Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 05, 2019

“It’s exactly the kind of harebrained thing you’d do.” Gil Thorp, master of tact!

“…and since I didn’t do anything, you think there’s something wrong with me? Gee, Coach, thanks, A LOT!”

Can I sit down on this chair Coach?No! Ten Hut! Now come closer to this giant hand so I can delve into your private life.

Filion’s depressed state seems to amuse Gil.

I just haven’t been feeling felonious some days.

P1, In spite of winning only one game Gil’s office seems to have gotten a nice upgrade. It looks much more impressive in the color version than it does here.

P2, He must have a social disease. The big hand is on the Filion. For even more big hands, see today’s “Herman”.

P3, No more of this moping around. I want you to not just deface that billboard tonight, I want it burned to the ground! Understood?

In all reality , Look Mike I feel for you .How about you and I taking a hot steamy shower and chasing your blues away ?

Robby Howry has been selling aspirin to Filion and convincing him that they’re downers. Say what you will about Howry, the man is good at his placebo pushing!

Got to HAND it to you Gil. You are superb mentoring today’s young people in 1985. Have you and Mimi ever considered having kids?

First, he reams the kids for planning to deface the billboard, then he makes the kid who was not involved feel like a loser for not being involved.

Now they’re purposing playing with us with the giant hands every day.

(Oh boy, waiting for the replies to this…)

P4 – “I guess the problem is I only have a couple of years to play High School basketball, and they are being wasted. We have a talented team but our coaching is almost non-existent and we’re destined to finish in 7th place, if we’re lucky.”

“Okay, you seem well adjusted after all. Off to class you go!”

You see coach: "The car was stalled upon the track, I got you out, but you went racing back. Teen Angel do you read this, Teen Angel do you comment, are you someone on this blog, or is my mind just in a fog?

I looked in my TV Guide (big seller in Milford) and saw that Dr. Gil is subbing for Dr. Phil this week. Pre-show prep with Antface.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

God, Gil is so thrilled in panel three, it’s unseemly. “I knew it!” he thinks. “I knew this little twerp was suicidal! See, I can so connect with these losers emotionally. In your face, haters!”

P1: Gil’s set of encyclopedia Britannica is available for reference

Why does Gil have a chair on casters for visitors to sit in?

Maybe Fillion is truly gay and afraid to “come out” but therapist Gil will get him to admit it by asking therapist-like questions

C’mon man, suck it up. What do you have—the heartbreak of psoriasis? My primo’s home was destroyed. Pass him the ball and maybe you will win a game or two!

I’m socially secure! Daffy!
