Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 28, 2021

Are these two Mimi and CK? Not only do they change day to day, even from panel to panel. Mimi looks like a senior in HS, not like the senior citizen she should be. But CK is still hilarious…cookies!

Quite a makeover for CK during her absence. What’s next?

Ah. So the giant onion slice was “pork loin”. Good to know.

D*mn, there goes the latest Characters Held Hostage watch in one big ball of flames, Vito from Goshen is not a happy man

You should know by now that you should never take candy, well cupcakes in this case, from a stranger CK, weren’t the Thorp kids last seen in a car speeding out of town eating cupcakes?

P1, Bo didn’t know that was a pork loin.

P2, I’m taking the rest of the season off. We won’t get any screen time as long as the Burrito’s are in this strip, anyway. Oh, and you’re the coach. Just remember, second place is the goal.

P3, I can catch this toss with my eyes closed.

In all reality , Corina you come from a messed up family how messed up is Zane’s compared to yours ,inquiring minds want to know ! OK ,Coach let me think about it, I’ll be talking to you .See ya .

Mimi wants a favor. She’s hoping Corina works cheap (unless the vending machine cupcakes at the school are fresher than any I’ve ever gotten). Coaching assistant?

P3- Besides Tessi Milton, what Milford female athlete would change out of her practice gear, accessorize and present herself as a young lady to have a cupcake tossed to her like she is a circus seal?

“We’re having a little uninhibited pool party Saturday. Could you talk to Tess and a few other good-looking girls into frolicking with us? You don’t have to come yourself, and I’ll give you two coupon for the Diner! Get the sj special!”

P 2.5: “…would you prefer some dried out brownies instead?…”

P 1: they should quit the socializing before they get beaned by a thrown ball

P3.5 sit down Corina, here’s the deal, you’re too good to be on this team and that would threaten our run at second in the Valley by winning it and going deep in the playdowns, you’ve been traded to the boys team for Wilson Henry to be the catcher and player coach, oh and tell Katy and Becca to talk among themselves to figure out which one will take over as coach after your departure

P1 Katy’s stick figure suggests the cooking isn’t great in the Burrito household, backed up by the fact that no snarker correctly identified anything on the plates as meat

“Katy’s Dad has got Zane even more messed up than he ordinarily is, and that’s going to create havoc with the boys’ pitching rotation. So we’re letting out a contract on Katy’s Dad. How much do you charge for a hit? Oh, and word on the street has it that a good place to off him is the entrance to the public library.”

Could be a loooong season for the Lady Larks. P1: #40 is showing off her “palmball” technique she learned from Ed Whitson.

I wonder what problem CK has to solve for Mimi??

Maybe she wants her to settle in at third base.

I’ll be back in a little while. I have to go to the grocery store for some pork loin, pop, cookies and vending machine cupcakes.

I want a phone like Mimi’s, with enough buttons on the keypad to launch a nuclear attack!

P 4: “…so where’s the pop you mentioned?…I’m pretty thirsty…”

Speaking of cookies…

P1: “…..with the beau?” " Beau Bridges? Bo Jangles ?Bo Belinsky? Beau Geste?"

P4 – Corina, do you have any experience cleaning pools?

So she enjoyed the pork, and the food was good too.

Oooh, Mimi calls CK “cupcakes!”

A bow is worthless without arrows

Well, we finally got the sassy, rebellious, hellion Corina back! Check out that viscous comeback in P2! And speaking of comebacks, I’m hoping that daily you come back to Mopped Up Thorp.
