Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 12, 2020

P1 – One stupid joke in front of one other person in 3rd grade, and nine years later the whole school is in on it. Okay.

P2 – It really should be Alexa doing the “my eyes are up here” line.

P3 – First, she’s right next to him, why is he calling her over? And second, what’s with the stupid reply she gave? I’m sure it will all make nonsense tomorrow.

And speaking of nonsense, all 3 of this week’s strips have been redone in Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

P1, And now R&W are going to drag out this one lame joke for another nine years.

P2, If only we had writers like that.

P3, Pull my finger!

Oh, and nice job on that floor, MOP!

P1 Why is this in black face?

In all reality , Look Phoebe , I want to ask Alexa to the Valentines Dance, why don’t you ask Alexa herself for the answer. Good idea ,thanks .

It begs the question. Where Chance Macy and Chris Schuring in the same 3rd grade class? Aggressive scissor play and heartless quips have led us through 2/3’s of the Milford academic year and what do we have to show for it? Some amazing left over Sloppy Joes that kept giving and Phoebe, who stole Tony Romo’s hat. Is Marty taking a sabbatical nap?

P3. Talk to the hand, or whatever that is on the end of my arm.

The color version of the strip gives us an example of the bold and daring floors of the future. The vibrant color highlights the modern style/shine technique of the artiste known as Mopman. He is acclaimed in the Valley as the Banksy of Wax.

Lesson learned: Neither the boys or girls basketball team is winning any conference championship this year.

The more she reacts to being called some asinine reference to an old computer, the more she will get teased

What’s wrong with being called by your name? I have seen quite a few real last names that are a lot worse.

Ha. We are so awesome. I’ll bet no one saw the nine-years-ago plot thing coming!

As usual, I’m confused. Was it really important for Phoebe to blow off her study group today so that Alexa could tell her what Chris said nine years ago?

P 2: “…get me out of this strip before I shoot myself…”

P 4: “…uh,..what?…”

P3: A young Allen Ludden gets an idea….

P2: “Put your finger on your forehead. Now, what is the abbreviation for mountain?”

Now, if Alexa’s big, gangly ass had just done back in 3rd grade what that kid did in today’s Dick Tracy episode, we wouldn’t be havin’ this conversation…in fact, it might be the other way around, as Schuring could never live down the ass-whuppin’ he got from a girl
