Gil Thorp


While Milford's men's baseball team discusses strategy in an office that has a trapezoidal computer monitor, Lisa Wyche is feeling the pressure from heaters, risers, and sinkers. It probably doesn't help that the softball is attached to some sort of string, but we do learn that Lisa is left-handed (that will be important later, I'm sure). Her really bad softball playing has caused mountains to rise up out of the ground some distance from Milford. Fortunately they disappear by panel three, along with the ground, and now softball is being played while floating in a vacuum. So it's no surprise Liz had a throwing error. But that softball player from Oakwood doesn't really need to slide, the ball is apparently floating in mid-air and will move into the Lady Mudlark's glove when it's good and ready.

Coach Gil Thorp is sitting in Assistant Coach Kaz's lap in Panel 1 of Gil Thorp. Is this why this comic was presented in Qomics for Queers? Just asking.

Ha! Yes, Jim Gross should keep working on the "knuckler" and Kaz will keep working on the "fist"...
