Where is this strip going? How did it so badly run off the rails, and, more importantly, why are the editors/syndicate allowing it to continue. I’m sorry, but HB has to go. His take on what Gil Thorp should be is so far removed from the original concept as to make it unrecognizable. He has turned this into a platform for his own social agenda. Some strips successfully make transitions into current affairs and address cultural changes, but this isn’t one of them. Other strips remain relevant and entertaining without ever leaving the world in which they were created. Look at the strips that have successfully navigated the years and the changes without ever deviating from their original path. The list is endless. The high dive HB takes into ‘woke’ (I actually hate that word) issues and political correctness on a daily basis serves no purpose and does nothing more than destroy the legacy of the creator. Enough is enough. This is Gil Thorp in name only. The soul of the strip is gone.
