Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 25, 2025

I see the names of many of the star posters encoded at the bottom of the screen.

Yeet?

I’m going to be at Knowhere Games and Comics in San Marcos, CA. I’ll be there at 2 p.m. Please come down and let’s have an AMA IRL!

Thankshenry3

Who’s the hand puppet in the background? Topo Gigio was booked?

In P3, Matilda been whupped with da ugly stick. What a face for radio. Even worse than Marty; was mother a baboon?

Ain’t she a peach!

Can a comic strip suffer from ADHD? After reading “Gil Thorp” (GT) faithfully for decades, I can only say “Yeet” to that. And a careful analysis of what we will gently call “artwork” leads me to believe that GT may be best portrayed as 3 panels of solid white, simulating a blizzard or white-out condition, utilizing ONLY speech or thought bubbles to convey, in the loosest sense, a story-line. Now, back to the FAR SIDE.

Moon over Matilda

Marty has a 40-year-old daughter?

Picture of Henry on the wall??

??

P 4 (Matti): “… beat it toots…”

OMG !!!? Another ridiculous story arc ?? Just what we need to increase ratings. Can we please get back to some semblance of sports ???

Yeets all around today.

if they go to the ice cream shop where the korean nightmare goes he might move back to korea looking at her

FWEET YEET shes doing a phenominal job on the art AMA

Ahhh yes. The finest young minds and grossly entitled attend St. Fabian’s. That 16 ouncer on Mattie T’s desk looks like a Milford favorite, Blasto.

P 4: “…. Ice cream?… it’s the middle of winter… gtfoh Marty…”

I’m going to guess that Matilda doesn’t even know Marty is her real dad.

Maybe we should go back to black and white artwork.

Does Peaches NOT live in Milford? Is Matilda homeschooled? Does Matilda go to Valley Tech on a gaming scholarship?

Maybe that’s actually Peaches with bipolar disorder.

Did Pedro break up with Kari to date Matilda? Next on Morey!

He made a reservation at Baskin Robbins so it’s “time to go get some ice cream.”

Marty will do anything to get back in media, even skulk in the background.

As Johnny Carson used to say, "We’ll BRB after these words from Hoo and Foxy’s Used Cars.

Mopwoman? Yes! Is she hot? Why haven’t I met her?

P1 and P2 remind me of when someone has a little devil on one shoulder and a little angel on the other giving advice. And speaking of advice, good advice is to read Mopped Up Thorp.

For all of you wondering about the Hockey team. I found them. Check out today’s Frank and Ernest.

Marty jealous because Matilda has a real following and he only has three that listen to his podcast

Worth Repeating:

Its a mistake trying to go for the young crowd on an ancient strip.
