Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 21, 2017

Mom giving herself the Vulcan salute in P2, can you wish long life and prosperity on yourself? Meanwhile in P3 Gil literally shoves it in Gary’s face.

And thus beginneth…

The GILSLAP.

Busted!! OK, but what background fact will change mom’s mind? He’s broke and needs the kid as a meal ticket? What do you all think?

He was a football star in law school?

Everybody has their name on their coffee cups at Milford High.

Gil’s looking every bit of 80 as he tries to warm his arthritic hands with his State Champion Gil Mug in P1.

P2, Not anymore. You finally fixed your hair so you look like a human.

P3, Talk to the palm, Tonoose.

Tonoose tell her about your 10 years at Penn State

In p. 1, Gil and Kaz look like 10 year olds playing slot cars in their parents basement!

In all reality , Gil relishes his Come to Jesus meeting with Uncle Gary but will Uncle Gary spoil it by asking if he’s seen these pictures of his wife and linking Gil directly to the disappearance of the THORP KIDS ?

P1- Cup O’ Jo, mea culpa, Tin Cup. P2- Connie signaling GilPa to live long and prosper or Valley Tech is the next game. P3- Uncle seems perturbed that Thorp is scratching his goat. Black Oak Arkansas is playing Beau Dandy to the rescue in my warped mind.

#metoo. One of the cheerleaders just hired Gloria Allred.

Wow … the Mudlarks might start basketball season before New Years Day

Wait, that’s not Ms. Soto pouring herself a cup of Jo in P1?

These characters with facial hair are pure evil. EVIL!!!

“She’s my daughter. My sister. My daughter. My sister.”

“She’s my daughter. My sister. My daughter. My sister.”

Wow, teacher Jo likes to live the party life on a school night. She looks like hell. Wonder if she’s wearing the same outfit as the day before?

Uncle Tonoose was driving “the truck”.

Tru(E) quote from last Monday night’s NFL game from Sean McDonough. On Tampa safety Chris Conte’s good playing for the night: “…. he’s certainly earned his shower tonight.”

So I guess what happened is Gil called Mother Clueless and said, “There is something you need to know. Come into my office tomorrow afternoon.” And mom asked no other questions, just said, “okay”. Then waited until the meeting to ask, “what is it about?” Comic strip/movie/TV show logic. And speaking of logic, you won’t find much of it at Mopped Up Thorp.

Maybe Uncle Gary is the one selling Gil the drugs that turn him from a frail old man in the morning to a Tom Cruise lookalike by 2:00 p.m.

You’re all wrong. Her name isn’t Jo. There’s a bowl that says soup and a glass that says Milk. They’re in the Football players’ Home Ec classroom.

Mom can’t go anywhere with Uncle Butthead sticking to her.

Gil’s brazen meddling is starting to make Uncle Gary a sympathetic character!

Gil, back off, you’re acting like Mary Worth!

Oooh. What’s the big secret? I personally preferred that Rick intentionally sings off key to get everyone off his back to close the story arc.

Oh, like something about malicious injury to a telephone?

Perhaps UG can give up on Ricky and go to Boston to pursue this kid that works/sings in a grocery store:

RW sure shocked me with this story. I really thought that they were gonna concentrate on Pelwicki after they went to all the trouble of showing him working on improving his game last summer.

Y’all missed that the cup is in Spanish: “HO”.
