Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 06, 2024

Cami looks 10 years younger in P3. Usually working with Gil has the opposite effect.

P1a: Marty, you remember what that was like…

I’m admiring the silhouette precise depictions in the center panel.

Body language in each one.

Spit. It. Out. Marty.

Soon Gerads also finds a new job at Milford

P3.5- Luke No Nads?

Forget the plot, Gil knows a five-syllable word? Would’ve been easier just to say “drunk like you.”

I’m surprised Gil is getting down into the mud with Gerads on this. Last time they met he tried to take the high road.

Tomorrow, No-Go-Nads gets called into a meeting with the school board. His boastful radio interview aside, they have heard enough about his public drunkenness at a school sponsored business trip over the summer and have suspended him indefinitely without pay while they internally investigate his actions to confirm that he has breached his contract. Next stop for No-Nads: Milford HS, where he not only becomes even more of a humiliating lap dog to Gil than Luke already is, but has to take orders from Coach Toe, who is easily ten years younger than him.

i wish they let pops racer ask a question

dam tays took off fast must be free buffert at the gentlemans club

marty moon now gonna wear down permhead to go to aa meeting

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.

Chorus:O ye’ll tak’ the high road, and I’ll tak’ the low road,And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye,But me and my true love will never meet again,On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.

‘Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen,On the steep, steep side o’ Ben Lomond,Where in soft purple hue, the highland hills we view,And the moon coming out in the gloaming.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring,And in sunshine the waters are sleeping.But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving.(Deciated to THE WORLD RENOWN SNARKER NATION…..keep up the great work)(Also thanks to lemonbaskt for the song idea)

Kick him when he’s down, eh? That’s our Gil!

P3; Did anyone laugh?

P 4 (Toe): “… funny how?..”

Luke was an excellent mentor lol

Gil tells Marty that Nonads was inebriated. Marty starts to ask, “wait, was he drunk?” I assume that’s what he was going to say. Yeah, Marty, that’s what inebriated means! He must be a Milford grad too.

And speaking of means, you have the means to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. All you need to do is go to the following link – moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/2024/09/06/health-check/

Finish Marty’s thought. ’Wait, was he…?" Wrong answers only.

Henry keeps reading coach’s books and he still doesn’t understand sports. So he just keeps adding coaches to his storylines instead.
