Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 25, 2019

Wrap your minds around this: 8 people “hearted” yesterday’s strip.

What is it with early male pattern baldness in Milford? They’ve got to be getting their water from Flint.

This storyline is a low bar.

P1, All of these girls should be sent to Swifty-Mart for bread and milk.

P2, An we should care, why?

P3, Next thing you know bald spots will be too-cool-for-school, too.

P1 What’s with the mustache??? P2 That Jamila is pretty astute, she knows her animals!!!! P3 Let’s define the bar for "too cool for school? Cuz I agree it seems pretty low at the moment.

Too lame for fame.

In all reality , my Mom collected pictures of Fonzi , he was too cool for school . Speaking of low bars ,I saw Marty Moon passed out in front of the Dew Drop Inn on Skid Row .

The friar has a gift for understatement

MILFRED. Did Jamilla’s mom make their jerseys, too, or is this the Bizarro Gil Thorp. Man, I’m rooting for Bizarro.

“Yeah, but there not dogs or bears.” Um, what? Is that a compliment or a negative? I don’t get the point.

So Molly decides what’s in or out for the team?

P1- The one thing that is too cool for school is moustaches have made a triumphant return to MHS. Molly’s tribute to Clark Gable is coming in nicely.

Why not use a hippo during softball season? They have to have some use during the rest of the year aside from being an ideal Christmas gift.

This could be why kids don’t collect stamps, coins, or even baseball cards like they used to….they are now collecting hippos.

Setting up for the major team conflict when Jamila has to miss the big game in order to attend a garage sale!

Admittedly there’s a pretty low bar for GT story lines, but this one hasn’t surmounted it.

Molly is some leader

I am a big fan of tall girl’s expression in P1.

P2- I thought the Bucket doesn’t allow smoking, but there is a big ash tray of butts right there next to the Padre…

I was wondering what happened to Burt after Abby left NCIS.

Bet you can’t guess what I collect.

I got a lot of joy watching Willie Mays play baseball for many years, until he hung on too long and it was kind of pathetic. I wonder why this strip reminds me of that?

and I keep reading the strip daily and occasionally commenting sigh

after two weeks, I think any bar would be attractive to the bloggers, low or not

I just realized how cruel Linda is in P2. She calls her teammates hippos? First we had a cow judge, now hippo softball players.

I have not looked this up yet. Wasn’t there a cartoon called “Peter Potamus”? one of those Hanna/Babera (Sp?) productions.

I knew a kid back in the early ’70’s who was also “too cool for school”. He ended up doing 5 to 7 down in Pontiac, last I heard.

This strip has gone straight down the shitter..I’m out…
