Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 02, 2016

Here we go….

Ooooo, that’s even better than Ken(zie)..Then again, who else would Max like to take care of his achin’ bacon?

If Kenzie heard that comment, she’d snatch him bald. Balder?

@gziver from late yesterday. The last time I saw the strip in an actual newspaper was about 10 years ago in The Frederick Post in Maryland. On occasion someone would leave a copy in the lunchroom at work. Anybody else?

So Mimi only posted the list of kids who made varsity? And she’s only carrying 8 players?

A budding romance in P1?

Why hasn’t Mimi asked Gil to use the football teams helmets for her practices? I’m sure Holly would have thought of it.

Who knew Friar Tuck in P3 was a comedian? And don’t give me that bull about the angle of the lights. I had that same bald spot when I was 18. Trust me, it only gets worse.

In all reality , I agree with Ravenswood . WE need to get back to basics in 2016 and go for the low hanging jokes more juvenile humor . OK in that vein, P 3 Max says Whatever BAldi ,let’s hit the showers.

Well P1 has me thinking the varsity showers could be fairly affectionate this season.

I would have gone with MENzie MANley.

At least Kenzie is affectionate. Imagine how many cola cartons it would take to clothe her.

P3-With a comment like that, it’s pretty obvious that the kid in this panel has been reading our comments!! Sneaky of him!

Wow – pretty affectionate there in P1 for someone they didn’t even know a couple of months ago. I agree about the comment in P3, they were reading our comments down here and are rolling with it. On the other hand, I don’t understand what led to the ethnic slur in P2. Vertical striped shirt girl doesn’t look Italian to me.

Southern Italy

P-1: Music theme: When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek.P-2: Is that the Power Rangers getting ready to fight evil?P-3: Max is coming down with scoliosis.

Sorry for the third post but It sure looks like Boo has been doing Kenzie’s hair in P-2

Hey, I finally got some work around here after a long drought. Do you like my COACH THORP sign? I am not responsible for the roster below it though, don’t insult me and assume I did that monstrosity.

Oh man, Menzie is better than Ken(zie). But I can’t steal from that, I’m supposed to be ridiculing them not admiring them. And speaking of admiring, all your friends will admire you if you turn them on to today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Rut Roh!

Well I had New Year’s like Ellis had a Christmas. Stood up work Thursday and passed out stone cold. This big boom woke me and my hip felt like it was exploding. It was me I heard. They called in the EMT’s and I was in the hospital until about two today. My meds have gotten messed up and I have to go to my cardiologist next week. My hip hurts like the devil and I can hardly walk. okay……. enough whining. Here’s the backing track for panel one:.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abum9IDymTE. Belated Happy New Year to all. On the ‘how long’ subject from yesterday it says I ‘joined’ in 2009. I started reading because I’d only seen bits and pieces of Gil Thorp in the Charlotte Observer when I was growing up. Didn’t take long for me to get so entertained by you guys comments I wanted to be part of it! I’d have quit this silly thing long ago if y’all did not make it so funny!

Oh…… my first thought on panel three was that guy on the bench was some white dude that wanted to look like Derrick Henry.

Gents, at long last, this one could have it all…misogynistic slurs, gratuitous shower references, early male pattern baldness, lesbian discovery, ethnic and racial insults, the whole nine yards!

Neil and Rod, A Happy New Year to you, my loofah stands at full attention!
