Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 25, 2023

Toby wishes she had gone through with the abortion? So confused.

You mean she wasn’t wearing an AC/DC tee shirt when she gave birth?

Hey, we’re not preparing for a share-your-intimate-secrets talk-a-thon, now get lifting!

P4: Tobi: “Wait, what?”

P5: Gil: “The abortion. You mom wanted to abort you.”

P6:Tobi: “I was talking about that time I wanted her to moon the street performers in front of the street performers at Mann’s Chinese Theater!”

P7: Tobi: [head down] “But she wouldn’t.”Gil: “Um… Sorry, that was… Whoops, wrong thread!”

Just think. If Mel didn’t have Tobe, we would have a different storyline. Or 3,4 or 5.

P-1: It was a California Hippy Hospital, and we had tickets to “Theater in the Round”.

P-2: Kyle, the kid with the car, you know, no one was sure who your actual Dad was.

P-3: Notice how Gil emphasizes the correct pronoun (twice). Pay attention Keri.

Interesting how Gil in P1 looks to be the same age as he does in P3, but Toby in P1 is a high school student and a newborn in P3. The space-time continuum has been ruptured, much like Gil will be as a result of the Lift-a-Thon. BTW, shouldn’t that be a Lift-a-Ton, since we’re talking about lifting weights here?

kyle was stuck at work so was marty moon

Am I the only one who can’t figure out what’s going on in this strip? It seems as though each day there’s a vignette unrelated to any previous ones.

I am sure this is a topic most parents avoid telling their children. Why would you?

What does Kyle do that he can’t leave work for the birth of his child? And who’s Kyle?

“We were there when she had you.” I don’t know if I’d be comfortable with my high school teachers/coaches watching me push a baby out of my hoo-haw. But people are closer in Milford I think. And speaking of thinking, I’m thinking you’ll enjoy today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Rereading it made me laugh, so I’m proud of today’s ridiculousness.

P3- Kyle also chose wisely and left town.

P-1: Nice Manicure star HB trying to score with the coach’s Non-B daughter.

P-2: The strip artist wants a job with the Yellowstone show and shows his skill at drawing papoose babies coming from Hippy blond girls.

P-3: Mimi fakes the hand-off to Gil and drops back to…oh no!

P 3 (Mimi): “… gosh Gil…. Why does that baby look so much like you?…”

P1.5 “Well ToBe, don’t forget, we live in the Thorp-o-verse. Retroactive abortions are legal here, just say the word and I can make you NotToBe.”

“Really coach, you would do that for me?”

“F-no ToBe, you are in comic strip h*ll now. There’s no way out for you. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!”

The 5th edition of Milford After Dark went online this morning. Only those with the most refined taste in highbrow humor will appreciate it.
