Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 26, 2024

Yas, the heartbreak of psoriasis can be crushing.

Sooo…there’s what, a minute or less left in the game vs. Valley Tech and Gil’s having this conversation now?

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

P2.5 “Are you sure about that, ToBe? I thought I saw her making out with the janitor behind the concession stand when I went to get a hotdog at halftime.”

How much does being a freelance abortion enthusiast pay these days? Any benefits?

Gil has a personal conversation and feigns support saying “they’re here for you?”

Mel’s working? Is Limp Biskit in town?

Ok, I’m lost again. What about “The shot”? I assume it went in as missed shots aren’t really discussed. And I love how Gil has time for life lessons while the game is going on. A real multitasker.

Perhaps if Gil focused on this game he chose to attend, there wouldn’t be this fast break the other way and the need for “The Shot”.

Someone’s never been on a bench during a sporting event.

P 3: Gee… I wonder why?

More awesome coaching by Gil… instead of paying attention to the close game, he’s B-essin with a kid about his mom.

the ref should call tailgating on the guy whos following 21 that close even though its his own team mate

tobe asks if he can watch from the closet next time gil has beth over

tobe sweating it out thinking dam gil get a breathmint if your gonna get triple onions on your hotdog

VT needs to learn how to spread out during a break. #21 is elbowing his teammate to generate some space. And speaking of generating, I’m done generating today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Real harsh. He starts on the baseball team, basketball team and the football team. Poor baby. Maybe the kids on the bench had it harsh too.

P-1: Gil notices “they’s” cramping on the bench.

P-2: Still looking for a hook-up, Gil tries the old “How’s your Mom?” approach, but is deflected.

P-3: Realizing what an egotist Tobi is, Gil tells him he’s there for himself.

P-4: Keri warns dad to leave her pronoun out of this.

P1- We’ve all had a harsh year.

P3- Is she pregnant again?

“Keri told me they’re here for you. Better hide before they find you.”

Another sleepless night -- anxious to find out about “THE SHOT”.Crazy, crazy lack of continuity with way too many story arcs. Like whatever happened with Gilpa and Beth !!!!??

This strip has lost all sense of continuity …..

How did we go from a press conference in Monday’s strip (that obviously was not over) to bench during a game in Tuesday’s? Writer must have ADHD.

Absolutely ZERO continuity. This isn’t a “misdirect”, it’s a pathetic joke. Henry, for all of us Gil Fans, please resign so that someone with the appropriate skill for a daily strip can be hired.

Please read Gil’s dialogue in your best Mark Wahlberg impression.
