Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 17, 2024

WTF?

Lucas Martin punched a coach back in the January 15th strip. There was never any follow-up until now. As usual.

Quite the tough guy with a smiley face on his shirt. Will he hit him with his Hello Kitty backpack?

Mid

Editor’s note: Read my mind to have any of this make sense.

“Leave us be” is such a common phrase for the youth of today… right?

Leave us be. Leave us be. Leave us be. Leave us be-eee. Chirping words of toughness, leave us be.

Leaves of three, let them be.

I’m going to start saying “Haha! YEET!” at random times.

Dude has YEET for brains.

P2 “Can we dance wiff yo dates?”

It should say “writer’s note”, since we know there isn’t any editor. And why would we want to go back 10 months and suffer again?

I have to admit, having the late Psycho Sid/ Coach Perm take one to the solar plexus is one of my favorite strips.

Can we, for the love of all that’s holy, go back to the old art? This looks like a badly drawn Saturday morning cartoon.

P 2 (Lucas): “… there she is…”

So is the middle fellow in P2 Rod? I’m snarklessly confused.

catch up on what ?

as jerry seinfeld would say who are these people ?

if theres really a editor please put some name tags on the charecters

P-3: Editor’s note: the best joke in a year. As if…

Is this the new look? Not good, very disappointed. Get someone that can draw a face.

Yes, Freshmen taunt Upperclassmen in Bizzaro world,

Somehow that smiley face shirt doesn’t seem to match that kid’s personality. And speaking of matching, I’d like to match you up with Mopped Up Thorp. Whatever that means.

When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way

Fron your first cigarette to your last dyin’ day!

P 1 (Tobe): “… hey!… who’s the midget?…”

P 4 (Lucas): “… Fuh uck you Dutch boy … I’ll beat your a$$ too (snicker)…”

Lucas…”…and you’re a bigger doosh than the dog in today’s pluggers… hahahaha…”

Today’s question: will we ever see the androgynous three again?

This just gets worser and worser.

The problem with switching artists is that with a lot of the characters, we’re not sure who they are since they’re drawn differently. Rod, Dottie, Leo, for example. They need to be spoken to using their name a lot at this point.

I am debating is the big guy in the stripped shirt closer to Curly or Curly Joe?

What the actual f@#k??? I can no longer make sense of Henry’s psychobabble, nor can I take any more of this AI illustration. Sheesh…
