Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 11, 2023

Keeping up with the plot lines in this comic strip will give you whiplash!

You’re not bothering me….you’re the most important thing in my…sorry, I have to take this…

The Road Runner must be calling.

You’re not bothering me…we’re not in bed…

Me thinks somebody may be preggers.

If she is “in a family way,” have we any clue who the father might be?

P3 “Ill be home tomorrow night, so I’ll see you…how about in two weeks after next Thursday?”

Plot? What plot.

P1.5 “Except when you call me like this…or…when you walk into the same room I’m in…or when you want something…or when you speak to me…or call me Emily…”

. Keri is preggers; or 2. she just had a bad break up after momboing on the mattress;

Emily: “… have you talked to your father?… hahahaaaaaa…”

Are we re-visiting the pregnant teen storyline or is Henry throwing us a red herring? Maybe we’ll at least find out if Milford is in a red or blue state.

What parent goes off to a beautiful warm location to golf with a golf pro she met last year while her kids need parental stability and structure? A golf pro that plays with two gloves like Tommy Gainey. Annddd Mimi is wearing a glove on the wrong hand. Reminds me of Elwood Blues and Jake in the restaurant and Elwood insists on champagne in a water glass.

This looks like a job for …… Mary Worth!!

“Gil will also call me in 3, 2, 1” Beep Beep.

I’m having a hard time figuring out which one of these biotches I dislike more. Even Ericka is ticking me off as the conniving home wrecker with her over the glasses disdainful look at the Mimster.

“We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your vehicle’s extended warranty.”

In all reality, way to go Henry ! This storyline has so many chances to become a classic. Keep up the good work.

P 4 (Ericka thought bubble): “… oh great… I knew at some point that these kids were gonna be a problem…”

P 1: she bothers everyone else though

Is that her mother? She calls her ‘Emily?’ And mom is off on a getaway with her female “friend?” What happened to this strip?

“Hey Mom, what kind of warranty did you get on that IUD you bought for me?”

She found out the hard way that being non binary doesn’t change physical laws.

Too bad she didn’t hook up with Tobe. Then she’d be golden

I think they need to do an audit of the Athletic Department. Mimi is back in Arizona Gil might have taken the money from the lift a than

Better also check for MeeMaw she must be buried in the backyard by now

Jamie is on his own with his mother gone so he may be taking up the Vape sales

what happen to the big meet someone drain the pool ?

just relax and have a hoodad root beer keri it makes a rough week better

Did she really say “Sorry but I have to take this. Beep Beep”?

That’s cold.

Ericka this has been enough golf lets get back to your pad and get down to why we really came here

I thought Ericka was living with the Thorps now. But apparently she and Mimi are back in Scottsdale instead?

“That dumb Gil Thorp’s really a crazy clown…

Road runner!!!!!!

The cell call is for you

Road runner!!!!!!

If Amelia’s here, you’re through”

P4 – Mimi: “Did you seriously just say ‘beep beep’ to pretend you had a call waiting?” And speaking of call waiting, ignore any call waitings you may have and read today’s Mopped Up Thorp right now.

With this strips continuity Mom (excuse me Emily) will get home sometime in the next week or two if we’re lucky.

The Colonel steps on the golf course

“Stop this plot!!!!! It’s sil-laaaayyy. I’ll not have two women with no purpose in life but to tee off then commit egregious adultery on the greens when the kids are in bed, in a manner of speaking, and Gil is drinking Beth’s doubles while on night watch at Heehaw’s pad. Not under my command.And Ladies, no kissy-facing and tongue-lashing when you make par. Sil-lay, sil-lay. Move along, move along…”

I think I might need to hurrle.
