Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 17, 2017

If she’s like me she’ll walk around the apt looking for the place she hid her glasses before realizing they’re on her head.

He found a pile of loose pills in the oven or something? She doesn’t even bother to keep them in a baggie?

At least she eats. She has more meat on her bones than Aaaaron.

Maybe she needs the meds for the Parkinson’s in her left hand.

Her hand reminds me of the Chinese villain on Get Smart, The Claw. Claw: Not craw. Craw (holding up his clawed hand)!! Max: Alright, Mr. Craw, you’re coming with us!

Way to rat out your Mom. What’s Gil been feeding this boy? Throw Gil out on his ass!

Having had 3 hip replacements, I’ve had my fair share of pain meds, but they never looked like that. Maybe she’s in the midst of crushing them up to snort them (See Bitsy’s comment above.) or A Quad hates his mom so much and thinks Gil is so clueless, that he can fool the coach with a handful of Pop Rocks. And A Quad may just be right.

Tomorrow, Mrs. AA blames the ants for bringing drugs in.

Could they be oral contraceptives??? Downwardly mobile…really Gil… pretty judgmental without complete facts….Aaaaron might get grounded for finking on momma…this story line is in a serious downward spiral…let’s move on to baseball please and end this nonsense

In all reality , moving forward an assorted group of Milford baseball players held a coach less practice yesterday . Specs Spencer a visually impaired freshman displayed his 100 mph fastball ,another newcomer a slick fielding shortstop Sergio Sanchez also practiced but worried about B K Brown questioning and probing his family’s US citizenship and collectively the team wondered when Coach Thorp would show up.

Since GilPa is on the cusp of narking out Tina to Chief Lind, it reminded me of the greatest covert narcotics agent in U.S. history.

@twainreader from late yesterday: She’s both an addict and a compulsive gambler. She plays cards using oxycontin pills as poker chips.

There is nothing to account for Aaron’s change in attitude except a few free meals. But then, Boo Radley underwent a similar unexplained transformation.

For once, Gil is doing the right thing, as a concerned human being should. I can’t snark on this series of events. You go, Gil! And props to Aaron, as well, for (apparently) wanting to help Tina get over her drug problem.

Just another excuse to draw a big hand.

OK, Mrs. Aaaa, I have an idea that will allow your kid to eat, you to keep high, and resolve this on going Teenage Angst issue. The coaches are looking for a new Mistress. AQ why don’t you go order a meal at Denny’s. That’ll be good for a couple of hours. I’ll take the first shift.

If this plot drags on any longer, I’m going to be abusing prescription meds.

P-1: It’s not drugs! The owner of the Hardware store is hung like this!

P-2: Coach, she’s addicted to ampersands and small gs.

P-3: Theme song: Moving on Down, to the West Side

Well for someone who refuses to rat out his mom, AQuad is sure doing a poor job of it. And speaking of poor jobs, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is ready:

Panel one should have the laugh track of the wicked witch of the east off of Wizard of Oz for the background sound.
