Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 04, 2016

Is the “no thanks” to the coffee proposal or getting carried out of the gym?Mop, looks like your idea of Kenzie carrying Max wasn’t that far-fetched.

Looks like Max has the towel Kaz never did get. Poor Kaz must be on sabbatical.

Give him a lifesaver candy.

What is Max holding to his head in P1?

Obviously Maxwell forgot that it’s Downtown Kenny Brown that makes it all happen.

Could Menzie be pregnant in P2? And who is that wearing the giant clown shoes just next to her head?

I’ve got a pretty good idea what Menzie has in mind to do with that finger as she carries Maxwell out in P3.

Did anyone notice Kaz sitting between Ric Flair and Urcle at UM’s Signing Day of The Stars yesterday?

P1: Number 1 is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do. There’s a history lesson. Baconator is 2nd banana to Downtown Ken Brown like Dinny Perez (also a #1) was to BB Stuff, Bobby Ottewill. Afterall, who won Darby and lil’ Jaxon’s hearts? Get ready to take the Downtown Train Manley Hanley.

This might be going a little soap opera, but I’m thinking Ken(zie) is a long lost love child that Kaz sired with a female wrestler from the pro circuit when the world was caught up in the Y2K frenzy and we all thought civilization as we knew it was coming to an end. Ken(zie) has been denied her father’s love and her rightful place in society, and now s(he)‘s back to take vengeance on her missing father and all he loves (Milford athletics and Gil) by messing up the boy’s basketball season, stomping on a few broken hearts (Maxwell and Leisel), choking some peacocks, and ultimately tanking the gir’s basketball season by shooting some really bad free throws. Or, we might just be following another wandering storyline with no point to it.

So many Kaz references today. I’d better update the count: Coaches Held Hostage: Day 103 for Kaz.

Wonder if R&W have Kaz on double secret probation?Dr. Pearl

That person in the background in P2 stepped in something and is tracking it all over the clean gym floors.

One could simply write off P3 as a cute “pick up” line, were it not such a realistic possibility

First: See I told you he was showing off because somebody was watching.Second: Kenzie, I know it’s the 50’s, er 80’s (they have PCs) in Milford, but even then no meant no not know (biblicaly). I’m having a Twin Peaks flashback. “Let’s get a cup of Joe and a piece of pie”.

P-1: Max realizes he’s in a R&W comic strip.P-2: Player with Flubber on shoes walks over Kenzie without her noticing.P-3: Dominatrix finger reappears as Max is threatened with possible “slave” scenario.

Given their sizes, I think Kenzie is Jaxon’s real mom.

Pick him up and put him over your shoulder? Heck, go ahead and bench press him!

I just read the color version and for some reason the comments there jarred something I had forgotten about. There was a girl in my high school who was a grade behind me. She 6’3" and probably weighed 250 + lbs. She was bigger than most of our linemen. Her initials were ‘R A R’ so we called her RAR. She was crazy and you (males) did not want to get trapped by her in an empty hallway or room. Her father was one of the police officers in our small town. And no lie…….(this was 1970-73 era)…. she drove a pink 1958 Edsel! How Kenzie had not made me remember this before now I have no idea.

Nothing like a refreshing cup of coffee when you’re hot and sweaty from a basketball game.

What? Max didn’t even get seriously hurt? That stinks. Well at least we got to see an exciting game that went down to the wire…oh wait, we didn’t. Hey HooDad, maybe we need a Ken Brown Held Hostage count too. He hasn’t made a damn thing happen all season. And speaking of making things happen, the best thing you can make happen is to make Mopped Up Thorp appear on your screen right now.
