Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 31, 2025

I share a birthday with Jackie Robinson! Let’s all wish Jackie a happy birthday!

Somebody must have said the writing needed some punching up to make it more interesting.

Bold words from someone who just lost.

Henry’s desperate attempt to draw replies. Maybe Rachel can draw some of those replies?

Tilden chickie should know better than pick a fight with a vulcan. check those ears out in P1.

Pugnacious Peanut punch’s a soon Tobe puffed cheek. Like Ali, Peanut circled left.

WHAM! Pale girl goes down. Wake her up before you go-go.

Hangry girls!

Rachel can learn how to draw sports scenes by watching the new Spiderman series on Disney+. Actually accurately drawn football scenes.

Henry only plagiarizes from the better Rocky films.

Who does green tights girl think she is? Russian boxer from Rocky movie?

That punch is loaded with the power of 2 baby carrots and a dream.

P 2 (Green tights girl): “…Hey!…are you preggers again?…”

what a horrible cat fight boo will the amazon break it up hopefully !!!!

a milford youth was killed on his way to a puckerpuss concert in a car crash only idenified as torch he never got to polka in milford polka city

wham bam thank you mam thank you sir may i have another

P-1: After shrinking a foot since yesterday, Keri’s Banter, hearing so few hoorays, turns into the Hulk.

P-2: Demonstrating her lack of wrestling knowledge, The Green Lantern pushes too low to knock an anorexic bundle of issues off balance.

P-3: Now, that’s what I call wraslin!

Are we supposed to know who these people are?

Let the truth be known:

Gil Thorp – role model for sportsmanship and his kid is getting in fights at sports contests. Kind of summarizes the wrong turn this strip has taken.

do I detect some expression on these faces. Perhaps this new style is finding its footing.

Didn’t Keri punch someone once before? And will she get away with it this time too?

Closed fist in wrestling? That’s a warning.

We got a WHAM-BAM-shang a lang and a sha la la la la l thing

On this day in Gil Thorp History, 02/28/1989

Bitsy: Abby! Oh wow! What are you doing hereAbby: I’m visiting my dad….So I came to see the game tonightAbby: He said you were helping the trainer tape the guys….pretty neatBitsy: Ahhh….It’s notingAbby: So what’s new? Are you going with anyone?Bitsy: Are you kidding? This place is the pits Abby! I hate it.

For a moment, the writers should have changed the comic strip to “Bitsy Twill”

Anime-style characters are debuted. “I summon Pikachu!”

P 3 (Peanut): “…break this, b!tch….”

P-1: Greenie stick-em cap fails to think things through. If she breaks Keri in half, she’ll have to face a tag team. On the Good side, in half, Keri could date both Pedro & Them

P-3: Sorry Henry, too late! I gave up Sherlocks for the New Year.

Make Gil Thorp Great Again!

Tomorrow, peanut goes viral with all kinds of hilarious captions. Add yours below. There are no wrong ones either.

Well this is bad news for Gil. He’ll probably have to substitute teach for two classes in order to get Keri out of this mess. And speaking of order, did you order today’s Mopped Up Thorp?

I think Pedro taught her how to make a fist.
