Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 02, 2013

The following program is brought to you in living color.

That, or it’s a glass eye that was just cleaned and waxed by Steve Luhm

P1 – minor EESP3 – major EES eruption!Again, the whole team is there, begging to see the magic peacock? Hard to believe this is a serious comic strip.

If MHS EVER has a home game, I can hear it now, as the ’Larks take the court, a HRRAKK!!! blares over the PA as the pep band plays the fight song.

The most superstitious group of people is sailors, followed VERY closely by athletes!

Soon the bird owner will jump out and start shooting.

First we had the peacock storyline, then the pope resigned. Can the end of the world be far behind?

The comment in P2 says it all & sums up this whole storyline.

Next the team will all don peacock costumes and post a Harlem Shake video on YouTube.

I am hoping this storyline is a lead up to Rubin and Whigham joining the 21st century and producing Gil Thorp in color.

Whatever happen to Chelsea the duck?

Is this going to lead to peacock tats?

With this type of storyline; forget about taking down the peacock. Maybe its time to take down the Gil Thorp strip.

I’m guessing Mr. Whigham got a “How to Draw a Peacock” book for Christmas.
