Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 06, 2013

And to demonstrate that it’s point number three I’ll hold my hand out palm up, or as its known Standard Foreground Hand Position #7.

Another big day for hands. Are we going to learn where Gil and Hairy’s paths have crossed? Did they wrestle each other in high school?

unusually dark foreboding figure Herk cuts in P2. Ah this should be fun . . . wonder if a peacock is involved.

Prepare to learn that counter girl at Subwich is none other than…….. Keri Thorpe!

Yea, he picked the right sub shop. The one I clean in my spare time dammit! “Good old Steve will take care of it again,” says Gil.

In all reality, is Gil flashing Harry a gang sign in p3 .

Hairy doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene. He’s got a daytime job, he’s doing allright.

The authors of this strip really missed the bus when they never wrote about the Thorp kids high school lives. So many stories have been used for story lines. I guess their loss.

I don’t think we’re going to get to see Molly at the caddy shack this summer.

He can play the honky tonk like anything, saving it up for Friday night.

And the Sultans play Creole…..Creole.

thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home

Hmm…Subwich girl seemed a bit more timid than the usual wise-cracking female Milfordians. Perhaps this is some sort of special-needs Subwich owned none by none other than…hmm…maybe that dude with the one arm who became a part-time coach?

I think you’re onto something Bits….

In answer to chiphilton. Gil beat Herk in a high school competition. Gil went to the army and Herk became professional wrestler. Gil got a job coaching and Herk’s tour took him to New Milford. He set up a charity match with Gil and was mopping the floor with him, but seeing how much the students loved Gil he let Gil win.
