Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 08, 2024

Congrats Gil. Yehaw! Now its time to take a warm hot Beth!!!!! P.S. HRRRAAAKKKK!

Boy, she doesn’t mess around! Wait, I guess she does…

Beth I know you’re lonely, and I hope you’ll be all right. But I’m too old to be playing all night. Apologies to Peter Criss.

SCHWWWWWWWWIIIINNNGGGGG!!!

Gil deserves some happiness. But Will You Love Me Tomorrow?

P4: Beth: “Will you respect me in the morning?”

This used to be a family strip.

Beth, are you sure you want to get involved? Within a month Gil will have you so confused…

Not about the status of your relationship, but by what the heck is going on, who’s who, and which plot thread is which.

Oh, who am I kidding? Beth will probably disappear for 4 months, then the next time she shows up it’ll be between strips about the state lacrosse championship that Milford won 36-4 in overtime and a student who I’ve never seen before getting jailed for bullying. And she’ll be 8 months pregnant with her and Gil’s second child.

Gil’s not exactly dirtbaggin’. Beth is an attractive barkeep. Barajas did state last Summer things would get worse for our hero, but kidding aside, this is some dark doo doo for Coach GilPa.

Tomorrow’s strip will be a three panel Gil soliloquy about the importance of safe sex. As easy as Beth seems, I hope Gil takes his own advice.

Jami, cover your eyes.

He seems to be asking if he has a room – early onset kicking in. Take the plane keys away.

“…Nah…. The men’s room will do…”

There’s no hockey game today?

Cannot wait to find out that Beth has a pickle.

Brown chicken, brown cow!

Haha…the way characters in this strip are lately, Gil’s gonna get a Crying Game movie-like surprise when Beth drops trou

A new ploy to add to that amazingly high readership count?

Fast

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Gil Thorp may be a somewhat manic strip at times, but never say it doesn’t play a long narrative game. Remember the comely bartendress Gil was awkwardly flirting with nearly two years ago? Well, big news: Gil’s divorced now, and it’s time to make out! Gil even went the extra mile and rented a room in this … bar? Hotel? It’s a hotel bar, I guess? The important thing is that he doesn’t want to go back to a girl’s house, because he might catch cooties.

For once I’m happy with the way things worked out!

Not Sherlock eligible, today: "Goin to the Chapel cause we gotta get married. Goin to the Chapel cause we gotta get married. Gee, he really loved me and we gotta get married. Goin to the Chapel, I don’t mean Dave.

I want to see Beth become part of Gil’s life and get him to do what she sez and alienate peanut

hrack hrack bay bay there kissing in milford its in the usa

best thing would be if marty moon was in the room to do the play by play since no games are going on

so beth can shut down the bar whenever shes feeling frisky ? employee of the month for sure

Maybe the Misdirection is Beth is actually Bart.

Isn’t she still at work?

Looks like Gil’s gonna be taking the skin boat to tuna town.

Poor Gil, she only gave him a 3 out of 8.

Go Gil

P1 – Gil is giving me the Count Thorpula vibe in that drawing.

P2 – Gil is squeezing her head so hard his fingers are turning purple.

P3 – Who is Gil’s stand-in here? That ain’t his face. Dick Van Dyké maybe?

And speaking of here, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.Com/2024/03/08/sharing-is-caring/

And so the coach who always stood for family values is now having one-night stands. Way to go Henry, you’ve completely trashed the character and what he’s stood for.

Gil wants to go to his room because his loofa is soaking.

Tomorrow, as soon as things start to heat up, Gil goes limp and starts sobbing about “missing Mimi so much”

We shall seet but my guess is there will be no real storyline, just Gil now has a girlfriend and that’s that, we can assume whatever we want. It’s not like Mary Worth or Luann Degroot are lurking around to go blabbing. But, if Marty Moon would broadcast the action, well, don’t touch that dial.

Tomorrow Hockey

I’ve never laughed so much as from todays comments. Well done everybody. A song Dedication all of you. HHRRAAKK!!!!!! Cue the song …… We Are the Champions by Queen
