Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 24, 2024

I’m somehow guessing we won’t see “Mom” or “Robin” in Monday’s strip…

They sent for the commissioner and they didn’t get him, or even Batman, just Robin.

Jami plays airplane.

Gil’s mom? She must be 110 years old. WTF is Robin? And why does Gil continue to wear his watch on his LEFT hand?

P4: “Hi, Gil, I’m baseball’s Robin Yount. I’ve been giving your mom a daily ride on my mustache.”

Hello Gil. Time for an intervention.

It would be awesome if they were both leaving for good.

Haha… Gil sez “text me” like he knows what that means

I’m sure all this soap opera garbage is just filler while the writer actually learns the basics of sports.

P1- For sure? 90’s Keri is ready for life with her Hello Kitty backpack.

P2- Is Kami visiting Kareem? Or Leo Ahzoutite?

P3- You Snarkers got it all wrong. Mom is Gil’s pet name for Dr. Pearl. Annddd she brought that parasite hanger on Robin Leach in for an off panel cameo.

Who’s Robin?

P-1: Very busy panel with a typo to add to the confusion. Jami is going to be a Safety Patrol Boy for Home Schoolers. While someone typed Gil’s balloon with a T instead of an S.

P-2: Unless this is a misdirection, Gil is telling us that Jami is an arsonist.

P-3: Now, this is newsworthy. We learn Gil’s Mom is Lady Marianne, but why has she left Sherwood?

Great job on Gil’s hardwood floors, Mopman. Like Mahomes and Palomalu, you’re always working.

Another one bites the dust.

jami thinks i love when my dad wears old spice

wonder why whigham drew keri with a turkey neck was he drunk or just lazy

no smoke signals pops but you better understand morse code

What? Jami is a pyro and Gil finds that amusing?

P1: Jami shows Gil and Keri his not-so-subtle cropdusting technique.

“Yeah, robbin’ your punk a$$ — now empty those pockets before I lose my temper.”

If Gil is like 70. How old are his mom and brother.

So someone knocks at the Door while Gil etc are at the Dinner Table

They all finish there dinner and then get there coats on to go

They all say Goodbye to one another

Then Gil opens the door

Anybody outside the door would have left in that 15 minute time frame or would’ve continued knocking on the door

Good lord. Starting ANOTHER plot thread? What is this, “Lost”?

Robin is Gil’s brother, a doctor. Best I can tell, he was last in Milford in 1993.

Gil thought bubble: “… great… I finally get rid of these freeloader kids for awhile only to have two more freeloaders show up the minute they leave…”

Someone move that darn lamp away from the edge. I’m surprised Jami hasn’t knocked it over yet. And speaking of knocking over, today’s Mopped Up Thorp just might knock you over if you’re not sitting down already.

“Dang, now what? An intervention? Just shoot me!”

Good lord! Gil’s younger brother Robin, who hasn’t been seen since…the 60s, I guess? Neither has Gil’s mother. Geez!

“…FAT-BOTTOMED GIRLS

YOU MAKE THE ROCKIN’ WORLD

GO ‘ROUNDDDDDDDD…”

“Jami!!!!!! Turn that off!!!!! We need to be supportive of Ericka when she attends Weight Watcher classes.”
