Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 11, 2024

Last time I checked, when you’re starting at the 20, it’s 1st and 10.

Some really snarky comments on previous day. Green pants kicked off and green pants received. WTH ?

Football started at the 20 like how may years ago ?

If we can get the band off the field the Central defense will try to stop Leo and ToBe.

P1: Why the exclamation point? Don’t all games start 0-0? Identical question in P3 — what’s so exciting about a handoff? Have the two had exchange problems?

I don’t know as much about football as Henry but when you start, isn’t it first and 10 rather than second and one?

P3: “Who turned out the lights?”

Where’s Jami?

9/11/2001. Pause and remember.

The marching band refused to yield,

Do you recall what was revealed,

The day the comic strip died….

“On the immediate play after receiving the punt, Leo Atazhoon starts off second and one at the 20.”

P-4: Don’t worry, To be can’t fumble, before the game started they was in the bathroom stall thinking about Keri & a nice smell.

Coach Ocha caca ocha caa calls time out before the next play to inform her QB he should stand right behind the center, not off his left hip.

P-1: Nice plumes on the Marching Band hat’s. I haven’t seen that since the 60’s.

How much snark is it going to take for these guys to actually learn anything—anything at all—about the sports they are depicting?

who cares about the football im here for the band i hear inma is playing tuba

will they show that pretty smelling cheerleader or will it be censored

gil tells luke just call running plays to I get back the hotdog cart just got here and they have sauerkraut

Tomorrow it’s TOUCHDOWN MILFORD! Or will it be, FUMMMMMMBBBLLLLLEEEE!, and we’re in for a long season. And speaking of season, any season is Mopped Up Thorp season.

Henry and Rod put the ‘con’ in continuity.

Don’t know why everyone is trying to make sense about this strip anymore.

I just realized I missed yesterday’s strip. Shows how my interest has declined.

start from the 20…2nd down and 1. Maybe the “…” was a 9-yard run or pass

Sign Man, you may want to expand into doing jerseys. Can’t even read the name on the QB’s Jersey over the #1, I assume it is Milford.

Horn section smokin’ between songs as telltale smoke emanates from the horns.
