Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 06, 2018

So he’s going to get Gil drunk and then call the police? Classic revenge move.

He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink / He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink / He sings the songs that remind him of the good times / He sings the songs that remind him of the best times

Marty’s least favourite pirate Duncan Levin has driven him to his favourite pirate Captain Morgan

Where was Gil when Del Bader needed his counseling at the bar??

Is Gil worried there will be a scandal if he’s seen in a (gasp) bar? Gil and Mimi have had plenty of glasses of wine in this strip.

P1- Mimi in so many words, tells GilPa he needs a spanking.

P2 & P3- Doesn’t look like The Sons of Milford are meeting at Applebee’s, where you can get a gourmet meal according to Ricky Bobby. Thor P enjoys these periodic shortcomings Marty has, sorta therapeutic, isn’t it?

P1, And that’s a bad thing?

P2, Gil meets Marty as he relaxes at home. It kind of looks like Marty’s lower body is seated while his upper body is standing. Oh, well, he’ll be on the floor soon enough.

P3, Marty signals for another round. Tomorrow, “Put it on the State Champs tab, Toots!”

Gil, “Does it have to be in a bar?”

Marty, "You talkin’ yo me?!?

So, for a change, I was close to being right about Gil taking Marty out for a drink, yesterday. Doesn’t happen often.

Oh was that what Gil was doing? Trying to “goad” him? I thought he was teaching the kids how valuable lesson on how to deal with racism and ignorance. Not to mention setting Moon straight. I guess I misunderstood gil thorp’s motivations and maturity.

The answer IS at the bottom of that bottle.

Bring back the Thorp kids. So many plausible story lines could written. Youth sport issues, coaching your own child, star QB wanting to date the daughter. These story lines are downright goofy.

Is this where Marty and Gil realize they’ve been crazy in love all these years and Gil leaves Mimi?

Marty takes Gil’s advice and instead of compounding he works out all the permutations possible with the different mixers and finishes with probabilities.

Don’t listen to him Marty.

The answer to your problems is at the bottom of one of these glasses.

You’ve just got to keep looking for it until you find the right one.,,
