Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 22, 2023

Does anyone remember his Sunday companion strip TEEN-WISE?

Beautiful strip today. Both panels. Thanks Henry, for updating Jack’s traditions with adjustments that societal changes demand.

Cue the “you don’t know jack” comments.

(Heavy, slow breathing) “Gil, I’m your father.”

Very apropos.

I hope I look that good when I break the century mark.

Appropriate tribute to Mr. Berrill. BS (Before Snarking), we started our day with Jack’s creation. Thankful we have the strip as a platform to share our witticisms, mainly for laughs.

The recent “beautiful strip” and “great strip today” comments somehow don’t ring true. They’re a little too much. “Nice strip” or “good strip today” might work a little better.

P2 Gil braces up Jack after the shock of seeing Mopman light his birthday candle with the trusty flamethrower. Little does Jack know that E(Mimi)ly, Ericka, Frannie and Cami are ready to jump out of the cake.

Nice tribute, but wheeling that massive cake out into the street seems dangerous. Just ask Mr Reality. And speaking of asking, no need to ask to see today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P 3: “…and if you are wondering what happened to Franny, well here she is! …” ( Franny pops out of cake)…

He’s probably rolling in his grave over the wokeness.

100. The number of games the Mudhens won this year?

if jack was alive he would be asking henry can you please tell me what happen at the museum that night ?

does gil have a joy buzzer in his hand ?

its always good when we don’t have to see jami thorp !

Are we starting over?

P 3 (Gil): “…can I put you in a used car today?…”

In all reality, it’s my Birthday today also.

Jack, late at night in his studio

“Okay, Igor, if you’ll just hand me that test tube of solution…”
