Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 20, 2016

P1, the kid shrunk…and P2, Kaz is HUGE!!! They’d better decide how tall everyone is and stick to it.

Big Ken Brown makes something happen: a high-four.

I’m trying to wrap my head around the concept of something that’s invisible having dimensions.

Looks like Gil is playing pocket billiards in p.3. And does Mimi only appear in the summer in the gratuitous lemonade pannel on the deck? Wonder what they’re getting the kids for Christmas….

Kaz is taking all the ‘roids he’s supposed to be passing out. He makes Gil look like he’s in junior high. I’m assuming AQuad will miss a practice/game shortly, with maybe some substance abuse issues. I hope he’s not Moon’s nephew or something.

Is that 2 scouts in the stands in P1. For practice? Oh, and Mop, call the exterminator. The ants are taking over.

P2, One pill makes you largerAnd one pill makes you small. And once again, Gil and Kaz aren’t on the same page. At least Gil’s keeping that sippy cup at the ready.

Well kids, only 6 more months of winter and basketball in Milford before we get our favorite 2nd baseman back for more laughs. Hang in there Thorpians!

If GilPa knows and/or retains anything, it’s the knowledge of invisibility. Encouraged? So was The Cowardly Lion.

Ants, Schmants. The gym floor is gleaming so much it’s like a mirror. Nice work, Mop Man.

Gil doesn’t even change to run basketball practice. What kind of message does that send if he’s sitting on the bleachers wearing khakis and a collared shirt?

P1 has many possibilities for MUT

P1: “Boatdrinks”

I just wish they’d settle on whether A-aron or Ken is the taller of the two.

@seismic 2: YES!!!

P-1: For you and I have a guardian angelOn high, with nothing to doBut to give to you and to give to meLove forever true P-2: I think Kaz is trying to see the reflection up Gils pants leg. P-3: We can win the conference if we use comic book super heroes…no wait this is about coaching sports; that’s it! This year we’ll use X men.

P-1: Question: has that dance come to Milford yet?

Kaz in P2: Yeah, when someone sits in the stall next to you, you just put your foot to the left like this and tap it.

Yeah, Gil wasn’t kidding about Aaaaron being the invisible man at times. After all, he was invisible all of last season! And don’t tell me he’s a freshman (since Gil obviously has experience with him) or he was on JV, because he wasn’t, otherwise Gil wouldn’t know about his tendencies. Also because I said so. And speaking of saying so, I’m saying that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online:

@MOP: at least, there’s plenty on his team. (reference: old one liner about a whorehouse and a $100 bill.)

Why are Jeff Dunham and Walter sitting in on a Milford basketball practice in panel two?
