Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 10, 2020

P3: Ardis breaks the fourth wall and asks the readers a question.

Yes, we get that this is nuts.

P1, Hey, don’t talk about Gil like that!

P2, Coach donates old loofahs to the rec department. . .

P3, Damn, looks like The Mayor lopped off his thumb with his butterknife!

So did Milford used to use iron batting helmets or something? How does a batting helmet develop rust? Despite that weirdness, they still rated this strip 6/10? I beg to differ.

And speaking of differing, Mopped Up Thorp differs from this strip in that it earns its 6/10!

Do you get three wishes by rubbing it up?

In all reality ,anyone think that Gil wrote off the donated equipment as a charitable deduction on his tax returns despite him never purchasing it ?

P1- That is Dr. Pearl’s Kaiser Wilhelm sidecar motorcycle helmet circa 1917.

Knappe and Ardis as starting P and C. Around the infield its Washington, Horshak, Epstein and Barbarino. M. Howard, Fine and C. Howard left to right.

So, we’re going to have to get ready for about three weeks of “Longest Yard” jokes?

Gil donates cast-off stuff to the Milford rec department? Now we know what happened to Keri and Jamie.

Nothing worse than a dusty loofah

I saw Dusty Rhodes hit a HR while playing for the Phoenix Giants in the late fifties. I think he was going down, but he might have been coming up.

P 4: “…fire what up doofus?, …I never said that I was gonna’ play….you made the challenge…you go play ’em…”
