Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 17, 2025

Hraaak!!

State what? Penitentiary?

P1: I pity the fool who tries to beat me!

And in non related news, Gil Thorp is still being ruined by an incompetent writer and artist.

Which states? New York? New Jersey? North Dakota?

She sounds like she’s ready to move into professional wrestling instead.

How is she the litmus test? Not sure if she was paying attention in chemistry class. She certainly hasn’t proven if she is acid or alkaline, although in the figurative sense it means passing some sort of important test, but not sure that passing a test would encourage more participants the way the metaphor, she’s shattered a barrier, would have.

OMG !!!!! This strip just keep getting worse .HB’s writing has always been atrocious; but, is it really that hard to draw the same uniform for everybody ?Who’s the amazon in the back with no “M”? And no color ? Why 3 guys in the picture of “girls?” wrestling team?The redhead and what color is that next to her look a little “tranny” to me. All around, another poor strip.

Who says (or even thinks) “I am the litmus test”?? Yoda, possibly? YEET!

Back to state — pen?

P3 Looks like Keri got cropped out of the picture – again.

Yeet!! I just limussed all over myself looking at these mutants created by the polluted water in Milford.

I wish Inma the best of luck. It’s just too bad she’s going to miss part of the season because of the root canal she clearly needs from P1.

P 1 (Inma thought bubble): “…Sh!t…….I thought that I was out of this strip…” P 2 (Inma): “..Henry!..is that you over there?…I’m gonna’ beat your a$$!…”

“Girls wrestlers”?

If the reporter does quote her on that, let’s hope that she leaves out the “I am the litmus test” part, since it doesn’t mean anything.

“I am the Mohs Scale” would be more apt. Anyway, it’s the eye of the Mudlark, the thrill of the fight, etc.

“I am the litmus test, I am the litmus test, I am the walrus, koo koo cha koo.”

has that big amazon in the back ever been out in the sun ? maybe shes related to bucko

wow inma grew a mustache in one panel broke camis record

looks like peaches daughter likes to wrestle and the chick next to her must be related to grandmama of the addams family

P-1: Up what? Quality reporting starts with ’specific" questions.

P-2: Translation: I’m hoping for Chemistry with more girls to choose from.

P-3: 2025 Femininity: Why the boys spend so much time looking at their phones.

P1- So, all the girl wrestlers gained weight?

P2.5 Rumore: “Hey! (snaps fingers), I’m over here, not to your left!”

In the real world, all these extra girl wrestlers would not be competing against her. Only the few in her weight class. If we even have weight classes. And speaking of class, Mopped Up Thorp is not a strip that has ever been accused of having class.

Wrestler in bottom row, far right side: “…who you callin’ ‘girl’?…”

To paraphrase Bryce Harper in Nats days: That’s a clown question, sis.

So is she going to be a Louden Swain, or a Brian Shute?

Girl in the back row, middle…as Eddie Murphy would say “… dayum! DAT’s one big b!tch…”

So we had a team photo of the basketball team and a team photo of the wrestling team and Still Not One Word about the Milford cricket team! Very disappointing, Hank. What? You don’t think cricket players are capable of reciting nursery rhymes to win? You don’t think cricket players have the intelligence to say “Yeet”? Word of advice, Hank. Leave your prejudices at home when you write this strip.

And in non related news, Kramer is still a cowardly wuss craving tube steak smothered inn drawers.
