Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 01, 2020

Behold, the product of a Milford education: he can count to two.

He counted to two and ended up at his pinky finger?

“And one … that’s four on Knappe.”

P1, So, just like you, eh Mr. Mayor?

P2, The Mayor, frustrated at the lack of silverware at the table attempts to use The Flying Fickle Finger Of Fate as a knife.

P3, Are you really counting The Mayor as an athlete, genius?

P1 Does that mean the kids in the day care center can’t hit a curveball or that the students can’t play baseball but they know how to make babies???

P2 I wondered why we did not see Ardis Carhee when Milford played Tilden this year. What the deuce is Ardis in the Big House for…grand theft auto?

So how long does Mike have to sit there before someone takes his order for a bagel and peanut butter?

P2- Arrgghh Mateys. Call Pirate TV! The Mayor’s finger sprung a leak.

Great! You can enroll at my school!

Ok…great!…now that we’ve discussed day care two days in a row and that every kid R&W show from MHS with a Mohawk haircut is a cynical smart ass, it would be great to get to the point

In all reality , Guys, there’s this little girl in daycare that can hit a golf ball a mile !

P3: If you count two, why are you showing five?

P2 – Based on the last couple of strips, Mike should be saying, “GAAAAA! Where did you come from? How did you materialize sitting next to me while I was speaking?”

And speaking of materializing, a new Mopped Up Thorp has materialized, right here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

You have to look at the color version, but what is with Hiawatha’s shirts? A green base layer with an orange ripped sleeves shirt over it. And the long-sleeved green shirt has orange cuffs. Is it Halloween or something?

Ellis, have you been influencing the writer og Mother Goose and Grim? See Sunday, May 31

Hey bloggers let’s hear it for a new month entirely dedicated to Mrs. Cleaver!

P 1: oh, that Mayor…he’s so funny!…I guess he still has it, even at VMHS, with day care center and all

Is it possible that we are building up to a “hey-kids-let’s-put-on-a-show” ending?!?

‘I call him ’Ardis Carkeys’, because he was arrested for Grand Theft Auto."

P2: “Actually, Ardis is originally from Hawaii so, yeah, we wound up playing Hula hoops together.”
