Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 01, 2021

Looks like the caption for P3 really ought to be “Grrrrr! Gorog MAIM puny players!”

P3 thought bubble: “there goes my drinking money, Gil Thorp must die!”

In all reality , is this The Choke or will there be a greater Choke to come,inquiring minds want to know !

Is it too late to get a bet down on a double choke and what are the odds? I’ll put a C-note on it. Choke #1, Tevin – check (as Mopman breathes a loud sigh of relief), choke #2, after a Kettering TD, Tevin scoots the ‘Larks into field goal range to tie the game to go to overtime and the Milford placekicker pushes it wide left as time expires

Bet that Marty Moon will suffer a debilitating stroke resulting from his bitter rage, anger and vile over GilPa’s continuing coaching incompetence to complete this weeks game trifecta

Fumble! I told you so. Granted that was three or four weeks ago but I told you so.

Relax. Even a 66-yarder leaves ’em a point shy.

P2, this Kettering LB is quite a hitter. Not only did he cause a fumble on this play, but apparently at some point he knocked the “P” part of the emblem on his helmet clean off.

P1 Tevin’s “deer in the headlights” look in hearing the “coach” instruct the offense to take care of the ball while moving on the ground is too much pressure to bear

P2 Tevin goes pale as he realizes he f’ed up after Marty Moon told T before the game started that he had big money on Milford and warned him not to f it up, or else, worse, T realized he will be subject it incessant rafts of s**t from Guts Spiller about his proclivity for choking

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a Kettering TD.

Coaches Held Hostage: Mimi, Day 45.

P1- Reckless, illogical and crude. Now that’s Milford.

Choking already??? I thought Tevin would save blowing the game until the playdowns !!!!

Let’s get ready to Fumble!!!!

Maybe Boyd choked when he missed that block???

Tweet this, Heather

P 2.5 (Gil’s voice): “…I said ‘safe and smart’ Tevin….not the opposite of that…”

Try to keep the enthusiasm out of your voice in making the call…

Well, Heather. I guess you know why I’m sticking with the Delaware Wing T instead of that futuristic Spread stuff.

A quick 6 for the K-boys begins Milford’s quest for second in the Valley!

Sorry Gil. No second place finish for you again this year.

More Batman sound effects too

Just Tevin doing his Daniel Jones impersonation

I think the tackler was Rip Haywire. Ka-bonk!

Gosh darn you Snarkers! The Ma & Pa Kettles are NOT in The Valley Conference! The Fightin’ GilPas are in play for that coveted 2nd place ribbon. I’m so mad I wanna slap the Johnnie Walker outta Moonpie’s mouth.

Save us, Steve Lehto from yesterday’s strip!

The action from the last couple of days is still better than the strips that only show the inane banter of Spiller and Kiana

See, Tevin? If you had just played Madden 22 with the other guys, then you would have learned how to hold onto the football better!

YES! I’m gonna break even, I’m gonna break even! And no busted kneecaps!

To be fair, I wouldn’t call Tevin fumbling while getting hit a choke. Fumbling the snap, or throwing a horrible interception would be more like it. But, if it gets me out of debt, I’ll take it.

And speaking of taking it, you’re going to take today’s Mopped Up Thorp, and you’re going to like it!
