Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 07, 2023

Kaz still hasn’t figured out just what this “Hanukkah” thing is all about or how you pronounce it, but he knows it involves potato pancakes!

Why hello, handsome! Not you, Jami … yeesh.

the sufganiyot and 7 nights of crazy socks what I remember most about Hanukkah. Oh, the 8th night was the one big ‘good’ present.

So Gil, how’s Luke doing? Yesterday he ran around like a chicken, which was a good day for him.

Jami sure is special

Jami: Uncle Kaz. Can I can ketchup on my tater cakes?

Where’s Marty? He would fit in with the beatnik crowd.

On a somber note, remember those who lost loved ones today December 7, 1941. A day that will live in infamy.

Well, well. Who do we have here? Nice to meet you Kaz. I’m Leo’s nana.

Is that Dotty Dubbs in P2, there to make the room smell pretty?

So the whole wrestling uniform controversy falls by the wayside. I think this strip needs to up its ADHD medica…hey, look! A squirrel!

Apparently Kaz’s latkes have the power to get Keri to emerge from her funk and to turn a suddenly youthful Jami’s blue eyes brown. Another Hannukah miracle.

Kaz is in store for eight crazy nights. I guess the wrestling confrontation was resolved (?)

Tomorrow’s episode: Draidles are Tops.

panal three i nominate disturbing panal of the year

gil wonders if kaz might have some pickled pigs feet to munch on

is jami auditioning for the remake of that movie where the kid puts his tongue on the metal pole

When was the last time you saw someone lick their lips when presented with something to eat.

Go right on those latkes Jami.

P 3: Jami…. What a tool

P3- Where can I get a shirt like that?

Yay! More diversity! Did they invite the Hijab-wearing wrestler?

“Couldn’t your wife come?”

“Oh, she coming. Just not with ME!”

Nice to see the Hanukkah shout-out, but those latkes look like chocolate chip cookies.

Darn, wish we could see all those guests better. Is that Chelsea Handler, Teddy Roosevelt, and Hans Gruber on the couch? And speaking of the couch, you better sit down on the couch before you read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P 3 (Keri thought bubble): “…as soon as he leans forward a little more, I’ll push his face into the plate…”

P3-“Betcha can’t eat just one.”

“Jami!!!!!!!!! Don’t hog them all!!!!!!!! Save a couple for Ericka!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Heard at Kaz’s party by Jami Thorp when he’s sitting on the john with the doors closed

“Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer latkeeeeeeeee…”
