Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 29, 2019

Pleated khakis. Tsk.

Gil walks over to the sideboard to let one rip, hoping that the flowers will provide cover. Meanwhile Chance is still creepy af.

Ein Zwei Drei Vier!

Everybody’s jokin’ ’bout

Grandmas and Grandpas and Gilpas and Loofahs

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

Everybody’s jokin’ ’bout

Sloppy joes and tummy woes

And Charlie Roh’s

Uh-Oh uh-ohs

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

Everybody’s jokin’ ’bout

Blow tops and up-mops That doesn’t sound right…

Um… Mop-Ups and blowups That’s not it either, is it?

Anyhowsomever…

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

Everybody’s jokin’ ’bout

Throwin’ scissors, lies to Mrs.

Chet sayin’ Call me Dad

(Mr. Ballard, you’re a cad….)

All we are saying is give Chance some peace

All we are saying is give Chance (and Charlie and Grandma and Grandpa and the school board and the coaches and your wife, Chet!) some peace!

I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we’ve passed the audition.

P3: Ahhh, now we know: Chance is Jarvis White’s illegitimate son.

“Hi, Coach. I heard you were coming over. What’s up?”

“Oh, nothing. I just had an uncontrollable desire to stand in someone else’s living room and loudly expound to myself.”

P1, That’s because the kids know what happened to Chance’s parents when he got blow top mad, Gil. Now, about your missing kids. . .

P2, Gil seems to be playing “good cop, bad cop” with himself.

P3, Run Gil! No one gets out alive!

In all reality , grandma says Coach Thorp can’t you leave the meddling to Mary Worth who lives across the street ? Pa get my stun gun Chance was in the hall and overheard our conversation with Coach Thorp.

P3- Since Chance has been injured, he has beefed up, thanks to the True Standish buffet training table. If he doesn’t push that plate away, it could have Raptor like proportions.

Chance lives with his grandparents either to be in the school district, like Tiki, or because his parents are drug addicts, incarcerated, dead, or living in some unknown crack house

…lot of gold in the top of the order today, fellas, makes me proud to see the cerebral snark.

P3: Is Milford in an open carry state? Gil looks like he is getting ready to draw…his Glock or his training loofah

Hey, Coach…put the effin’ picture down!

P-3: Why does Chance have Drum stick stuck down his pants?

Never mind the psychodrama. What are those things sticking out of the plant (or whatever it is) in P1?

At least we know Chance has been going to the same barber since 2nd grade.

Okay the last panel looks a little like Marshall Dillon in the opening segment for the old b/w GUNSMOKE episodes.

Chance does not have a chance against Matt either.

CJ is right… lots of pickin’s today. Why do they have a stuffed and mounted porcupine sitting on their living room table?

P 4: “oh, not much, really,…but I thought that you might want to know what Chet Ballard’s been goin’ around sayin’ about you…”

P 2.5: “…especially you two doddering nitwits…”

Chance used to be named ‘Jaxon’ until he went to live with his grandparents and changed his name

…uh oh, let’s be careful what we wish for, dig?
