Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 12, 2024

Huh?

P2: Looks like Gil and Tays are reading a menu at the local gentleman’s club.

P1: Green guy with the takedown, but they’re kicked by a giant

It will be enough to go bag another drink.

No points in nearly 3 quarters of play, then a single first down makes it seem they’ve done their homework?

Nobody says there’s “only” 5 minutes left in the third quarter of a football game. That’s a ton of game left. To help Henry, that would be like saying “there are only 35 minutes left in this soccer game.” That’s relatively early second half.

Gil and Tays agree it’s time to release the hounds and run the Thorp Special. I’m anxious to find out what this great play is.

with another quarter yet to play, Marty is sweating the score, now, in the 3rd? How far behind are the Mudlarks?

Homework over the summer? Homework, my a$$. When they weren’t trying to stuff three people into a golf cart, sort of like a clown car, Gil was doing his homework in Beth’s bedroom or the back seat of her car.

Oh, no! Only 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter? Whatever will we do? Wait, you say there’s one more quarter to go? Whew. Dodged that bullet.

P-1: Green Player- “Talkin’ bout my girl”.

P-2: "No, Gil it’s pronounced Huckleberry Finn.

P-3: “Bag a Win”, what are we doing? Riding to the Hounds? And speaking of Bags of Wind…

twinkletoes oscar capps will hit a game winning fieldgoal dont worry marty youll be home in time to play solertaire

P1.5: Bill Goldberg Junior follows up his spear with a jackhammer. Tobias is down for the 1-2-3.

Do I have to add my own sound effects today? WHAM, OOF, HRAAK, etc.

I don’t know. It looks like they’re doing their homework now, at the last minute. And speaking of minutes, you just need a minute to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Gil is really getting old. Everyone is in short sleeves in this warm weather but Gil needs to wear a jacket.

P 1 looks to me like 3 different teams are on the field. {based on socks} New interesting rule change for 2024.

No strip today, and it’s already 6:24 am Eastern? But wait, it IS Friday the 13th.

Is this the way the strip will end? Not with a bang but a whimper.

FYI Per the posted strip Milford wins 7-0 on an interception, somehow 10 Milford players in the scene with the imposing Quarterback so with no covered receivers I do not know how they got an interception. Well this is Henry’s world!
