Penta-post-alooza!

Gil tries a new tactic for his pre-game speech:  using a random word generator. It works as well as his normal speeches do…which is to say, not at all. On the plus side, with an “M”  on all the players’ helmets, Gil is still convinced his team won.

11/24/10

Gil tries a new tactic for his post-game speech: Showing up and saying something to the players, instead of hiding under the bleachers until everyone just leaves in shame.

But come Monday…The team is still distracted, mostly by that trick #7 does: Dislocating his spine while haphazardly flinging the ball in the air.

11/25/10

Gil tries a new post-practice tactic: Hustling somewhere like he cares. I suppose when your dealer is MIA and your stash is getting low, you gotta postpone your daily stagger to the local pub.

He receives good news(?) for his efforts: Cody isn’t at the Morgan household! After enjoying a steaming cup of Mrs. Morgan’s famous liquid Sloppy Joes, and the subsequent excessive voiding of his bowels, I’m sure Gill will be hustling off to the Lutheran Social Services to see if he can score a dime bag.

11/26/10

Gil goes back to his same old problem-solving tactic that always works: Letting other people solve the students’ problems, while he goes home to have a beer and bone his wife. Hey, why mess with a perfect formula?

Friday night and the team is off to do battle in zero gravity. Now they just need to watch out for the flying potato chips (“Careful, they’re ruffled!”)

11/27/10

Marty’s imbibed so much from his winter warmer flask (well it is halfway through the first inning…), that his sentence structure is even worse than normal. Luckily for the town, his mike stopped working three years ago.

Meanwhile, Jam-jar is so clueless that he didn’t notice his team slip an extra $40 to Goshen to plow him under repeatedly. He better watch out…if he keeps up that bitching, he could end up as an Arkansas Senator.

  2. I’m not sure those are cups of sloppy joes in 11/25-3. They look more like SODA brand soda with a chunk of dry ice. The “coffee” in this strip has been freakin’ me out a lot lately to begin with.

  3. Why is it that Gil always has to be drinkin’ in order to get in the mood with Mimi?

    When the hell is someone going to give Wee Man (a/k/a JamJar) the beating he so richly deserves? Where I come from (da Bronx) snitchers don’t last too long.

  4. I have an awful feeling that the story is now going to shift to Jamjar, for a second year. Whigrub may not realize we do not give a flying whoop about Jamjar– he doesn’t have the stature to be either hero or villain and thus remains a simple ear-ache. Cody was interesting. Marcus Tedford was even interesting as the loyal, silent second-in-command. Jamjar is thus far incapable of rising above the level of irritating noise.

  5. Worth the wait, Mr. B.

    11/25 P2-Mrs Morgan: “Coach Thorp, Cody’s not here and neither is Mr. Morgan and I think you’ll like the reason. I got this leather strap around my mommy bags and leather boots and thong. Now get in here; I need to be disciplined and degraded.

    I’ve got a friend who works in Lutheran Social Services. I sent him a note (with the strip) thanking him for taking such good care of Cody.

  6. Cody’s not here because it’s the middle of the school day.
    Shouldn’t you be back at your school doing something gym teacherlyish?

  7. I really, really hope Jam Jar isn’t returning as our central character. He’s too much of a douche to be a workable hero, and lacks both the stones and the back story to work as a villain. He’s a kinda talented asshole on the high school football team without quite the level of ability to go anywhere with it. Who lies to and aggressively hits on girls that aren’t interested in him. Also, he’s a snitch. How low is that?

    Seriously, have him accidentally lop off a limb or something so we can all move on.

  8. 11/25 P1-Those floors are looking a little dull, where is Steve Luhm?

  9. Goshen is 6-1? Goshen is tough? This is the same Goshen that Les Neemy’s sister could beat?

    Rubin trying to shake things up, Goshen is supposed to be the Valley’s whipping boy.

  10. I think we missed the part where Gil got the contact info for Lutheran Social Services so he could drop the kids off there for Thanksgiving, go home and dive deeper into funk.

  11. Lutheran Social Services? So that explains the whereabouts of Keri and Jami Thorp.

    Who knew Kay Morgan was Milford’s slump-buster?

  12. Hey, Jamarr, haven’t you learned anything under Coach Gil? There’s no trying in football.
