Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 15, 2023

Wait until you see the showers and camera system.

Yes and unlimited loofas in the change room

And thanks to the fundraising vape sales.

Pop, the MHS custodian — from 1958! Welcomed Gil to Milford and encouraged his rebuild of the football program. Well done Henry.

In all reality , how old is Gil ?

Luke’s $500 went a long way!

Lukey will officially become a Milford man when he is presented his very own leather wristwatch band like Gil and Kaz.

Special P2 shoutout to two of cinemas greatest divas/stars – Bette Davis and Liz Taylor. “What a dump!”

P 4 (Gil): “…that Mopman guy that slinks around here now could have learned a thing or two from Pop…”

Meanwhile, in Meemaw’s death chamber….

P3.5 “Father of Mopman, our current janito…errr…facilities services technician. Oh, and you and your hairy hand better not start that shedding sh!t, Mop will go off the rails and hunt you down with his flamethrower, Luke.”

There obviously wasn’t enough left in the budget to pay Sign Man enough for a high quality job on the office window though.

Did he go the “weasel”?

I wonder what Kaz is thinking now? Is Luke still working the night shift at Milford Detention Center?

The big guy reaps the rewards of the fund raising crimes whilst the little guys do the time! Some things never change.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Gil is teaching new Mudlark wresting coach Luke Hernandez why he can be so magnanimous: because he and Milford have deep financial resources that make life much more comfortable. It’s easy to be kind to your defeated foes when, win or lose, your facilities make Valley Tech’s look like some kind of makeshift concentration camp. And all Milford has to do to secure this bounty is humor “Pop,” the local eccentrically dressed billionaire who’s happy to underwrite the athletic department’s every whim, so long as he gets to hunt one underperforming junior for sport on his private island every semester.

Ooh, ooh, am I in today’s strip? Oh come on, how long is this going to take?

Nice, huge, Fickled Finger of Fate today. Well done, Whigham.

Hey, is that Pop from the original The Longest Yard? He looked quite distinguished before he got locked up. And speaking of locked up, if you’re currently locked up, you’ve got plenty of time to read today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.

(You’ll need to add back in the two missing “.”)

This strip needs an editors note almost everyday.

Boy, this strip has really jumped the shark—Pop Wiggans wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a bow tie!

“Around here, we welcome failure like The Prodigal Son.”

P 4 (Gil): “..he was called ‘pop’ but really, that’s Millard Fillmore Milford, the founder of this town and long-time high school custodian…”

This strip is becoming so lame it needs to be put down like a limping horse . Yesterday Coach Luke recognizes a student named Pete Davidson but doesn’t know where his office is ???!!!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cartoonist so helpful that he put in the date of the strip we need to read.

Jaja!
