Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 15, 2023

So “how we do it in Juvie” is to shot-put the football?

A maybe 15–20-yard gain is the perfect pass?? No one rushed the thrower they were so fooled. Doesn’t even look like it’s going to be a TD. So, they are still losing?

Okay usually I’m the one defending Barajas and I can respect him trying something artsy but this simply didn’t work

David Letterman Time Fillers has turned into Gil Thorp Panel Fillers.

Fist Pump Man finally gets his close up. The man Richard Kimble was searching for is next to him.

There’s an arc on that pass to ToBe but no rainbow? Whigham better watch out, he might get canceled. Just sayin’.

Definitely some of Hank’s best work. Sports in all panels and Fist Pump Family cheering their a$$ off from the nose bleed seats. Simplicity.

6-man football ???

I have to say, I wanted to bring the snark, but this is actually what I read the strip for. More, please.

So it’s a running back pass. Big deal. Nebraska did that against Northwestern in the 2000 Alamo Bowl when they were already leading by about 50 points.

I like it.

It sports. No Jami. No Keri. No Mimi /Ericka. No HeeHaw (is she even still alive?). No Kwan. Thumbs up all around.

why are they cheering theres no way to tell if he held onto the ball

In all reality , I hope the receiver recovers from being struck by lightning!

P3- Is that EHS or EBS?

The true trick was making the ball disappear for a few seconds between panels 2 & 3!

The MST3K gang must be seated closer to the end zone.

That;s a strong case of Exploding Football Syndrome in P3. I wonder if the reception will count,

According to the panels it is a 20 yard pass, not a bomb, and the receiver is being tackled by the defender, so unless he breaks the tackle he is down on the Opponents 40. So they are still down and have not scored

“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.” P3: “Now that’s what I’m talking about!”

Best day ever! I’m glad I got to share it with my brother, Double Fistpump Man.

My only comment is that whoever painted those hashmarks must have been drunk, based on how they look in P2. Oh man, actually that might have been me. Oh well, speaking of might have been, today’s Mopped Up Thorp might have been good, if I could have come up with a decent idea.

ToBe’s going to Jason Pierre-Paul after the play…
