Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 09, 2013

I’m lost already

I don’t care whose house it is. Who are the people?On first reading, I thought Julie is coming for a visit; standing girl doesn’t like Julie; girl is leaving.

Let’s not complain. At least Wendy Wiley speaks.

At first I thought Wendy Wiley had just gotten out of the shower and was wearing a towel on her head and another around her neck. Apparently these are her hair and jacket. Also, someone might want to run a vacuum.

And another thing…Wendy should get that asymmetrical mole checked out.

Shift change!

SOOO….new season, new characters. Julie and Wendy gas up at Speedco, eat at The Bucket and search for a magic peacock.

“Julie” undoubtedly will turn out to be some unsavory male. Milford drug kingpin, son and heir apparent to organized crime leader, bookmaker, prostitution ring leader, or something along those lines. Probably have Milford throwing basketball games and missing the playdowns again.

I remember reading the strips last week, but did we actually have a conclusion to Big John’s storyline and romance with Angie? Did we just cash in the end of football season like most of the NCAA did? Will the boys get out of the hospital in time for basketball season? Will we have a Thorp family Christmas greeting this year? We’ve got a lot of unanswered questions hanging out there in Milford, and now we’ve got some new characters.

In all reality, whats wrong with Wendy s brother ? Is he Big John s cousin who also doesn t talk ?

Not wanting to go to the dance with her brother? Wendy is the first normal kid in this strip in ages!

“It’s just a dance, it’s my element”…OH MY GOD SOMETHING AWFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

Her element? Is she a stripper on the side? Do I have the correct web address today? Is that a pasty on her cheek?

Wendy will meet ‘molly’ and wind up twerking at the dance, this plot sounds like " Mamma’s don’t let your baby girls grow up to be Miley Cyrus."

If Julie is about to pull in, who’s pulling out?

It appears Ellisburkes is the guest author for today’s “DUPLEX” strip!
