Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 10, 2014

P2: The zombie cucumber Lucky inadvertently munched during lunch period takes effect.

P3: Lucky is now Amy’s zombie slave.

Yuck.

Yeah, you’ve got that somethingI think you’ll understandWhen I say that somethingI wanna hold your handI wanna hold your handI wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happyInsideIt’s such a feeling that my loveI can’t hide

Or as Emil Sitka put it in the Three Stooges’ Brideless Groom, “Hold hands, you lovebirds!”

Luck mojo swinging back in his direction, time for Amy to hit the pine once again. High five from Kaz imminent.

In all reality, in P3 a finger lock and hand hold along with a nose rub thats a dangerous luck transfer combination.

In all reality, to all you mothers reading this Happy Mothers Day . Do something nice for Mom even if its making her a piece of toast.

P3- Reminds me of Sally Brown’s expression of affection when with her Sweet Baboo, Linus Van Pelt. Keep it real Mr. Reality. Only Elwood Blues would make his mother a piece of toast.

In all reality, Elwood and Jake Blues were orphans remember, never knew their mother. Didn t have a chance to make her toast.

Awwwww !

Ain’t love grand? I’m enjoying this storyline – it’s taking me way back to my high school days and my “steady” girlfriend, Anita. Sigh.

In P2 Lucky is clearly recovering from an attack of EES.

Anyone else remember in high school when two kids started going steady and the rest of the school felt relieved because it took both of them out of circulation? I’m starting to get that same feeling with these two.

@bearwku82In all reality , the key word is Would . Would you care to join me playing in traffic , I can have Mop arrange a play date.l

So apparently the progression is:1. Dump soda on the other person.2. Rub their head.3. Make out.4. More head rubbing.5. Finally, get to hold their hand.More lowbrow humor today in MUT world.

Is that Jim ring she’s wearing? Uh huh. Where’d you meet him? I met him at the Candy Store, he turned around and I spilled Rootbeer on the Leader of the PACK (as in Cub Scout Pack). I wonder if getting pinned means the same thing , today?

MUT, the hell with two doubles, you’ve hit two homers in a row

Gilfan: If I don’t remember that, does that mean I was one of those that made everyone relieved?

Your comment led to the idea for today’s Mopped Up Thorp. I give credit in these cases under the MUT strip, forgot until just now, I edited it.I was stuck for a while today trying to figure out what to do, then the grabbing idea got it going. Often people’s comments on this site help a lot!

there was a girl in my high school named Anita Guitar

“We’re getting nowhere fast.”

In all reality, there was a stripper who performed at the long gone Show of Show Revue on South State Street, Chicago stage named Anita Mann, the comedians name was Scurvy Miller.

One should always be wary of the phrase “I do”…….

Z-z-z-z-z-z-z…

BRING BACK JERRY JENKINS!

Well, here’s “a” Sunday edition of MUT, not the one you were expecting though. Also, note that I made a slight change to add one more detective to the strip from May 4th. Thanks for the idea, Bitsy.

In all reality , Ma if you didn t like the Dustbuster I would have taken it back. Just remember Ma when the time comes and its coming sooner than you think , I pick the home you re going to. Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers.
