Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 09, 2023

Don’t go near the Swifty Mart…

P2: He has so much alcohol in him his hand burns.

“These Here S’mores” are producing Snores. Y’all come back tomorrow, hear?

I’d prefer S’Less of this and S’More sports

It’s alright, kids, the plot next to Boo’s is open. I expect Milford’s big enough to have more than one Little Free Library too.

♪♫ Walk-in’ back from Dead Man’s Curve…. ♪♫

Well, looks like the starting lineup is out.

This is a rip roarin’ traditional team bonfire with all of five people. Maybe its the first annual since it has such a low turn out? Were they supposed to bring dates since there is only one non-boys basketball team member (sorry, not sure what pronoun to use to refer to characters in this strip anymore) shown?

Why am I getting the original Lynyrd Skynyrd “Street Survivor” album cover vibe from today’s episode?

No wonder there’s such confusion about who’s who in this subplot. Half of them are wearing masks.

Speedco has buy one get one free beef jerky. Great when one washes it down with Blasto.

P3.5 “Besides, I’m busy working on settling in at third.”

Someone has had 1/3 too many cans of Hoo Hard Seltzer.

Gil better hope that Tobe doesn’t get hurt in a car accident else Mel is gonna be really really mad at him for not “watching over her Toby”

Get water into him? He’s drunk not dehydrated. What’s water supposed to do?

I’m “hiccup” wondering what Gil’s going to do for a team once all these kids get suspended.

Looks like Dorothy and To Be want to have them s’more alone time. Sorry Keri, it’s Not To Be for you.

The excitement is killing me.

And nobody has the sense to either take the keys from him or not get in the car?

I gotz to get paid !!!!

To quote that old classic Leader of the Pack: “WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT!!!”

With the size of that fire, you could melt a marshmallow from about 10 feet away

In all reality , I don’t think that this scenario is going to end well for me .

I suspect we’re being set up for an ‘art imitates life’ moment as the drink kid with the keys plows into the tree and kills himself……or somebody else.

All six of these characters changed their jackets and scarfs. And Dorothy changed her pants. What’s up with that?

P2- I’ll bet that “7” neck tatoo was painfull.

What is this? A PSA gone awry? Two PSA’s for the price of one?

Smokey Bear with an empty can of Bud in his paw

“Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires. And while you’re at it, don’t drink and drive. Put this Bud and the Diamond Wooden Matches in the trunk or you’ll be burning more than S’mores while you’re drinking Nescafé to sober up.”

“Brought to you by the Ad Council and WDIG.”

To bad Keri isn’t playing Teen Angel. With the line “they found you with my five gaudy rings clutched in your hand.”

But what about the s’mores? Won’t anybody think of the s’mores? And speaking of thinking, you should be thinking about reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
