Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 10, 2023

As a gay guy I’m all for representation but… kinda rolling my eyes that he comes out in a panel where he’s showing off his skills with nail polish (but what should I expect.)

He did pick up on the lingo, though…yas indeed.

Why isn’t the lake frozen if she can see her breath?

I didn’t know that kids from Valley Tech and Milford High were friends.

Here we go again …

This is an In Living Color skit waiting to happen-Men on Gil Thorp!

Feelings

Nothing more than feelings

Trying to forget my feelings of love

Teardrops

Rolling down on my face

Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings

For all my life I’ll feel it

I wish I’ve never met you, girl

You’ll never come again

Feelings

Whoa o feelings

Whoa o feelings

Again in my arms

Somewhere Burton C@mmings is enjoying a hoagie.

So, who was the second?

Yeah, Kwan didn’t earn that Korean Medal of Honor thing, so his family disowned him. Now he’s like the old Jami and Keri, abandoned overseas by his parents. And speaking of abandoning, abandon whatever you’re doing and go read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Oh please………..

8 out of 10? I think not. Which is what Rene Descartes said just before he promptly disappeared. With apologies for the dad/grandpa joke.

You don’t know how to ease my pain / You don’t know / You don’t know how to ease my pain / You don’t know what the sound is darlin’ / It’s the sound of my tears fallin’ / Or is it the rain? / You don’t know how to play the game / You cheat / You lie / You make me wanna cry / You make me wanna cry /Cry… / You make me wanna cry /You don’t know how to ease my pain / You don’t know / You don’t know how to ease my pain / Don’t you hear any voices cryin’? / That’s the sound of my love(?) dyin’ / Here comes the rain /You don’t know how to play the game / You cheat / You lie / You don’t even know how to say goodbye / You make me wanna cry / You don’t know / You don’t even know how to say goodbye / You make me wanna cry / You don’t even know how to say goodbye / You make me wanna cry / Cry… / Cry / Cry / Cry

I really like the way each day’s strip progresses from the previous day.

What a Korean nightmare it’s going to be when Kwan explains to his parents that he wants to be a nail technician.

Yay. Are there any straight kids at Milford?

So, is everyone in Milford LGBTIQA+ now?

P 4: “…you didn’t even tell Tobe?…”

hey kwan I heard herb and jamals soul food resterant has some good vittles

Gil’s thinking about hiring Luke is now clear—both Pedro and the Nightmare transfer to MHS!

Also, Inma is happy that Tobe and Rod have been sprung—the good vapes are back!

Just what we needed—- a new, arcane plot twist. For those who have not seen it, Bill Maher recently delivered an excellent monologue on the LBGT “movement”. According to statistics, at the present rate in 30 years we will all be gay . Something for you young bucks to look forward to .

“You’re soaking in it.”

“Ooooooo, Madge, is that grease????”

“Relax, Inma. If Palmolive won’t blot out the golf cart grease, my nail polish will.”

No golf today? I’m getting pretty wicked off right now.

Ooh, ooh, am I in today’s strip? Dang, not yet. Probably tomorrow!

“…I miss the food…”…what’s wrong Kwon? You don’t like amaaazing sloppy joes?

How about Men on Football-remember In Living Color?
