Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 04, 2022

So Kelley dumped Kaz?

Trans guy with more than a 50 yard kicking range. Riiiiiight.

How will Mel react to Gil inviting Tobias onto the football team? Based on her history, she’ll probably try to trick Gil into bed, and then two decades later she’ll scream at Gil in a restaurant for his refusal to let Tobias be on the football team.

How will she react!?

(cough) half your age (cough)

So are Kaz and Rachel married, engaged or what? “Rachel if you’ll not transport us I will take you for my wife …” Predict that Toby makes long 4th quarter FG, subsequently successful onside kick, and second long FG to win it. And somewhere in there, touchdown saving tackle of opponent’s return man.

Didn’t the last storyline involving a kicker result in Milford becoming the Mudlarks?

Keri is looking resplendent in the jewelry she “borrowed” from Big Hairy Hand Luke during her recent visit with the Martinez family.

P4 “Who know’s Kaz? The woman’s batsh*t crazy. Has been for as long as I have known her.”

Gil and Kaz oblivious as Keri chokes on a bagel.

So Kelly tapped a few keys several years ago and showed up a recent Christmas post with Kaz, Mimi and Gil. We deserve to know what happened to her Hank

P1: Kaz’s sideburns are out of control.

P2: Is Keri nudging Gil to tell him to STFU? “You weren’t so concerned about my happiness when I was in SE Asia working 18 hours a day to supply you with more Milford merch.”

P3: Nice segue, not!

Keri’s a two-fisted bagel eater with another one on her plate. Mimi’s warning did no good at all.

Is it me or is the strip trying a little too hard? Trying to integrate the kids after years of nothing. Trying to bring in more social issues. Trying to create more off-the-field drama (Gil and Mimi, Gill and Luke). I can just hear the initial meeting…“Boy, we are going to make some loooonnnnggg overdue changes.” Are these changes going to bring in new readers or just irritate existing ones?

P-4: Kaz goes to his desk and gets a brand new Loofa for Gil to present to Toby.

Did I miss all the COVID story lines?

What in the world is “quarintine”?

What’s the conflict? Controversy is when trans women competing with biological women, because of the belief that they have an unfair advantage. A trans man makes a man’s team? Impressive.

Kaz, you shouldn’t be standing anywhere near me when Mel finds out. In all reality , I’m leaving Milford tonight , you’re the new head coach ! Let Hank know ,bye !

Maybe Lucky Racheal owns the apartment and that is how Kaz can afford to live there

Vito from Goshen has money pouring in for action after posting Toby prop bets on the Big Board. This could be record-setting. After spotting Kaz’s possible nail polish in P1, you can now bet on whether Kaz will become Jazz at his next school.

Why the nudge?? More confusing panels

What? Why is she nudging him?

More bagels, peas, and potatoes please

Did not know Chantel Jones was going to Milford.

P3- Tobias was an eager beaver. Now, not so much.

So, let me get this straight, being vegan means you only eat doughnuts? Where do I sign up?

P 1.5: “…because now I get bagels, donuts, and bear claws every single day at home and don’t have to go to Swifti Mart for such indulgences…”

Has anyone noticed the shrewd economic strategy Gil and Mimi have adopted ever since the kids showed up…errrrr…returned home? They have conveniently arranged to send the kids to other houses (Martinezes and now Kaz and Rachel’s) for dinner. Nice way to keep costs at home down in these inflationary times.

So is Keri nudging Gil because they aren’t glad to see him happy, or is Gil nudging Keri because her “choke” implied she doesn’t like this chick for whatever reason? Well, either way it’s giving Keri a massive dose of EES. And speaking of massive, today’s Mopped Up Thorp has a massive number of cameo appearances. Well, if you consider two massive that is.

Anyway, Kelley got a haircut and now she wants me to call her Rachel…
