Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 27, 2023

When day comes we step out of the shade,

aflame and unafraid

The new dawn blooms as we free it

For there is always light,

if only we’re brave enough to see it

If only we’re brave enough to be it

Amanda is amazing.

Children? They’re all 15-18 years old!!!!

Not sure how the business side of notable poet appearance fees work, but the Milford HS budget might have just gotten blown out of the water.

All due respect but which of Barajas’ many open-ended story lines does this go with?

I’ve always found it amusing/unfortunate that Black History Month is also the shortest of the months. (Who decided it should be February, anyway? Why not March, with a full 31 days, or at least April, with 30?)

Children?

By waiting until the next to the last day of the month to call attention to Black History Month? I guess all of the budget cuts eliminated calendars also.

Well, at least we can scratch several states off of the list of where Milford might be.

P1: I have full confidence Atlanta’s Major League Baseball team can accomplish that.

Political correctness

If only we’re brave enough to be what? Followers of his meandering train of thought?

I’m surprised it took until the next to last day of February to get to this.

She’s probably one of Mimi’s former players doing her a “favor” by making a free appearance at this budget-crunched school.

I think you have to approach Gil Thorp as individual 3 panel comics.

vape and stock cars and black history month oh my

This strip has turned to S***

I can’t wait till Cinco de Mayo.

I can hardly wait for April 20th.

P4- “And you, you old windbag, need to learn that we’re not children.”

Zzzzzz…..

OMG ! Yet another story line !!! When are we going to find out if Gil got lucky on his anniversary ? Or, did Mimi use that occasion to tell Gil she has the hots for her golf coach ?

P-4: Gee, Teacher, we’re having enough trouble learning to read and write, Let alone multiplication without a calculator. Now, you’re talking about History and Icons! What’s that, some kind of vocabulary thing?

There’s only one more day to acknowledge “National Hot Breakfast Month”. Let’s hope we can get to that tomorrow.

Wait a minute, is that Marjie teaching…English class? Not only did she unretire from the newspaper, she’s also hired into Milford High as a teacher? That lady has way too much free time. And speaking of free time, if you’ve got any free time, then you should be using it to read Mopped Up Thorp.

I don’t remember any teacher referring to us in high school as “children”
