Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 18, 2022

This correct prediction doesn’t seem worth celebrating, but yay, I guess.

At least both parents are from new places…

P1: Manners go out the door.

In all reality , Wait a minute your Mom’s from a new Delhi , where’s it located ? How’s the corned beef ? Want me to stand on the table and announce this ?

Manners or PC?

P1.5 “I’m going to slap myself in the head now for asking such a rude question.”

Thank goodness the french fries are now safe from being shoved into a foreign orifice.

“I’ve always been too well-mannered to ask…but now I’m going to be a d**k and ask anyway.”

Well, I’m sure glad that info was covered. This story just gets more exciting each day.

This is just like that girl in biology class a few years ago. Think she had a Japanese last name. My brother dated a girl named Inga Bernstein.

Mom is from New Delhi, dad from New Jersey. Shouldn’t they be living in New Thayer?

P 1.5: And Pranit replies, “And I’ve always been too polite to ask, is that a real hairstyle or did you wake up in a haystack again?”

P 2.5: “…because he prefers it over ‘Rob’ and ‘Robert’…”

The story behind his name takes more panels than most of the games.

Yay, I nailed it! One of the parents is from India, one isn’t, and the explanation was boring. So I assume Trevor Lawrence is standing on a table in P2 while he asks his question. And speaking of questions, Mopped Up Thorp is here to answer all of your maddening Gil Thorp questions.

“Pranit” is no more peculiar than some of the other kid’s names these days.

“Pranit” is the Indian equivalent of “Bob”.
