Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 16, 2018

Et tu, Paloma?

If anyone’s feeling guilty, it’s Gil.

Ooh – we may be getting close to Valuable Lesson Learned time!

P1, Shouldn’t Marty be the one feeling guilty, Gil?

P2, What’s ridiculous are these Toucan Sam noses we’re sporting.

P3, Are a beeotch!

Shouldn’t it be feeling GIL-ty?

…..better not screw up this Spring’s softball & baseball season’s. Take your Doc Martin’s and Birkenstocks and pen your poetry at The Copywrite Café. If I see that Pirate boy, it’s going to be swirly time.

And I bet Jorge wishes he took the bus home today.

Hey, P2 should have come with a spoiler alert as it gives away our feelings about the wrap-up of this story arc!

I like the artist in a tree perspective in panel 1.

P4: Come on! I have to start baseball practice with the next unlikable character next Monday.

Evidently when she walked past that tree it rearranged her hair.

If this keeps dragging on, they will have to skip BB & SB and get right to the summer golf at MCC

So Gil is one of the gang now? Are they walking over to the Bucket for some sodas and fries?

Again we have the lack of deference. I would never have said “That’s ridiculous” to a coach or teacher. I would disagree but not as if I were talking to someone my own age.

Marty must get his job back. He is as important to this strip as the Thorpe children.

And you, Paloma, can talk to the hand!

A high school boy shouldn’t be made to feel guilty about not standing up for himself when a grown man ridicules and mocks him on the radio.

What’s ridiculous is this story and that one kid with hurt feelings can upset the apple cart as much as this annoying PP has

P2: “…I bet Jorge wishes that he just would grow a pair…”

Looks to me like Gil is doing his Gilfather pose in P3. “I’m going to make you an offer to end this storyline that you can’t refuse!”

This just in: Khloe and Tristan named their new daughter True.
