Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 06, 2023

If you have to fly all the way out to the Golden Apple store in LA, then the comic books aren’t exactly “free”.

First Kareem Abdul Jabbar, now “Steenz”. Who will come slumming into this strip next?

Why do I have no clue about what’s happening in this strip anymore? Must be my meds!

P2- Gil is asking a total stranger if she/they wants his autograph? How presumptuous on his part. Not everyone knows of the Great Gil Thorp.And the way strip is going fewer and fewer people will.

“Their fit is giving me life. I love heart!”

I have no idea what this random word salad could possibly mean.

RABBIT HOLE ALERT! I knew four straight days of sports was too much for Henry.

I’m afraid to admit I’m beginning to feel symptoms of LWS. Lukey Withdrawal Syndrome.

and now for something completely different…

???

“Their fit is giving me life?” WHAT the heck does that mean?

Most important, Happy Derby Day GT Snarkers. Like Ignatz, I searched for Ann and Nancy. I’ve heard Ann and Nancy, I’ve seen Ann and Nancy. You Steenz may have heart, but you’re no Heart.

No autographs please, no matter how big a fan of Mopped Up Thorp you are.

Store window sign: We have Best of Gil Thorp while supplies last!

I didn’t think it was possible, but I think I aged out of the Gil Thorp comic strip.

For a second I thought this was going to be a commercial for he yearlong Gil Thorp compilation book.

What teen has their “daddy” take them to a comic book store? I thought that Jami was supposed to be the geeky one.

Sign Man goes nationwide with the excellent “Free Comic Book Day” sign he made for The Golden Apple. Excellent touch with the Astro Boy poster in the window. Those are about the only two things I can relate to in today’s strip.

P3: I do as well. “Barracuda” is my favorite song they did.

The only thing this strip is missing is a can of Bud Light.

Is Kerri holding Gil’s hand as they walk in? That’s just weird and creepy at her age.

Off Topic: Anybody know why the notifications still show even after you’ve read and dismissed them? I keep seeing the red numbers for the same notifications I’ve already read.

Elephant (old man) in the room question: Who is Steenz?

Episode 15 of Milford After Dark is online.
