Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 17, 2014

Yesterday and in today’s first panel, Gil is on the right, Lucky on the left. In the second panel, Gil on the left, Lucky on the right. Third panel, Gil apparently back on the right. What is going on here, some kind of ballet?

And by the way, wouldn’t Lucky’s comment about Amy dumping root beer on him be a non sequitur to Gil? How would Gil know the story behind it if he doesn’t get involved in players’ love lives?

So is Gil saying that blowing the perfect game and never getting a hit are the “smaller things”?

Each summer we are treated to an ever more ludicrous tale of the Bizarre and Absurd. Can’t wait to see how they trump this.

In all reality, the open sores on Gils face are multiplying so Gil should end this conversation with, Look kid women are like buses theres always another one coming, gotta see a doctor about my face, have a nice summer.

Pleeeaaasseee, do not let this storyline carry us till 2 a days start! Have the baseball “playdowns” started yet?J Pulver

@chiphilton – in the second panel Gil is on the left because the view has changed from frontal to from behind.

Frankenstein finger.

I had regular beer spilled on me last night during the USA-Ghana match. By the logic of this strip, I take full credit for our victory.

At this rate Amy & Lucky will make up just in time for some 4th of July “fireworks”. Actually, now that Gill has stepped in, they can end this farce this week.

O.K. Gil Pa fans. Check out the June 26, 2013 strip. If that Subwich sandwich girl isn’t Amy (Clubber) Lange, i’ll eat my WKU baseball hat. With salsa of course.

Neil, Rod…please get us out to Milford CC!!

Mop, I was busy yesterday and forgot to thank you for the shower reference in MUT…still makes me laugh every time! What would Freud say?

So his finger is the ‘good thing"? How’d he mess it up? Shouldn’t that be Amy’s thought?

You could look it up. GT has used the term for years, probably decades.

Come on, if you were sitting next to someone on some bleachers and having a conversation, would you keep getting up and sitting first on one side of them, then on another?

Lucky needs a tattoo. Maybe a four leaf clover or a peacock.

Goshen, you’ve got the right idea…throw in Kenny Lark’s Mother and her bottle of Merlot and we’ve got a 6 week story arc that carries us into John Pascoe’s breakout senior year in pads!

“Amy + Sign Man!”

Bwahaaaaaaa!! Nicely done, sir, well played!

Honored to have inspired you!
