Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 23, 2015

I think “And I wanted to see if you still had the same haircut as Attila the Hun” would be more accurate.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz …

We need Fist Pump Man in that first panel.

Hey chiphilton, at least we have Lobster Boy and The Human Chia Pet in P1.

You can tell Milford isn’t the big city. The newspaper stand isn’t chained to the sign pole.

On behalf of Mimi, Kaz, two missing kids and myself, have a safe and reflective Memorial Day!Old Gil

In all reality , I wanted to run some ideas up the flag pole and see if you’ll salute them . I want to spitball and get some blow back from you True .

As Cabana Boy Pedro operates the pool skimmer, a pitcher of mojitos is icing down at poolside awaiting Queen T after her Nair session. Pedro is wearing his European style trunks to adhere to Mimi’s strict dress code. Meanwhile, Gil gases up at Speedco, grabs a sandwich at Subwich and arrives at Milford CC to begin his summer of putzing around the course. Moonpie is poised to commence his summer of losing at Milford Downs. The showers at MHS will be dry until 2 a days in September.

From here, they will continue to insult each other (like TV), where they end up kissing in the middle of CC…it’s a classic TV love/hate relationship.

I wish, I wish. How about we return to the Jeep and the Everly Brothers sing Dead Man’s Curve or maybe we recreate Teen Angel.

How existential would it be if they guy leaving the cafe is about to buy a paper to see what’s happening in Gil Thorp?

P1 looks like the dancers in those old iPod ads taking a break between photo shoots.

In all reality , the B side of Jan & Deans Dead Mans Curve was a song called New Girl in School . This song is a classic teen song . Played it everyday after school at Victor B’s " Where Gage Park’ s Elite Meet and Eat .i

Jan and Dean started as kind of a ‘doo wop’ “50’s” duo. They ‘switched gears’ – pun intended – when the Beach Boys had success with the car and surfing songs in the early “60’s”. Brian Wilson was actually co-writer of “Dead Man’s Curve.”

Boo wanted to see if Tru(e) had a smart mouth? Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? Literally, at least in P1. And I am literally getting sick of waiting for some damn plot to develop. And speaking of waiting, you do not have to wait any longer for today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Head exploding!

Darn, that would have been good in MUT.

The Comedy Central Café?
