Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 28, 2014

That third panel looks like Neal let little Billy from Family Circus draw Gil.

So injuries will derail Milford’s season. It’s not like Gil has a championship season in him anymore.

Steroids are made using chemistry.

…and quarterback is solid? Receivers? Why’d they lose all those summer league games?

In all reality, Gil says Booner if you don t see many holes on this team you need to open your eyes when we shower with the team !

Is this the earliest Gil and his team have ever been ready for the season? Usually we’re only half way through a boring country club story. Wow!! Is this reality of what????

Speaking of chemistry, I hear Valley Tech just landed a chemistry wiz for their academic decathlon team.

The Gil mug is steaming this morning. It’s going to be a fine day.

What kind of interview is that? Instead of asking questions he argues?

Yo! Chemistry teacher Walter White may have something to say about the mixing of chemistry and talent.

Gil has trouble respecting boundaries in Mopped Up Thorp.

Come on Gil, did you forget the old sport movie "The Nutty Professor and his Chemistry invention called Flubber?

Ut oh! do we have a Marty Moon storyline coming up this year?

Marty has been watching MNF highlights, and will now be doing his Howard Cosell impersonations this season. He will introduce a new four-syllable word every game. Pre-season, he is trying out “preposterous”

Gil looks like he’s about to sing a chorus of “I’m a Little Teapot.”

If you say “I always like the first day of school”, you might NOT be a kid! Uh, ha ha…? Yeah, that wasn’t funny, mea culpa.
