Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 27, 2022

But hey, if they arm teachers like the MAGA cementheads want, then the oldster who didn’t get the message is just going to whip out his piece and blow away the befuddled actor, right?

Who does this teacher think he is, anyway – Coach Kaz, the nightclub bouncer?

Let’s hope one of Gil’s linemen creates a double team on the shooter. Am dying (pun intended) to find out whether this is a drill or not. And where IS Kaz when you need him? “We need heroes. Like the Lone Ranger. With Tonto came pronto, when there was danger.”

Man, I never thought I’d see a fight between Orville Reddenbacher and an armed Jim Varney here. Maybe in “Cathy,” but not here. Ack!

P3 Orville Redenbacher and his fearless, intrepid army of ants spring on the armed attacker. Nice pop Orville!

I’m guessing ex-military with PTSD. Gunfire set him off.

This is the most unrealistic training scenario ever conceived. No agency would ever fire a weapon in a drill inside a school classroom. And, since the artist either doesn’t know what a blank firing adapter is or how to draw one, it appears that live rounds are being fired which not only makes it more dangerous, but illegal as well. This is beyond stupid.

Looks like a semi auto AR15. It takes ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Sans the Batman sound effects, Mr. Redenbacher went balls to the wall. Go old school!

If we ever get to see any football action again this year, with hits like that perhaps Gil will hire Orville, aka Dick Butkus, to coach his linebackers,

Vito from Goshen already promoting the Orville vs. Herk the Mauler match. His business is way off since Milford discontinued sports. Even Kaz is leaving.

Well, no football again means there goes fourth place in the Valley Conference.

Madame Yonkers picked a good day to call in sick.

P-1: Please, that song was bad enough when Cher sang it!

P-2: Keri protects her most valuable assets, her earrings.

P-3: “I want a brave man, I want a cave man” (kind of taking a song lyric and a class literally).

Tomorrow: All the fun ends as the EMS arrives after Orville suffers a fatal Heart Attact. (Boy who can’t see this coming from the preacher)

Orville keeps a messy desk. How did Keri get there.

This week is a bummer. Not sure if this is what I read comics for.

That breach of school protocol could cost the teacher his job; conversely it might save the lives of the 20 kids in his class.

Batman is not around, so Alfred leaps into action!

And Orville gives the crisis actor a real life concussion. And speaking of real life, the real life action was too much to do a Mopped Up Thorp today, so we get episode 6 of Sign Man and Fistpump Man, with a special cameo performance.

If this is a real “active shooter” situation, the gunman is stupid in more ways than one, doing this the very day after an active shooter drill.

I’ve finally realized that some readers here can read words, and some can’t, but they go by the pictures. That’s interesting.

How stupid! What kind of a “drill” horrifies young, emotionally immature teenagers by shooting blank ammo? Sure do hope a few students will help the instructor pummel this ‘actor’ and make these idiots think twice about pulling stunts like this.
