Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 18, 2025

So, Lurch left the Addams Family, grew his hair out, and took a job coaching high school wrestling?

Horse girl? With a face like hers??

The art here gets constant flack but I am seeing improvement. Merills art still has a bit to go but it feels less abstract.

Wrestling team has its own gym !!!?? Where is all this money coming from ??

P1- Nice of you to keep that fine mental edge 007, err Inma. Keri has an excuse.

I was wondering when we would circle back to this storyline.

I’m so confused: "STAY aggressive, BEFORE you go to the table? Automatic point????’

On this day in Gil Thorp history: 03/17/61 & 03/18/61

Rod rides the bench as the game moves into the minute. Score…Rockwood 61 – Milford 60

Thorp: Their pivot man is murdering us under the boards!

Rod Simmons: Please coach! Let me in there!

Rod Simmons: This is my last game for Milford…I’ve gotta shot at them!

Rockwood has possession…Milford calls time…A roar goes up as Rod enters the game…

Rod Simmons: Thanks, Coach

03/18/61

4th Period, Milford trails Rockwood 61 – 60 as Rod Simmons re-enters the game.Play resumes…Rockwood controls the ball as the seconds tick off…25-20-15-

He missed! Rod’s got it! Rod looks up and…

Rod: Fig’s all alone!

On this day in Gil Thorp history: 03/18/1986

3:07 into the 1st period

Moon: Ohhh…Curtis Wade is knocked down again!! That’s twice he’s been flattened by Burgess…He’s LETHAL!

Moon: But Young Wade continues to play him tight! Coach Thorp is howling for a foul, but he’s not getting the call!

Canton 18 – Milford 9…Time out Milford

Tod: The refs are letting Burgess get away with Murder, Gil!!

Thorp: I know…but hang in, Curtis…You’re getting to him!

And in non related news, Gil Thorp is still being ruined by an incompetent writer and artist

Poor Luke, he’s got that wrist affliction that Nonads had. Must be contagious.

Keri is making fun of someone? This should be out of character for her. Punching someone is another story, however.

P2- Luke, what you’re feeling in your bones is arthritis. Get used to it, old man.

May I just say, No Coach would ever tell his wrestler that the match was going to be close right before the event. You want your wrestler to have confidence and to be offensive not defensive.

I’ll give credit for one thing. The crowd size for a wrestling match is pretty accurate. And speaking of accurate, it’s a pretty accurate guess that you’ve been waiting to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
