Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 25, 2014

Gil lives!! He’s been barricaded in his office all this time.

“In the HALLWAY?” Why when I was a lad, brawls took place in the schoolyard at high noon, Marquess of Queensbury rules.

Miss Grundy isn’t very effective as a hall supervisor. Gil needs to overcome his halitosis and join Kaz in breaking it up.

Gil: “In the HALLWAY?”Kaz: “No, Coach, in the f*cking custodian’s lounge! Real shocker, huh?”

Panel 2 needs all the kids yelling “Fight! Fight!” – like they still do, believe me.

High schools need more old biddies! #MakeWayMakeWay!

Looks like Kaz was playing charades and Gil guessed pretty well. Must be he’s been practicing the game since we last saw him on February 8.

Actually, don’t you think Kaz would have said “Metzger and Wiley were fighting in the hall”? Why does Gil have to repeat it as a question? Doesn’t he believe Kaz? When has Kaz ever lied to him before? Inquiring minds want to know.

“Metzger and Wiley were fighting? Geez, I take off sixteen days and suddenly things start going to heck around here.”

Okay, I’ve moved the revised strips to tumblr, last time I change! If you want to follow the tumblr page so that you get alerts for new posts, go to my tumblr page: moppedupthorp.tumblr.com and use the +follow option. You need a tumblr account though. Otherwise scan the comments here like before.Today’s and everday’s strip can be found at http://moppedupthorp.tumblr.comI’m a little bummed nobody noticed my cameo appearance in yesterday’s strip.

In the hall? Anywhere else would be alright; but not the hall. Two game suspensions for both, oh my, there go the playdowns.

Did anyone else notice the identical twins in the black tees in P2? I bet whatever is going on in their lives is more interesting than this plot.

P2- Doyle Dane, Marketing Genius, makes a cameo. Notice his left hand. He’s taking bets on the action.

FIGHT!!! FIGHT!!!! Snoopy and Lucy are having a fight!!

Also noticed you yesterday Mop Man — I guess that’s the perks of owning your own comic.

This makes no sense to me….he’’s fine with some douche from a rival school dating his sister, but gets crazy when some guy he actually knows shows an interest? That’s just weird.

Once again, Whigham shoes is ineptitude. He doesn’t shoe the two of them fighting, he just shows some sort of jumble mob scene. And is Gil spitting in panel three?

With modern rules, this should get them both suspended from school, not just the team.Does the school have a “resource officer” or were the cops called?A lot of kids saw the fight.How can Gil cover this up? Have a pep rally and tell the witnesses to lie.

It’s the start of the alien invasion. I said a few weeks ago it was coming. Chaos, destruction, everything ……. vaporized.

The strange car with the face the other week was the alien ground advance scout vehicle.
