Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 17, 2014

A box of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs — isn’t that the cereal from Calvin and Hobbes?

Let’s see…little sister has bulimia? Younger siblings in this strip seem prone to health conditions.

Here we go again!

Quite a “thud,” looks like – it loosened two twigs attached to the back of big brother’s head. I’m with you, Luke. Can hardly wait to see where this one is headed.

Nice tribute to Calvin and Hobbes on the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

The female looks like a small child in P1. Gadzooks! It’s Kelly Ripa playing a role in this season’s Milford Masterpiece Theatre. Now if only GilPa can get Michael Strahan to enroll for the fall term.

And how did the basketball teams finish the season? All we get today are two generic kids we’re supposed to care about.

If this is the Haskins household, then these must be the two loving siblings, Hillary and Harley. And if you’re a young, single guy, don’t ask out Hillary because Harley has some big brother, over-protective, possibly-incestuous issues that he’s dealing with because people keep posting videos on-line of wardrobe malfunctions of his younger sister. (Or maybe I’m getting these two mixed up with another Milford family)

In all reality, the older brother who hit his eye was going to be Gils ace pitcher and cleanup hitter who will be plauged with vision problems. He will need special glasses but will refuse to wear them because kids make fun of him. Gil solves the problem by having the entire team wear glasses. They miss the playoffs. Move on to summer and Mimi by the pool.

Nice creepy hand, could it be Rhondo Hatton, Jr?

Calvin’s cereal!!! First thing I noticed! Nice shout out to Watterson.

I don’t feel a sense of closure to the Wynn & Wendy story-I still don’t know why Wynn goes so overboard

Well it looks like Mr. Reality has this one figured out. At least we don’t have to worry anymore about a “Wynn win” situation

The Milford boys were tied with Central at one loss a piece, then lost to New Thayer and then to Central. Ergo, Central finished first in the conference. Fin.

Hey everyone! You know what I just noticed? That girl is eating Calvin’s cereal! I’m the very first one to point this out, right?

“THUD”……….. very appropriate word for today. Kind of sums up the end to that last story-line. Can’t say I am too surprised by the ending though.

Haskins is the name the Thorp children – after plastic surgery – are using because they are in the witness protection program and are living with another family, which has recently moved to Milford, not knowing that’s where the children are from. They are going to enroll in Milford and play sports, but are going to be mis-coached by the Thorp parents, who don’t recognize their own children. The boy is going to discover Gil doing something dastardly to one of the Milford baseball team members, and while trying to protect the player, he kills Gil. Then he marries Mimi. Only after they have a child and a DNA test is run on it for some reason is it discovered that Mimi is her husband’s mother. It’s a comic strip version of Oedipus Rex. This ought to get us through the summer months to football season.

Knox Foley, to sue the cabinet installation company.

First off, that’s 3 losses. Secondly, it seems that in Gilworld, only the first place team in the Valley Conference makes the playdowns. Or who knows, maybe the boys will be back playing again tomorrow. Things change, kids disappear…you never know.

Pretty late, but here you go.
