Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 20, 2021

Yes, we are all amazed at (bored about) this library board plot!

Competing Campaign Posters — “Brito Will Balance the Books” vs. “Zane Clark for Library Board. Check Him Out.” .

P3 Marjie could be one of the wisest characters in the history of GilPa, there thousands of his followers who are thinking the same thing right now!!!

Not sure about what is going on with her glasses!!!

P2.5 the sloppy joes?

P1 first glance it looks like Marji is packed and ready to make her escape from GT but is caught by the boss and taking her to be interrogated in the scary coffee pot room

P2 another day another inane GT panel, amazing

P3 agree, stupid dialogue makes me hungry, Mo’s got a fresh batch of sloppy joes on the stove over at the diner, who’s in?

Ya know Marjie in all reality , do you think anyone gives a flying F about the library and it’s election ? In all reality Chief , No ! Dam you Marje, don’t call me Chief !

“talking about the library board” …ain’t that the truth

So even the “creative” minds behind this strip realize how inane this plot is.

Sorry, R&W, but lampshading just how dull this premise is doesn’t make it any less so.

Wasn’t this a bit on Letterman?? Small Town News!!

P 4: “….and why are you dressed like a dental hygienist?…”

P1- Unlike the story, the coffeepot percolated.

P2 & P3- Do Mia & Marji have chocolate milk stains around the mouth or is it well trimmed she-scaping?

P1, Okay. . . So?

P2, Um, not really, Marjie.

P3, That’s what we’ve been saying since this ridiculous story started, Marjie.

P 3: “…no….that Rubin thinks this crap makes good copy….”

P1: Is that the newspaper office or the nurse’s lounge?

P3- No. That I just saved 15% with Geico.

They definitely are reading our comments, as now they’re using our complaints for their dialog. And speaking of complaints, if you’ve been complaining that Mopped Up Thorp is not online, well, quit yer beefin’, cause here it is.
