Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 08, 2019

Are teenage couples allowed to ‘convene’ in public these days?

I’m not even gonna’ say what that thing laying on his upper back in panel three looks like it is. (but that must have been a vulture that did it!)

P1, You think you’re worn out, we’ve got at least 3 more months to wait before we get to Milford CC.

P2, Looks like Walter stole her milkshake, too.

P3, So is this the Burke from Omaha or Charleston, SC?

In all reality , Linda uses what she learned in Home Ec to shut out David, Not tonight I’m worn out .

Of course Jay Bhatia shut down the Burke Bulldogs. No one can hit his famous hamburger slider!

Is the pony tailed Jay Bhatia a Senior? He was mentioned a couple of times last baseball season. Is that burger rated 3 stars on the outfield wall?

The Burke fans are very unsportsmanlike. Firing burgers at Jay’s rear while he pitches!

So Gil traveled to Virginia to play a travel team of middle schoolers. Well that’s one way to boost your record.

Theme song for today’s strip is from Blazing Saddles: I’m so tired

I had no idea Bhatia was starting against a weak Burke team. Where’s the coach to go over the starting lineup with us beforehand?

When did the Bucket add a swimming pool?

Burke? Last year Tate’s Creek? All new schools! The Valley must be expanding rapidly from the new tech hub….the new Hoo bottling plant, the personalized coffee mug factory and the Kohler shower head test lab have really brought in the best and brightest to the region…

Should make for some catchy headlines:

BHATIA BEATS BURKE BULLDOGS

BASEBALL BOYS BENEFIT FROM BATTING BARRAGE

BUCKET BURGERS NO LONGER BLEMISHED WITH BACTERIAL BLIGHT

Anyone have any ideas what that thing is in the background of p2?

P2: “…what were you saying? and are you gonna’ eat that?…”
