Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 31, 2024

We’re all getting tricked.

What the hell is this crap?

This was bad enough once. Now it’s an annual thing?!? Berrill must be turning in his grave.

I guess the Count doesn’t embrace failure

P1.5- …..but my reign of irresponsibility and snoozing continues with the classy barkeep with bangs.

It would be awesome if this writer’s reign of terror over this strip would end. Sooner than later.

Berrill has been turning in his grave ever since HB and new “artists” came aboard.

P4 Count Thorpula: “Especially not to you, Owen Wilson!”

Count Chocula > Count Thorpula.

ha ha jami they dont even let you appear in a holiday strip

count thorp fighting zombie meemaw would have been more interesting

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Oh, huh, Gil Thorp as a vampire is gonna be a cherished annual tradition now? I’m not complaining, mind you. Far from it! I do question some of the vampire world-building here, though. Why would you bother getting into a sword fight if you were a vampire? No metal blade can harm you! You could simply knock the mortal’s weapon aside with your bare hand and begin drinking his delicious blood.

It’s as much a cherished tradition as MILFord personnel dying on the court/field and miraculously being brought back to life (CPR/defibrillation in real life are far less successful than this writer or Hollywood would have you believe).

BITE ME!

Who is Count Thorpula fighting? Wrong answers only. (I’m assuming it’s supposed to be Coach Perm, but where is his perm?) And speaking of where is, where is today’s Mopped Up Thorp? Oh, it’s right here: moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/halloween-lunacy/

I’m so old, I remember when Gil Thorp would say “Merry Christmas!”

Count Thorpula can turn into a baseball bat.

Compare today’s strip from past October 31 strips from the early 2000s.

Rachel’s art is a lot better today than it is with the sports action or peanut and the gang.

Beth is down for the Count.

Now everything’s cool

Gil’s a part of the band

And this goofy strip

Has got out of hand.

I especially like the neon sign outside of his secret lair.
