Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 22, 2024

P4: The runner must be a robot since it has an electrical outlet on its back for recharging.

I’m trying to figure out what happened…the runner on second goes for third, but Keri would have to be on second base for the ball to take that angle, it seems to me. Correct me if I’m wrong.

However, bonus points for correctly using the term “mustard.”

P1 What’s wrong with this picture? A palatial press box at a high school softball field? Actual fans in the stands? Is this the mega crap shack that Moon built?

P2 Said no announcer, ever. Can you be a bit more specific in describing the action, Moon or whoever is calling the game?

P3 Said no announcer ever. Can you be s bit more specific in describing the action, Moon or whoever is calling the game?

P4 Said no announcer ever. Can you be s bit more specific in describing the action, Moon or whoever is calling the game? Madison went to the concession stand for hotdogs and greedy Keri Thorp snatched one and went wild with the condiments?

The dialogue today is as senseless and disoriented as the illustrations today. Henry and Whigs, you guys shouldn’t be getting impaired together when you work.

At least the colorist had Madison wearing the obligatory UNC blue and black uniforms, so on the balance, all is right in the GT dystopia.

In P2, does anyone else think the Milford shortstop is facing right field? Or is she the Arab girl facing Mecca, but who doesn’t want to kneel in the middle of a play? And doesn’t P3 work only it was a wild pitch or passed ball on the first base side. “They’re going for it” is horribly vague — and sounds like a football 4th and 1. BTW, what’s the score? Game tied or Milford up one? Yeesh.

Since when is there a baseline between second and third, and why does ball look like its coming from right field.

RW, are you listening ? Your artwork sucks. Worse than HB’s script-writing.Have you ever been to a baseball field ? There are no base-paths betwen second and third !!!!!

P4- The base runner appears to have easily beat the throw. From the RIGHT FIELDER. Whigs is sucking eggs today.

Maybe Whigster IS the AI

I would really like to see a better view of this field. So many questions.

To make it more challenging, they’re playing Madison on a Left Handed Field.

P-4: In order to smell nice, Dot yells: Hold the Onions.

P-2: No Fair, Super Girl is playing for Madison and flying to third base.

She must have not known to what “it” referred. It’s not like the pronouns in this strip make sense anymore.

maybe eliza will pinchhit and lead the mudlarks to victory

the lonely fan in panal one is singing nursey rhymes under her breath as loud as she can

meanwhile at the batting cage leo is letting tobe and rod smell his batting glove which has a familiar pretty scent

P5: “And boom goes the dynamite”

Stealing third is an insult to the catcher. The batter is now going to take the glove off and smack it across Keri’s face.

Just bad. Madison has a nice press box though.

Just questioning the position of the Third base player and the person sliding in, it appears that Kari made the throw from second base as the player is sliding in parrel to the thrown ball as the third base person is jumping in the air with the ball coming from the same position as the runner.

“Welcome everybody, to MC Escher Field for today’s game. Good luck trying to figure out the bases and the field in general.” And speaking of in general, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is pretty good, in general.
