Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 13, 2024

Wasn’t Watto one of the Marx Brothers, the one who studied electricity?

Sign Man, you need to get on these local businesses…even the marquee looks awful, and they are supposed to use a set of premade letters.

Star Wars Episode I was garbage.

Wait… ToBe dumped Dubs to be with Keri, and is fine with bringing her new boo Leo on a double date with them? Is that Yas, Extra, or Grah?

Look both ways before you cross the street today Mr Reality.

Another day, another arc (and no, movies in the 90’s weren’t as good as they are now blondie)

Looks like Keri will be continuing her meatless ways.

P1 While the workmanship of the sign is lacking, its ability to talk and shamelessly self-promote its content is impressive.

P2 Leo uses the old Navajo yawn and stretch technique to get his arm around Dotty Dubbs who is clearly dressed like a street walker looking for love in all the wrong places.

P3 “Say Watto?”

Ah, yes, the good old days of the 90s when Star Wars nerds argued about (checks notes)… Watto and Sebulba?!?! sigh, Good Lord, Henry.

Watto was enlightened. Sadly, he was addicted to fluorescent phosphors.

Episode 1 is probably the WORST Star Wars movie.

Panel 4: “At least we’re all agreed that Jar Jar is the best!”

P2: I’m guessing people can easily infer what “Nani” means, thanks. (Also, is there really such a thing as a life-sized Sebulba [one of the pod-racers, FYI]? And if there is, would you please not tell me about it…?)

meanwhile inma is on a date with hodgi from johnny quest

beth is on all fours and pa thorp is driving it home

rod says eliza cant pinch hit but she can pfffffft all night

P-4: Who cares

P2: Thanks for the clarification. I thought he was referring to Lou Nanne, former Minnesota North Stars General Manager and frequent guest on KFAN.

Fist pump man dates one of these girls?

Why all of a sudden am I being bombarded

P 2 (Leo): “… I saw it the other day right after I ate some of those mushrooms thingys that Tobe and Rod gave me…”

P4: Leo: “Am I hung better than ToBe?”

Dubs: “Well… yes.”

P1- They weren’t camping, they were at the drive-in movies. And you were born nine months later.

P2- Dotty buys a large popcorn on the way out? Maybe she didn’t know how to order it.

P3- Tobe still practicing his ventriloquist act. He’s getting better.

“Jami, I am your father.”

Ummm… I could’ve parsed out what she meant by Nani. And NO ONE camped out for the second trilogy. And Episode One was released in 1999. If her Nani was in high school, that makes her 43 at the most.

Wait, are those stretch marks on Dottie? What do we not know about her past? And are they visiting the Valentine Theater? Mason Jarr’s reopening of the place seems to be a success. And speaking of success, today’s Mopped Up Thorp was just posted with success.

GT is easy dissect sometimes but Pluggers is even better for low hangin’ fruit. Sunday featured a ‘little plugger’, even though everyone knows that there is no such thing as a ‘little’ plugger.

Leo goes all out and wears his Darth Vader helmet to the movie.
