Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 13, 2024

The Golden Girls?

I bet Gil’s favorite is Blanche because she is such a s!ut.

This is either a school project or the artist had dirt on someone. Because no way can someone be willing to pay for this.

50% off cars if Goshen wins. He’ll eat his shoe if Goshen loses. A challenge like that. Why would Gil come back. Stay home drink coffee and bourbon. Maybe some Train Wreck Beer. Eat a bowl full of Beth. Send the kids back overseas. Life is great.

Stadium mustard please

Blanche was something before electricity. She knew how to make $14 the hard way.

I miss the previous artwork. The current artwork is just too rough looking for my taste.

Dear Andrews McMeel: What were you thinking?

Somebody submitted THIS as samples and you hired them as an artist?

The doodles in my high school notebook are better art.

Getting punched in the stomach did a number on his looks as well as his attitude. (1/15/2024)

50% off cars? He doesn’t know any more about business than he does about sports.

Gil, it’s the 21st century. We have streaming now. Golden Girls is always on. And you want to be Blanche, but you’ll always be Dorothy.

is coach gerads playing simon sez with someone in panal two ?

if they ever decide to remake lost in space again the car dealer would make a good villian with that look

how far you gonna spread your legs gil keanu rogers ? cami prefers clam

gil thinks why should i coach again why settle for the moon when you already have the stars

This looks and reads like an extreme fever dream, except it makes less sense

Gil calls in to moon show: “… yeah Marty… I heard about his challenge, but sorry, I can’t take anyone who gets beat up by his own players serious…”

Every time I think this strip has hit the bottom of the barrel, it busts through and finds another barrel.

Barajas replied to my post from yesterday and said that we don’t see the comments from all the people who enjoy the strip because they’re too intimidated to post here. Of course, it could also be that they’re too busy having tea with the Easter Bunny, Bigfoot, and Santa Clause.

I can’t recall that episode with the used car salesman in it.

How did Gil’s PJ’s get past the censor in P-1 when we can’t even say S%#t?

P3: Hulk Hogan makes a cameo as Foxy.

Panel 4: “I’m melting!!!”“This brought to you by Wicked!”

This is no longer readable / watchable, I’m sorry to say. Taking it off my list.

Gil is thinking, “This is awesome! I do my normal non-coaching and we lose. I then go to Fox Used Cars, buy 5 $15,000 cars for $7500 each, then sell them for $10,000 each. This will pay better than my usual skimming of the athletic budget.” And speaking of skimming, you don’t want to skim through today’s Mopped Up Thorp. You’ll want to read it slowly and savor the whole thing.

#Day856ofGilFansHeldHostagebyBadWriting

For hell’s sake, the artwork is just getting offensive, people are getting depicted as some sort of ape-man creature! Several characters look like they have gorilla ancestry. The story isn’t much better. Henry, Rachel, I get it, you don’t like things created by dead, old white guys, about old white guys. Why don’t you devote yourself to something you do like?

This artist needs to be replaced.

I’ll buy a new car for every member of the syndicate AND eat their shoes if they replace this pathetic writer/artist “team”.

I’ve been consistent about enjoying the writing since the handover and don’t feel intimidated saying so (ducks).

I usually don’t complain. Snarking isn’t complaining. This is complaining: The new art is getting worse. Gil yesterday (second appearance), and Gerards today, don’t look anything like themselves, even accounting for the new lighter style. And what’s in the background in P3 today? A van with half-finished graffiti?

Golden Girls and day drinking…beats working, I guess. All that Gil needs to do now is move into his parents basement.

I’m out.

Who pays the difference?

this has become the comix equivalent of plan 9 from outer space or robot monster.

SOMEBODY please explain the stupid background in P3.
