Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 03, 2023

It brings back bad memories of all the explosions in that Asian fireworks factory that they used to work in.

They must be in Canada as tomorrow is our Independence Day.

Well this is 4th of July EVE…

P 1: Luke and Jami really ARE robots

P 3: that same dialogue could be in P 2 as well.

Mimi told GilPa and the kids go ahead and enjoy the fireworks. She had a date, errr some cabana cleaning to tend to.

Keri seems remarkably calm at fireworks show for an active shooter drill PTSD sufferer. Maybe Pedro is her Thunder Blanket. Or maybe it’s the bliss of the aftereffects of a 69 New Haven or something. Or possibly the continuous random ramblings of a rudderless ship – the S.S. Barajas.

Look Daddy, that’s one I assembled when I was “working overseas”

Oh wow, how generous. After all this time being left out I finally get ONE panel and ONE word to say.

I hope they catch the mad slasher. He’s upset Milford is still using the Gregorian calendar and celebrating everything on the wrong dates.

P4: ToBe looks out his jail cell window at Jami and Pedro, wondering what could have been…

Today’s strip is brought to you by Rice Krispies on steroids.

So it is now the 4th of July. So many unanswered questions:1. Did the girls team when the tournament 2. Did MeeMawpass3. Has Gil’s wife continued her bisexual romp4. Is Gil still in the dark 5. Will Tobi have to got to reform school. Remember a player had Togo there because of a butter knife 6. Has Luke been fired7. What happened to the Korean nightmare who gives up 5 runs in a high school game in 5 innings8. Who will Be Gil’s assistant bin Football. Odds it has to be Cami 9. Will Marty fall off the wagon10. Will Mopman file a sexual harassment suit against Dr Pearl?

Stay tuned to the next adventure of LOST IN Space

P-1: Gil! What did you just do?!

P-2: Hoa maany oa theeese Hooos ha we drunk, sweetie?

P-3: …and we all notice what part of Keri knows!

P 4 (Pedro): “….I love you even more than my dad loves himself…”

Incoming! Milford is under attack from Valley Tech. Luke’s last ditch effort to get revenge on Gil. And speaking of effort, it doesn’t take much effort to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

This is fireworks? Looks more like anti-aircraft artillery in a WWII movie.

Did a previous firework detonate directly over Gil and his son? They seem to be bleeding..

“Wow, Dad!!!!!! Great fireworks show. Well, good night.”

“Good night, Son. We’ll have a good time tomorrow at the putting greens.”

“Oh boy, Dad!!!!!! Can’t wait.”

As Jami drifts off to Gil-Land, he hears something.

“Dad? Is that you? I got the clubs ready tomorrow if that’s you’re concerned about.”

“BOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!”

July 4th bold fireworks prediction:

P1 Pedro the pool service technician skims Frannie’s pool after she has thrown Lukey out of the house after serving him the papers.

P2 Mimi and Erika. SCHWWIIINGGG! ‘Nuff said.

P3 Pedro gives Keri PTSD therapy, setting off their own fireworks.

Who? What? Huh?

P 3.5 (Keri) More than your sideburns?
