Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 17, 2016

Gotta feel sorry for Barry Bader. This was not his fault. Guess the classmates need someone to lash out at.

Bader’s going to lose all his friends – he will have a Dearth of friends. Might earn him some kind of new nickname….

What exactly is happening in P3? One student has rushed up to shake hands with Barry, while off-panel another student has attempted to attack him by hurling all the paper towels from the rest room at him. Boy, won’t the school’s janitor be furious!

I don’t feel sorry for the putz myself. Some people act in such a way as to have people defend them in cases like this. Some don’t.

P3, Hey! Why are you ripping up my centerfolds?!? How am I supposed to get through the day. This is a tragedy. I need to see a grief councilor.

Lets put this dog to bed and start talking about Mudlark football! The state of the world is depresssing enough that I don’t need high drama in the daily cartoons!Peace,Lukebunkin

In all reality , I guess Dr Pearl while at the clinic didn’ t pay attention to the lectures about retaliation and bullying of those being blamed for the death . In this situation , most coaches call team meetings but No , not the Thorps , they a self centered low life’s . It should have been them in the wreck . SORRY , going to the grief counseling at the clinic .

Football? Who wants to be the first to guess this summer’s theme? Estate of Radley vs. Bader? True at Wake Forest? This year’s “new kid” moving to Milford? Gil and Mimi on vacation sans kids?

True remains tru to character: protects/aids Bader with High Road forgiveness.

Ken Brown and True hugging it out begs the question. Why wasn’t KB a Tight End last Fall? It would have been more fun watching him make things happen and scoring TD’s than some old GilPa love interest brewing up trouble and driving Marty to the bottle. Whatever peril young Bader is facing in P3, a certain hip, missing Assistant Coach will restore order. How many days and counting HooDad?

True and KB will stop the bullying, and Barry will be epiphanized. The Milford High School Boo Radley Memorial Chapter of SADD will be launched, with Kaz as faculty adviser.

I see no one trying shake hands with Barry. The bully guy is pushing him and knocking all the papers out of Barry’s hands.

In all reality, it’s a good thing the Hardy Boys will be spending the summer with their grandmother in Milford . The Hardy Boys will solve " The Case of the Missing Pickup Truck Driver"

Why is she now Addison Radley? It would be like Pee Wee Reese becoming Harold Reese after he died.

Those students bullying Barry Bader aren’t angry about his father, they’re ticked off that Dustin Pedroia only has one RBI in the past week.

Oldies Day:P-1: Hold me, hold me, take me in your arms so you can hold me…P-2: My girl, my girl, my girl…P-3: Letters, we get letters, we get lots and lots of letters; Dear Barry, will you be so kind, to fill a request, ans sing the song we love best?

@sweetg1 – I believe kdizzle meant to imply a nickname of “Dearth Bader.”

Young Bader must be living in his own little dream world if he doesn’t understand that his dad is the cause of all this. When is he going to have his waking moment?
