Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 01, 2010

Why do I suspect “Mr. Kessler” resembles a friend of the cartoonists?

he looks like a poor imitation of Ben Stein!

The reality is that Mr Kessler is the younger brother of Mr. Weatherby, Principal of Riverdale HS, of Archie Fame. Dr. Pearl-Kessler

Hah, kids. Kessler might have been the BMOC thirty years ago.

Waiting for the Throw-Down between Pizza-Boy and Mop-Boy over Cassie.

Thats Dr. pearl in diguise, how else do you think she knows all.

Mr. Kessler is keeping thirty years of glowing memories to himself.

That Kaz is a regular Henny Youngman. He not only roids, he rules.

In panel 2 it looks like Kaz has the number 5 tatooed on his head.

What’s that string hanging down from Kaz’s ear in Panel 2? I’m impressed by the way Mr. Kessler can read that paper he’s holding while looking in another direction.

Kessler could be played by a slightly younger Fyvish Finkel, and we know how much action that guy got on Boston Public.

Kessler is a smoldering volcano of nerdly sex appeal.

Observe69 will vouch for my consternation with ‘Gil Thorp” continually slamming bald guys…they are either incompetent, evil or nerds.

The esteemed Dr. Arnold Brett almost put an end to that madness…but was poisoned by Thorp just as he was ready to hold Thorp accountable.

I see Cassie dumping janitor in a drum for the dashing Mr. Kessler.

I’ll bet Cassie has already been under Mr. Kessler’s desk.

I am sure all the ‘Thorpies will recognize Mr Kessler as the famous porn star–Johnnie “Wadd” Kessler!
