Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 08, 2021

So hang on, dude. You claim to have been doing your work online, and at the same time you were keeping a steady gaze on the reference librarian — in a DIFFERENT ROOM — for hours? Aha. Of course you were.

Better signage? What’s wrong with Milford’s 1950 model “No Talking” sign? Turning to Jocelyn Brown, is she Big Ken Brown’s Little Sister? And in P3, any comments about Gil’s oversized left arm? The phone lines are open.

P1 Brito triggered by a limited experience that creates a stereotypical perception, glad that kind of behavior doesn’t happen in the real world

P2 I swear, I’m going to join the library board and lay waste to this abomination, including replacing that $50K a year reference librarian with a $10 M robot

P3 Mimi deftly block’s Gil’s attempt to greet the twins and changes the subject when he asks where Pedro the pool boy has been since the playdown loss

P1, Yeah, Gomez if you had those rows of computers at your house while your router was down you’d still have ended up at the library.

P2, Or you could have left your toothbrush in the bathroom.

P3, Gil has a little something hard going on himself, Mimi.

In all reality , You know Gil, I wish you had arms like Stretch Armstrong to go with your Russian hands and Roman fingers .In all reality , so do I Mimi .

“Able Burrito” sounds like something you’d find next to the frozen pizza.

Gil out at 2nd Base…

P3 GilPa copping a feel with his elastic left arm? He is about to have a “hard” conversation with Mimi!

Odds are Abel suffers for the gum disease known as GIN-GI-VITIS. Maybe he uses Topal. The smokers tooth polish.

P 4 (Gil’s voice): “….what? …I wasn’t listening…”

P 2: I wonder if Mrs. Burrito is actually one of us snarkers that invaded the strip

Shouldn’t the cable guy have been there by now?? I think Mrs. Brito is turning off the router so the cable repair/pool boy has to provide daily service.

P-3: said Mimi as she holds Gil’s upper wrist.

Cue today’s theme song: “Marianne, madam Librarian”.

Andy Carnegie’s got the cost of this covered, no worries.

This arc seems to be nothing more than a 1950s Soap. Maybe call it, Days of Tedium. Have to change the title tho as the strip as almost nothing to do with a coach and HS kids. It sure wasn’t Thorp who got the QB situation straightened out, that was CK. Thorp only makes a brief appearance now and then. I guess his job is to wander the halls with a cofefe cup in hand

Cliff Hanger Alert from MiMi

P3- She let me borrow this prosthetic arm and I’m not giving it back.

Jocelynn is Jackie Brown’s sista.

DEFUND THE LIBRARY!

I think Gil, or whoever that is in P3, couldn’t possibly look less interested if he tried. He’s in full Dude mode responding to the Malibu sheriff, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

Well, MImi’s appearance stops the countdown for Coaches Held Hostage. All present and accounted for in the last two weeks. Nothing for me to do for a while. Maybe I’ll start my own pool cleaning service.

Just think of all the money he is going to save Milford once he gets on the board. The salary of the reference desk lady, maybe raise $1000 by selling the unused library pcs. The townsfolk can look forward to seeing their tax bill drop by $0.02 next year.

Mimi sure is awesome at playing defense. The two armed denial, good choice.

And speaking of good choices, it’s always a good choice to read Mopped Up Thorp – https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
