Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 08, 2012

I know that this is an American comic; but spelling “Counselling” with one l is just so wrong!

Parker put LSD laced with tattoo ink in Gil’s drink.

That picture looks like Mr. Weatherbee from Archie comics. Wonder why no parents seem concerned about their children’s ink.

P2 “Brilliant” P3 What happens when he moves to Buffalo.

After Parker looks like Jughead, then Gil’s long lost kid, Gilmeister morphs into Claude Akins once again in P2. P3 It’s great to see Steve Luhm continues his employment in the Milford School District.

Is Gil turning into Wally from Dilbert? In P2 he’s got two cups of coffee.

I think Parker has been sent to some kind of Gulag interrogation chamber in P3.

Wow. That Mrs. Forbes is full of useful insight. Actually, though, when I think back on my high school counselors, that’s pretty accurate.

Spelling counseling with two “l’s” is a common misconception, sort of like putting a sign with your last name outside your house and putting an apostrophe in it, i.e. The Smith’s or The Johnson’s.

That is the narrowest desk I have ever seen for a school official.

Rule I always heard was, accent on the first syllable, one l — canceled, counseled. Accent on the second syllable, two l’s, as in controlled.

The Boy With the Mudlark Tattoo is about to take a dark turn. Murder, mayhem, piercings ….

A “counselor” is certified, licensed, and meets certain requirements.

Anyone can offer “counseling”.

Lt. Tragg used to call Perry Mason “counselor.” I wonder if Perry was as qualified as Mrs. Forbes.

The counselor’s hair looks like she is going for the “badger” look.

Apparently the cousel(l)or hasn’t entered the computer age, despite being married to a wealthy publisher.

Cancell my subscription.

Is Parker saying things like “no worries” because he’s been spending so much time with Ransom?

“That ain’t no woman! It’s a man, man!”

I’m thinking that with Mrs. Forbes and her lack of concern, she may be thinking of starting a little tattoo side business out of the office there, cutting out the cheap joint downtown, and forgetting all about Milford’s underfunded pension plan.

Gilfather has more serious issues – somebody stole the “Gil” off his coffee cup.
