Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 08, 2023

Oh, COME ON!

So lemme get this straight, a guy who couldn’t handle being a high school coach is going to be a detention center coach. Riiiight…

While i’m mildly disapointed Luke isn’t going full supervillian or , failing that , hider in the house, on Gil YET, the two of them having a summer prison baseball faceoff is just Chef’s kiss. I also like Gil’s entirely lame dig at first, as well as the fact that Gil’s slowly sunk from taking the high ground to gleefully rubbing in that his arch enemy got fired. We needed more petty gil thorpe.

This is what worker shortages look like in 2023 USA. Next Up: Cell Block Super Bowl. Will the two be coaching the same team - or against each other?

Is it just me, or is the hardest part to believe is that ToBe didn’t identify as a female to go to the girls’ juvie? Could’ve made for an interesting Milford After Dark with return of Corrina Korenna as the girls’ guard.

Maybe Luke cut a deal with the same Judge Gil talked to.

P 4 (Gil): “… see you in the yard… oh wait… no I won’t… Hahahaaaa…”

After barely keeping touch with reality throughout HB’s first year (and sometimes failing), now it’s fantasyland. There is SO MUCH WRONG with all of this. So we may as well have Luke in a Spandex suit tomorrow, displaying his evil superpowers.

P 3 (Gil): “…. No surprise…. I’ve heard that they can’t find anyone to coach here since it only pays $8 an hour… good thing your wife makes enough to support you and your family…”

What is that Guy’s Problem with Coach Thorpe???

And here I thought the “friend” would be Cody Exner, who disappeared in alternative school many years ago.

Despite life changing electrolysis, Lukey continues to struggle with Cro-Magnon tendencies

P3- Gil is full of himself with that goofy a$$ Funky Winkerbein expression. Whose going to feed the feral kid population at MCC this Summer and “teach” youth golf, Kemper Peake?

Somewhere, there’s a shiv with his name on it.

P4- Rodney Carrington’s “Prison B@tch” crackles over the Muzak system of MYD.

“See you in the yard. I roll with, a butterknife shank, punk.”

Both Gil and Luke must have sweated through their shirts and changed into different colored dry ones. Gil’s was red and Luke’s was gold in yesterday’s strip.

Glad to hear that the people who wanted more of Luke appear to be getting their way.

Looks and sounds like a couple of guys busting each others b@lls today.

Does spellcheck automatically add an E to Thorp?

I’m guessing basketball. Don’t see them giving Juvie kids bats or hockey sticks. And if it is football it would have to be flag which can be pretty rough. Maybe Cornhole in the yard.

Will Luke be able to wear his wrestling singlet to his new job ?

P 4 (Rod and Tobe): “… who you callin’ delinquents, b****?…” as they attack Luke with folding chairs

YEAR TWO: In a bold move, financed by business interests in Goshen, a revolutionary group known as The Snarkers has hijacked the strip for a year. From their tone they are apparently a dangerous, mostly geezer group and have advocated arson, driving to Hawaii, psychedelic peacock feathers, and violent use of butterknives. Be on the lookout for that guy with a flamethrowing mop. They promise more jump shots, Moon rants, angst and Gil’s great hair. Don Vito says, “You can bet on it.”

P1- Luke must be wearing his MYD shirt and employee badge like Kaz. How else would Gil know that he found a new job?

P2- The judge was kind enough to let Luke know what Gil does in his free time.

P3- Milford is in big trouble if they have enough juvenile delinquents for teams.

Oh man, not BHHL. His shedding is ruining my awesome shine on that table. Kind of a rude move on Kaz’s part, not even mentioning that Gil’s arch enemy was now working with him. And speaking of working with him, I’m a little annoyed that I have to keep working with Luke in Mopped Up Thorp. Adding that hair shedding is a pain in the butt.

Maybe you could take a shortcut and just do something like pigpen’s dust cloud in peanuts

Hey!!!!!!!! I got it!!!!!!! The judge read the story “The Most Dangerous Game” and sentenced Tobe and Rodney to a challenge they can’t refuse. They will be running their butts off the next 3 days trying to elude Luke’s elephant gun on MYD’s grounds. If they’re alive by that time, the school will remove the Vapegate incident from their record. Coach Kim will be the special referee. Gil will have to sit in the lobby during this time. I hope he brought plenty of sloppy joes or whatever was in his Jiffy Pop bag.

Episode 23 of Milford After Dark is online: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/2023/07/09/milford-after-dark-episode-23/

Its going to be amazing when Tobe and Rod take on the twosome of Kwon and Pedro in the annual Milford Juvie Invitational, after Luke plants some coke in their shared bedroom.

So who was the guy in the yellow shirt yesterday?
