Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 12, 2021

hats gonna lead to a hard lesson learned too late, I bet!

P3: Well, I just stole it today…

Is the officer just blowing smoke?

Contraband peacocks, maybe

Traveling. But Milford retains possession.

You’d think the cop would be wearing a hat to protect his scalp from the giant snowflakes. As someone whose hair is a bit thin up top, I know he’d need that kind of protection.

P1 S@#t!

What?

Rollers

No

Yep

S@#t!

P2 No contraband parrots, just outstanding warrants for weapons and possession, must not make eye contact…

P3 Don Rickles! I thought you were dead

Nice having friends in positions of power. I mean, maybe the officer prefers to give out warnings, but when he recognizes your face instead of asking for your license it suggests it’s not the first time Doug’s been pulled over.

P1, Nope, just for you Butt Muench.

P2, These two are ahead of their times wearing masks already.

P3, Nice, Doug’s crime family has paid off the local police.

In all reality , Hey Doug Ease Up, Mr Reality is out walking about 3 blocks ahead . You wouldn’t want to hit the old coot would you ? Inquiring minds want to know .

P3- Zoinks! The robot from Queen’s News of the World album!

P 2.5: “…no parrots, but I do have a butter knife on me…”

Its true. small towns/cities pretty much worship the local HS sports stars, just like they did when I was in HS in the 1960s

Sucks getting old…memory loss…imaging things…I could have sworn I read yesterday that the jeep doesn’t see snow and he was heading home.

Ahhhh. I see his Dad is a cop.

He couldn’t be going that fast that cop is right on his tail.

Don’t see Doug as a HS star when he can’t decide between kart racing and basketball, much less committing to one or the other and when he does show up costs the team games with shoddy play when the pressure is on, seems more like he is notorious and known by the local authorities for recklessly driving a car that stick out like a sore thumb in fulfillment of his racing wannabe fantasies

Oops, we shouldn’t have mentioned the parrot, so this plot doesn’t make the readers long for the defunct Milford Pirate Network!

P1 – In the color version, it appears that the aliens have gone to red alert.

P2 – Are they pulling the old practical joke, where they had facial transplants and are pretending to be each other?

P3 – He seems friendly, but his fist is clenched like he’s about to punch Doug for his turnovers that cost him $50 betting on the Oakwood game.

And speaking of betting, I’m betting you want to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
