Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 22, 2021

In P2, looks like Brito is wasting that empty chair at the end of the table. But little wasted table surface — and where are the serving dishes? Did everyone serve themselves buffet style at the stove? Finally, what kind of table setting pairs a knife and glass on the left (Mrs. B) with a napkin and fork on the right (Zane). Is he using his knife to eat caveman style? Well played Bam Bam. As for Pebbles, no visible plate OR utensils. The Mimi diet?

And what the hell is on the end of SlimeDog McGruff’s fork? That ain’t no burrito. And when will he be eating crow? Not soon enough. Just in time for golf season I expect.

Mr. Gruff Dad has too much time on his hands!!! Let’s get him on that Library Board so we can see what the deuce they are doing with those tax payers’ $$$’s. BTW the internet has sucked the wind out of most Libraries and Librarians.

White gruel, powdered milk and cotton balls for dinner, mmm mmmmm, do those Brito’s know how to entertain or what?

Hey reda$$, take a cue from us snarkers (no names please), if you have that much rage and anger about unused PC’s and idle librarians, just go burn the library down, that’ll fix ‘em

Only in “Gil Thorp” could a town library become the central conflict.

So, uh, if the fire department isn’t fighting a fire at a particular moment does that mean the town is wasting money on the salaries of the crew and the maintenance of their vehicles at that particular moment? The town should only hire a police officer while a crime is being committed? If Mr. Brito’s mouth isn’t filled with food it’s being wasted and his lips should be sewn shut… I’m in favor of that.

What it’s the matter with that man? If he’s this short sighted, no wonder he’s looking for a job.

This dad is a bit of a complainer … let’s call him whiner – hope he doesn’t come out to someone where you substitute the “h” with an “e”

In all reality , Honest Abe why don’t you shut your pie hole , your ruining this nice whatever it is dinner Mrs Burrito fixed for us. Why thank you Zanie dear. You’re welcome Mrs B.

P1, When we first met Mrs. Brito she looked a bit like maybe Mimi’s older sister then quickly evolved into Grandmama from The Addams Family. Now she’s back to looking younger and in a real surprise for this strip, her hair color has changed to red.

P2, And since you’re here, too Mr. Brito, I’d say the answer is no.

P3, If I didn’t know better I’d think that Gomez has an unhealthy obsession with the library.

What’s up with this guy and his vendetta against the library?

P 1: “…be nice to him, Mr. Douche dad…”

And, as most snarkers have predicted, Frito Bandito is gonna’ spend the entire dinner conversation punkin’ out the library

P1- Mrs. Brito has a fine looking stache that Patches O’Houlihan would be proud of.

It’s no wonder Zane is having trouble controlling his pitching, since the poor guy can’t even remember how to hold a fork. And how come Katy gets to eat the whole bowl of roses by herself? Do her parents have an allergy, or do they just think it’s too much trouble to spit out the thorns?

I’d say Hershel Bernardi is doing a fine job playing the part of Mr. B.

Will Mr. B. become a plumber specializing in updating bathrooms when they move? Will we refer to his “John Denvers”?

I’ve never considered a bowl of roses for a salad. A little expensive, but may go well with the right oil and vinegar combination.

Zane and his girlfriend go to the same hair stylist

Separate thought balloons, P 2: “….I didn’t go to the bucket so I could have dinner here instead?….wtf was I thinking?…”

“Hey, that’s the way to get kids to use the library again—give away $10 bills as bookmarks! I am going to have to take that open seat on the board!”

By the end of this feast Abe will be drunk, crying, and screaming “I CAN’T READ!”

Able Burrito goes his own way. It isn’t every guy who eats his potato chips with a fork.

I actually laughed out loud at today’s strip….I usually need to read the comments for that. This guy just steams about the library and those computers, day and night. He thinks Zane is the only one who goes there? What about himself? Like the old Stooges bit, Niagara Falls.

Vito from Goshen still taking action on Abe going blowtop. Somebody please get this man an iPad.

Well the roses tried to get Mr. Burrito to be pleasant, but it didn’t work. He is continuing his insane rant about the library’s unused computers and its highly paid unnecessary reference desk worker. He should just eat his ranch covered chicken nugget in silence.
