Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 24, 2020

“Phoebe! This is a surprise. When did you get a job as a pool boy?”

Do they still have sports in Milford and what is GilPa doing all this time…still hangin at MCClub?? R & W have turned this strip into a teeny bopper soap opera and taken the definition of boring to a whole new level!!!!

P 2 In all reality , You must try my special chocolate chip cookie wrapped in Kleenex , you eat everything even the Kleenex . Um, thanks but no thanks Mrs True .

P4- Phoebe- It shouldn’t be a surprise, I sent a carrier pigeon to let you know I was coming.

P1, When Barry Bader’s dad got high he went to live in prison.

P2, Hmm, just a few weeks ago Mary Worth was feeding chocolate chip cookies to a petulant young girl, too. Coincidence? I think not.

P3, What’s surprising is how much younger than Phoebe you look, Mimi.

Only 5 Comments, you may be losing followers.

P 2.5: “..you, on the other hand, should leave immediately while you can…”

P2- Brent Raptor used to have THAT look when food was within arms length.

“This is a surprise. I was hoping we weren’t going to see all of you for awhile. Are you going to name the baby Kazz?”

P4 I lost my sunglasses can I check your bedroom?

Those chocolate chips are very evenly distributed.

So…Mo understands just how disturbed Mrs. Standish is because she won’t leave Milford.

I’ve completely lost track of the characters and the plot, assuming there is one.

P 2.5: “…here…you look like you like to eat…a lot!…so have a cookie…”

Every time I think I know where this is going, off we go somewhere else. Is that Mrs. Gil in P3? Also, seems like Tru’s dad has figured out how to stay married. Stay away as much as possible! Genius!

P1 Dad changed his name to Charles Kuralt and is in another strip in Canada with a new family.

P4. Hi Keri. Is your mom home?

I am sure students show up at their coaches homes all the time

Hello Mrs. Thorpe. I came by to see if Jamie was here. He promised to take me to the movies tonight.

Mimi, “Jamie, who’s Jamie? No one lives here by that name.”

P1 – Mrs. Standish is aging dramatically, just since Saturday!

P2 – Get out of there, Corina! The ants are getting worse. And news flash, those aren’t chocolate chips or raisins in those cookies!

P3 – All the students know where the Thorps live? I’ll bet they get their house tp’d and egged quite often.

And speaking of egging, I don’t think I need to egg you on to get you to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Yes, this is getting a little boring. But just wait for the ripped-from-the-headlines, pool-helper, three-way entertainment!

Mimi and Gil, you better be careful! Current events – Jerry Falwell Jr resigns from Liberty University amid allegations of a sex scandal involving his wife and a pool boy. Hey Whigham, maybe next summer this would make an interesting story for the strip!

Perhaps Dad should share some of those frequent flyer miles with True so he doesn’t have to drive to Hawaii.
