Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 19, 2024

Gil if you turn around right now you’re definitely not going to want to go to bed. #fugly. Paraphrasing Jessica Rabbit – “I’m not hideous, I’m just drawn that way.”

You did your best, Gil!

Gil, you failed them. You didn’t do your best. You hung around unshaven in your filthy bathrobe for weeks and mumbling to yourself. You failed them long before you shaved and showed up for one important game.

But, it really doesn’t matter. They had a better team and even if you’d been doing your job the Milford team would have gotten their butts kicked.

Why don’t you go back to the unshaven mess you were and keep feeling sorry for yourself.

They failed him, really.

Christ, that art

P3: Beth looks like she’s aged 50 years.

“Don’t say that. I mean, it’s true and all, but don’t say it.”

Looks like Beth caught an errant pass in her lower lip in panel 3. Looking at her, I wouldn’t want to go to bed either.

Gil…..when Beth asks you to go to bed, YOU SAY YES!!!

I wish HB would quit self designating himself as the featured comment. Way too many snarkers out there have better lines

You would think Beth would respond with something like, “You think you have it bad? Coach Nonads and Marty were smashed at the bar and none of them hit on me. Instead I’m here with a loser like you.”

You set yourself up by welcoming failure. Tighten it up with a close Burma shave, slap on some Aqua Velva, Grecian Formula and finally Brylcreem. Slap that wench on the cheeks and play the role of Gilfather.

Why did Gil go back? Wrong answers only.

P2.5 “You didn’t fail them Gil. You quit on them.”

Woe is Me, Pity me

Gil’s watching the Bronco- Charger game already? Move your head so I can see the score!

Unanswered questions, What happened to Marty? Was Coach Perm thrown out of the bar?Was that Beth as the Bartender? Did Keri score with Pedro ? Why didn’t Henry comment yesterday? These and other answers are”One Step Beyond”

P 4 (Beth): “…you failed them months before you got hurt…you never have any game plans, you drift off during weekday practices, you spend more time socializing with staff rather than working with players, and your assistants are as useless as t!ts on a bull, especially that dumb girl, whats-her-name…nursery rhymes?…gimme a break man….you should’ve sh!tcanned her the second you heard about that nonsense…it’s too late to dwell on this last loss…there’s many more to come in the future if you don’t quit whinin’ and get your head out of your a$$…”

beth unglue your head from gils shoulder there not gonna remake the man with two heads plus rosy grier looks better then you

beth you will never be another lily munster try a new look

wonder how nads and those drunks got home but henrys motto what me finish a story you kidding

Serious question: I’ve been a reader of GT for a long time, but am a relative newcomer to the Snarkosphere (never felt the need to comment until Henry came along and trashed the strip). Did previous writers (Berrill, Jenkins, Rubin, et al) troll the comments the way he does?

The art…. sooo bad… it BURNS!

I think the doofus dropping the ball short of the goal line had more to do with the loss than Gil, but it wouldn’t be a day in Milford if the writing made any sense.

Also, I’m hoping they replace the “artist” with a drunk fingerpainting kindergartener soon.

Vito from Goshen is in his private plane flying to Hawaii to bring Tru(e) back home. An intervention is necessary and imminent, and I’m waiting for the Wildcat Maris press conference introducing the new coach. Vito is looking for a vibrant coach to bring The Big Board back to life. Marty is bringing some action to betting life with good odds on a stumbling situation. Tru(e) is the truth! Very long odds Gil and Meemaw’s funerals happening on the same day!

He didn’t go back. He just showed up.

“I failed them, Beth. I gave the whole PE class a failing grade for losing that game.”

I’m curious about Beth’s hand in P3. Is it arthritis? That sucks for someone as young as she is. And speaking of young, reading Mopped Up Thorp can keep you young.
