Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 27, 2024

P2a: …but we are kicking her off of every sports team for the rest of her life.

Not on my watch…nanu nanu.

Coming soon: The Gil-father vs Milford Board of Education.

What spotlight? Does Milford have the Internet now? The last thing to go viral was smallpox.

Why do I have a Feeling the School Administration isn’t going to agree with Gil’s Opinion??

Again, another contrived media conversation, at least one that would not happen in these parts. High Schools here never comment on potential disciplinary matters, which are handled internally without comment to the media about the specific impact on a student or students who are involved.

Thank you for your service Henry…errrr…Gil.

In all reality , Get the H#LL off the gym floor with those street shoes on! Mop works hard to keep them shining. You know better Gil !

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know

Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta

Hey man, I gotta straighten my face

This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Hey man, my schooldays insane

Hey man, my work’s down the drain

Hey man, well she’s a total blam-blam

She said she had to squeeze it but she then she

Oh don’t lean on me man, ‘cause you can’t afford the ticket

I’m back on Suffragette City.

Semper Fi GT.

Will someone please explain to me what was so controversial about her comment and why this chucklehead talking to Gil GAFs so much about it? If anything, it’s Moon’s mouth that’s controversial.

P4:

Gil: “I brought a friend of mine to explain it a little more. Colin?”

P5: Colin Kaepernick: “Thanks, Gil! And I brought a friend of mine to kick things off. Robert?”

P6:Robert Gates: “Thanks, Colin!

Maybe Rickshaws parents will call HvB. Then she will be able to get away with anything and the school board will back down and shake like a scared chihuahua

“What about the kid who punched his coach in the stomach?”“I served weekends in the National Guard to protect his right to punch guys with permed mullets.”

Lesson learned on a Saturday. Let’s leave everything up in the air and start baseball on Monday.

Not your call, Gil. Thank you for stating your opinion freely.

“As long as she keeps winning she can say whatever she wants.”

“Not on….my watch! My watch! One of these little punks stole my watch!”

irma is gonna be in the royal rumble tonight check it out on peacock

gil looks fit as a fiddle today

gil almost did the live long and prosper hand sign spock would almost be proud

P-1: We learn Milford is so small, it fits in a spotlight.

P-2: Gil will not endanger his Fit Bit time piece by suspending students from it.

P-3: The dementia sets in as Gil has a flashback to the ’50’s.

Must be an even slower news day in Milford it that’s even possible

Since when is expressing a desire for a cease fire “controversial?”

“Hey, Coach Thorp, I hear your daughter just had an abortion? Will she face any consequences?”

So what about that exchange from yesterday? What did that have to do with anything? And what about the students who assaulted the coach? HELLO?! Anyone?

I am not sure I read comics strips for Civics lessons..

Watch out Gil, Elise Stefanik may be comin for ya. What does the Mudlarks’ Code of Conduct say?

P 2.5: Gil looks at goofball reporter, doesn’t say anything, and just walks away.

Is this before or after the game with handsy Hernandez?

Gilbot 9000 has been pretty self-righteous this week, lecturing Luke, Coach Hernandez and now the reporter asking another stupid, inappropriate question.

yea, though I disagree with what you are saying, with my life I will defend your right to say it. Oh, and in most Shi’a controlled countries Inma would be flogged for participating in a male sport.

Henry – This is for you. I give up. Your Gil Thorp comic strip is no longer understandable. I have tried since you took over — to no avail. You should only have 1-2 story lines going at once. I have no problem with the nature of the story lines — it is fine to make the strip more socially relevant. But when one can’t easily follow the stories, doesn’t remember who the characters without going back in time, etc., etc., etc., then it just doesn’t make sense to keep reading. This is sad for me because I have read the comic strip faithfully since. the mid 1960’s. Please understand that the strip is not a novel – where someone can sit down over a relatively short period of time and digest the many subplots. I hope that you make some changes in your approach, because right now, to be frank, it has become incomprehensible.

What is even more sad about your approach is that you are failing in your apparent mission. My guess is that you are attempting to bring certain issues to the forefront so as to help people broaden their minds – a worth mission. Instead, the difficulties in understanding the strip either frustrates or turns off those that you are trying to reach. I fully expect that you have an audience that applauds you in what you are doing and your approach, but reaching only the like-minded does not accomplish your mission.

Good luck.

Why are they asking Gil about this? Shouldn’t they be grilling Coach Hernandez about his propensity for punching parents? And speaking of punching, I’m punching out for today now that the day’s Mopped Up Thorp is complete.

Yeah so did I, but you need to chose your forum / platform wisely.

A long overdue appearance of Sign Man and Fistpump Man is online.
