Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 22, 2024

Posted this late the other day. Sorry for the repost. Thanks to [Unnamed Reader – 563f4c] and Gil-doh! for their information about Max Schmeling and Melitta Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg. I’ve learned a lot about the history of Gil Thorp and a lot of other stuff to. The gang here is very witty and have a lot of funny stuff to say. The laughter “YOU ALL BRING” almost outshines the sadness in this pitiful world. On another note: Latest Rebellious 17 recount is up to 37 members. Peace…. P.S. HRRRAAKKK!!!!!

Inma stole the “M” off Speed Racer’s helmet.

Still a one possession match. Don’t get cocky Inma.

P1 Inma demonstrates her neutralization and immobilization skills and techniques she is developing to prepare for a career in law enforcement as her opponent complains that she can’t breathe.

P2 Inma imagination, Inma is showing off now using only her feet as she exclaims, “look mami, no hands!”

P3 Rimshots all around!

Anyone else thinking that Inma’s dad is going to be totally aghast at what his daughter’s being a wrestler? Not to mention how Gil groping her is going to go over. And if dad’s a villian, who else is expecting a beard on him?

Future physical therapist. “OUCH!”

Um, if the ref should be doing anything, it’s calling an illegal hold on Inma. At least that was illegal when I wrestled in school. Admittedly, that was long enough ago that we were in caves lit with torches.

P1: Ms. Spock should be able to put Inma out with her Vulcan death grip.

P 1 (Inma): “…nope!… you ain’t goin anywhere b****!…you’re stuck in this story with the rest of us…”

P2- Alien probes 11:00 high. Those beaver tranquilizers Luke keeps giving Inma are making the stache thicker. She needs a Bell & Howell grooming tool.

P2: Inma’s showing quite a lot of wrist in this scene… but her parents are okay with it. One for the Gilbot-9000.

Habibty, Hobibty, Hoo. Mrs. Rimshot auditions for the part of this strip’s Fairy Godmother. We’re all waiting to see if she can turn this strip into an interesting high school sports strip again.

P-1: Leggo my Eggo!

P-2: With the Alien ships hovering, the Martian declares victory over the Earth girl.

P-3: Did Henry just use the term “Mami”?

My name is Inma Rimsha, queen of queens; look on my holds, ye Milford, and despair!

Wow, Inma must be headed to States if she is racking up points that quickly. I hope the match ended between P2 and P3, otherwise she’s probably getting penalized for wandering into the stands. And speaking of wandering, Mopped Up Thorp often does some wandering, but it eventually gets to the point.

win or lose your still cleaning the clay oven habibity

mam wonders if gil will buy her a old fashion

habibity must pin this girl fast she smells like she had a burrito before the match not pretty like dorothy

Okay Harry, rules update for Wrestling:1: She has the arm bar past the 90 degree angle which is illegal.2. 3 points is only awarded to a wrestler when they have the opponents back (Back Points) toward the Mat. The Wrestler in order to pin the other wrestler must get both shoulders down on the mat simultaneously. If not, and the bottom wrestler is able to stop being put with both (their, she, he, whatever) shoulders the wrestler who is in control is awarded 3 points.There are no other 3 point situations.In this case, the wrestler is flat on the mat and their are no Back Points.

What’s happened to Coach Curlytop anf his bash artists (and why does that sound like the name of a band)?

P1- Is that Marty doing the play-by-play?

P2- Inma is winning despite her severed fingers from that shop class accident last semester.

P3- < Everyone knows Arabic, right? >

Ref should blow the whistle as her supporting part (foot) is in P2 and therefore off the mat

Also, throwing your arms in the air after a Match is a sign of poor Sportsmanship. Coach would have me running laps for doing this to an opponent. You shake hands and say Good Match.

OK, I had to Google it because everyone else seems to know this;

“Habibti” is derived from the Arabic word “habib” (حبيب), which means “beloved” or “dear.” The suffix “-ti” is added to indicate affection or possession. The word “habibti” is primarily used to address females in an affectionate and endearing manner.

Saw this yesterday, and I wondered: What am I missing, here? There’s 43 seconds left in the first period, and Inma is ahead, 7-0? Why is she celebrating as though she’s already won?! Did she get a Major or Superior Decision? What is she doing in the stands already? How is she allowed to crouch on her opponent’s back while applying an extremely obvious hammerlock?! Clue me in….
