Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 21, 2024

Gimme Gimme Gimme dat Ting.

Did Oakwood bring in their designated Eephus pitcher, or did the game switch to slow-pitch for the 2024 season?

Even that TING! smells pretty

Another day off for Henry.

Keri is giving us lots of head today.

I disagree. Sounds like tang.

Same ting, different day.

So much for the drag bunt suicide squeeze. A more forceful PING! line drive stands a better chance of making it out of the infield than a weak TING! Triple play, thanks for playing. HRRAACCKK!

Ground ball to the second baseperson. Today, Henry’s just ceding plenty of room for word balloons for Grumpire’s musings. And by musings, I mean insults. It’s just as well.

I don’t think our author had Marty say how many are out. Kinda an important detail.

P4: TANG WALLA WALLA BING BANG!

Did all-world Rod secretly defect to the Oakwood girls’ softball team? Sure bears a striking resemblance to their pitcher.

Is this suppose to make sense? TING!!!???. Why waste our time with a nothing strip.

The way the bat is hitting the ball, looks like an easy ground out.

Ting 6-4-3 DP. Final 0-3.

Ting not good Tang better

From the angle of contact that’s going to be a weak chopper that won’t make it out of the infield.

Well it’s no home run since she only TINGed it. If she had TANGed it then it probably would go a long way. Based on the TING I’m expecting a lame slow roller, and unless the pitcher picks it up and chucks it into right field, game over. And speaking of over, you should be heading over to Mopped Up Thorp right about now.

She TINGs, therefore she am.

P-1: It doesn’t matter if I pitch good. It only matters that I look good, and I look marvelous!

P-2: Kerry finds the only place in the park without a hole in the fence.

P-3: A hit is the Ting!

She needs a better Batting Coach. She’s holding the bat like an Oar.

mickey mouse ears going for the complete game

keri thinking a glory hole might not be that bad

jackie and marty on cigarette break

Ting tang whap!Ting tang whap!Dotty you’re a rich girl, Make a bat noiseIn the batter’s box, Gonna be a junior leaguer someday!You got perfume on your face,It’s no disgraceGiving up runs all over the place, singing’ We will, we will, ground out!We will, we will, ground out!

Who holds the bat like that?? You would break your wrist.

Is that supposed to be a diamond stud in her nose in panel 2 or just a booger that no one has told her about ?? If it’s a nose ring I think it’s a bit too high

Ting, batter! batter!

Teacher on summer break so I’m not reading. Thank you.

Why is a dude pitching in the girl’s softball games?
