Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 17, 2019

Speaking of extraneous things.

Which one is Morale? And what’s her secret side hobby?

I bet the smell of Gil’s feet isn’t doing Mimi’s morale any good.

P1, And me, I do imitations of “The Scream.”

P2, I thought being in this strip was.

P3, Why is Gil wearing stilts while holding a wine glass full of Hoo?

P3 Has Gil grown to 7’ tall and momma looks like she has put on a ton of weight!

It’s only a matter of time until the Extraneous take over the world.

Yeah, they do that…

In all reality , Bond , James Bond .

Get Bond. Gold Bond. I feel chaffed from the continuous irrelevancy.

Nice 70’s watchband, Gil. Are those the missing Thorp children in those two pictures on the mantle?

Drop out Drop out

Soon, they will be too cool for softball too, Mimi

Pass the glass Gil. Weekday drinking will help ease Mimi’s mind.

There’s no way Gil can touch his toes…..

Too cool for school, I remember a soft drink add for “Uptown” where he was “too pooped to participate”.

Background track for panels one and two: The Moody Blues song “LEGEND OF A MIND”

(Aka the “TIMOTHY LEARY’S DEAD” song)

Those legs and feet in that last panel really are about as bad as anything I have ever seen here. Not that I’d ever criticize the art though.

Mimi . . . just how long has it been since you were a girl in high school?

How would Mimi know? Do she have someone on the inside??

Why does she have a nose only Jimmy Durante would love in P1 and it is back to normal in P2?

Okay a parting barb at the art. What kind of creatures are behind those two sets of eyes under the table? Is it the two kids sticking their heads out of the secret entrance to the underground dungeon?

MHS kids sure like to high-five over the dumbest of things

…what is that bulbous protrusion from Gil’s crotch that Gil has a tight grip on in P3? Didn’t know he is a lefty!

Mimi’s really bulking up! I think she’s hoping to play linebacker for Gil in the fall.

And speaking of bulking up, Mopped Up Thorp has bulked up with 3 new episodes for this week: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
