Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 27, 2024

Marty’s face has apparently been attacked by a cat.

Conjugal visit?

I’m blanking here… Peaches?

P3 – Marty looks younger than before in spite of his “troubles.”

“Jesus, Marty, and Joseph!”

How did his neighbor know?

If my neighbor ever gets thrown in jail and needs to be bailed out, I know the first thing I’ll do is to look up the phone number of a girlfriend that broke up with him a decade ago and moved out of state and let her know. And speaking of letting people know, I’m letting you people know that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

Peaches McClure. One of the choices I mentioned bailing Marty out. She left Moon about 15 years ago and he gave sinister a new meaning. Marty was a prickly person. After Peaches dumped him, he became a full blown prick.

Peaches? This situation is getting sappy real fast.

Good thing Jesus used his one call to contact Peaches. She advertises heavily in Milford’s Little Havana community.

The neighbor called the number of the only person he had seen voluntarily enter Marty’s house in the last 2 decades.

P 3 (Moon): “. … I announced the score backwards too much so they finally locked me up to keep me off the game broadcasts…”

Someone pour this man a drink!

Moving to the country, gonna eat me a lotta Peaches

reporting the portly writer to aarp and aspa he doesnt care about meemaw or martys dog

P 1.5 (Peachy): “…how can you sit so easily after what happened to you in the jailhouse showers?…”

Marty gets sentenced to 20 years hard labor on the chain gang but will win a hard boiled egg eating contest.

P3- "What happened to me? Well, they got a new writer that turned me into an alcoholic which was okay. But then he made me go to AA and that’s when the shlt hit the fan. I started seeing entire teams suddenly wearing different color uniforms during the same game. I started talking nonsense as if I new absolutely nothing about any of the sports that I was covering. I was making stuff up, like rainbow kicks and touchdowns that didn’t count. One time I even said I was at a track game. And for the last three months, when I look in a mirror, I’m not even sure if that’s me. So I tried to have a few drinks to see if everything would go back to normal like in June of 2022.

(Peaches): "JaJaJaJaJa! That’s a good one, Marty. < But everyone will be talking Korean before that happens. >
