Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 05, 2021

Avery Schreiber looks unhappy. Know what I mean….Yeah….Huh?….Yeah….Huh?….Yeah! Yeah! I know!

And why does she need to hold up a finger to make that statement? Man, this guy LOVES to draw hands and fingers…

P1: How many times did that nose get broken? If so, why did she ask the dr. for the Jimmy Durante? Hot cha cha! She’s got a million of ’em…

Mr. Robrito’s light bulb goes on. Library Board to consider Spanish section?

P1 Is it "at the “Britos’?” Or “at the Burritos’?”

P2 They are sending an undocumented repairman tomorrow! By the way is this a Tom Selleck cameo appearance???!!!

“But at the library they have filters that won’t allow me to go to some of the websites I need for my, uh, work!”

“Exactly what work were you doing, mi corazon?”

P1 Breakfast at Brito’s – we learn Mr. Brito’s first name and that while it appears Mrs. Brito is no technical expert, her studies preparing for digital exams looks to be paying off, as is the extra attention with cultivating the ‘stache

P2 The cable company will be here tomorrow sometime between 1PM and eternity Abel, now how about grunting one out, giving it a courtesy flush and get out of here

P3 The Alternative to working at home in Milford is working remotely from the library? Has the pandemic reached Milford with this new story arc? Why not just go to work to do work? Will it be a coincidence that Abel Brito goes to the library and discovers the posting for the library board job? Will he apply and find a new, enriching career? Is that a tube top Mrs. B is wearing over her t-shirt?

Sooooo many intriguing questions, real or imagined, that GT snarkers need and want answers to – or not

Get him his internet or he might do something rash. Like invade Kuwait

So…the parents of Zane’s girlfriend have a broken internet router?

Is there a story here?

P2- Who does number 2 work for? Bite your lip and give it hell. You show that turd whose boss Abel. That Tom Arnold, what an actor.

In all reality , I know Abe visiting the darkest of dark places on the Internet, being mistaken Gordon Liddy make you happy and so does terminating people with extreme prejudice . Why don’t you scout around Milford for some Black Ops you can do while you wait for the repairman ?

I’m so glad we’re getting back to the library. Maybe we can figure out what’s going on with the library board.

P 4 thought cloud: “hmmmmph….the websites that I like to look at are all blocked at the library…”

Mrs. Brito is one fugly woman. And Abe is no catch either. How did they get such a perky cute daughter?

P1, Abel is the name of the cable company?

P2, Yeah, don’t wait up for that repairman.

P3, Gomez Addams, " I love it when you speak French, Tish! Oh wait, that’s Spanish. Oh, who cares, they’re both European!"

They repair routers? I thought you just swapped them out for new ones that cost more.

Well that was riveting, glad I didn’t miss it…

Obviously they don’t have phone included in their internet package. Hmmm… use your cell phone’s mobile data to connect your computer. Or try unplugging the router and plugging it back in.

“I have work to do! I was preparing to post at least two dozen snarky comments about the stupid non-ending of the Vic and Tessi story arc!”

Library budget cuts by the Board eliminated free WiFi

How about just connecting the computer directly to the modem with an ethernet cable? Not snarky enough? OK, never mind, insert library joke here.

Wow, the whole town is missing Mopman who moonlights as an IT guy.

Zzzzzzz….

Unplug it and plug it back in! Dopes! If that doesn’t work buy a new one. Jeeesh.

Damn the router, I’d be worrying about that hulk that’s looking in the window.

Is there any particular reason why Mrs. Brito wears sunglasses on her forehead indoors? Does her scalp have some sort of sensitivity to LED lighting?

Sure that Kenny Lark’s mom wore sunglasses on top of her head. She was a huge Corey Hart fan. Not the MLB player, the singer.

P 3….Is that supposed to be a horizontal stripe on her sweater or is it more boob shadow?

Abel Brito decides to only use his initials from now on and hooks up with Betty Anderson to form a new singing group that’s really popular among the Nordic target audience

P-1: Mrs. Brito calls for a slider, up and inside.

P-2: Abel is about to respond when his probiotic kicks in giving him “work to do”.

P-3: When her pitch is waived off, Mrs. B initiates a sneaky maneuver she learned playing Assassin’s Creed with her daughter.

Is that better, Irish?

Coaches Held Hostage: Mimi, Day 14. Last seen driving by the bucket to celebrate her team’s loss in the playdowns, wearing a purple jacket and pink scarf.

Whoo hoo, the classic big finger to start off our week. So who had Mr. Brito in the pool to predict who would fill the coveted Library Board opening? Nobody? Well somehow this will cause problems with his daughter. Maybe her boyfriend has been on the lam since Freshman year due to some overdue books. His dad will discover this and turn him in, ruining the baseball team and the softball team when his daughter becomes despondent. And speaking of despondent, you may have been growing despondent thinking Mopped Up Thorp wasn’t coming today. Well fear not, it is here!
