Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 26, 2021

Melvil Dewey would be so proud

Dewey like the way this story is going?

Good to see this strip returning to teen oriented issues…

In all reality , Nice matching oufits, must mean Zanie and Katy are going steady .

I used to wonder what Dennis Miller would say if he had a day without any significant calamities.

P2 “Chill Zane, you gotta finish your vegetables before you go!!!”P3 Your old man has gone psycho about the Library, he is the one who needs to Chill. It is my happy place and I hope he doesn’t mess it up"

I hope this puts “Debbie Does Denver” and the Frito BanBrito’s library fixation to rest and we can now get back to the Larks and their quest for second in the Valley. I’m looking forward to a week of InZane’s emergence as Gilpa’s number one starter and CK donning the tools of ignorance as well as taking over the coaching reins in softball.

Well played young Zane(y), the “In fact maybe I’ll go there now” is an outstanding shutdown of reda$$’s incessant library operational efficiency rants based on what he observes 30 minutes before closing on all two of his visits, maybe Burrito should show up around 3:30 or 4 in the afternoon to see how slow things are then

P1 blond hair, black eyebrows? No detail escapes the GT color artists

Someone who can put two and two together and get six isn’t interested in facts.

Brito had it coming, no doubt. But when you embarrass a guy like that in his own house, it’s like a rag to a bull. In a china shop. He’ll be even more determined to destroy the library now.

P1, You’re a little young for Depends, son, Gil, not so much.

P2, Since the Covid the libraries here close at 6. Maybe you can bring that outdated computer and use the Wifi though.

P3, Now you’re just talking out your azz, Zane.

I miss the black and white strips

P2- Barely Abel to contain his emotions, Mr. Burrito looks like someone force fed him a rancid Dutch Oven.

P 2.5: “….except you, Jonah Jameson….you’re even dumber than you look, if that’s even possible….”

Wow, that’s one way of getting out of having to eat that onion/bean/cottage cheese plate!

P2: Abe Sicario is thinking: “I’m not too sure that tall kid will fit in my acid barrel.”

Hasn’t Burrito got his Wi-fi fixed yet?

I’m currently scrapping plans I had for a for-profit library.

Today would be a good day to say that Zane got heated. And again, I cannot believe that a red blooded American teenage girl has not screamed at her dad by now. They are not a placid species. In fact they are volatile!

P-1: Zane confesses his addiction. He’s hooked on Phonics.

P-2: Trying to confuse our bloggers again about the location Milford, Zane reverts to a terrible Southern accent.

P-3: “I don’t complain!!!?” What have you been doing since you sat down at the table? All my dad was trying to do is (sort of like Sesame Street) show you and the bloggers the difference between Board and Bored. I’m pretty sure he did a fine job and I’m proud of him.

Next week: A discussion on TIF taxing districts and how ROI is calculated using the FIFO depreciation method for library resources. Oh, and Brito gets mad again.

I got a color TV so I can see the Knicks play basketball….

Well, by now what hasn’t been said? I’ll just say that Mopped Up Thorp is online.
