Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 25, 2020

What a great Christmas card! It’s amazing how fast Keri and Jami have grown up! And now they’re a pairs skating team!

Better than we’d get from those Central City snobs! Merry Christmas Thorpians!

Was Marty Moon visited by 3 spirits overnight?

Ģil, in all reality , do you smell something burning ? Don’t worry Mimi , it’s just smoke from the warming hut . I hope it’s not a house fire Gil .As she walks home with her Mom , as the Milford Fire Department responds to a call that the Thorp house is burning , Corina says Let’s hurry home and open presents , Merry Christmas to All !

I was thinking Gil traded in for a euro-mail-order second wife, or that was a high-school senior standing in for Mimi. Mimi is trudging through the snow, looking for her children.

Nice to see Kaz and The Internet Ninja are nimbly ice skating at Milford Town City Park. Coco Hut? Gil and Mimi too good to get sippy cups from the Diner or The Copywrite Cafe?

Still skating around the issue of the missing children and dog I see.

Merry Christmas to all!

I like the footballs on the Christmas tree. Must be for State Champion Coach Gil.

Merry Snarkmas everyone

I’m stunned by the art work showing how the cement is reacting to Kaz and his girl trying to glide across it.

I’m cuckoo for Coco Hut! I’m cuckoo for Coco Hut!

Kaz and his gf playing “Crack the Whip”. In tomorrow’s strip, she will be blasting though the first panel. Merry Christmas, and pass the eggnog.

Oh come on! We waited 365 days for Gil to call a timeout for us and he doesn’t do it this year? Bogus man!

Ooh, Milford must have gotten a new café, the Coco Hut. Maybe we can visit there during this story. And nice to see that Kaz and Kelly have become expert figure skaters. He must be at the rink practicing during all those times he’s supposed to be teaching/coaching. They still need more work though, he’s skating out of the strip. 2 point deduction.

And speaking of deductions, there’s a 10 point deduction if you don’t read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Kaz practicing for “Grease On Ice.”

Notice that Kaz is wearing white skates. (Checked the color version of the strip to confirm they’re white.) Generally, white skates are ladies’ figure skates and black ones are men’s. Not that there’s anything wrong with him wearing white ones; just noting that he’s bucking convention.

Merry Christmas or whatever y’all celebrate.

Keri and Jamie are spending Christmas with Chuck Cunningham at his place.
