Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 14, 2023

“Let’s show them how we do it in Juvie. Have you got your shiv hid up your jersey?”

With the tough inmates from juvie, this will turn into The Longest Yard.

So who’s Rod going to hit in the nuts? The MLB or the official?

It looks like the halfback is about to heave. So am I.

Yeah, little known fact: the purpose of Juvenile Detention is to sharpen your passing skills.

High school football teams NORMALLY do not have names on the backs of jerseys. In P1, we have Cheeseburger Lewis. He has the shakes that make you quake, the fries that make you sigh, the sloppy joes that make you….regular.

This must be fantasy football. The halfback can’t throw a forward pass after a handoff. Somebody (not me ) buy HB a rules book for Christmas.

Looks like one happy football!!

P 1: “…yeah that we call our own plays since one coach is not paying attention and that the others are all fighting with each other…”"

P4 Luke runs out on the field to knock down the pass. Somewhere a camel suffers a broken back.

Hey, here’s an idea: if you can call up the “perfect throw” at will, why don’t you do that on every down?

So the coaches are having screaming matches over what play to call, and these dopes are making it up as they go?

Hey, look — the football is smiling in Panel 3!

I thought cami said they were going to the running game ?

i guess we will never know who plays defense for milford

jami asks mimi if he can go under the bleachers too to watch keri perform her special talents

P 4: Rod’s ‘perfect pass’ slips harmlessly out of his hand and bounces to the turf due to a poor grip from wearing his dad’s golf glove causing “coach Luke” to lose his mind, “coach Cami” to break into tears, and “coach Gil” to…to….to….ahhh….never mind …coach Gil didn’t notice.

At least we now know who is calling the plays. Tobe like I said yesterday.

Since Rod was introduced as a wide receiver, I guess he must have got the hand off on an end around????

I’m not sure why the coaches are arguing about strategy when the players are just doing whatever they want anyway. They must have seen Gil walk in and knew that no further coaching was going to occur. And speaking of coaching, I shouldn’t need to coach you to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Jersies, I have seen don’t have names on them because they are recycled to new players when a player graduates.
