Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 13, 2023

“Now Marty Moon gets stitches!”

It’s mid-December. Has this basketball team played a game yet? Who won? If we do see the start of a game, after the first few shots it will probably cut away to girls’ wrestling or Kaz’s Hanukkah celebration, and we shall never know how it turned out. Next up – ice hockey!

P3: Old show biz adage: Always leave ’em laughing.

Mr. Reality, I got feeling that Wednesday the 13th is going to be a really bad day. Lookout!

Point shaving on the horizon?

What happened to you and ToBe flippin’ burgers at the Bucket, Rod?

Ha Ha Ha! Ja Ja Ja!

We are never going to learn whether Rimshot won her wrestling match, are we?

P1- The ants may have moved indoors for Winter, but alien orbs continue probing outdoors looking for signs of intelligent life in The Valley.

An inconspicuous ride for a budding illegal shoe dealer don’t you think?

Flippin flip flops

Why is there a “g” in “making”? Shouldn’t it be “makin’ a killin’ flippin’ shoes”?

Also, is that supposed to mean something?

This is a test of the Emergency Comic Strip Removal System. Writers and artists, in cooperation with the Comic Strip Quality Assurance System have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of a catastrophic failure in the intelligence and lack of substance of a particular strip by this writer. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed to copy the strip and post it on as many social media platforms as possible to inform the reading public as to its basic lack of anything pertinent, sensible or coherent…… This is only a test.

“Less” time selling vapes? Flipping shoes? Did you two learn nothing?

P1: Orion’s belt is really quite visible tonight. Why is it sideways though?

Dead Man’s Curve, it’s no place to play

Dead Man’s Curve, you best keep away

We’re waaaay overdue for a new character introduction. C’mon Hank, bring on the homeless transvestite Ukranian immigrant with a lisp, who also happens to be a deadeye three-point shooter, who will almost single handedly propel the Larks to second or third in the Valley.

in the hollywood reporter they said henry was dating the woman from the jardiance commercial so hes distracted

jami will pay top dollar for a pair of uggs

kwan is offering two for one manicures for Kwanzaa

They were in juvie MONTHS ago. Why are they talking about it like they just got out?

Is the whole team in that car, like the clowns at the circus?

We’re on a road to nowhere

Come on inside

Takin’ that ride to nowhere

We’ll take that ride

Let’s just focus on writing about HS sports and less time dealing soap opera crap.

Shouldn’t P 1 be “let’s just focus on less winning and more dealing vapes”?

A little self promotion here, but if you need any cleanup work done on your car, I’m your man. Check out the headlights on Rod’s car. I shined those babies just as well as any Milford floor. And speaking of floors, you might end up on the floor laughing at today’s Mopped Up Thorp. If you are super easily amused that is.
