Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 23, 2012

An actual strip with a normal date and nosy friend who wants the details. I liked it.

Is that Amanda or Gidget in the third panel?

The Teddy Bear in P3 has seen a lot

Good observation, back in the Berril era of the strip, there was a charachter named Ted Bear and he used a similar bear as a prop to get the crowd geeked… Kind of a forerunner of the infamous “M” tat we recently had to endure. Could be clue as to the whereabouts of the missing Thorp kids.

Of course she kissed him, what would you expect from a Kiser?

Bobby looks pretty creepy in P2 but Darby seems willing to be fed.

Astute comment by chiphilton yesterday about today’s youth going out socially in groups and not dating. The kids do not want to deal with potential rejection. Hats off to BB Stuff for growing a pair and showing a girl a good time. Nowww…Let’s play some ball!

The HAND in P2

Why is he feeding her with a pair of tweezers?

Tomorrow – Dinny’s call to Bobby – Did you have a good time or a “great” time?

Ricozzi’s has great roast mudlark.

Gilfan79…..nice, a nuanced Tab Hunter reference!

Where’s Moon been, Ricozzi’s looks like his kind of place!

Tell me more, tell me moreDid you get very far?Oh, those summer nights!

Rupert has been kidnapped!

Tab Hunter! I’m still laughing. Fabian will be jealous.

I bet those meatballs were unequivocally enjoyable.

Well now we know why she didn’t have a plate in front of her yesterday. But what exactly is he feeding her? It’s not round, so it’s not a meatball unless he first took a bite out of it.

That looks like an old Datsun parked out in front of the restaurant. Thank goodness MILFord does not cave in and allow any chain restaurants in their city. Otherwise, these kids would be at Olive Garden filling up on salad and breadsticks before Bobby fills Darby with something else . . . and presto change-o . . . JAXSON II

never kiss and tell
