Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 25, 2023

I hope he doesn’t ask Gil for marital advice.

Coaching High School sports is a harsh mistress.

!$#& this.

i still see a blonde cheerleader in Luke’s future.

Trying to remember early days of the strip… Was it coach Tabor who was hard-nose assistant coach to Gil’s understanding head coach? Do we have a coach Tabor on steroids here?

P 4 (Gil): “… ok, but don’t forget…we welcome failure around here…”

P4- Gil: Pedro is settling in nicely at quarterback. You’re along for the ride so chill out little man.

I applaud BHHLHM. He’s not satisfied with another fifth year under the fifth place banner they keep in the gym.

“So, Luke, wanna wet my whistle?”

“…let’s win some #$%^&'ing gold, Gil #$%^*’ing Thorp!…”

So, this storyline is: The Treasure of Señores Mia Madre! “Benches?! We don’t need no stinking benches!”

BHHL completes the transition from part-time wrestling coach to Dark Kaz, Gilpa’s recalcitrant assistant in every sport. I wonder if he teaches Geography too.

Well, this Friday filler panel does nothing to advance the story…… not that this should surprise anyone.

BHHL auditioning for the role of the new Uncle Sam. “I want you! To read this strip!” And speaking of wanting you to read this strip, I want you to read Mopped Up Thorp as well.

P1 “Almost, just a couple more things.”

P2 “First, woul you take the pressure gauge and check the air in my tires, Gil? The ride to work was bumpy, almost like I hit something, or someone, in the road.”

P3 “Second, pull my finger, Gil and I will start sh!tting !$#& second in the valley gold.”

P3- Henry stole that line from Rod Blagojevich.

Let’s win some XXX Gold , Thorp ! !!Sorry Coach , in all reality , I don’t gamble !

Hmmmmmmm, God and Lucifer about to engage in battle together. This could get interesting.

I’d still feel safer with Patton should Rommel enter the stadium.
