Those Poor, Unfortunate Souls

So, I have a theory about Brent's Mom who has played a rather prominent role recently in Gil Thorpe:


The theory is that she is none other than Ursula, the half-octopus witch from Disney's The Little Mermaid:

As you can see it is a rather thin (ba dum dum) disguise. One key difference is that Brent's Mom has man hands, while Ursula has tentacles (not pictured here).

I believe that she is ultimately trying to steal Gil's voice, so that she can use it to lure Lebron James/OJ Mayo-caliber high school basketball recruits to her lair. For evil purposes or attempted World Domination, no doubt. How this evil plan will actually work, I'm not sure. But, any time you get a disguised half-octopus witch with man hands threatening the high school coach, evil is sure to follow.

BWAH HA HA HA!

Another resemblance that perhaps hadn't occurred to you: Every other character in Gil Thorpe with each other. The only one I can tell apart is the "evil Spock" announcer who broadcasts all the games.

Mrs. Raptor is either extremely stinky or has an entire wardrobe full of triangle-pattern blouses. Or both. Let's not rule out "both."

She resembles Elton John more to me.

Your theory has merit. Mrs. Raptor is bespectacled. Incorporating eyeglasses into one's disguise is the most common ploy in all of comicdom, thanks to Clark Kent. But Mama Rapdog goes a bit further, as I assume she bleaches her purple skin, and let's not forget the hands vs. tentacles.
