Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 12, 2024

Howdy Doody, Coach Doyle.

P3: If this is his happy face, I’d hate to see him when they lose.

Wait… that’s it? After all these minor details like a ToBe pop-up, we end it after “Valley Tech leads?” Did Grumpire call it off to catch a flight or something?

I guess Milford didn’t answer back.

Well I called it. Valley Tech wins. Great game snarkers.

To the golf course? Or …?

P1 (Coach Doody): “Shake hands with failure, Coach Thorp.”

P4 “He ghosted me (sniff, sniff), Coach Kim.”

P4: Who? Oh, right. He still hates me.

P4- Meanwhile, Coach Perm with freshly painted nails, leads his weekly crocheting circle.

Only baseball coaches above LL in America that don’t wear uniforms.

Whigs was a little miserly with the hand drawings today, medium small in P1, a stump and clam digger in P2 and a medium in P3.

P1: Coach Doyle should have answered “What me worry”.

P 1: “…Nice game…..Opie….”

P 4 (Kim): “…he showed Thorp’s $lutty daughter a thing or two,,,giggle….”

Meanwhile in the announcers booth, Marty has fainted from all this HS baseball excitement

P4: Doody rides her bike home before the streetlights come on. “Gee willikers, we really beat Milford! Wait ’til I tell the fellas!”

what does coach doyle coach the grounds crew ?

it all started with one hand on his shoulder then he moved in for the kiss

Poor Coach Kim. The face. The monstrous hand. The hand is the size of a dishpan. Dishpan hands!

We didn’t even see the last out..

Buzzkill

Wouldn’t the losing head coach (Gil) congratulate the winning head coach (Kim)? Maybe Gil doesn’t know Korean.

Valley Tech needs a team name. Similar to Georgia Tech they could be the Train Wreck from Valley Tech.

“This Welcoming Failure Moment is brought to you by Smith Barney Investments. They perform on Mimi’s and Ericka’s joint portfolio and turn it into a cool million the old-fashioned way. They uhhhhh-n it.”

you know gil wanted to tell coach doyle good job handing out snacks and juice boxes

coach kim does luke smell that bad or did you just drink a bottle of vinegar to make that face

jun jun never goes to a game she must be having a affair with uncle roger or a sumo wrestler

P1- (Doody): “Good Game! Now who are you, again?”

That’s quite a grip Doody has.

P1 – Coach Doyle appears to have an earring. Female coaching a boys’ baseball team?

Stay Tuned for the Milford Jai Lai team story

I’m bummed about not seeing Milford’s failures in the final innings. But I’m sure they welcomed it. And congratulations in getting the strip back to its roots, where second place is the best they can do. And speaking of that, the best you can do it to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
