Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 14, 2024

P1A: That means I won’t get a beer all night.

The opposing team REALLY needs Sign Man to letter those jerseys.

please try to finish one arc, b4 jumping to next – this is not TV, its a daily 3 second read. by the time u finish the basketball game we will have had 50 wrestling matches. LOL

The jugular? How’s that new word a day program working out Marty?

P4 “Hey Moon, pull my finger.”

Ummmm…there’s no injury list in high school sports.

ATAZOON-HITE! GOOD NIGHT! What…we have another 31 minutes and 56 seconds left to play?

Psst! Marty! Nobody cares who scores first in a basketball game.

P3 – Ballhandler is wearing an illegal number (we’ve already discussed this).

That Gil executed a beautiful chess move, having Luke, Keri and not Inma dreams misdirected to the wrestling match as he and Tays can make the scene at Milford Emporium after this game.

VT is like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This blood from me jugular? ’Tis but a scratch. They intend on playing the rest of the game

Pedro Martinez is a contender for this year’s Cy Young award (1999).

P3- Pedro looks well pleased with himself on National Pi Day. The kid is a trailblazin’, eyebrow raisin’, pie eatin’, kiss steal in’, limousine ridin’, jet fly in’ son of a gun.

Jugular! First blood! Thunderdome basketball! In the end, the fans vote with their thumbs.

This is all so confusing. I’m going to move onto something simpler, like maybe James Joyce.

P 1: Marty meant to say ‘tip’, but is thinking ahead to after the game and blurted out his favorite place instead.

When he talks about Leo going for the jugular in P1, Marty is looking at the opening tap. It’s not until P2 that Leo has the ball. So Moon is now able to see into the future? That would be very useful if he can see more than one panel ahead. See, e.g., Biff in Back to the Future II.

P 3: “….and another unlikeable character, Pedro Martinez, unfortunately makes his return….”

Are the wrestlers still frozen in mid-suplex while we listen to the basketball play-by-play?

All this blood talk. Has Count Thorpula claimed a new minion?

I can’t wait for them to cut away from a potential game-ending buzzer beater with “let’s head over to the the outdoor hockey arena for the opening face off…”

whats harder to believe milford can broadcast two events at once or count crushinski gets 50 bucks for his autograph

maybe pedro is fashionably late because he just got a haircut ?

they were late to start the game because coach kim was washing dishes and coach doyle was getting a bodywax

Well if Leo went for the jugular, I guess that means the game’s already over? Since that means you’re putting the other team away. And based on the lack of hustle shown by #35, it appears VT doesn’t care about this game. And speaking of hustle, you need to hustle over to the Mopped Up Thorp site.

In all reality, does anyone have any ideas how Henry incorporates St Patrick’s Day into this strip ?

Notice from State Tournament. Wrestler seriously injured when inexperienced wrestler threw a Suplex on the wrestler and did not land by turning causing a serious neck injury . Marty will bring on the condition of this young girl after this important announcement from our sponsor

Pedro is…misdirecting!

So they interrupted and will be ‘right back’ to a 6-minute wrestling match to cut to the HS basketball game? Done by no TV or radio station ever.
