Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 25, 2017

In hell do they run the same strip every day?

Sunday was a cruel tease, leading us to think we were getting Gil, or at least the strip named after him, seven days a week. Did anyone take a screen shot with the Sept. 24 date on it? Could be a collector’s item.

In all reality , Okay I’ll bite , Where is Dad ? Inquiring minds want to know .

Gil-hog’s Day

Cutting edge technology. Gil Thorp strip on Sunday and mulligan Monday. P3- That heaping bowl of porridge will slow Oliver, err, Rickey down. Please Mum, may I have another? P4- Marty steps into the scene remarking, kid, if you want to get ahead in life, you’ve got to pick a pocket or two.

Figured yesterday had to be a mistake. Would have been cool though if they went to a standard Sunday style strip every week with 8 panels in color.

Then again, it’s hard enough to move this strip along when only doing 3 panels 6 days a week.

Even the colorized version from Seattle appeared on Sunday. Double dupe.

Seinfeld might say, “Who are these people?”

P1, Scrappy Doo/Howdy Doody should wear the helmet all the time. Gil practicing his cigar store Indian impersonation for the next big talent show.

P2, Uncle Tonoose, trying to get nephew Rick(ey) an audition so he can continue to live off the boy’s talent.

P3, Rick(ey)(?) and his mom, sister, sister wife, who knows and who cares? She won’t be seen again anyway.

So, the first game is days away. What is that in Milford time anyway? ETA Halloween for the opener.

So…….. Are we supposed to go repost our comments from yesterday too?

P4: “…I beg your pardon?…”

Is the Uncle talking to Jackie Chan or Jackie Mason?

First game in October? In Michigan there are usually two games in August, before the first day of school.

Come on! Who heartsied a rerun?

And speaking of coming on, if you’ve been saying, “Come on, where’s Saturday’s Mopped Up Thorp?”, wait no longer. It is here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

Hopefully I can do today’s strip later tonight.

I heartsie The Real Deal, Rick Soto, not Evander Holyfield. In P3 the kid resembles the bastard son of Jenny Fields and Coach Jon Dowd or a long lost brother of BBJ. Whatever happened to Jon after he was cleared of sexual misconduct?
