Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 10, 2017

This was so predictable.

I really thought on yesterday’s strip that someone would make a comment about panel three, in reference to “first shift” and saying they were taking turns in the showers. Soapy started to go there…

So they drove in stone cold silence from the gym to the diner until Gil revealed the nature of the detour?

600 lbs. gorilla…… whose we?

What a sport Gil is, buying the big plate of fries for the kid.

A Quad looks like some sort of weird alien rooster in P1. And why does that kid have one of little Keri’s drawings hanging in his locker?

Okay, is this where Social Services shows up to take possession of A Quad while the police are arresting Mom? Otherwise wouldn’t he just take him to The Bucket? Good move coach, take him to a place where he won’t be recognized so as not to embarrass the kid. Nicely done, Gil.

Oh, who am I kidding, that’ll never happen.

p2 Is Gil bout to broadside that car??? p3 Looks like Gil lost a finger somewhere along the way!!!

In all reality , Why would Aaron so readily accept a ride from Gil ,someone he was so angry at ? Why would Gil tell Aaron WE are still sorting out what to do about your Mom , I’m sure that makes Aaron feel better . Lots of questions , I predict at least 2 more weeks of this nonsense .

By avoiding The Bucket and hitting The Sloppy Diner, GilPa shields Aaron from the whispers and looks of the curious. I take it the burg of Milford does not have a food bank program. With the help of locals like Wildcat, John Jawor, Chief Lind and Carl Peake, Dr. Pearl could lead something worthwhile.

Maybe Gil should have bought him something to eat, Then he wouldn’t have to share his fries.

Gil apparently boycotting Subwich and The Copyright Cafe.

“Of course I’m going to finish my fries, I paid for them, I’m not giving them to you.” “If you want half my fries just ask, say the words.” “Modell, you do this every time.”

Why is Tru(E) in the locker room in panel one?

Bitsy this is one you need to listen to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lekAYjwXbsw

I think that’s Mimi!

Wow, nice passive aggressive sarcastic answer in P3, Gil. He wants to feed him but then makes him feel like he’s being greedy. And speaking of greedy, I’m always greedy as to how many people I hope are reading Mopped Up Thorp.

P-1: our British fans wonder why Gil is offering AQ a home with an elevator that doesn’t go straight up and down.

P-2: Darn diner dinner duo

P-3: a curious America wants to know after all we thought the story was half baked
