P4 Gil breaks into a rousing version of Don’t Stop Believin’, Holly realizes that’s she’s just a small town girl living in a lonely world and settles down with Marty. Mayne takes a midnight train going anywhere, and we’re hopefully on to basketball.
Gil’s wearing his Mark Trail shirt today. I see Holly’s class is up to The Tempest. She might be a lousy actress, but she’s sure getting through a lot of Shakespeare in one semester.
Get off my sideline? Since when did this facility become Gil Thorp Field at Milford Stadium? Rats! I lusted for Alan Mayne to feel the violent fury of a student body right….right into the ER at Milford Memorial Hospital.
I’m just trying to imagine talking to someone, having them slightly to the side of me while I look past them, and leaning my body on an angle like Gil is doing while I yell. I’d look like a lunatic and/or fall over. And speaking of falling over, you might fall over from laughter after reading today’’s Mopped Up Thorp, so you better sit down.
Gil keeps his dramatic finger point from yesterday going into P1 today. Then adds another accusatory point in P2. They must be monitoring my running count and are trying to raise the numbers. Dramatic finger points now up to 19!
P-1: Gil gets suspended for making a gun out of his fingers. Must go before school board.P-2: come on gang, that chart tracks the local Humane Society’s effectiveness in reducing the wild dog population. Haven’t you ever heard of the Graph Spey?P-3: yes, tape! It’s film Gil recorded when he and Holly were dating. Holly will want “it” to “sink in” after she hears her old reactions/screams and moans
P-3: “hear it on tape” and “you need to hear it”. Gil is setting them up for an audio torture session as Marty Moon warns:“People let me put you wise, Holly goes out with other guys. “Don’t mess around with Run-around Sue er Holly er uuuurp.”

Wow, Former State Champion Coach Gil is fingering everybody in sight. Mimi will not be pleased. Not by Gil anyway.
Former State Champion Coach appears to be “Turning Japanese” in P1.
They may want to change the name of this s@#t show to The Tempest by the time Angry Gil gets done with them.
No gum on the underside of those desks? Nice job Mop Man!

In all reality , it’s a tape made by True and Dory directed by Boo filled with scandalous conversations they recorded with Holly and Alan.

11:00 a.m., and nobody has a class to teach? Sounds about right for the characters in this strip.
