Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 18, 2016

Gee, imagine if Gil hadn’t talked to him.

And now for a very special Gil Thorp flashback, we travel back to July of 2001 where an effeminate-looking Gil eats his milk and cookies while planning his mid-life crisis:

Smooth, Bader.

They’re just divvying up which parts of you will look different after the beatdown, Bader.

(And hey, who votes on this clown being the next incarnation of Adam Mundy: the clueless kid who NEVER gets it, disappears in ignominy, and is never heard from or mentioned again?)

In all reality , " We’re looking at how shiny the floors are . Thanks Mop man . Now shut up and go to hell Master Bader !

Young Bader looks like he is handcuffed to the desk, just like they do hardened criminals in a police interrogation room. LOL.

@ Bitsy Twill

“All I ever wanted to be is a woman.” "Ok, Gil, let’s go shopping at the Milford Magnificent Mall for some summer dresses for you and more makeup. "

I’m not sure if the man bag craze has hit Milford, or if the big guy in P3 is carrying one of those portable defibrallator kits so they can keep reviving Barry after they start beating on him.

Dustin Pedroia and the Red Sox had a poor game in NYC last night so Milford’s newest teen age monk is feeling chippy. Two of three panels, hands clenched in fists of rage. This could be the day the music died.

Uh, oh. Why do I think Tru(e) will take a swing at him, break his throwing hand and be forced to give up football?

Of course you’re loyal to your dad, just like Big Ken Brown is loyal to that cow judge, er, his mom.

Young Master Bader, winning friends and influencing people again in P3. Can’t wait ’til tomorrow to see that big dude clock him with his murse.

….I’m going to have to clock Whiz just because…Captain Obvious is offended, Whiz, you are taking his spot

Can we get the European carry all off the front pages and get out to Milford CC m

Yeah, what are you looking at? You’re the one with the man purse.

When it comes to Master Bader, feelings aren’t the only things that are raw.

P-1: Can’t believe no one picked up on this-cue thme song “Be Tru to your school”P-2: Not only have you been warned; you’ve been warned in profile.P-3: Who, us? We’re the new Varsity Mixed Martial Arts Team. Want to rephrase that question?

There’s gotta be some punching coming up in our future. Although I don’t think it will involve Tru(e), he’s gone all Zen on us. I’m guessing it will involve Big Ken Brown who will make something happen, like blood escape from Master Bader. And speaking of escape, you can’t escape today’s Mopped Up Thorp. Well actually I guess you can, if you don’t click the link.

So yea or nay on posting daily flashback strips about Gil’s return to golf? (If panel 3 is getting wiped out by an ad, you can right click and choose “open image in new tab”.)

Based on P1, I hope some of Gil’s advice to Master Bader concerned the purchase of a FleshLight. That is the worst case of Carpal Tunnel I have ever seen.

Also @BitsyTwill, am I the only one seeing just the first two panels? Dragging the strip reveals P3 and a rare appearance of Peaches McClure.

Mop, you’re a genius. Great MUT today! Thanks

I think I can explain Barry’s obsession as well as his fielding position. You see a baseball diamond is a close to second base as he ever got.

Little known fact: if you throw Barry down the stairs from the third floor, he says his name all the way to the bottom: BARRY…bader…BARRY…badder…barry…badder..barry..badder.barrybader,barrybader,barrybader,ugh.

I can hear Barry singing his theme song now: "I’m the King of the COOOL Cool Jerk

That night Barry never made it home from school but the Glee Club was heard rehersing: “The car was stalled…upon the track; Barry couldn’t get quite clear. It seems this day at Milford High got him a broken back.”

I’m sorry, I’m board.

Y’know, I think that was the last time Peaches made any serious appearances in the strip.

Tru will save Bader from a beat down, thereby disappointing all of us.

And Barry once again proves that denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Bring me the heads of BOTH Bader men- they’re both arrogant twats.
