The new shortstop is not only a giant, he looks about the same age as Coach.  Don't they have rules about that?

Gil's creator, Jack Berrill, passed away March 14, 1996. The strip will continue, but for his faithful readers, the playdowns will never be the same . . .

The strip is now being drawn by Ray Burns, who worked with Jack Berrill on it for the last three years, and is written by Orlando Busino.

Scholars even read Gil Thorp!  Here is his bib (that's academic talk for bibliography):
   
       Hagen, Patricia  Gil's World Journal of Popular Culture Vol. 31.3 Winter 1997, pp 47-54

She must be a fan.  Patricia says Gil is "a giant among prep coaches."  She also points out that some of the 
characters tend to resemble each other . . .

 Who would have thunk it? There are over faithful Gil fans on the WWW!!
