the football storyline ended with the villain coach winning the game, but being unsatisfied in his win because thorp was being a good sport about losing. right now we are starting up basketball season and also advancing the gil thorp's marriage is crumbling storyline with what is looking like a surprise twist lesbian affair with the ~~tennis~~ golf instructor

honestly i am loving loving gil thorp after forcing myself to actually read it, BUT i will say the biggest flaw in it is the sports. because gil thorp is in fact a high school gym coach his professional and personal life are kinda gonna by necessity revolve around high school sports. so far it looks like the writer is trying to keep the sports shown accurate for what would be played in high school at the time, which puts a fairly severe limit to how the sport-sided storylines can and must progress; its the holiday problem i pointed out earlier but very unfortunately baked into the premise

i dunno, maybe im making excuses, but i genuinely do like gil thorp and im glad it gets posted

I have to agree with all of this. I tend to skip past the game-centric strips, but I am enjoying the hell out of the rest of it. So Julet Esqu, please know that you are not posting it in vain.

To be fair, there are only cops in US schools when they aren't being shot up.

So there are no cops in US schools.

Can't help but notice that the description of the family dynamics has been locked in since the middle of 2011. That takes dedication.

To be fair, there being snow on the ground and having a snow day are two very different things(unless you live in a state where snow is a freak occurance, I guess). Snow days are also a hell of a lot rarer irl than kid me had been led to believe by cartoons. :negative:

Honestly, it's the only choice that makes sense to me, you wouldn't wish for a snowday unless there was actual snow on the ground, since otherwise you are just demanding random acts of god. However, when you get that snowfall and hit that sweet spot where a kid wakes up and things haven't been plowed yet it can look like civilization is collapsing and you get to sleep in and watch cartoons or whatever.

It's just that the insane wiki gargoyle is a goon who believes in the funny thing this time.

Which is especially funny given Ed is almost certainly a Gen X-er now if Dustin is 24. The youngest Boomers turned 35 in 1999.
