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

Milford draws a technical for illegal use of mascot.

So VT is wearing yellow with black trim now? Can we just go back to a black and white strip it’s less embarrassing to follow this train wreck.

April Fools. Us I mean.

I’d ask why the Milford cheerleaders are in Valley Tech colors, except that would indicate I believed the colorist should have a clue. Don’t look for anything to make sense and you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful artwork in P3. The Bird’s mouth leads you right to the middle of the frame. Meanwhile, is Steve Foxe related to Monica Czinano?

Valley Tech/Vilfox (panel 3) changed uniforms 3 time during this game. Whay’s up with that?

What the Hraaak is going on here? Just like the Red Wings coach said the other night

I wondered why Milford’s mascot is a peacock and not a mudlark, only to discover that there isn’t any such bird. (Per Wiki: “A mudlark is someone who scavenges in river mud for items of value, a term used especially to describe those who scavenged this way in London during the late 18th and 19th centuries.”)

P1- Is Steve Foxe’s dad the guy with the used car lot? Surely

P2- Sobriety has reversed Mary’s aging. Maybe he has a shot at Peaches.

P3- I needed a good laugh. But no one is going to allow that bird in a gym to crap all over the place.

Henry jumps the peacock once again. BTW, I wonder how the vape sales are going.

and a Happy April Fools to you, Henry.

Rather impressive mascot costume for a high school team.

P 1: Does Milford suit up girls now? (Tobe don’t count)

Non stop action. What makes it their best shot of the game? Long 3?, Dunk?, Lay up? Pull up 2?Marty paints a picture with his words.

Once again that Hrraaak! is a tip of the hat by Henry to the commenters. Some of you may not like him but he appears to like us.

They should have stuck with the coloring directive: “Milford red/ black, every other team Carolina blue/ black”

Did this ponytail guy just walk off the street and they gave him the ball ? I guess we will never see a swingset on the moon

What about Keri on the Valley Tech bench? Just another loose thread?

Hrraaak! It’s been awhile.

Never thought I’d see (or hear!) that peacock again after ll the fuss it caused last time. On the other hand, it is April 1.

Henri earns a Sherlock for Hendrix’s Fox..E..Lay Up.

Yay, good to see that Fistpump Man made the game. And he’s giving it his all today! And speaking of all, all you have to do to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp is to go right here:

This strip is terrible. Yesterday was the Trans Day of Visibility and Toby has been invisible since Thursday!

P3: When did “Milford” start with a U?

P3: When is number 7 getting in the game?!?

Who remembers jay bird?
