Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 16, 2023

While they’re in Korea, will they visit the sweatshop where the Thorp kids used to work?

Okay I genuinely didn’t think they were going all the way to korea. How happy I am that I was wrong.

P 4 ( Kim): “… <this the clown that I told you about earlier… he is the poster boy for ‘ ugly American>…”

Ah, my favorite kind of vacation… Traveling half way around the world to see my family for the first time in many moons.

And taking my boss with me.

How do you say “Howdy” in Korean ?

P4 (Coach Kim’s mother in Korean) “This is the one you call the big, hairy a$$hole, son?”

Kim’s Mom: “…< That’s your boss?… I thought everyone from America looks like Chris Farley>…”

That Luke. What a mental giant. Think of all the time he and Coach Kim saved flying instead of driving.

Incheon Landing — 2023 style. Will it work out as well as in 1950?

I hope they brought suitcases full of cash.

P4: Mom: Is he from Texas? Do they wear cowboy hats and say “Howdy” in Milford?

So now he’s going to Korea to recruit presumably a baseball player to beat Gil?!? This is getting a bit out there.

P1 Big Hairy Lukey practices his spiel on Coach Kim as he gets ready to make his first Milford Travel and Tourism Bureau presentation to the “Korean Nightmare” as the organization’s newest representative.

P2 “Do Koreans despise Gil Thorp as much as I do, Coach Kim?”

P3 (Coach Kim’s mother in Korean) “Did you bring me my Cheez Whiz, boy?”

By tomorrow, Luke’s mom will be ready to send Luke on a tourist excursion into NK and tip off the bus driver that there’s an “ American spy” on board

P3- Apparently, Luke understands Korean.

Wonder if Luke and Frannie have a pool and if Frannie has help with her swimming strokes while Sheriff is away?

I think I figured this out. HB is so used to writing superhero comics that he no longer has any clue what happens in reality with high school and high school sports.

Vito from Goshen was sitting by the pool, and he said to Rocco, “You know, this kind of reminds me of when Dick Tracey went to the moon. That’s when he lost me.” Rocco answered, “No, Don Vito, I beg of you, don’t give up hope!”

The Nightmare comes to Milford, doesn’t play ball, but starts a K-Pop group and steals Keri from Pedro, causing a mass rubberband-gun shooting that sends Keri over the edge, and she votes Republican.
