Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 14, 2024

Gerads’ Constable Odo Syndrome (shape-shifter condition) is in full force again. It’s even affecting his hair. And his ear in p1.

Hang in there, Marty. You didn’t pick the wrong day to stop drinking.

Stay strong, Marty!

This is some of the worst storytelling and artwork I have ever seen in a comic strip and I’ve been reading comics for 60+ years. There is no dearth of good comic writers and artists… how do these people get away with this?

What did I miss? Were the artists changed? The artwork has gotten really bad.

Foxy desperately calls his attorney.

Great thing about celebrating failure. One can drink either way

Isn’t Marty a recovering alcoholic?

Also, the coach assuming his team members’ gender is going to get the woke crowd up in arms.

Taking the whole team to Barney’s Pub? Is that in the school budget?

P1 & P3- Richard Pryor’s monkey would like a go at Coach Perm’s ear.

Is that supposed to be Marty in both panels 1 and 3? Because they look like two different characters. I guess it could be the purple haze, though.

Later at The Barney’s Pub..,,,Perm over serves himself and makes a pass at Beth. Not Beth’s first adverse moment, she sweetly smiles at the lush a with a swift kick, down goes Nads.

P4 “Hurry up Marty, my friend Del Bader has the car warmed up and ready to go. Talley-ho!”

“If it ain’t broke, fix it until it is”. – - H. Barajas, 2022

looks like tays and luke down at the club since the third quarter making it rain

i know henry doesnt like to finish stories but please say who the mystery barber is that perm and moon have different style hair everytime you see them

Could be my eyes, but is there actually a CURVE to Coach’s chin in Panel 3? Not the usual sharp angle, straight line pen-scratching that the sketch-person (can’t use “artist” here) usually uses to define the pre-Kindergarten shapes called “people”. Naw, must be my eyes.

I didn’t think it was possible, but the artwork is worse than ever.

P1- Luke interviews Coach Perm?

P2- The Milford boys also gave it their all….and so did ToBe.

P3- Marty interviews Kaz?

Altercation at Barney’s with Gil Beth and nads comin

Nads gets in bar fight, gets fired, and by next week, is just another minion on Gil’s staff.

And Moon sponsors him for AA.

Martin offers to drive NoNads home then dumps him off in a ditch by the highway.

Deposited in MCC’s road hole bunker.
