Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 23, 2019

Plenty of room for Marty to pull up a chair if the ladies aren’t too appalled by the scar running the length of his face.

Panel 3. Looks like his wandering eye has already wandered elsewhere.

Hey! You get right back in this socket NOW!

Wilma! Where’s Fred?

P1 Where the deuce are these guys, in Germany? They have some pretty big beer steins at Barney’s…plus when did the moon man switch to beer?

P1, Barney’s Pub is famous for using pitchers instead of mugs which makes it Marty’s favorite.

P2, Hello, ladies. . . Marty tapped a few keys at pickuplines.com before stumbling over.

P3, Isn’t it about time for Marty to broadcast one of the girls games or did they disband the team to make them all cheerleaders to root for the two-win boys team.

In all reality , Marty replies to the comment in P 3 , Look Dog Face why don’t you go outside and chase a car. Now Git !

All four men with beer; all four women with wine — PC still hasn’t reached Milford.

Okay, so what’s on the other side of the window Marty’s staring at?

Marty, don’t stare right into the camera!

It would be cool if Marty was being transfixed by billboard 4: Fire Marty Moon, uh, Too! But maybe Gotta B Robby is strolling past with the station manager and one of those dangerously overflowing mugs, getting ready to ink a four-digit contract…

How does the pub get the foam to stay in place, partially overflowing the mugs?

Barney’s Pub, where loud belching is the norm.

One thing Marty hates is being ignored.

No big hands today, although Marty looks like he has the hands of an 80 year-old in P1. He should try Palmolive.

We do have an up nostril shot in P3. That used to be another of their favorite style of drawing.

P1 – “Hi, I’m Marty Moon, local radio celebrity and all around good guy. When I’m not trying to run Gil Thorp out of town or viciously ridiculing high school athletes on the air, you can find me at Barney’s Pub. Barney’s Pub – where you don’t have to wait to get your buzz on!”

Marty drinking draft out of the mega mug. Think of this like stretching before working out. Moonpie is stylin’ & profilin’ with a fresh Caesar salad haircut and application of Grecian Formula and Just for Men (or black shoe polish).

All right Thorpians, place your bets. who will suffer the first case of EES this year?

How would Marty know all of these women? I understand Mimi ; but the rest of the “girls”??

Guess the deflector shield didn’t work

He looks shocked to discover that all women don’t immediately swoon over a guy who covers high school sports on the radio.

Put a vest, hat, and spurs on him in panel three and “Gollleee Matthew” you got yourself a Festus Hagen.
