Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 29, 2024

The Northern Lights emanate from Gil’s backyard.

I can relate to today’s strip, having recently become a widower after 53 years with the same woman. You have no choice but to move forward.

Amen to all of us who have overcome life’s varied challenges and moved forward in new, positive directions.

Dang strip, making me feel things.

Did… Gil’s mom just give him advice to find a way to make his ex-wife “disappear”?

P4- Gotta make a move to a town that’s right for me

Town to keep me movin’Keep me groovin’ with some energy

Well, I talk about it, talk about itTalk about it, talk about it

Talk about, talk aboutTalk about movin’

Gotta move onGotta move onGotta move on

Won’t you take me toFunkytown?

In all seriousness, single parents have faced an uphill challenge for generations. Robin is no help, but Ma Thor P is just what Gil needs to get him back to being the State Champ coach hawking coffee mugs, pennants, key chains and hoodies.

I had a really good snarky comment to post UNTIL I read Klubble’s post. At 68 yoa my life is guided by 2 sentences from the Serenity Prayer -“Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time”Blessings,JD

Ahh, I guess we can get back to lamenting no sports again tomorrow.

Zzzzzzzzz…..

P-1: Typical parental hypocrisy, Jami isn’t gone 20 minutes and Gil’s sending smoke signals from his BBQ grill.

P-2: Mom’s wind-up before the pitch for some cash.

P-3: Um, Gil, you really shouldn’t try out your pick-up lines on your Mother.

Gil’s confidence with women soars once Mom tells him that he’s witty, personable, and good looking and what woman wouldn’t want you (besides Mimi)?

meanwhile is robin putting the moves on meemaw ?

dont get too much sun mom you dont wanna end up looking like hildy from rex morgan

maybe robin is looking for some roadkill to cook on the firepit

Tune in tomorrow to Milford Melodrama as Nana and Marty go to the same barber.

Wow, mom has one giant meathook. Even bigger than Gil’s hand. And speaking of hands, you’ve got to hand it to today’s Mopped Up Thorp. It’s a doozy.

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying.

She’s a good Mom. Stay close mom.

I like the shadows in P2,
