Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 10, 2019

Mimi’s reverse psychology strategy has surprised Linda so much her iris popped out.

That boy’s spoon-holding technique sure is unorthodox…give ’em a button!

In all reality , it’s very nice that Father O Brannon stops by the lunch room in P1 tò say grace. I bet he gets a button.

P1, So that’s where all those pussy hats that were all the rage for a second a few years ago ended up!

P2, Yeah, my parents made a huge donation to the UCLA softball team so I’m playing there instead.

P3, Tell her they suck, Mimi that’ll make her want to go there even more.

That coach is good at manipulating people.

“That team is going to get crushed next year. Every other team in the conference has recruited a bunch of all-star players from Australia!”

P1- Rasta hats. Irie Mon!

P2- Rod enjoys depicting Mimi as a Children of the Corn stand in.

P3- Capiche?

P1 – As you’ll see in the color version, Hoo now comes in blue! And what’s with the guy? Looks like he is in love with whatever’s on his spoon.

P2 – So they have rare designated team hat days? Not every game day? Guess they didn’t love their gift that much after all.

P3 – Can’t wait to see what genius reverse psychiatry Mimi is using here. Are they scheduled to exhibition against Australia? I hope not, that would make here hate it more.

Mimi: “…Linda….you are short, have small feet, short legs, and cankles….you probably should forget about volleyball….”

P-2: Whew, Senior Linda, heading to college, has the legs of a twelve year old boy. Maybe it’s not too late for the Water Polo Olympic team. Then R&W wouldn’t have to draw them.

More P-2: Why are Mimi’s pants all stretched out at the bottom? What strange game do Gil and Mimi play before school?

It’s nice that the Milford students close their eyes or look down to keep them from laughing out loud at the softball players’ hats.

Brutal honesty has made a return once again.

P2: Is that Jaxon?

If Linda is mostly lukewarm about college volleyball, what is she the rest of the time? Excited? Filled with dread? Mostly lukewarm sounds like extra medium.

I see Whigham gave this strip a 6 out of 10. Seems way too generous. (Ha, that never gets old. Right? Right?) And speaking of generous, I’m feeling generous today and giving you a bonus strip. Besides today’s Mopped Up Thorp, there is also a version of Mopped Up Blondie!
