Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 15, 2024

This is definitely not the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. strip that I had a dream about…

Well Marti, you can Kiss Your College And Possible Pro Career Goodbye.

Who’s there? Mr Reality, lodged under the wheels and body of your car.

That’s one sure way to increase your playing time, Martin – in the Milford Juvenile Penal League.

Fistpump family member gone bad.

Time to use the transfer portal, Martin; I hear playing for the legendary Gil Thorp is a stepping stone to the pros.

Martin? On MLK Day? Talk about the “drumbeat for justice” in P3.

Okay the current arc (I’d normally say story arc, but it doesn’t seem to apply here) is:

A: Keri’s love life.

B: Gil’s love life

C: Hockey

D: Girl’s wrestling

E: Equal opportunities for Muslim girl’s in sports

F: Basketball

G: The jokers in today’s strip – however they are.

H: Luke’s redemption into something resembling a human being.

I: All the above.

J: None of the above and will be revealed later

Have I missed anything?

Doesn’t Bill Clinton get secret service protection anymore?

P1- EPS. Exploding Perm Syndrome. Coach Curls may be losing a player, but Valley Modified is gaining an enforcer.

It’s very smart to assault an adult authority figure who knows who you are.

Lucky punch. Sid’s gonna take him out with a powerbomb now.

Worst knock knock joke ever! And too bad about Martin. He used to be pretty popular, had a TV show and everything. Now, this? And speaking of this, this is the point where I tell you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

Great strip today!

RIPPED (off) from the headlines. This just happened within the last few weeks.

Bad News: You’re off the team. Good News: We’re starting a Boxing program, so your GPA should go up.

plus give me your wallet too coach

i bet howard who replaced martin didnt even score

coach is thinking the one day i forget to wear my body armor i get attacked

So: Guy we saw once (three days ago) gets beaten up by other guy we saw once (three days ago). Got it.

Tomorrow: Back to hockey, or Gil hunting milfs, or something…

For all we know this might be Milford’s pro team, The guys look 30.

“The time for talk is over, Coach!”

Time for a Spidey cameo.

There’s a lot of characters in this strip that I’d rather see this happen to than this unnamed coach.

P3- UGH? Where is the gratuitous OOFFF!

P-4: So, you did pay attention in practice. I wouldn’t have benched you if you’d shown more of that in the game.

I finally understand something. This is called assault and battery. It is a crime.

P 4: If your wife does this to you when you leave the toilet seat up, you’re a plugger

Looks like Reno Harwood’s getting a couple of starters for his juvie hall b-ball team!

Kaz happens to drive by and drops the cuffs on Draymond.

Maybe he never got his check from the Flint MI Tropics for sinking that shot from the opposite free throw line. >
