Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 29, 2021

Yep, cue up several months of exciting Library Action! You know you were all waiting for this!

P1 A meeting of the Library Board attended by the Library Board, wow this sounds exciting.

P3 Hope this leads to some kind of “Debbie does Denver” situation

P1 A meeting of the Milford Library Board attended by…the Milford Library Board – Captain Obvious has spoken!

Meanwhile, the ants are assembling at the door being the only other group in town that is interested in attending the meeting, except maybe the roaches and mice

P2 Mopman moonlights at the library making sure the large conference tables shine like the high school floors

P3 The question is which key player kid on which team are you and Debbie parents of? Second in the Valley is already in jeopardy before the story arc starts in July or August, the drama never ends in Milford

@Mopman did you bring that flamethrower you were talking about the other day?

Burn baby burn

In all reality , if Milford legalizes pot would you and Debbie be willing to stay and why can’t Debbie work from home like everyone else ? Inquiring minds want to know !

What child is this, whose mother was just transferred to Denver – creating an opening on a Milford High sports team and forcing an unexpected unknown to suit up and star in the next storyline… And will VD be handling the microphone?

So many possibilities pivot around the word unfortunately.

P1, A meeting of The Boo Radley Little Free Library Board.

P2, Um, yeah WTF does this have to do with, well, anything?

P3, Okay, whoever you are, don’t let the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PREVIOUS STORY CANNOT BE OVER! HOW IN THE HELL WAS THAT CONSIDERED REVENGE TO OR EMBARASSMENT OF TESSI??? THAT’S IT, I’M BURNING EVERYTHING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P1- Riveting 1966 Batman series dialogue. Where is that Mad Hatter?

P2- Cameo by Mr. Hand. Convinced everyone at Milford High is on dope.

P3- Who is Debbie? Why would a great job be offered to anyone in Milford? Could Library Board Guy and Debbie be Con-Teezer’s parents?

P4: " I think I smell smoke. What could be happening? I just saw Mr. Luhm, I’ll ask him."

P4: “We just booked a flight”. This one may not be a real page turner, but do R&W and the Bored have the guts to take on Cancel Culture issues? That would speak volumes. Otherwise, shelve it. In March Madness Cinderella spirit, I’m picking Mimi as the next “Marian, Madame Librarian”. Readers?

In previous story arcs that involved them, did you ever wonder “What could possibly be less interesting than meetings of the Milford School Board?” Well, now you have your answer.

Just a wild guess. Man in panel 3 is Vic’s dad. Vic will miss his prom. Just a wild guess.

Library drama! So who’s takin’ this guy’s place? Will it be Chet? HvB? Wildcat? As usual, I’m not sure that this is gonna’ be an improvement from the last story

Wouldn’t it make more sense if it was The Goshen library board and they were moving with their flame throwing son to Milford???

“Any other orders of business”? Why not just say any other new business, you pompous, power mad fool

So either Mimi or Gil will lose a player in this deal. Fortunately CK is on the scene, is available and can go both ways, if you know what I mean.

Coaches Held Hostage: Kaz, Day 58.

Sports Held Hostage: Baseball, Softball, Day 1.

Did anyone else see Mopman on SNL over the weekend? He was great! Nice cameo Mopman!

Milford is finally getting rid of the town’s last two-parent family.

So much for the state championship hopes of the baseball and softball teams. Let’s move onto an early golf storyline.

The Lawn Jart team is a cinch for second in the Valley when the Curling travel team’s best player transfers to Milford

Tuesday: A meeting of the Milford Lion’s Club, attended by the Milford Lion’s Club.

Wednesday: A meet of the Milford Elk’s Club, attended by the Milford Elk’s Club.

Thursday: A meeting of the Milford Audubon Society, attended by the Milford Audubon Society.

Friday: A meeting of the Milford Mensa Club, attended by…..nobody.

I have nothing more to say. I’ll just let Mopped Up Thorp do the rest.

This is weird. I just woke up from my well deserved nap and I’ve got a voice mail from Corina’s mom. She wants to meet me at the Coffee Cantina, and says she wants my autograph?

Hey, wait a minute! Did anyone else notice, except for when Term Papers are due, there are more people on the Board than ever are in the Library at the same time, and which one of them is Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe?

Sorry I’m late. I was at a meeting of the Milford Library Board. Big brouhaha ensued with half the group wanting to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird” as an homage to Boo Radley — sort of like retiring a jersey number — and the rest of us strongly opposed. Then we devolved into a discussion about why exactly she went by the nickname of “Boo” and I said surely every person with the last name of “Radley” isn’t nicknamed “Boo”, there must be more to the story. Just then some dude with bifocals announced he and someone named “Debbie” are moving to Denver and sadly we never circled back.

Congratulations Snark Nation. This may be the third time we have eclipsed the century mark on the daily snark since Boo’s tragic demise. The Hoo’s are on me.

Snark nation has obviously been ablaze with comments on today’s strip

Oh yeah? Where are you moving to?
