Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 16, 2024

Seems a little quick, no?

The L word? You mean Loss?

lots of chatting going on…where’s the pitch clock when you need it?

P4 “Oh, I was thinking, “L” as in laid.”

“Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. We are learning Welsh together.”

Dubbs would make a fine, pretty smelling squaw. This budding relationship is a newer version of John Redcorn and Nancy Gribble.

Le Labo, silly.

Tobias has never heard “that L word” himself, so he wouldn’t know.

The friends of Dorothy discuss the L word. Am I watching Queer as Folk?

“I bought her a lollipop from the concession stand on the way out.”

“What is ‘a statement no teenage boy would ever make’, Alex.”

It’s abundantly clear this team needs an attitude adjustment. Their heads are obviously not in the game. The next L word will be for loss.

Losers! Everyone of ’em!

So what happened with the broken down bus arc? Since this is a fairy tale, I guess it sprouted wings and Gilpa piloted it to the game.

Played and coached Sports for many years! Alex, I will take for $1,000 Things that never happened in the on deck circle and I hope it is also the Daily Double !

L is for lookalike. ToBe and Leo are competing in the annual Milford Rez HooDad Jim Thorpe Lookalike Contest.

I was thinking Lust.

Lilac, lavender, she smells so pretty!

Tobias shows his inner girl and wants to chat about his teammate’s love life in the middle of a friggin’ game.

did leo sneak some firewater into the dugout ? he sounds kinda goofy

his love for dorothy is so great hes already building a totem pole of her

cheif wildeagle said we could use his teepee when i give her her first indian rub burn and cappy will film it

Waiting for the prom arc.

Dottie sez “if peanut can find love, then anyone can”

L. As in Letsgetdaheckoutofthisstrip

Is that a wooden bat? And who taped it, it’s taped into the hitting zone! And speaking of zone, it’s time to enter the Mopped Up Thorp zone.

Gonna be hard for Tobe to get a hit with that pinto league bat

Given THIS strip, I can see how he might have assumed something else.
