Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 28, 2024

“I’m growing a moustache!”

Keri, P2A: I feel I’m being drawn differently.

Why is the runner in lane 1 wearing a jock strap instead of shorts?

Cool. Another big fall track game.

My arm is longer than my leg!

Why do they always have these conversations right when the athletic even is going to start/has started? Is that the only time they see each other?

Autumn is for cross-country, not track & field.

I think I figured out the art issue. Rachel hates cute teenage girls and attractive teenage boys. I’m guessing it has something to do with her Prom.

If you search for tendernessIt isn’t hard to find

You can have the love you need to live

But if you look for truthfulnessYou might just as well be blind

It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely wordEveryone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heardAnd mostly what I need from you.

Keri P2.5: Most of the Snarkers are checking in but leaving seeing as there’s no football today.

In all reality, being honest is not something us Thop’s are known for.

Vito From Goshen’s tip is to bet on the girl who is smoking while waiting for the start. She knows this is a wrap.

i see keri and dots with her new collagen lips have m on there shirts that idenify them as milford so are the other girls random off the street who feel like running ?

P3: Can’t tell if those are power poles in the background or if this is the Golgotha Invitational.

warm up on green grass run on red dirt just like horses ?

What is Dubbs feeling is wrong with peanut? Wrong answers only.

P4 (Keri) “Nothing’s wrong Dotty, I’m just getting ready to hurrle like I always do.”

Are they doing the Steeplechase? That is the highest wall to get over that I’ve ever seen. Definitely higher than in the Olympics. This must be an away meet because I would never install a fence/wall cutting right across the track. And speaking of high, you’d have to be high to forget to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Is track and field in fall or spring?Typically, football and soccer are played during the fall season. Basketball, swimming and diving, and hockey are played during the winter. Meanwhile, track and field, baseball and lacrosse are played during the spring.

Why is Dubbs doing a shoulder stretch for the track game?

Wow, that forest fire burned everything to the ground. Was somebody playing with a flamethrower?

Just when you think the writing and art can’t get any worse, Henry and Rachel surprise us.

P 1.5 (Dort): “…I feel great Keri!…but of course, I ate and digested a well balanced meal earlier this afternoon (snicker)…”

The artwork is horrible. if they need to change artists at least they should get people who can do a better job.

i bet this artist could draw every background scene in the phantom then you say draw the phantom and he looks like shaggy from scooby doo

The new artist at least draws zits well as we see in P2.
