Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 28, 2021

Yikes.

“Unless . . . . "

I mean, no reason not to be direct, I guess….

“So I guess you’ll be making out with me tonight.”

This looks like the start of a porno lol.

I expect this to get the full treatment at “Mopped Up Thorp.”

Glasses come off. Then bun holder, followed by headshake as lush hairdo drops into place. “Want to leave the children’s section, see our private collection, and check ME out?”

She started moving nice and easySlowly getting near to my spineKilling off each last little feelingOoh everyone she could findAnd when she had me hollow and naked, yeahThat’s when she put me downPulled out a knife and flashed it before meStuck it in and turned it around

Then she made me say things I didn’t want to say, you knowThen she made me play games I didn’t want to playShe was a soul stripper, yeahOoh she took my heartOoh was a soul stripperTore me apart

P3.5 you know, you don’t have to be lonely tonight…I have a few subjects that need to be studied…

In all reality , I don’t want to be lonely and I’d sure like to see and visit parts of your library I haven’t seen but I didn’t bring any protection with me. Don’t worry honey I have some in my top drawer . Great let’s get ready to RR RUMBLE !

Her father is trying to sink an entire public resource for the whole town and she’s mad at the guy trying to stop him. You picked a winner, Zane.

P1, Nope, she’s history.

P2, And. . .

P3, She is!

P4, Marion The Librarian makes her move knowing the library will be a Brito-free zone tonight.

“Actually, I usually do, if you know what I mean.”

P 4: “. Whaddya say we give her a real reason to be mad at you…”

P1- After suffering a case of EES, can’t help but think of Miss Davis, the teacher/dancer in Varsity Blues. Though the librarian is not in her class, she’s not Jane Hathaway either. A spit my coffee moment ensures when Zagnut goes all out, channeling Billy Bob. “Ms. Wampler, will you go to prom with me?”

R&W just made Mopmans job so much easier today.

P4 come visit me in the secluded alcove by the printer that doesn’t work, I’m going to show you the meaning of WOMP in my last name big boy

P 1.5: “… Hey! …. There was no makin out…. It was just a quick handy a couple of times…”

“Just think, Zane, the Milford High commencement is less than a month away. Are you ready to be… The Graduate???”

Yowza! There’s sure going to be something that we learn during the base/softball storyline this year.

The rare 4 panel Thorpe. Cue my close up

It is going to be a real letdown when she offers him campaign tips…

This could be next-level campaign dirty-tricks. Incriminating photos will be passed on to Marje, an offer will be made to Marion by “talent” scouts, and Abe says if elected, he will read a big book.

Good news, I got some part time work at the elementary school. Having fun with it!

She seems to be stalking him, watching him make out in the history section, where no one ever goes…pretty pervy. More proof the library is overstaffed if she has time to track him….there’s never anyone else around, either. Pulls the glasses down and talks about going solo…“Well, you don’t have to…”

I’m disappointed nobody commented on my excellent work on the counters at the library. But speaking of work, today was the least amount of work I’ve done on a Mopped Up Thorp strip ever!

Why would she be mad at him? She knows her father is being a jerk.

Ms W looked a little bit different on 5/18. Black hair, brown eyes and different glasses. I’m shocked!………….Not

Why do I feel like I need to take a shower?

The actress playing the librarian isn’t very good. She needs to change it up sometimes. Despite looking like a stereotypical librarian, she always does the stereotypical “slightly pull down the glasses and look over them” thing. See the May 18th strip.
