Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 12, 2021

This got weird fast

Take Your Pick — “Just Like Romeo and Juliet” or “She forgot about the library like she told her old man now.” Readers?

Can anyone point me to the strip where he actually asked her to do that? Eeesh, I spent WAY too many years with one of those “If you don’t agree with me on every issue in every particular, you’ve betrayed me” people. Zane, if you haven’t already kicked her to the curb, just do it.

Well, no. You sided with your dad. Who is nigh unto evil. Zane didn’t ask you to get involved at all. He needs to get shed of that girl and meet one who has a backbone and a conscience.

Zane. You can do better. Tessi the Tease needs a date to prom or whatever these kids do for a social celebration. Funny how Vic Doucette disappeared after his storyline run its course.

In all reality , After all this is over can we pick up where we left off. DAMN straight Zanie you smooth talking SOB , meet by the Microfilm Machine.

P 2.5 (Zanes voice): “… stop stalking me, psycho…”

Does she agree with her dad?

P 4: “… and here’s an idea…. I never asked you to side against your dumb-a$$ dad, so go ahead and get lost…”

Get those kind of ideas out of your head right now young man!!

P1, Now we know why Insane Zane’s hair is such a mess as he scrapes his head on the ceiling.

P2, Um, everybody has taken sides against your dad, Katy!

P3, And (Unst)Abel has none!

Zane has been exploring the 130 section of the Dewey decimal system, as well as the librarian.

Run Zane, run, Katy is about a half bubble off plumb. I mean, asking MiMi if she and Gil are battling over who should be on the library board.(then again, maybe she thinks that her daddy will somehow be appointed President in Aug) There is something very seriously wrong with Milford if Katy thinks her acting out is normal, who does she think she is Ivanka?

I guess that Milford HS does not teach either Govt or Civics. So Katy is thinking the entire town is divided about who should be on the Library Board. Brother against brother, husbands against wives.

Riot in the room as the sides square off, meanwhile, the library board members just wish the guy who moved to Denver would come back.

The whole town has shown up, and Katy was right. Everyone has chosen a side. “LESS FILLING!” “TASTES GREAT!” Although I’m not sure why pie can’t be both.

And speaking of taking sides, everyone should be on the side of truth, justice, and the Mopped Up Thorp way!

Zane’s idea is to make Mr. Brito pay up the $50,000 he owes in overdue fees from 30 years ago when he failed to return “Tropic Of Cancer”. Budget problem solved.

In the history of teen romance, nobody has ever sided with DAD! Lose this this whacko, Zane.

Last year, the baseball season storyline ended with the July 11 strip. If we go that long this year, that means we have about a month to tie all of this up. Doesn’t seem like a month’s worth of “action” is left.

Does he think he’s Boris Johnson with that hair?

Zane has a lot to learn about politics. Ideas, not sides, hahaha
