Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 02, 2023

You should see the other guy…that line gets funnier EVERY time I hear it.

Milford Therapy Group. Dial HELP-NOW.

That mighty one black eye , in all reality , I’d rather fight than switch !

They built it at night?

Cami is the school psychologist now too???

P 3 (counselor): “… sorry kid… that ain’t ever gonna happen in this strip…”

You mean they spent more than a day and this podunk hicktown is all they came up with?

This strip is in serious need of “HELP”

Wearing a pipe wrench. No, wait. A skull.

Gee, thanks Hank for updating us on Keri’s fragile condition after the active shooter drill almost what, 6 months ago? Maybe you can get us back to Emily’s blossoming career as an LPGA wannabe in the Arizona desert.

P1- What is so mighty about the black eye? Mighty big? Mighty swollen? Mighty black? Mighty stupid? Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Milford wasn’t built in a day, but Milford After Dark was.

P 2.5 (Keri): “…and to help me chill, I’ve been vaping this stuff that I bought off of a couple of daddy’s players…they’re really nice guys and give me a good price on it…”

P-1: Therapy Group = 1 Councilor & one Wack Job

P-2: Well now, OK, Keri’s on drugs! That explains one character.

P-3: She wants to be normal again. Um, uh, Keri, you haven’t been normal since your parents sent you to Asia as cultural exchange student, er factory worker…ok slave. If you want to be normal, get the %^*#@ out of the funny papers.

P 3 (Cami): “…Keri…you’re doing the work…now go have your mom take you shopping and get some new earrings, some new jeans, and get rid of that nose stud…that will go a long way in making you normal again…”

This is your brain on drugs

Group? I don’t see no stinkin’ group!

“…and put on some sunglasses so you don’t look like a criminal or child abuse victim…”

So picking up a prescription is work? No wonder I’m always tired.

How did Keri go from sitting on the counselor’s left side to suddenly sitting on her right side?

Man that fight was viscous. Besides the black eye, her jeans were ripped to shreds. And speaking of shreds, if you have a shred of decency you’ll read and appreciate today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp.
