-Thon earnings. This one is tuned to the key of “FVEET” instead of “FWEET” like his old one.

P-1. Completely unnecessary. Take it away and nothing changes. As useless as using ‘THAT’ in the first sentence. Remove it and read the sentence. HB really has no grasp of English grammar.

“Jammers”…. the favorite brand of Bugs Bunny

Way to go out on a limb there, Leo. “I KNOW the Bucks will win. End of story. Unless Donovan Mitchell takes the Cavs all the way. Or Golden State gets hot again. Or Tatum leads the Celtics to the title. Or Durant takes Phoenix all the way. Or…”

And speaking of covering all your bases, you can cover all your humor bases by reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

What the hell’s a humor base?

AHA, Tomorow’s Headline: Gil Thorp accused of Grooming/ Buys Sleep Wear for Entire Team.

Monday (Pearl): “… so, where’s the money from your ‘ lift-a- thon’ Gil?…”

What did gil sell pictures of mimi with the golf coach to get all that sneaker cash .

Sneaky. No singling out the poor kid. Until he sells his shoes to buy dinner for his family.

So, the rest of the team has to stop wearing their $300 Air Jordans to wear lasts years Jammers?

In news from a successful Milford basketball program, the Milford (MI) Mavericks knocked off Walled Lake Central 42-37 to capture the District Title. No reported shoe explosions occurred during the game. They move on to play the normally formidable Rochester Adams Highlanders on Monday in the Regional Semifinal. Milford seems to be the favorite, but it’s tough to gauge as they’ve payed no common opponent.

P3- “So we decided to reward all of you with new loofahs.”

P1: Accurate assessment with Milwaukee Bucks basketball, but I haven’t heard anyone taking Cleveland seriously as a contender this year.

It’s a small thing, but I don’t recall Gil ever saying “you all” or dropping his G’s like that. Just one more example of the current author not understanding the characters.

Surprised that cheap Gil didn’t opt for the fire sale Yeezys!

My eyes would explode too if a box of sneakers talked to me

The seventh edition of Milford After Dark features Gil in a hairy situation of his own.

Really? the use of a whistle in the locker room to get the player’s attention? what happened to speaking to the team; shouldn’t there be a minimal level of respect to listen when someone is talking?
