Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for May 21, 2012

If Darby is the only teen mother in Milford, it must be the most chaste town in the United States. My daughters graduated high school in 2003 and 2005, and both had at least five classmates who were pregnant. And it was a small school.

Yes, it’s not a good thing to make a mistake in your teen years that you might be regretting for the rest of your life, like getting a big M tattoo on your arm, right Tasha’s Mom?

Darby may not be chaste, but she certainly is chased.

This comment intentionally left blank.

Another one of those knee-jerk sayings I’ve never understood. She glorifies teen motherhood just by being alive and taking care of her kid? Sooo, what would have been better? The se

And just where is Tasha’s dad in all this?

Greetings fellow Thorp bloggers. Is has recently become more aggravating trying to sign in to comment. Any others experiencing this? P2: A “good thing” would be Tasha’s mom using the razor.

So what she supposed to do? Hide under a rock? I think it is fantastic that now only is Darby still in school, she’s playing sports, which usually means decent grades, which means she’s looking ahead in her future…sheesh this comic.

Is that street sign post inthe way? Cement sidewalks, paved roads, Milford just lost my image of a hick town, now they have rented the old Leave it to Beaver hollywood set.

Why are the street signs in Klingon? The alien angle is this strip is subtle, but omnipresent.

I’m against teen motherhood. Mothers shouldn’t have teens.

Tasha’s mom has no room for criticism… especially with that hair style.

Maybe MILFord is actually in the UK. Note the direction of the car in P3 . . . its on the wrong side of the road.

And that street post must be right in the center of the road.

Ah, yes, the usual garbage that infests this culture about how “failure to explicitly and loudly condemn” = “condoning and promoting.”

Addendum to P2: “And especially because pregnancy is contagious!”
