Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 12, 2015

GIl tries to cool Bacon before Marty grills him. Those floors look clean enough to eat breakfast off of them, nice work Luhm!

Yep, Luhm has done a super job!! No more of him in any storyline, though, aww!

Marty’s next question: “So, Max, how’d you learn to throw your voice out of your ass like that?”

So bacon is a hot dog. And how many Maxwell’s go by Maxwell and not Max? Not me.

In all reality, it appears that Bobby is just going to be a minor problem for Gil compared to Mega Max Bacon. Back to the intervew ," By the way Mr Moon my agent True Standishs Dad says I have more upside than D Rose ."

In all reality , are they siittiing by the ice rink or did Mops cleaner erase all the lines in the gym ?

Maxwell took GilPa’s advice and flushed it down the toilet. Why can’t a solid humble kid wear #1? Fashion emergency! Lini Verde needs to mentor this kid.

Bacon has Cam Newton’s number and evidently his cockiness too.

…good Kent McCord (Jim Reed) reference over the weekend, but I think the ref looked more like a young Gil Gerard…

P3- is Bacon referring to his prowess in the shower? What will Moon witness? Is this a Sandusky moment?

Is “Mr. Moon” hovering over the bench? Note the shadow under his rectangular butt. Side note: Mr. Moon is the creepy mascot for Asheville’s minor league baseball team.

It was clever of Marty to draw a number one on his back to get on Maxwell’s good side.

Why is Bacon using Al Jolson’s signature line? Is he going to play in “Black-Face”? This strip is going back farther than most of its fans ages. I think Marty is sitting on last week’s bowling ball.

By the way Neal, its "You ain’t seen nothin ,yet; not you haven’t

I almost missed it. In P-2 Gil implies Marty exploits under age children.

Given the ‘70s vibe of the strip, shouldn’t Maxwell have said: “In the words of Bachman Turner Overdrive, ‘B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet’”?

Maxwell Bacon was named after the pig in the Geico commercial.

Another big-headed Milford athlete that will get his comeuppance. We’ve seen this before. But what about Mopped Up Thorp, have we seen this humor before? Yeah, of course we have.
