Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 04, 2023

OK Boomers just whip ‘em out for comparison and get this sword fight over with so we can get back to the kids.

They’re definitely hot for each other.

These are two adults, right?

Morph to hockey dressing room scene in “Sudden Death”?

I bench press 30 pounds for 11 reps = 330, beats that guy that only does 1 with 300 pounds.

P1- At most, 35lbs. each, bar is 45lbs., 115lbs.. And Luke is the first in GT to experience EHS, Exploding Heart Syndrome.

Oh, please, let Luke drop the barbell on his thick skull and knock some sense into him.

Are those cymbals on the barbell in panel 1? I have never seen such thin weights on a barbell before. If those are knees at the bottom of panel 2 someone is in an awkward spotting position. Maybe an inspiration for Thorp After Dark?

Today’s strip is definitely a three quarter effort.

Next, Coach Narcissus will talk smack about Gil’s shirt. Doesn’t everyone know he’s the “#1 Dad”?

P 3 (Gil): “… YOU give it up, little guy…”

Wait, Gil is sitting down and lifting that weight over his head? Seems rather impossible and extremely dangerous. At the least he’s going to wreck his back. And speaking of backs, Mopped Up Thorp is back.

Today’s comic has a gay vibe.

Maybe two people talking at a diner would be a better plotline ?

What kind of lift is Gil doing?? To compete wouldn’t the 2 participants have to do the same lift. I thought they were just lifting weights to fulfil pledges, not compete.

They have more chemistry with each other than their wives. Just an observation

P1- Sorry, but lifting the bar off the rack doesn’t count.

P2- #1 DUD

P3- Who’s going to blink first? Then it’s on to rock, paper, scissors.

P4- Dr Pearl and Meemaw are getting impatient.

Sunday’s Episode 6 of Milford After Dark is online.
