Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 18, 2023

Who is this. Also to his credit he’s trying despite being an immortal man from the 1930s.

I am pleased with the coloring on today’s strip.

E(Me! Me!)ly ETA +6, not there for Keri.

P2.5 Keri: “Soooo…are you saying I have no one because my mother is invisible and self absorbed and Gil parents like he coaches?”

P4 Mel: “There’s only one thing to do – ROAD TRIP!!!”

P4: (Keri thought bubble) Keep holding me like this Mel and I’ll choose you.

Well, maybe a grandkid will put the old zip back in Gil and Mimi’s marriage. Once she nails down her short game of course.

P 4 (Keri): “… ok… write me out of the strip please…”

P4- Ohh Keri. You’re the daughter I always wanted. Sort of.

Gil took the night off and leaves Keri with mosh pit Mel whose child is playing a football game? GilPa must be the b@stard son of Houndini. He disappears without a trace. Perfect time to venture to Central City to visit a pilot and bartender.

P 4 (Mel): “….where they send you before you start to show…”

No game against Tilden today, eh?

Gil’s “behind the times” act always works though as he always finds some schmuck like Mel to do the heavy lifting for him.

panal two hey keri inhale this coffee

you can always go to scottsdale keri

in days of old and nights were bold and toilets werent invented

Ah. So he took her to the only unwed teen mother in the strip.

Artwork particularly abhorrent today.

Smell my coffee

I hope Luke make Gil as proud as Keri has.

P1- Mel gets close to play footsies.

P2- That’s just gross!

P3- “Thanks, but I’ll stick with Pedro.”

Tomorrow, Jami gets on the phone with Mimi and asks “…what’s ‘preg-nant’ mean?…”

Yes choose life or butchering a baby

Not to be gross, but is Keri shooting a loogie into Mel’s coffee in P2? And speaking of gross, Mopped Up Thorp is often gross, though not today. Just the usual trying to escape theme.
