Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 11, 2016

I hope those are the softball team’s dress uniforms.

Poignant moment when 60’s era Peter and Gordon step out of the background in P1 and do a stirring version of World Without Love.

That guy in the front row looks a lot like Del Bader. But then again, everyone kind of looks like everyone.

“Getting killed by drunk drivers is just sooo random!”

In all reality , I’d like to quote Winston Churchill someone I learned about in AP History , " Shate Happens ". Thank you .

…good to see the Everly Brothers made an appearance in P1…

Can we get out to Milford CC now?

Ward Clever in the front row of P1. I see the house is too full for Gil and Mimi to bother to show.

P2, What if she hadn’t had that last milkshake? What if her mom had gone out and bought her own damn milk?

The girls must have a game right after this. Now we know why Mimi is nowhere to be seen

This is the perfect time to include an oldie but a goodie, BBJ, John Pascoe, to deliver a moment of silence.

Would those having relatives or friends on Flight 1203 please report to the chapel across the street at once?

Random? The tat slap. The magic peacock. A one-armed golfer. Missing children. You mean there wasn’t some type of divine providence to all this? I suddenly feel like I’m in the old “Twin Peaks” TV series.

Tough day for Tru(e). Comic moment needed to help ease the tension. How about Steve Boone on the wrong side of the casket as a pall bearer? I know, just a memorial service, not a burial.

@bearwku: good one!

and in conclusion let me say: “I’m here all week; try the veal.”

Random, like which one of the girls in P-3 am I going to take to the graduation dance.

The woman in P1 looks like she’s about to break wind.

Wait until Mimi finds out that Pedro was the driver of the pickup.

P1 – That guy seems a bit too happy to be sitting in the front row.P3 – Yeah, the girls went with the formal uniforms out of respect, the ones with actual sleeves. And that would be a nice plot twist, that Random character from the classic tat storyline was the driver of the pickup truck! Coming back to wreak havoc years after getting run out of town.

Rubin and Whigham think they can deter me by continuing with this depressing series of strips, but fear not, I still managed to do something semi-funny in today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

For a tribute to Boo, this sure seems like all True is talking about is himself.

“What if I’d gone to Boo’s game instead of working on a group AP English project? What am I doing taking AP English anyway?”

…and what if Boo had taken it easy on the fries and shakes?….

@Bitsy: Ah, Chico Marx says I’m a only want one flavor candy so no-to v’riety.

Coincidence that Boo’s funeral is today? “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD” was first published on July 11th 1960.

Panel one back row L-R : Mick, Brian, Keith, Bill and Charlie..I have seen a very early ‘pre-long hair’ era photo of them where they actually did look like this.

Guy in third row with tie bored already….looking for the Dave Clark Five in the background to take the stage
