Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 04, 2024

Today’s artwork… where do you start….

This is just unbelievable work from a very competent artist. I just don’t get it.

Incredible work by Rachel!

I love the way that the dark, featureless background forwards the characters and their body language.

Ooooooh! A mystery! Who is this “best” that she learned it from? Will Gil be jealous or ask to learn too?

Yesterday: plain vanilla white background in each panel. Today: solid black background in each panel. Oooh…creative! Tomorrow: possibly a gradient blend from white to black???? Even God can’t guess.

What’s with the blue halo ? The blue streaks were enough WTF !!!

P3- we have an educated Toe and a Selsun Blue halo above GilPa.

I’m not certain why there’s someone in yellow standing about five yards behind the play- perhaps it’s a soccer referee?

Leo has only 3 or 4 fingers. Good thing he is lefthanded. Doesn’t look like play action.

Who let the troll in? Who? Who, who, who?

P 4 (Toe): “…the Nick Saban YouTube channel!…”

Must be an indoor night game with cheap lighting.

P-1: Michael Jackson Moonwalks into a sixties fugitive doing Mickey’s Monkey!

P-2: In spite of wearing an outfielder’s glove, Rodney hangs on, and the defender gives him an approving tap on the shoulder.

P-3: Definition of sycophant!

Did Captain Kirk beam down in P1? And for this?

QB only has 4 fingers on his right hand.

panal one how do you try to tackle someone with a clenched fist ?

I didn’t think the art could get worse I was wrong

with this artist you will never see fist pumpman or signman again

cami looks like one of those people who only comes out at night from OMEGA MAN

Has anyone explained why all football players wear white gloves? Are these formal football games? Or maybe a tribute to Mickey Mouse?

Just saw Henry’s X and now he’s about to ruin The Green Hornet.

Good of Captain Kirk to beam down for the game.

Is that Captain Kirk on the sidelines watching the game? He forgot to change into appropriate clothing for the period he’s visiting. This could alter the timeline! And speaking of altering, you should alter your current plans to include reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P1: Michael Jackson does the moonwalk.

P 4 (Toe): “… that Eberflus guy from the Chicago Bears…”

This is probably the closest it’s been to him looking like Gil Thorp since they changed the illustrator.
