Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 05, 2020

If she figures it out, then she’ll be ahead of Gil. Experience beats mansplaining.

Who includes last names in casual introductions? It’s like Rubin is actually trying to annoy me.

She will be catching more than one of True’s sliders before this is over!!!!

Haven’t heard anybody much less a teenager say “Charmed” in greeting in decades.

Gil: Mmmm, sliders, maybe that new chef Mimi hired, Pedro, can grill me up some when I get back.

Where did Corina get all of the catcher’s gear? She had to borrow a mitt from Hiawatha for the game. Most catchers do not own their own equipment in high school let alone those from a school that doesn’t even have a regular team!

In all reality , does Gil have mime facial makeup on and if so doesn’t he know mimes don’t speak. Inquiring minds want to know .

This catcher has a problem with authority right? So what does Tru(e) throw when the middle finger is the only sign?

P 3: in other words, Gil, stfu and stay out of the way

The way she dismisses Gil is actually pretty funny….I’m beginning to actually like her character

P1- I can see why True fancies the Russian fembot. She has that gritty personality. Like a bar of Lava soap. Baby Boo.

So just STFU Coach, ok?

P1, Who I just formally met for the first time myself.

P2, And if you think you’re going to brush my chest, buster, you better think again!

P3, Suddenly, Gil meets his new tight end but with his years of coaching wisdom he decides to make her the kicker because she’s a . . . Catcher!

P 3.5 Why would he throw a little hamburger at me?

“Charmed” is Corina’s way of casting one of those spells that got her sent to Valley Modified. The rest of the summer’s strips will be devoted to Gil’s being knocked unconscious by his students’ poorly hit golf balls. Even the putts.

Hi I’m Corina, home of the warm personality.

It would be hilarious if she did the opposite of Tru(e) and after having hung around Milford all summer decides to attend Valley Tech.

CK is the most Boo-like character to come along since Boo. Stupid name, great athlete, snarky personality, hanging out with True. Better stay away from the Swifty mart.

In panel 1 she should have glanced at Gil as she smart-assedly said “charmed” just before the baseball smashes into her face. This would make panels 2 and 3 unnecessary, and tomorrow would start a new (and hopefully interesting) story.

On the one hand, I am starting to like Corina Karenna. On the other hand, it would be hilarious if the first slider bounces off her dome.

I bet ‘real’ Wake fans just love how in the color version Tru(e)’s WFU shirt is sort of a cross between Carolina Blue and the darker blue that Duke wears.

Gil looking rather emaciated in P1. Tru(e) needs to take him on his buffet circuit. And speaking of buffets, you can gorge yourself on Mopped Up Thorp if you like. There’s a long history of strips to peruse!

Someone asked the other day if she had a cup. Being a girthy girl, she must be familiar with the WC slider.

P3- WTH is on her hand? It looks like a toy from WHAMMO! And True rehabs with a velcro laced ball that does neat tricks. Get a game up in the neighborhood. Amaze your friends! Available at fine department stores.

So are her parents fans of Dylan or Whoopi? Go!
