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

Since that aquatic construction in P1 appears to have a maximum capacity of about 8 people, does it qualify as a swimming pool or as a hot tub?

SPLASH is not as good as WICK.

Where’s Pedro?

Mimi can drink lying down? Or is that, Dorothy??

What year was this drawn and written? Working where teenage girls and young adults bathe/swim/sun for the past decade, I have never seen a young female in a suit that was not at least “cheeky” if not whale tail or thong. even those in their 50s and 60s are wearing less than the representative sampling in today’s strip.

I think it’s Dorothy. If it were Emily, Ericka would be hangin around with a wine bottle

“Pop off, my liege”? Who talks like that?

Definitely Dorothy. She even smells pretty at the pool. Must be the combination of chlorine and SPF 50.

Looks like Dotty Dubbs grew a healthy set of lungs over the summer.

Meanwhile back at juvie, ToBe and Rod begin week seven of a three week sentence as they wait for Mel to finish her “date” with the guard she picked up after the football game.

Anyone have a pack of Black Cat firecrackers?

Well, what have we here? ACKKKKK! Too young, too young! Pedro off to find the MILFs!

P 2.5 (Dorothy): “…excuse me?…I’m not like that Keri…”

In all reality , has Memaw passed away yet ? Inquiring minds want to know !

P 4 (guy in pool with Baby Ruth bar): “…hey!….it’s ok!…”

P3 Is Arm & Handthrust Girl a distant relative of Fistpump Family?

Yes, readers, she’s not ready for the Drama, but what about the Comedy, the Mystery, the Tragedy? Tuned in tomorrow for Thorp Theater Presents!

And in today’s edition: absolutely nothing of any consequence happened.

Who’s the loser boy splashing into the pool wearing a tee shirt? I would have guessed Jami but this is too cool an event for him. And when Keri said “pop off my liege” at first I was wondering if liege was a fancy word for her top. And speaking of fancy, there is nothing fancy about today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

That must be Pedro in p.1, because he can’t find that wide-open girl in p.3…
