Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 06, 2024

What the living fyck????!!

What is P3 supposed to be? He beat the peacock in a race and also in a push-up competition, with no other teammates involved?

So the peacock reference only makes sense to the snarkers; what will the “army” of new readers think? This makes absolutely no sense at all. A new low achieved today. I only read as context for the snarks.

Standing at the top of Independence Hall, he’s ready for Apollo Creed now. RIP Carl Weathers.

What the HRRAAK?

We’re being trolled

According to Google™ “Peacocks are also one of the fastest running birds which can run at a speed of 10 mph.” That’s a six minute mile. Not that hard for most athletes to beat a peacock in a sprint. And peacocks are lousy at Marathons.

There’s a lot going on today! It is revealed that Coach Kim needed Pedro’s help to kid (bird?) nap Jaybird the peacock, using his inside knowledge of (well, mostly Keri) Milford HS operations in order to abscond with its beloved mascot – OR – Whigs is just torqued that Henry took another day off and expresses his displeasure through the bizarre appearance of the peacock at a Valley Tech practice or workout, to throw shade and his tacit approval of the “Rebellious 21” dissent.

Pretty impressive considering his rehab consisted of video games, ghosting peanut, and 5 lb curls in his bedroom

Coach Kim forgot his whistle; no fweeting today.

P1- If you can catch a peacock, you’re greased lightning. No chickens were harmed in this panel.

P2- Training for basketball or Golden Gloves?

P3- I’m sure the rest of Valley Tech’s basketball team is thrilled with Pedro’s individual workouts.

We can all agree Hank is messed up.

??????

Help! I’ve been bird-napped! Hraaaak™!

So – he’s terrorizing a peacock?

There’s no way the peacock doesn’t just think some lunatic is chasing him, right?

He could catch that bird if he’d only place an order with Acme.

“…101…”…too bad that he started at “100”

MeeMaw’s hallucinations are becoming more vivid. Let’s bump that Haldol to 5mg.

Alex, I will take the Charles Atlas comic on the back of comic books for $1,000

Tomorrow: PETA comes to the bird’s rescue!

does pedro wear hair dye ? whys he sweating black

looks like coach kim is keeping his dishwashing hands warm

from the waist down who could be satisfying pedro irma keri or the peacock ?

Is this even a story anymore?

All this is good if the upcoming Milford- Valley Tech basketball games goes into overtime and the tiebreaker will be a 10K run and push-ups.

I support an immediate cease and desist of this storyline.

It’s not really a peacock… it’s that dead kid, Jaybird

Henry has just given up and turned to having AI write this trash now, right?

Remember when this comic used to feature Gil, Milford students, and the occasional Library Board? Yeah, me neither.

P-1: (Alliteration warning!) The Park Peacock Pick-Pocket is almost caught by a kid with pins in his leg.

P-2: Pedro spends almost two hours doing push-ups until he can remember what his Home Room Number is.

P-3: Proving he should be a made man, Pedro hides the drugs from the Police, by closing his fists. Genius!

What — has the Milford peacock defected to the enemy?

The bird represents the reincarnated spirit of previous writers who possessed talent, coming back to try to save us from this guano.

These are the worst for the Mopped Up Thorp treatment. But I gave it a shot. Not top ten worthy.

what is going on here?

He must be a hell of a motivational speaker to get him from horribly depressed to a champion in 3 panels….even better than Chris Farley.

Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
