Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 19, 2023

NOW he thinks about calling.

He now has a number on the back of his jersey. Quick change artist?

I have NO IDEA what they are talking about in P1 and P2.

Hurricane force winds from the East.

What a long, strange trip it’s been.

I am serious, and don’t call me $#%&

P1: Pedro and BHL appear to be unphased by the encroaching smoke from ToBe’s latest vape sale.

P2: Pedro demonstrates how to throw a changeup. BHL is not impressed.

P3: Kwan thought bubble – “Hey, I signed up to be the breakout star of the strip this season, so how come I get the smallest panel?”

So, it’s Pedro getting the hook in favor of the Korean Nightmare (always hear that in my head in Darren McGavin’s voice, he looks like a Korean Nightmare). And what’s Coach Kim doing on the mound as well, can’t BHHL do it himself? Isn’t it usually just pointing to one arm while looking in the direction of the reliever? We know he speaks Korean even if he had to yell.

So, Kwan is on Valley Tech and is already playing a game in the U.S. 24 hours after being in South Korea and… Valley Tech changed their jerseys to match his former team?

P 3: Luke’s Korean isn’t as good as he thinks it is <…Go Kwan let’s!….show a refrigerator to fans the!…>

Oh for a Mary Worth “Two Weeks Later….”

Pedro Hernandez Martinez needs to have his mouth washed with soap. That strumpet Keri Thorp is a bad influence.

P-1: After 6 innings of No hit ball…

P-2: Pedro tells Dad what he thinks about not returning the rings to Keri.

P-3: At last, what a relief!

Tomorrow, Pedro quits the team to devote full time to Pool Cleaning?

Does the Valley Tech catcher know how to give signals to the pitcher in Korean?

9 pitches. 9 strikes. Game over.The nightmare puts everyone to sleep.

??

P 2 (Pedro): “… here!… kiss my balls…”

Seems like if he’s such a nightmare he should have started the game instead of coming on in relief.

What coach anywhere tells a player he’s “grounded”?

Henry, the proper term is “benched”.

P2- Pedro: You’re Petty. Luke: You’re grounded.

Pedro: Quit jamming’ meee!

What the literal h*ll is going on here? This gets worse and worse by the day. Is the Genius Henry Barajas too distracted with his DC comics work to put any time into writing Thorp so he just throws out whatever crap crosses his mind?

Valley Tech going with the light lavender uniforms. I think that’s a new one. And speaking of new ones, a new Mopped Up Thorp is now online.

What’s the correct sound effect when a UCL tears? We know it’s not HRAAAK.
