Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 01, 2024

P4- (Beth): “Well, your mother made a chocolate cake and ordered two pizzas.” (Keri): “Really? Jami, grab your coat. We’re out of here!”

Are we still practicing drawing faces?

Why the dark room? Problem with Gil’s eyes?

Why does it seem Gil’s got a queen-size hospital bed in P1?

Is that supposed to be Jami standing in the doorway in P3, or a butched-up Mimi?

Hey ! Quit moving the equipment. It was by Gilpa’s bed in P1. It’s by the door in P3. That sh** is expensive !!!

I don’t have a clue.

Celebrity death watch. Always a fun bit on local FM morning show. Abe Vigoda was always a candidate. Kris Kristofferson, Dikembe Mutumbo and Pete Rose. The Gilfather is safe. We have our three.

OMG, I don’t know how much more of the strip I can take. I’ve been following since the 80’s, where has the sports gone from this strip.

Come on, zoom in on me. Do I look hunky? I hope I look hunky.

P4 “Besides, mom always serves clams and seafood, but I love sausage.”

She has already gone through teen pregnancy and abortion, and is now starting a bulimia arc? Keri is a one-woman Lifetime Movie of the Week!

OK Gil, we know you welcome failure, but maybe not heart failure.

Tune in tomorrow when Gil wakes up and supplies Keri with a case of Slim Fast

You know when you want to confess? When the other person is in a coma, so even if he remembers, you can claim it was a coma dream.

did they move gil to the used equipment closet all that stuff wasnt there yesterday

Hold on a minute, I’m about to lose my breakfast…

But I want to stay here… Does anyone want that jell-o?

Haha… peanut has thunder thighs and a big a$$

Well, Keri. Your weight tends to fluctuating when you get pregnant, have an abortion, get pregnant again, have another abortion, wash, rinse, repeat

After only two days and a display of only four characters I think I may be in for trouble. The new look of everybody is way too much. Was over the top. I think this strip should spend a few days re-introducing each character on a name by name basis. Limit each panel to one character drawing and After a 6 day week of four panels a day 24 characters could be d be depicted. At 3 panels per day 18 characters.

I like how Jami just stands in the background, thinking, “Can we just go already? I’m supposed to be meeting Luke, Jr. for D&D right now.” And speaking of right now, you should be reading the latest Mopped Up Thorp right now.

Keri has a zest for living. What we don’t need is a lot of loose talk. How ‘bout a Fresca?

All that equipment and not a cable/wire/tube in sight.

So, is the new artist on the same deal as Henry is; work as poorly as possible and keep your job?

Keri thinks, should I stay or should I go now? If I go, I stay with mom and Ericka. And if I stay I’m stuck with Beth and Jami…

Eh, that was lame.

In all reality the Milford Grim Reaper is waiting outside of Gil’s room’s door !

What should Keri have told Gil was wrong? Wrong answers only, of course.
