Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 25, 2022

Kiddo’s dad can’t allow himself to be photographed for fear it will blow his cover as a secret Yelp reviewer.

As much fun to make as it is to eat…Jiffy Pop.

Kind of ironic that Dad doesn’t want to be seen with him.

Gregg Hamm’s Dadd is in the Witness Protection Program? Has the family been avoiding letting Gregg have eye surgery for fear of attracting notice?

Are Gregg’s parents divorced?

P3 Talk to the handdd, Curtisss

P2 The ants are impressed too and form lines to get Gregggg’s autograph while holding on to slim hopes that a food orgy will break out like that time at the game with Valley Modified

Bring my seeing eye dog Ranger also Dad ,in all reality he’s part of the family .

P3- Let me get Gregg’s Mom? Or let me grab my wife Violet, Rose, Cheri, Blossom, Tulip or whatever her is.

Oooh, a plot twist! Can there be a twist when there’s no apparent plot?

Guiding Light, As The World Turns, Days Of Our Lives, General Hospital…take your pick.

I’m respecting the fact that Dad is a Flat Earther and feels that taking a picture of him will rob him of his soul. This strip snatched my soul when I started seeing peacocks.

Captain Obvious here. a) Just like Greggggg can’t see the signals, we can’t see Mom. b) 10-1 Mom’s blind and Gregg’s problems are hereditary. (She’s also a great bowler.)

Oh Hi Mrs Thorp , in all reality , this is kinda ackward, son but in all reality , you can call Mrs Thorp ,MOM !

Are Scooter and Wilson the only ones who know Gregg can’t see? How oblivious could his parents be?

Greggs dad is mobbed up and just can’t have his photo out there

P 1.5: “…thanks coach Kaz…”

So much for that quality start. P3: Bono knows what this guy’s going through “I will see the flash (not Barry Allen) for the rest of the day”. Glaucoma it is.

His Dad is Saul Goodman.

P 2: “…thanks Mom…”

Dad and son at least have same hair color sometimes.Mustache??

Ponder this. A legally blind kid is an All-Star high school pitcher who hides his affliction from the world. His father, possibly unemployed or in the witness protection program, spends far too much time online and a young rocket science intuits the pitch call and beams it to his buddy using some sophisticated telepathic system. Meanwhile, a young tennis star sits patiently courtside for her Prince to come while changing in and out of multiple outfits. There’s the signpost up ahead, next stop The Thorp Zone!

P1- Gil is lying!! Look at his nose.

I just realized why Gregggg looks so confused in P1. It’s because that’s not Gregggg, based on how he looked a few days ago. Gillll rarely remember who’s who, so it’s not surprising he forgot who his pitcher is.

And speaking of forgetting, don’t forget to read today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
