Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 17, 2023

“Yes, you can be Frank, and I’ll be Roberto. Let’s call Cami Hortense, and Dr. Perl will be Madame LaVoom. Now what do we do next?”

With a capital “T” and it rhymes with “P”.

So Tays wants to be called Frank? And who is Luke Worth?

Gil takes a sabbatical from coaching to deal with his crumbling marriage. Martinez is named his replacement. Chaos ensues.I see where you’re going, Barajas.

P2- The Legend of Sam Finn hurls forward. Gil stubbornly believes amazing sloppy joes are a training table staple in state of the art nutrition.

“Yes, but I’m not sure you are, Frank.”

Sure you can be Frank. And I’ll be Shirley.

P1 – Ooh, a good old fashioned gladiator style fight to the death!

P2 – Somebody better keep an eye on BHHL. I don’t like the looks of whatever he’s doing to that kid.

And speaking of looks, it looks like today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

Is that Big Hand Luke in P2 demonstrating his legendary and award winning cow milking technique?

P 4 (Gil): “…. Now it’s my turn to be Frank…. When have I ever cared about what the parents think (giggle)?…so don’t worry about it skippy…”

Finally, another strip that makes sense. I think that makes three now in the past thirteen months.

Woo hoo! Milford, GT is finally (kind of sort of) synching with reality! The Milford, OH Eagles kick off week one of the season tomorrow. The lights are on again on Friday nights in Ohio!

is luke gonna milk that kid in the second panel wheres his bucket

“You missed another blocking assignment—drop down and give me 25 girl pushups!”

they were gonna show jami thorp with pop this strip but then they remembered pops just dust

P1- The 1919 White Sox try football.

P2- “…..and this is how you do it doggy style.”

P3- “We’re out of vacuum bags……again!”

P2: Those sloppy joes were served… two or three years ago. Why are the players they still eating them?

“Luke, I checked the manual. That’s not how you execute the Heimlich maneuver.”

Not sure if Luke is teaching the kid something about football or if he’s practicing on the kid on how to use a tire jack.

Is Luke inserting his first Loofa?
