Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 02, 2025

Uh-oh!

Bye, Beth!

Why ask why, try Bud Dry

As in W.H.Y. Why?

I wondered why she was giving him the drink, but since the illustrator cannot match the characters, I thought maybe it was a different bartender.

You can’t blame her for being confused. That was two consecutive coherent thoughts from Gil. She is not used to that.

WTH is in the background?

And why is Gil’s ear square?

Please translate.

“Why? Because me like you.”

Beth. Pack your stuff and take to bus to Central City. Marjie Ducey, you’re up.

Makes me wonder what else Beth swipes from customers. Credit card numbers, IDs…who knows. This woman is Trouble.

This new “artwork” has Gil looking like a perpetually surprised moron.

Why? Because that’s what he left me for a tip, that cheap bástard. And speaking of cheap, reading Mopped Up Thorp is pretty cheap. I mean, it’s free.

So this is the continuation of the generic Happy New Year strip from yesterday? Same background, same hats, same alternative Milford universe? That’s….interesting.

Maybe Barney’s has a policy where you get the 11th drink free if you turn in the chip after the 10th (?)

gil goes from elf ear panel two to ear like blockhead from gumby panel 3

The troll is back in town. #StarveTheTroll

Why did Beth take Marty’s chip? Wrong answers only.

Looks like Gilly ruined his chances of getting any tonight.

Why do I hear Steely Dan? “Don’t make me do it without the fez on…”

She took Marty’s AI chip so he’d have to think for himself.

On 12/17 Marty had the Chip in his hand, In the next panel he asks for a Drink and the Bar Tender (Beth) ask him if he is sure about this. He responds " He is a Big Boy" Beth did not take his chip, she asked if he was sure about this. As the Robot in “Lost in Space” said “This does not compute!!!”

Worth Repeating: Uh-oh! #Day904ofGilThorpFansHeldHostagebyBadWriting
