Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 13, 2010

Thats not the Gil Thorp I remember from high school. Must be the pressure of a championship drought.

So now Steve will go back to school and become a teacher and help guide thousands of young people……..

Steve is starting to look a liberal juco prof with his maynard G. Krebs. All he needs is a degree from the internet, tweed jacket, pipe and a prius.

Steve is making progress in that he no longer pushes a “TRASH” container around anymore. Of bigger concern is the growth protruding from his left cheek. Looks to be some sort of antenna, maybe he is wearing a really bad wire and snooping for Marty Moon who hopes to bring down the Thorp’s after being jilted by Mimi nearly 40 years ago. Dr. Pearl

Looks like Gil hooked a deal with Adidas. He’s wearing them in panel three and Micah and Steve seem to be also in panel one. Also, Steve’s doing a great job polishing the floors. Both the hall in panel one and court in panel two are reflecting things.

I thought those were flames licking the bottom of Gil’s pants in Panel 3.

Ah! The ol’ “Geography lesson” line. Nothin’ like Russian hands and Roman fingers to teach l’il sis a few lessons in (ahem) geography. Pervert!

There appears to be some kind of eye disease epidemic striking ol’ Milford High. Yesterday Micah’s un-babe sister had fluids squirting from her eyes and today Micah and Gil both have it. Who’s next?

Could it be that Micah’s about ready to come out of the closet?

Good point. The thoughts of his encounter with Steve may have him flustered out there on the court.
