Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 13, 2021

Be optimistic, Chance. Maybe you’re being offered an opportunity to transfer to a more interesting strip!

Ketchup packets! That’s actually funny! Would they announce calling him over the PA if it was some kind of family crisis?

“And put that water bottle down, v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.”

“All right, ‘Chance’ we found you enrolled in Milford High under an assumed name. We demand to know your real name!”

“Isidore Fenwick Douche.”

“Okay, Isidore, why did you fill out the form claiming your name was Chance Macy?”

“Uh, Isn’t that obvious?”

3.5- Eric Stratton: I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part!

Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.

Is it “Mustache Monday” at Milford High School?

Whatever Chance’s problem is, Gil will be ready to get involved

Here’s hoping he doesn’t get suspended for bringing a plastic knife to cut his lunch!

Kris Kringle has Covid, your rich uncle wants you to be Santa in this years parade. “Miracle Whip on 34th Strip”.

Chance Macy you graduated last year. Why are you still here. And no HS does not have 5th year seniors.

P-1: “Boyd been” hey, that’s not too racist a way to show a black kid’s speech.

P-3: Milford students are shocked by a voice coming out of the ceiling area. Milford HS finally has a PA system!

Boyd’s also got one sure-fire way to drip ketchup on his shirt.

“Boyd, what does it look like when someone’s about to get blowtop mad?!?”

P2.5 “He’s off color today, Saturday his shirt was aqua, today it’s blue.”

It’d be kind of funny if there was no story this season. Just a bunch of random things that happen as the football team goes through the season.

Well today sure was a lot of random nothing. It’s like the writer is just stalling for time. And speaking of stalling, I wasn’t stalling today, but couldn’t get to today’s Mopped Up Thorp until late.
