Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 12, 2017

We also serve who … no one will ever hear of, now or again.

They keep saying it’s Rick Soto’s house – so are his parents gone, leaving him the place and Uncle Hipster with the hairy right hand is his guardian? Gil getting ready for baserunner testing on the base lines, Kaz just shakes his head.

What does Gil mean, “Everyone”? Does he know exactly who is going out for football? There must be at least one very talented transfer who will be a complete surprise to him.

In all reality ,is the storyline going to be about concussions and how serious they are ? Will Rickey , Call Me RICK , Soto forget the lines to the song he was going to sing for his American Idol audition due to lingering affects of a concussion ? Stay tuned Thorptopians this is going to get good !

12 September and they’re “baseline testing” (presumably) the football squad? After burying Berrill in an marked grave, these two “writers” certainly have lowered both the writing and the artwork to dismal levels. Shout out school references are up dramatically but at the expense of the historic conference foes and, of course, Marty Moon. I’m an old fart and have read this strip since late 50s and I fear I am their baseline audience. Do these stoopid storylines attract teen readers? Okay. I feel better. Back under my rock with me.

Uncle has an interesting right hand, specifically his pinkie finger, most likely related to time spent down in the basement with his Hustler collection.Larry F.

Who’s the guy in P3 drinking coffee?

Definitely, the combo band is not Gary and The Playboys. The band loads up Gary’s 1972 VW van, decorated with peace sign and Burger Chef flowery like stickers reminding us of Jim Lange and The Dating Game. Mmmm, Burger Chef. The first place I remember you could build your own burger.

A whopping 67 comments yesterday, I knew the end of JQ would excite everyone. Now look for a steady drop as this alleged story drags on. Other than the occasional spike when people start getting mad about it.

Kaz has bee emersed in this Tetras game since last March’s playdowns!

P-1: Earth, Wind, and Fire reference

P-2: C’mon, I just bought a double knit leisure suit to wear to the local Gong show!

P-3: Kaz reminds Gil, it’s football season, forget about baselines

P-3: Is Kaz playing 3D Pong?

So we have an offensive lineman and an insult comic? That’ll be a big hit at the Elks.

I know what’s up here. Rick talks like Gomer Pyle but sings like Jim Nabors! Wait, that’s already been done. More likely, he talks like Jim Nabors and sings like Gomer Pyle. That’ll win at the Elks every time.

I knew it was too early for the baseball season in Milford to be over yet. But shouldn’t Gil have gotten the baseline testing done during spring practice?

P3, It looks like Gil is using an “M” for Milford, or is it Mimi, mug today. What happened to the “GIL” mug? I sure hope MOPMAN didn’t knock it off the desk when he was mopping up Gil’s office.

Uncle Gary appears to have two right hands. One with a finger and a thumb and the other has three fingers. Obviously he is an alien. .

Baseline testing? What happened to the good old days of turning your head and coughing? I shudder to think that made all of us testy.

Just what the heck is Kaz wearing on his wrist? Is that supposed to be some kind of hip watch band like they wore in the 70’s?

P1: thought bubble – “where’s his bong?”

P-1: Ok, it’s Alfalfa with a goatee, but who cut off his personality spike?
