Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 31, 2024

I was totally nuts about Payday. Totally nuts.

Go to July 10, 2001 and see how much better the artwork and the writing was back then.

I always thought peaches was the pits.

Was he also Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?

The artwork was better, and the characters were recognizable…

Inma sighting, Inma sighting.

Sad but True,,, Marty is the type who never learns.

Penalty Laps for the loss. Even Coach does his share.

The Bucket sadly is no more than a local greasy spoon, like 7 eleven open 24/7. What has Peaches been up to all these years? Tired of babysitting a project like Marty, she supposedly hit the road but to where? And with whom?

Is State Champion Inma Rimchu playing on the boys basketball team?

“Around 3:32 a.m.”? Normal people would say around 3:30.

Not only has the story telling and “artwork” in this strip tanked, now the people in charge of this train wreck are giving us homework. I really don’t feel like going back 20 years to try to make sense of this garbage.

what the heck is that black stuff on the towels and the walls ?

luke has a white m in panel two on his shirt then its all black the artist is either lazy or theres a octopus shooting ink from the ceiling

Does Marty have to give his one year coin back?

Nuts? Peaches? Marty sounds like a fruitcake.

Huh huh…huh huh huh… hu hu hu huh…you said nuts…huh huh huh hu huh huh hu hu huh huh…

Response to the “editor”: Ummmm, no.

P-1: Aha, this strip is about race, er better ad ing like Sister Yellow taught us.

P-2: While he was asleep, er studying in his office, someone injected a supposed weight loss drug into his skull and Gil is now 5 inches taller.

P-3.5: I was thinking about Peaches, Luke

Wasn’t that a Van Halen song? “Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, I’m nuts for Peaches….”

P 3: good one Luke considering that everyone was saying the same thing about you before Gil pulled you off the trash heap.

P-USA had a good follow up to “Lump” with “Peaches”, but not much else after that.

P1- The ants leave skid marks on the walls. Further proof the sloppy joes are amazing. Mopman is gonna something stronger than a Swiffer Jet Mop.

The Elvis look doesn’t work for Gil in P3.

Who is that poor girl with no neck? She looks like she can hardly walk. Editor’s note: Since 9/30/24 some characters may appear to be severely disabled.

Nice that the officers are as professional as anyone else in this strip. Just blabbing about people that are arrested and sharing their personal information. Nice. And speaking of blabbing, there’s a lot of blabbing going on about today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

I mean…should Gil be running after a heart attack?

OK so this means Gil’s frosh we’re at The Bucket at 3:32 a.m. Where are the parents?

I have around $1,012.

Moon has his own key to the drunk tank slammer like Otis did.
