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

Right Because state champions wrestlers aren’t ever serious.

Not exactly Knute Rockne motivation here.

Wait, that’s not Marty?

2 taps in P1? How exactly does that happen with one jump?

Did anyone catch SNL50 or the All Star game(s)? AMA!

Tap, Tap, Taparoo. Word of advice Luke. Paranoia will destroy ya. And that’s before meeting a girl named Lola and taking her back to your place.

Inma ready to kiss some butte

Don’t worry coach, to refer to an earlier snark, here: “I heard Sears has a softer-side”.

" I, my name is Inma, and a ratted my family to Gitma."

On this day in Gil Thorp history: 02/17/2005

Marty Moon: Thorp, what the heck is going on here?

Gil: Well, I’m doing paperwork, and then I might make some coffee.

Marty Moon: You know what I mean! T.A.P. shut me out of Bishop Tardy’s practice!

Gil Thorp: Moon may be a jerk, but he’s our jerk – and he goes wherever we wants.

TAP TAP YEET

inma has a different body every strip REMARKABONE

Is Coach standing on a rotating turntable?

Today’s background art is INCREDIBLE!

Inma overconfident? Will Henry actually show her getting her a$$ kicked?

Luke is morphing into Marty. Soon they shall be one. And speaking of one, if you can spare less than one minute, you can read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Meanwhile there’s still a basketball player looking to get the ball passed to him in the gym.

I’ve always wonder why HB feels the need to bold certain words like “serious”. We get it. And the art, of course, is abysmal. What is that black spot Inma is jumping on? A shadow? Inside? Better yet is how does a rope “tap” the floor when it it barely able to reach past Inma’s feet?

They need to get out of that purple haze, or they won’t care about anything but Twinkies.

Two days in a row with identical artwork

Is Luke going blind? “Coach, I’m over here.”

P1-3. Inma is disrespecting Tod Andrew’s Magnum P.I. stache. It scrubs like a loofah and looks like a money maker in a novelty store rental department.

why would a comic strip use green screen like a movie or is luke just dreaming about inma inquiring minds wanna know

P 1 (Inma thought bubble): “…one, two, buckle my shoe…”

The truth is repeating:

Even though that guy looks like moon, it’s not. Moon is frozen stiff, still outside the ice cream shop with a cone in his hand.
