Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 30, 2015

Is that a coffee mug or does Gil have about eight pens in his shirt pocket?

Nope, they’re ninja throwing knives confiscated from Leisl (the next one to be suspended), which she was going to use on the next frog crotch she was asked to dissect.

Even his mother has bought into Robert Howry’s re-branding of himself as “Bobby.”

The little bastard stole my baseball trophy too.

C’mon coach. You know Max is an idiot. Do you really think he’d pass even one class if he wasn’t on the team?

What?!?!? Bobby will be out of basketball for the season as a drug supplier and THEN he’ll develop new interests and get Leisl’s attention??? ;)

I can’t believe Milford High is letting an often absent coach had out the discipline in a bogus drug case.

Gil is about to slap some sense into Bobby’s mom.

“That’s not all he did – Bobby also had a pretty good major league career, Mrs. Howry”.

Rex Morgan, M.D., Claude Akins, Deney Terrio, Don Draper. Gil is the most versatile comic character of all time. Goes from 38 to 75 in 2 panels or less. Since Bacon was allegedly fried, the basketball season for Maxwell is well done.

In all reality , in P2 note where Gil chooses to place his hand on Mrs Bacon .

Gil says that we’ll see about next year. He then explains how Max can work his way back…how his grass needs cutting and how his pool needs to be cleaned. He somehow just can’t seem to ever find Pedro when he needs him.

The towel, for God’s sake. He never got Kaz a towel.

Gil is a tool….

Gil in panel two to Mr. Bacon: “I would have let him off with two games if you hadn’t flipped that bird at me the other day. You do realize this is ‘my’ strip don’t you? You can be in and out in one panel at my say so!”

The floor looks awful in P2. I can only assume Luhm is so devastated by the fact the Mudlarks have no chance at the playdowns he had to call in sick.

Mr. Reality, good catch. Squeeze, we’ll see about next year, nudge nudge, know what I mean? The rest of the year? One game suspension, that ought to make them reconsider their misspent youth. It’s time for Bobby’s mom to do her “Howry Duty”

All those pens in Gil’s pocket are for signing autographs for the hordes celebrating the football state title. He forgot all about basketball until this inconvenience. He thought Kaz had it under control. I think Gil’s ready for baseball season (as are we all).

On behalf of my friend from the windy city….. do you?

Tsk. Is this about Bobby’s psychological manipulation of Max to get revenge/impress a girl? Can’t you do ANYTHING in schools these days?

Well that comeback elicited a sudden guffaw over here. Speaking of guffaws, today’s Mopped Up Thorp could possibly cause one or two guffaws. I just really like the word guffaw.Guffaw!

If Gil can give the type of beatdown he just gave the Bacons, then imagine how his kids must feel…oh wait…

Hopefully the Bacons get their suits 2 for 1 when they each buy one at the same place.

No Bell Lariats, what kinda rodeo does that school run?
