Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 19, 2023

Making a “are you drunk after that ROOT beer?” wisecrack at Gil is like trying to insult the presidents on Mt. Rushmore.

Displaying as much of a sense of humor as the four marbleheads, coach.

Gil should consider putting a Sharpie X on the back of each hand a la Dan Reynolds.

Wild Tchoupitoulas:

“If you don’t like what the big boss say… jockamo fee na nay!”

Did Gil find out the Vaping scheme?! Does he also play magic instead of vaping? DRAMA!

“Try out for baseball?” Didn’t ToBe already attend the first joint baseball/softball practice? Is the author forgetting things that happened just a few days ago?

Cue up Adam Ant, You don’t drink, don’t vape, what do you do?

“I don’t drink . . .” When did former state champ Gilpa get on the wagon? Less than a year ago he was pounding Old Fashions and getting introduced to Big Hand Luke. Maybe the Moonman got to him and convinced him of the error of his ways. Naaah, more likely Henry just can’t remember where he’s going or where he’s been.

The Gilfather may be perceived as unassuming, even clueless. But GilPa remains well connected and crossing him adds to the body count at the Milford CC road hole bunker and Carbone Cave.

I thought there was a Hoo Dad hard root beer with 15% alcohol content. I guess you just mix it yourself.

Maybe Gil got into some painkillers that he swiped from Rod’s bedside

At least Mr. Reality can take his daily walk without fear today. It’s only him and ToBe riding his bike. What could possibly go wrong?

Too much Toby — need some new character(s).

Gil tipped off to the scheme by the cases of empty HooDads that Rod had been Grubhubbing in with his vape cash!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………

Wait, why did ToBe say that in P2? It must be true, that was Hard HooDad™ that they were pounding! Gil gets away with a lot, but that seems over the top. And speaking of the top, you can’t top today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
