Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 29, 2024

They’re so sweet together!

Interesting, the background cabinets and dishes are drawn in a realistic style yet the characters are drawn in a sketch-like style. It’s a conscious choice but what does it mean?

Some plastic surgery would be a good prize.

1) Gil likes to grope. Beth doesn’t mind.

2) Beth wins. An invitation to the pants party.

Would y’all like some more-a?

Right here on the flora?

One would think that a man as accomplished as Gil would have a dishwasher.

Sorry, I’ll never be able to afford a reward for Peanut and Jami tolerance.

Gil clearly didn’t purchase any prize to reward her with. I guess he’ll have to think of something else.

Less sex! More track games!

Why does Beth look like Zira from “Planet of the Apes” in panel three?

Beth goes from no lips on panel 1 to panel 3 where Mick Jagger says, “Beth. You have some big * lips.”

And the artist must have lost her red crayon for Beth’s big lips.

meanwhile gils brother and mother loading up the winnabago with whatever they can grab

“Keep being heterosexual. That wins my prize every time.”

If they continue to look that way, it’s a no win for everyone.

Gil taking a shower for the first time in 2 weeks would be a good prize.

P4 “Yas. Let’s get something straight between us, Beth.”

Gil: “… don’t listen to her Beth…I was always lazy…”

P 4 (Gil): “… yes!…. It’s Jami and Peanut…giggle…”

“sniff… sniff…”

I still think Henry writes this in Spanish and google translates to English. Now he’s using more BOLD text for emphasis but it’s usually not quite right. “I’m going to the store, BETH.” WTF?

Gilly gonna get some, if mom and bro would have the common decency to leave.

beth got a squeezebox she wears on her chest but gil sleeps on the couch because he needs his rest shes playing all night and the musics alright beth got a squeezebox but old gil needs his rest

OMG please Gil shave that crosshatch nightmare!

This may be the worst travesty – writing, color, and artwork – in comic strips, daily or otherwise, ever.And I’ve been reading comics for sixty years.Sorry but even the snark can’t keep me here any more.

Hey Beth! Ole’ lady Thorp never liked Mimi either and doesn’t even know she left Gil to shack up with a woman.

Gil’s right, there was no contest; Mimi left him, so Beth won by default.

I wonder how many broken ribs Beth has after P2? And speaking of wonder, if you’re wondering where today’s Mopped Up Thorp is, it’s finally here.

Beth: How can I compete with Emily?

Gil: Ever heard of scissoring?

Beth: [sniff sniff] And just where have those fingers been, anyway?

Gil: Hey, I had to get Emily onboard with inducting you into the Tribadic Tribe.
