Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 15, 2015

The Neverending Story

True tosses the ball and then breaks into “the robot”. You don’t even need a puka shell necklace when you’re that cool.

This is looking more like “Dawson’s Creek” every day.

Tru must have just thrown one left handed judging by the follow thru in P1. Or maybe he always flails his arms around as he throws like the robot on Lost in Space.

Even with the butterface, Chia Pet hair and the countless personality disorders, Boo has the Milford boys lining up for a shot at that thang. I get it though, I always had a fondness for the crazy chicks.

Artist seems to be taking some pains to avoid drawing Boo’s bikini-clad front. .So … any guesses as to what Boo’s chest tattoo represents?

In p2 Tru is pulling a Snagglepuss. “Exit stage left.” And in P3 Alfalfa shows up to win the Boo.

Miss me, I know you’ll miss me. I know you’ll miss me blind.Jarrod looks different from last Fall, like he has become a unic. The polka dot bikinied brunette in yesterday’s strip looks like a local meteorologist in Louisville.

I think I saw this movie in my hotel room for $7.99.

Sometimes I wouldn’t be surprised in these storylines if Wally and the Beaver showed up and Eddie Haskell stopped by the Thorp house. “Gee Mrs. Thorp, you’re looking really swell today in that string bikini.”

Okay Mop you need to put a gap in those teeth in MUT today for ‘Alfred E’ in panel three.

In all reality , in P2 they way J Rod is staring at Boo , she must not have her swimsuit bottom on . P3 , J Rod is starting to experience all those strange and wonderful changes to his body that Gil lectured about in Health class.

For those old enough to remember, P-3: The Little Rascals used a fly swatter to paint measles on their faces (Buckwheat used white paint) so they could skip school. J-Rod must have found the old fly swatter.

No, I didn’t see it. Didn’t even know the actor was still alive. I’ll have to go take a look at it.

‘Our Gang’ and "Little Rascals’ were both used in NY in the early 60s. I think it depended upon which channel one was watching. Cael Switzer played “Alfalfa” in the original series which was called ‘Our Gang’ and produced in the mid 30s. He died long ago after being shot over a dispute with someone he owed money. Bug Hall played Alfalfa in the 1994 movie “The Little Rascals.” Props to imdb.com, Wikipedia and my (not so) slowly deteriorating memory.

t-car1: I grew up in Detroit and the films showed Our Gang in the intro. The show itself was called the Little Rascals. I think it was a marketing ploy. Gangs in the 50’s carried switchblades, chains and zip-guns. Little Rascals are just kids.
