Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 23, 2023

Nice tribute, but Berrill needs two Rs. Well done.

After 2 innings of play, 4 to 4. Quite the pitcher’s duel.

No one is hustling too much if their socks and bottoms of shoes are still perfectly clean.

Wind must be blowing out today.

Don’t disappoint your mothers? Too bad they’ve already disappointed their readers.

You tell ‘em, “coach Cami”

Looks like Dotty’s been bulking up. New linebacker on the football team?

But go ahead and disappoint your fathers! See you on the pole at Al’s House of Nudes tonight!

I see the girls didn’t get new uniforms like the boys did. Typical of Gil to favor the boys teams. And come on, Cami, wearing jeans to the big game? Have a little pride. And speaking of a little pride, I have a little pride in today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp. Not a lot, but at least a little.

P-1: From the position of her arm, we’re seeing the old Windmill pitch. Either that or she’s aiming over someone’s head.

P-2: It’s extremely hard to hit in baseball using the old ax swing technique.

P-3: Hustle this inning, next inning we do the Bump, then the Mash Potato, now tell me baby, do you like it like this?

At least Henry makes his deadlines..

P3- BAH HAW HAW HAW!!! It must be 1975 and “Do the Hustle” (Van McCoy) is playing over the loudspeaker. Wooderson and Randall “Pink” Floyd are firing up in the parking lot.

Batting cross-handed is a good recipe for getting struck out, every time . Or, perhaps, by some strange chance, is it yet another artistic error ? And, when are they going to fix that gaping hole in the fence?
