Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 29, 2023

I haven’t watched juvie foobaw on the teevee in a very long time.

How is football illegal even in a juvie facility? What about a game of pick up basketball ??Need more wine !!!!

The Supreme Court said we had a right to it back in the 1960s, Emily. Oh, you mean that football game.

“S’more wine” is obviously made from fermented marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.

Yes, that should be illegal.

I think we all need more wine before reading the strip. A lot more wine…

Although I’ll probably want a six-pack of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. I don’t like wine.

And some readers may find the strip reads better after a few beers.

BOOM! BOOM! OUT GO THE LIGHTS!

Okay, I thought that Mimi and Ericka met in Arizona playing golf, that Ericka had just broken up with her girlfriend, and that she and Mimi were instantly attracted to one another. Now Ericka is in Milford and is staying with Gil and Mimi? Am I missing something here?

First the COTY awards banquet; now, the “historical” juvie game at state-of-the-art indoor facility, Mimi is getting sloshed with Erika instead of supporting her husband by attending !!!!! Gil, wake up !!! I’m talking about the Big D and I don’t mean Dallas.

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand /Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine? / Must have been a dream. I don’t believe where I’ve been /Come on – let’s do it again

This local sports broadcast is brought to you by Pirate TV. Your generous donations make this telecast possible. Is Marty working for Duncan Levin and doing a simulcast?

P2- Popcorn or Fiddle Faddle on the coffee table looks like Woodstock drew it. Kenny Lark’s Mom is on her way with a fresh box of wine.

P4: “Have you ever been in a Turkish prison, Emily?”

They televise a football game from a correctional facility? Quick trivia question: Does anyone remember what this comic strip used to be about?

While on the subject of prisons getting away with stuff. What about all your daughter gets away with Emily.

P4 “I mean, I do all the time. Here Emily, put your hands behind your back and let me slip these cuffs on you.”

Sheesh, P2 Emily looks like she’s been rode hard and put up wet.

P1 – That wine sounds disgusting.

P2 – Does popcorn go well with S’mores Wine? Does anything really?

P3 – Gotta be a callout to The Longest Yard.

And speaking of callout, I’m calling out to everyone to check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/2023/07/29/must-see-tv/

For a second, I thought Mimi was in a sky box.

Ahhhh… nothing like a couple of alkies snugglin’ up on the couch for the big in-house televised juvenile correctional center exhibition football game

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

“Imagine what they get away with in adult prisons. Oh, hey, I just happen to have this DVD about what they get away with in adult women’s prisons! Maybe we could watch that instead of the game? Ha ha, just kidding. Unless…?”

P 2: Mimi isn’t talking about the game

No wonder Keri is in counseling for anger issues and more since her dad is never around and her mom spends all her time day drinking with her new “ friend “

P1- Are the kids home too?

P2- No ring on that finger!

P3- That’s Rodney Barnes’ second TD……to himself?

Gil should be sent to prison.

If there were a 4th panel, seems like it would be some hot Milford coach action

P2: Get me some more wine NOW, damit!

Episode 26 of Milford After Dark is now online.

Bruce Springsteen said there were 57 channels and nothing on, so cable TV said “hold my beer” and went to 570 channels and started covering juvenile detention football.

Probably might not occur tonight but not holding my breath

“(Yawn) I’m getting bored, Ericka. Hey, I still have Gil’s old vinyl George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’. Do you have time to listen to all three records? Gil and I cut the cake on ‘Isn’t It a Pity’.”
