Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 07, 2016

Well … that was unexpected….

Double header?

ok…does the writer not think any of this through? The truck just hit the same side that Del just hit, so where’s Del?

Is the pickup driven by (1) the cow judge, (2) the guy who promised to place the big order, (3) Master Bader, (4) Ken Brown (who is finally making something happen), (5) Marty Moon, or (6) someone who has just skidded for 50 yards after hitting a spill of industrial solvents?

ok- I missed yesterday so didn’t realize she spun.

Now THAT is going to leave a mark. Could this be the end of Boo Radley? Does Tru drive a truck? What are those flying hexagons in P2 supposed to be? So many unanswered questions!

The driver of the pickup truck has his lights on and presumably is sober. So what’s with plowing into Boo?

Oh, COME ON. This is just SILLY.

Boo doubles down. Will she survive the 2nd hit? Counting the 2 dudes at the Mystic Pranks concert, this would use up 3 of her 9 lives that we know of. So far she’s given up 2 more hits than she did in the game.

My hope is that a Sasquatch extracates Boo from her car at the last second and takes her back to the Sasquatch Village and raises her as one of their own and in time she marries one of the tribe and has a litter of future jumbo linebackers culminating in 2-A-Days starting a week from now and kicking whole Del plotline to the curb!Or I could be wrong….

In all reality , the pickup truck was driven by Marty Moon . Marty had a few too many pick me ups at Milford Downs bar.

@chiphiltonThe pickup driver was blinded the formation of alien spaceships flying overhead.

Chip says a train, BrownStarfish says helicopter. I see Wildcat Maris driving a Russian tank taking a turn at making an impact. That driver in the pickup can’t be Marty. He’s more a Mazda Miata guy.

I think Gil Thorp has now become the latest installment in the “Final Destination” movie franchise.

This is becoming even less believable by the day…

What is the point in having Boo get hit twice? This is ridiculous. Undoubtedly the pick up was not paying attention to a car sitting in the middle of the street. Move on to something interesting.

Kudos for having something unexpected happen. I’m sure it will just be a random person that hit her (although yeah, why didn’t this guy see her sitting in the road?) but it would be awesome if it was either Tru(e), the cow judge, or Ed Asner that finished her off. Ooh, maybe it’s Gil or Mimi heading back to town for one last school appearance during finals week! And speaking of finishing off, what better way to finish off your morning than by reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp?

Maybe it’s Gil in the truck. Since he don’t coach, he just drives around town aimlessly

@MOP: You kind of beat me to it. It’s Coach Thorp showing Del: “This is how you broadside somebody! Now, try it again!”

Or…Boo…step into the light.

@JPuzzleWhiz: I think it’s a Dodge “Ram”.

I think it’s obvious what happened. Keri and Jami escaped from their Bangladeshi sweat shop, stowed away on a freighter carrying cheap designer knockoffs, hotwired a pickup truck on the pier, and were speeding home to take revenge on Gil and Mimi when…

P1: “Well that was scary. Glad I’m okay. I’m just lucky it wasn’t one of those large Chevy 3-ton trucks. What are they called again? It’ll come to me in a second.”

What does it say about me that I laughed when I read today’s strip?

Damn, just how poorly lit IS this part of town??

…Biff, you are to something….didn’t “silent John” Pascoe lift a car off a peacock or Kenny Lark’s mother or something like that a few years ago?

Aside from Del’s car and now the truck, this story has been so slow moving I could have dispatched a film crew, possibly also to hit Boo! Maybe a network would’ve picked up “Carter” again. In retrospect, Boo probably should not have talked herself into moving her car into traffic, especially since I did not have the film crew.

Nice work Mop. I am too depressed to laugh at anything today, however. Could be a sleepless night hoping for better news tomorrow.

In all reality, just because my truck rammed Boo doesn’t mean I was driving. It was probably stolen by some student athlete like that big rugby player.

Times up: all bloggers failed R&W’s test, today.The answer is: a Double Header…a Double HeaderThanks for playing

I know this is late and I wish I’d have thought of this sooner. Read this past Sunday’s “PEARLS BEFORE SWINE”. It is sports related and could have easily been written by Ellis.This one was an instant classic.

My apologies to Rusty Gate. Thanks to Bitsy Twill for keeping things fair. As a prize Mr. Gate wins one years worth of Bader Solvents. Please stay on the line so we can get your address…hello…hello…zzzzzzz.
