Gil Thorp

Post by FetalJuice »

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but the main character in Gil Thorp's comic strip will be going to CofC. It sounds like he will be playing for the basketball team at least, maybe baseball too. This could be some good publicity.

Did anyone notice that Ken Burger hit the 3-run homer? Coincidence that the bball recruit chose CofC and that Ken Burger hits a 3 run tater???

The P&C recently published a brief explanation that the strip's creator occasionally incorporates names and programs consistent with his client newspapers. He said he liked, among other things, the names Ken Burger and Hanahan.
I suspect that if you went to a few other papers around the country, they've probably gotten the same treatment at one time or another.
