Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 17, 2022

{{BONK}} {gasp} {flop} {convulse}

This story line is wak.

Uniform switches, 3B changed to 38, and Gil still clueless.Just another day in Milford, waiting for a lucky peacock.

So NT is wearing red now? And Gil is wearing their uniform? It’s all fun and games until somebody with no eyes loses, or something like that

I pray this is not a Herb Score moment. Gregg deserves a break, not a break.

You know what I hate Greg ? No Coach I don’t . In all reality , it’s players who lie to me about their injuries , is your leg bothering you ? Well now that you ask ,yeah sure it is. After the game have Doc work on it. Okay Coach ,thanks .

P2.5 “Ummm…who are you mister and why are you talking to me?”

Uh, is Stevvvve Lehtoooo uniform number 38? Or is he playing position 38? If Milford has at least 38 players on the field it must be pretty crowded. And Gregggg had a late start? Late start for what? Was he supposed to go for a ball that made it all the way to the bag and the person playing 38 still had plenty of time to throw out the Milford(?) runner? I won’t even mention that yesterday showed the ball near second base. I also won’t mention the infuriating uniform switching that happened once again.

“Kind of a late start” and with those words, Gilpa sums up the entire absurdity of this story arc as he looks in the mirror and self-assesses his motivation and effort

What is 38? Seriously, I’m completely confused.

If Steve Lehto wears 38, does this make him Special? Who is Milford’s Fantasy Girl? Molly Kinsella? Angie Sanchez? Cindy Canty? Snark Nation react to me.

“Sorry, coach, I can barely see. Apparently, neither can you.”

Wap! Wak! Biff! Ooof! Pow! It’s 1966 and ABC debuts a new show and vocabulary. Or another 3 panel day at Milford Masterpiece Theatre, still a Quinn Martin Production.

Did R&W pay Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for their copywrite usage in P1? I would hate to see Rocco and Moose come pay them a visit.

Oh, and who is that old guy in P2? A new character?

P2: To confuse everyone, Gil is wearing his GQ red velour smoking jacket. And that is the best hair in the Valley.

Rocket you say? Maurice Richard, comment ca va?

Yesterday the pitcher and 2B were wearing red, today the 1B is light blue and the runner is in red. I think the ‘38’ is just to distract us from the teams changing clothes during the play.

At this point we have no idea if Milford or New Thayer is batting in p3, do we?

Haha…Gil is funny when he decides to do some coaching

The real question is which team is batting in P 3?

Tomorrow, MOP & Bitsy are seen eating the picnic lunch Greggg’s Dad packed. Mop is wearing a hat, tie, & a Bear suit.

P2- Sorry, I was still changing my uniform.

Greg makes a lucky bare-handed catch

aw, STOP all your bitching and just read the dang comic. You all are just a bunch of armchair writers/artist that don’t know how to just enjoy the comic for it own sake. Gotta trash it for everyone else. Grow the HELL up!

There were shadows on the field when the play started. See P3 yesterday. I think I figured out what’s going on: It’s one of those games where you have to identify the 12 differences between two pictures of the same scene. So we’ve got at least three of them: no shadows on the field, first base not flush with the foul line, the color of the uniforms changing, and the uniform number of the third baseman changing.

Well obviously this isn’t a home game, because there’s no way in hell I’d chalk the baselines as horribly as that! It’s a foot off the bag! So, I’m guessing tomorrow we see Gregggg get clobbered by that line drive, even though it’s a Milford batter. I’m assuming the uniform swap we saw in P1 is still in effect. Can’t wait to see Scooooter’s next plan after Gregggg nearly dies. And speaking of dying, I know you’re dying to read today’s episode of Mopped Up Thorp.

And another thing about yesterday’s artwork. So that WAS a grounder to third, since the third baseman made the play. In addition to their being no chalkline, if that’s third base, the ball is WAY foul.

Maybe getting wakked (or possibly wapped) on the head will restore Gregggg’s vision!
