Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 21, 2025

P1: Is that Gil, or did Alley Oop and Rex Morgan have a baby?

P2: Mimi must have been kidnapped by the same gang that cut up J Paul Getty III’s ear.

Is Keri her daughter too? Besides, didn’t Mimi move to Arizona? Long way to drive the kids to school.

Opps, I took a step on the quicksand.

Mimi: “Have you tried talking to your daughter?”

Gil: “Have you tried not abandoning your family?”

Any other sports comics out there?

The pot calling the kettle black. When have you engaged in a conversation with your daughter? How’s the mini tour and Monday qualifier’s working out fer ya?

Rachel was improving her artwork but seems to be regressing.

Ack in the day, Marty Moon was the villian in this strip. Now he a sad and drunken man and Mimi is the one. So much for what seemed to be an amicable divorce. Let the finger pointing begin.

P 2.5 (Gil): “…I have!…and according to her therapist, she’s definitely got some emotional issues…in addition to her PTSD from the fake shooter drill, she is blaming herself for her mother turning gay and leaving the family and rarely even visiting her and her brother, but good point!…I should talk to her and make her understand that none of this is her fault…”

“..and oh yeah Mimi…I almost forgot…screw you, b!tch…”

Henry’s hatred of Mimi, a gay woman he essentially created himself, is in many ways the most fascinating of this strip. Distasteful, sure, but interesting.

Strap her down to a gurney, shove a tube down her throat, and force feed her.

“Are you kidding me? I’m saving a ton on groceries.”

Note from a fan: Dear Gil, c’mon Dude! She’ll start eating when you install the Vomitorium she wanted for her Birthday!

Look who’s talking. The mother who left them for HER happiness.

Henry has completely destroyed 2 classic characters and today’s strip really emphasizes that fact.

Wonder what is happening with Marty?

Not sure where that barren landscape came from when we’ve seen the house is in a crowded subdivision. And speaking of crowded, it sometimes gets crowded at Mopped Up Thorp from the hordes of fans trying to read it.

Panel 4: “OK, Mimi. C U Next Tuesday then”

Hey, what’s the deal? I don’t get any lines today? And why did they give me a Prince Valiant haircut since yesterday’s strip?

Is Gil on his knees in the snow or did he bring out a stool to sit on?

I’m sorry I haven’t been around to read and respond! AMA!
