Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 14, 2023

Keri laughs as she says she should tell Pedro, knowing he is halfway to Ecuador.

All her friends are conveniently in her class, all sitting around her.

Ah, youth. So young and carefree. P3 reminds me of a cigarette ad. Alive with pleasure.

Keri and her gang celebrate by firing up a pack of Newports?

It’s time for Darby Kiser and her man child Jaxon to make an appearance. Remember Darby was a HS age single mom who pitched softball and that meathead Bobby Ottewill was trying to, ahem, woo her.

note to mom: Having your grandkid, wish you were here.

What’s the teacher doing during all of this? In P2 Imma leaves her seat and sits in I-forget-her-name’s lap, and in P3 Dorothy gets up and grabs Keri from behind. It’s anarchy!

Also looks like Dorothy has been pumping iron recently and lengthened her arms. She’s planning to be a force in volleyball. And speaking of forces, nobody is forcing you to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. But you should anyway.

P 4: “… but don’t call us after you have your baby…”

If this were one of the ‘soap opera’ strips, (Judge Parker; Mary Worth; Rex Morgan, M.D.) this would all be a normal story line, but it’s so far away from the dynamic of this sports oriented strip it renders it unrecognizable from its roots. I have no idea why the syndicate or the editors are allowing this to happen.

I guess this means Keri’s swimming season is a washout.

Seems like a good time for a typical National Lampoon ending, ‘And they all got run over by a big truck’.

“Can he handle it?” Keri sighs. “Can he ever!”

So Pedro doesn’t know that she lost the swim meet?

Look how happy everyone is! Yaya! Their friend can get an abortion!

I wonder if this will be enough to get Mimi to put down the s’more wine bottle, ditch that scuzz bag Ericka, and come home and take care of her kids for a change.

P4 Keri: “I figure that telling you this now, the entire school will know what a sl*t I am by the end of the day.”

What? Dad said I could tell the rest of my story after school. Now he’s taking Keri somewhere? This isn’t fair.

I’m predicting it was a false positive. If I’m right, my prediction percentage will rise to about 3%.

Maybe Mel should take her,

As a fundraiser, in all reality, the Athletic Department is holding a Pick The Delivery Date raffle. Entries are $ 1 per chance and the person who picks the delivery date or closest to it receives half of the proceeds. Congratulations Keri , who the baby Daddy?

meanwhile meemaw under the bleachers laments shes too young to be a great grandma

luke tells pedro they need someone to work concessions at the museum if its really his kid

dorothy you might smell pretty but if you keep on doing steroids you will end up with the hulk hogan hairline

I’m telling you this because I know you can handle it. The Milford (OH) Eagles posted a 27-0 win over visiting West Clermont last night. With their second shoutout in a row and the third in the last four games, Milford’s defense is proving to be far more reliable than Keri Thorp’s IUD. The #5 ranked Eagles in the Ohio AP poll and Division 1, Region 4’s #1 playoff seed moves to 9-0 overall, 8-0 for first in the Valley (aka Eastern Cincinnati Conference) while impregnating Milford’s fans with the hope of a state championship this season.

Episode 37 of Milford After Dark is now online.
