Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 27, 2019

P1 – Chet still has that Excedrin headache #9, #9, #9…

P2 – Gil starts his day with a heaping pile of donuts while Mimi reads and explains to him Family Circus.

P3 – Why is the Superintendent reading a quote that he allegedly made? And he then says that he agrees with it. Does he have dementia or something? That also might explain why he for some reason wore his tuxedo into the office.

And speaking of dementia, one way to help stave off dementia is to regularly read Mopped Up Thorp.

P4: The hapless Chet runs screaming from the shoat gelder guild!

Also, it looks like Gilpa’s second donut is levitating off the plate.

That’s 6 people so far reading the article out loud to somebody, including Gil reading to Mimi then Mimi reading to Gil. Is this normal in Milford?

P1: “As the Worm Squirms”. Brought to you by Comet Cleanser.

P3: Nice to see Mandrake the Magician taking an interest in the situation, but where’s Lothar?

P1, Chet’s never-ending punishment begins at home.

P2, Gil, still pretending he knows nothing about how this all started.

P3, Superintendent Don Vito Corleone. or is that the ringmaster for this Milford circus.

Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter’s wedding day.

For all us old timers P 3 nice play on words Howard Elston / Elston Howard former NY Yankee catcher in all reality .

P1- Ms. Roh-Ballard is doubly pissed after receiving that Milford Monk at the Valley Cut & Curl Salon.

P2- Mimi points out missing persons in The Milford Star as GilPa gives the snarkers a wink.

P3- Playing the role of Howard Elston in today’s episode of Milford Masterpiece Theatre is a seasoned Richard Gere.

Mimi isn’t reading to Gil; she either is pointing out a Black Friday deal or sees a picture of her missing children in the paper!

P3: I trust that Reed Richards will do a Fantastic job.

P1: Kaye Ballard glowers as Billy Mays realizes the mustard stain will not come out of the lace tablecloth

P2: Gil prepares to dunk his cruller but remembers Gil mug is at the office

P3: Bon vivant, man about town Howard Elston roll in from big night in Center City to take command of Board crisis.

P 1: Eesh….Chet never would have done this if he knew the result was gonna be that face lookin’ at him………P 3: is that actually the super or is it another guy deciding to kick Chet, now that he’s down?

P-2: Blast from the past. C’mon Gil, sound it out.

P-2: When the story started many readers suggested Mrs. B. might be asian. Now, she looks like a Central City Bouncer.

John Forsythe as whoever the character was that he played on Dynasty shows up in panel three.

Super Howard can’t be bothered with these trivial things while he’s ogling the 1918 24c Inverted Jenny he just bought from The GIL Collection.

This is a good time for Chet to remind the missus that their vows said “for better or worse.”

Like your Mopped Up Thorp comic. You deserve a few days off. Happy Thanks giving to you and all the readers of this comic strip.

P3: Lots of good call outs on Elston gents, how about Efrem Zimbalist Jr.? Is this a Quinn-Martin strip?

Chet could end up with a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

The color version of Mutt just now made me notice this other guest appearance. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shows up in panel three.

Chet knows that his wife will not love him long time.
