Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 15, 2021

P1: Time to test Daddy G’s lessons. P2: “He’s B-A-C-K”. P3: “Meanwhile, Back in the Jungle …”

P1 Did I mention my dad uses this jeep to deliver packages for some guys with funny accents from somewhere south of the boarder?

P2 Oh man, if I go to jail, “Butt” Muench won’t just be a nickname

P3 Vic receives an auto reply from Tessi: “I’m not able to respond to your message, I’m washing my beautiful, flowing hair, I will get back to you if I need or want something from you”

The cop forgot to check Kid Entitlement’s oil level and clean the windshield. Or may be just wants to schedule a tune-up.

He looked at that Courtesy Card (re:Chark) he was handed and saw Jackson, and was expecting Franklin. “Step out of the car, now! You have an explanation for this?”

In all reality , P3 Ernie from My Three Sons makes a guest appearance and calls Tessi .

P3- That kid in the middle looks like Terry Rapson, maybe his nerdly cousin instead. Vic has Breck girl’s number? In more ways than one. Bravo.

Vic is ghosted by Tessi from this and many other texts from him so he contacts a local radio station to call her and do a “2nd date update” bit

P1, Doug unleashes his smokescreen.

P2, Vic?

P3, Well, we know you two Gameboys won’t be asking out any girls.

OK, this arc is just confusing as it is starting to look like a mish-mash of several story lines

So if “your friend” is referring to the cop that just pulled them over, he deserves to get pulled over. Seeing how the cop left first, Doug must have blown past him at 100mph a few minutes later if the police car is now behind them.

Ah, here we go, the plot twist that n̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ everybody knows is coming. Eventually he’ll ask her on a date or to prom or whatever and she’ll laugh in his face. He’ll then know he was used for his great PA abilities. Then CK will take her down and probably go out with Vic on a pity date.

And speaking of pity, it would be a pity if you skipped reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp – https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

A Presidents day cliffhanger

I’m trying to figure out if the guy on the couch got his jacket from the Don Johnson collection or the David Byrne collection.

Looks like the coaches — Gil, Mimi and Kaz — have taken February off. None has made an appearance since Gil and Kaz were in the January 30 strip. Doesn’t seem like their teams miss them with CK and VD running things.

P3: “I’m texting Mrs. Thorp. She said Coach Thorp was busy, and she needed help with the pool. In the winter? Did you guys know they had an indoor pool?”

P3: Why is Vic wearing a mouth guard? She can’t punch him through the phone.
