Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 11, 2020

Just like the professional-grade heat you throwing me Babe.

In all reality , I’m glad we filled in the pool and are growing this great garden Mimi. We’ll Gil I have to be honest , I miss the pool when you’re not here ,in all reality .

Is P3 talking about P2? Depends on why CK is sweating. Next stop — Back to the Diner for True’s next pitch. Location, location, location …

P1, That $500 13th round draft pick bonus money is burning a hole in Tru(e)’s pocket.

P2, I was on a football scholarship, no classes for me.

P3, So, Gil is Mimi’s new pool boy?

P3- How does Gil know Corina is a handful? Behavioral wise like a Boo Radley or Bitsy Twill? Thorp is unfazed by carrying that bag of manure trying to impress Mimi. This panel offers EllisBurkes to coin his phase “let us spray.”

Talking about a girl in front of your wife, who has a working garden hose in hand?

P1 – Tru(e) is holding that money like he’s flashing it to a stripper for a lap dance. Err, probably. I’m guessing. I would have no idea how it’s done. Stop looking at me!

P2 – Pretty sure even Communications majors take math. Of course, Tru(e) ever showing up for class probably never happened.

P3 – Really Gil, you’re just now getting around to mulching? In mid-August? The weeds are probably out of control. And one bag at a time for that massive garden?

And speaking of one at a time, it’s best to read Mopped Up Thorp one strip at a time. Although not sure how you could read more than one simultaneously anyway.

P 1.5: “…who sez that we’re done, sugar britches?…”

Pedro gave up pool cleaning to become a landscape artist!!

Is that a bag of manure over your shoulder or are you just glad to see me?

P-1: I can’t believe no one went the obvious route with “you don’t sweat much for chubby girl”.

P-2: after one semester, it’s pretty pretentious to declare you had a major.

P-3: Mimi and Gil fall back on their “Landscaping” degrees and make pocket money gardening for the old widow.

What kind of Mick Jagger/Steven Tyler low rider pants is Gil wearing anyhow?

And is Mini flashing some bare midriff too at her age?

P 4: “…unlike me Gil, she’s used to the high, hard one…”

Now that she’s gotten money for playing I’m not sure she’s eligible to play…

P.2 A future barista at Starbucks.

P 2.5: “…and I learned my math skills at Milford high…”

We see that True is flaunting his never-earned major. His backup plan is to replace the legend Marty Moon. Tru’s already got the fake ID for Corina, and Tru hopes she can keep that relentless sweating under control in the bar with Marty, while Tru takes some video for the Marty Moon-is-a pimp sting. Ric Soto is already working on his intro music for the new show.
