Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 20, 2021

Vic, is this how it is now? You’re just giving away food without having the authority? Probably next week he’ll pull students out of the stands to shoot half court shots to win money out of the office’s petty cash.

And speaking of petty, it would be bigger than a petty crime to not read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

Oh, back to my normal schedule starting tomorrow, so no more midnight postings of daily strips. More like late afternoon.

Raise your hand if you just checked your driver’s license number. (Not a single 7.)

P2 GilPa in a suit, what’s up with that Willis???

“And at half time I’ll be giving out a bottle of antacids!”

Pair of 7s. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em. Kenny used to regularly visit my hometown. R.I.P. Gambler.

P3 – a tease on maybe we can find out which state Milford’s in. No luck

P4 – Gil pulls out his wallet as all the players run to the locker room to check theirs

P2 , Gil fires up his team by telling them, See this joint I’m holding there’s one for everyone if we win tonight . In all reality , we can all get high together after a win!

“And in honor of coach Thorp, you get hot dogs for the rest of the season if your number has the longest string of zeroes!”

Vic Doucette, the wiener king of Milford

Vic may have just violated Gilpa’s golden rule of “Basketball first” (as if GilPa really cares), by causing a stampede by those who have not 2, not 4, but 3 7’s in their fake ID’s….errrr…drivers licenses, which disrupts the game as the losers refuse to concede defeat and stand on the court arguing their case for Vic’s free wiener and ticking off GilPa. After the game GilPa pulls Vic aside and chastises him with a sternly worded rebuke for playing with his wiener during games. GilPa then suspends Vic from his PA duties for 3 games, replacing him with Duncan the pirate boy. To add injury to insult, GilPa sends Vic to the Janitor’s Closet to ‘splain his behavior to (Get off my floor!) Mopman.

So, now Vicky D is discriminating against those students who have yet to obtain their driver’s licenses?

More than half the kids won’t even have driver’s license. Underclassmen discrimination. An episode of The Price is Right breaks out.

Gil Thorp’s enormous hand makes a cameo in today’s Rex Morgan M.D.!

Soooo Vicky D gave away a free wiener (is the rub here that it was his free wiener?), how does that stimulate sales of Frankies Furters? It would seem to me the a better way to promote wiener sales would be for Frankie to give Vic a half dozen and a sling-shot them into the crowd during time outs – awww hell, why not just fire them at opposing players as he calls out an insulting knick name he created since he is already on GilPa’s double-secret loofah list?

Now, where’s the option of getting a Zonk behind door #1 if you pass on the free hot dog?

Just wait for the stampede at the next game when Vic raffles off some of the leftover amazing sloppy joes!

P1, What’s your beef, lady?

P2, That isn’t fake. . .

P3, But you gotta buy your own drink.

P4, And in a rare 4-panel episode of Gil Thorp, slick Vic gets to find out the addresses of all the hot young Milford chicks.

P2 – Nice to see Gil holding a highliter in a tip o’ the hat to Digger Phelps.

“and if you don’t have three sevens, you get two hot dogs.” (Groucho Starfish)

Whew – there’s plenty of unhappy comments at ‘Clay Jones’. Now, I’m glad my DL number isn’t H%#^-%*-$)%. I don’t even know how to drive a stick shift yet. Don’t mess with the all-beef franks!

P2: “… can you guys tell me what’s goin on?…”
