Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 28, 2023

I’m impressed with coach Lee. He needs to be written in to a different school and team up with Kaz. Laugh if you wish. I’m tried of reading about wrong ball scores. Yesterday proved this strip is really off coarse. Celebrity coaching and cameos isn’t what this strip needs. It needs to be about sports. Somebody stated they were about to quit reading, I feel the same way. Best to all.

Is that the Asian coach in P1?!? Come on!

Looks like Tobe is about ToBe the goat….goat in lower case, as in Charlie Brown….he started off as the hero, now he’s the goat.

P4: “T” Time.

P1 See wise coach work and adjust.

P2 See wise coaches team trust and execute.

P3 See outworked coach whine and blame the ref when her team doesn’t execute.

Hahaha ….”You’re killin me smalls”….T her a$$ up, and throw in a “… one more word outta you and you’re done, sugar britches…”

So VT’s strategy (according to the writer) is to play defense like statues, take 25 charges, and foul out Milford’s entire starting five?Hmmm…just crazy enough to work (in the new Gil Thorp).

P1- Gil and Lukey are characters. They could learn something from Coach Kim.

P2- What? Not enough room to squeeze in a Batman worthy OOOFF?

P3- Tuck yer shirttail in yer pantsuit busher, or I’m gonna run ya.

Whoa, what happened? How did that ‘Men in Black’ alien on the shoulder of the guy in P1 get here? Maybe that’s what the strange lights in P2 of yesterday’s strip were.

This is one confusing game, no wonder Milford is faltering. They’re playing about a team with black and white uniforms, one with teal and black, and one with black and gold. Doesn’t seem fair.

“The defender has him in his sights, boom boom, out goes Tobias!” And speaking of sights, you should be going to the Mopped Up Thorp sight (site):

P 1.5 (Kim): “… they’ve been lucky all season… they really aren’t that good…their coach is asleep half the game, every game…. Let’s put our foot on their necks and not take it off, once and for all…”

Milford doesn’t have to worry about being down at the end of the 2nd quarter, there will be a different 2nd quarter score tomorrow….

is he suggesting the milford players are so stupid they dont know how to stop?Iguess gil is at the concession stand or getting emmet tays sloppy seconds

Don’t worry snarker’s. It’s only the end of the 2nd quarter. Wait til Half time!

That one day of conditioning for the Apache Offense must not be working (surprise!). Depending on which score you use (it changes daily) Milford went from scoring 18 (or 16) in the first quarter to only 9 (or 11) in the second quarter. Will halftime give them enough of a rest to come out running in the third quarter? Will any third quarter lead be enough to last since they may tire in the fourth quarter? The suspense!

Basketball is the most pointless sport. They should just spot each team 100 points, and put 2 minutes on the clock. It always comes down to a 3-point buzzer beater. They either make it or they don’t.

No comment about the ref doing the sprinkler??

I’m surprised Tobe fell for this strategy since he was in their huddle in P1

P1- Luke has nothing to say? Really?

P2- ToBe takes a knee to the crotch but he’s fine……absolutely fine.

P3- The ref shows off her ‘Primetime’ celebration dance as she struts off the court at halftime.

Hey HooDad. Is Bitsy held hostage? She fills up the snark board with responses. Could she be in GT jail or did she walk?

Meanwhile

Back at Glenwood Cruise Across Mud’s Mountain

Wilma is concerned that Mr. Murphy will not play the Oldies But Goodies. Sorta like Ricky Nelson playing “Garden Party” instead of “Hello, Mary Lou”. Yeah, if memories are all I sing, I’d rather drive the Hostess truck. And eat the contents within.

Fred is not sure if ol’ Mud can be properly identified as the latter is going on stage. C’mon, Fred, like Bozo the Clown is 545 pounds and devours the Cruise’s Poseidon Adventure-sized Hot Fudge Sundae?? Like that’s Bob Dylan after he failed his South Park diet?? Not too many quarter-of-a-ton performers wearing a beard and playing “Them Muddy Boots” are in the building that I’m aware of. Maybe Boxcar Willie after he got a little chunky and resorting to K-Tel covers but not holding my breath here.

P 4 (Cami): “… c ‘mon ref… he barely hit that kid… I’ve seen better acting in mystery science theater movies…”

It looks like Tobe ran into the other player without the ball. Hand position does not indicate that he/she they/them had the BB.
