Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 16, 2023

“Pedro penetrates the defense with ease.” Well, that explains why the IUD didn’t work.

don’t get it – yesterday it was 18-3 end of 1st to mudlarks. Now its pray for a miracle!!!!!

Is she talking to us? Why?

Why do they need us to pray for a miracle? Weren’t they winning just a day or two ago? Geez, even when you read it every day you feel like you missed a week.

Maybe if she opened her eyes she could see that they are still winning.

What the FWEET, Tays? A coach blowing a whistle during an actual game? Really? That wouldn’t be disruptive, would it?

Pedro is really good at easy (Keri) penetration.

Cami breaks the fourth wall and gives the snarkers the (big) finger, begging for prayers. Hope is not a plan, missy. Go and get back to your tic-tac-toe board, figure something out and earn your pizza coupons.

I created an account to say I have never seen a comic fall apart as badly as Gil Thorp. No continuity, poorly trying to tackle social issues, and worst of all, absolutely no sports (especially football) knowledge. Don’t comics have an editor?

I have been reading Thorp most of my life and I am here to say goodbye.

P4: “Prayers don’t work. We’re stick in this strip.”

P4: Enter Korean Nightmare dressed as the VT drum majorette and carrying a feather boa: “HellllllOOOOOooooo!”

Kwan: “Oh, no! The Korean Miracle has come out!”

P4: POOF [Jami rides in on a unicorn] “It’s MY strip now! It’s a miracle!”

Meemaw enters the stadium, proceeds to kick Pedro’s rear all around the field and back to the locker room. “That’s what you get for what you did to my granddaughter!” Without their star QB VT cannot move the ball, Milford wins! It’s a miracle, folks

FWEET! Unnecessary roughness, comment gallery. 15 yards, automatic prayers for miracle.

I left a long comment earlier that seems to be gone. Not retyping it, so in summation: reading since the 70’s, terrible sports knowledge, no continuity, last day reading this dumpster fire.

.. and now I see my previous comment.

Pedro gets into Keri’s pants with ease too

P1: Looks like Coach is using the same hair dye as Rudy Guliani.

No coach is going to blow a whistle in game. Worthy of a penalty. The Travis Henry poster looks great in Pedro’s bedroom.

Pedro has no protection…he penetrates…I think I see a meta trend here.

They’re just sideburns Pedro, Not to Kaz.

P3: if the Milford assistant coach can stop play with a whistle, why not have stopped the play in P2 for illegal procedure?

P-4: Milford wins! Coach Kim is out coached by Cami. He has no answer for Miracles.

tays is bored with the game maybe hes calling a dog with the whistle

panal two they look like there in a three legged race

one day coach kim will learn to put his makeup on like alice cooper

nice of you to finally shave that mustache off cami

Pedro is pulling a Paul Crew here. His line won’t block for him so he’s just running the ball himself every time. Mean Machine! Mean Machine! Too bad about the twisted ankle in P2 though.

Can’t tell if Pedro is carrying the ball or playing hot potato in P2.

P1- "It’s just a game” said no coach of any sport ever.

P2- Is Keri playing defense for Milford?

P3- While Tays takes the ref’s whistle and stops this play, Gil sneaks off and takes over control of the game clock. There will be no VT miracle today!

Cami asked for them, and they delivered. A rocking halftime performance by The Miracles, playing their biggest hits. “Tears of a Clown” (dedicated to Luke), “Shop Around” (for a new coach), “The Tracks of My Tears” (the other coaches when Gil wins COTY again)…

And speaking of rocking, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is also rocking: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.Com/2023/11/16/cutting-through-the-defense/
