Yeah, Gil.You should have told him to start drinking and getting into fights. Mimi’s idea is much better than whatever your bad advice was.

Discussion of bowling, boy scouts, square dancing and croquet by hideous scar-faced teens is about to be interrupted by A PRISON FIGHT. Woo-hoo!

Minor beef? Lame. Or is that just what’s for dinner? Looks like whatever they’re serving is getting washed down with yummy Sticks o’ Lard*.
Meanwhile, something that is apparently hilarious at practice, though the only funny thing I can make out is that Gil is in attendance. And that’s not ha-ha funny. At least now we know massive psychological problems can be easily swept under the rug by having your friends take you for some occasional croquet. Rockin’.
*Now 93% Nutboy free!
As delicious and satisfying as they are I’m sure they have found other uses for the lard.

If this was Oz, there’d be about three shankings and an incident of sodomy in panels 1 and 2.

Panel two: Wait a sec: Is Moe Howard in jail with Dumbkin’ brother? And Moe’s grown a soup bowl mullet?
If I was Dumbkin, I’d slug those guys just for suggesting that lame stuff.
Is that Jam Jar “Ghost” that Dumbkin (?) is carrying?
I predict a prison riot and Dummy Daley gets shanked.

“Did you tell him to start drinking and getting in fights?”
“Hell, no! Do you want him to put Kaz and me out a job?”

Is Danny Daley eating lunch with former Milford slugger and baseball team-quitter Adam Mundy? And who is the mysterious man in the glasses and mustache peering over his left shoulder?
Questions that should be answered but never will…

10-23-09 Panel 2: “Gil, your advice sucked…now pull my finger!” “Pull it, you steely-chinned bastard!”
Comment by Jack Mehoff — October 26, 2009 @ 10:33 am
the QB appears to have two left hands; dunkin has his right hand glove on backwards (another two lefts) and he has but 3 fingers…

Maybe 3781 is just angry because his older brother gave him some advice and failed to follow it. 7117 should suggest some square dancing and croquet. Then they could become good buddys and share a lard stick.

The guy in the glasses is the late Frank Zappa incognito.

Speaking of minor beef, hope ole’ Danny doesn’t get any major beef while in the showers! There won’t be enough trees for Duncan to clobber to make that ok!

They’re right, Glen Campo is scary.
Comment by Mac Thomason — October 26, 2009 @ 12:42 pm
Duncan is supposed to be this strong, hard-hitting defensive stalwart. So how come he’s so skinny? He looks more like an anorexic than a football player. Especially in 10/23 panel 3, compared to his Nordic playtime buddies.

10/26 Panel #3:
“I’m catching on, Coach – don’t tackle the quarterback….Make him my bitch, just like my brother in prison taught me!”
Comment by milfordian — October 26, 2009 @ 12:51 pm
They’re not in pads, so he looks thinner. I like the guy talking while putting spuds on his plate.
Comment by Rob — October 26, 2009 @ 4:18 pm
does gil think helping mimi with the laundry which looks like all towels . is the sign he can whip out his thorpanator later ???
Comment by mr 12 oz can — October 26, 2009 @ 5:55 pm
Rob #15 — yes, I realize they’re not in pads, but Duncan still looks like a shrimp compared to the other two.

I hear Duncan’s brother is a candidate for early release, and has some eligibility left. He could scare the other teams with how old and mean looking he is
Comment by Freehawk — October 28, 2009 @ 9:55 am
10/26 was totally lifted from Tom of Finland and repurposed for Gil Thorp.
Baldy McScarface is totally putting some prison moves on Tyne Daly there. That Glen Campo is one mean sonofagun. Why don’t you come by my cell later and I’ll tell you all about it over some merlot that I made in the toilet. Hey, you gonna eat those ‘taters?
Which leads us to some Gil-endorsed general football grabassery. (Gil not only endorses this, but I think he’s turning Japanese….I really think so)

Merlot! It’s shitty!
Comment by Don, the Rebel without a Blog — October 29, 2009 @ 12:04 pm
October 30, 2009. Panel 2. That, folks, is about as good as Gil Thorp gets.
Comment by billytheskink — October 30, 2009 @ 7:40 am
I agree billy. Milford is one freaky tank town. Kaz’s spirit fingers make me think he’s been wearing the pearl earrings too long.
