Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 06, 2024

No, because someone turned off the lights…

Quite the happenin’ place, with one customer who flew in to see his would-be girlfriend.

P2: Shut yo’ mouth!…I’m talking ’bout my ex… Then we can dig it!

Taking the Lord’s name in vain? Really? A new low for Barajas.

Let’s not talk about Mimi, let’s talk about Me-You.

P4: “ Seeing? I see a lot of girls. I see a lot of guys too. The other night, I saw my mom and my brother both at the same time!”

In the shadows, Mopman quietly cleans and curses Gil under his breath for showing up here of all places.

It’s more like she left you, the house and the kids. Wake up Gil, you sap. Thank you too much E(MeMe)ly.

P4 “Yes, I see everyone very clearly. On the other hand, Gregggg Hammmm can’t see sh!t.“

P 4: “… yeah… right now I’m seeing two of you (slurs words)…”

Tomorrow – Gil gets pulled over for FWI (Flying While Intoxicated).

P2.5- Mole, mole, mole. How’d do to like it, how’s do you like it.

Mole, mole, mole. How’d do you like it. How’d do you like it.

Wonder where The Gilfather is bunking tonight, Motel 6? Did they leave the light on for him?

Jesus: “Whoa there… don’t bring me into this.”

I thought Apartment 3-G got. Cancelled?

Thankfully she let me keep the house but I got stuck with the loser kids.

Jesus is a strange name for a lady bartender.

I wonder if Gil has thought this through. He can’t fly back now that he’s drinking old fashioneds. I guess he’s going to have to stay out of town tonight.

Yas, bay bay! Gilpa gonna get some!

Back in aught 2 when I started reading this &*&^% it was billed as “a strip about teenage issues” ; Now it seems I am reading panels that seem more like General Hospital. At least some adult content might keep me coming back. Sister wives visits MILFord?

how does beth know hes a great guy from serving him a couple drinks every year ?

lets get straight to the point you wanna have some hanky panky !!!!

nice story gil happy hour starts in five dont forget to make it rain in my tip jar

Let’s see the children are still in school so Gil should be working. Guess him and Dr Pearl have an off the books agreement

“Well, I DID fly all the way here to see you. And I can’t fly home after drinking…”

P 2: “…. Uh, the name is ‘Beth’… not ‘hey-zoose’…”

Where did all the other customers go? When Gil arrived, one other guy was settling up his bar tab. Was that at closing time? Or is this bar normally this deserted? How does it stay in business?

P-1: Gil bores Beth to tears, causing her to re-think this whole GT fantasy thing.

P-2: Gil discovers Beth hasn’t been paying attention.

P-3: To protect her liquor license, Beth gives Gil a sobriety test before cutting him off.

Classic mating dance.

Awkward!!!

“Jami? No worries. Ericka tucked him into bed and read him a bedtime story. Your place again?”

P4: “Yeah, I’m seeing you. Right now. How can I not, you’re like, 3” from my face." And speaking of seeing, you should be seeing Mopped Up Thorp right now.

Pros of dating a bartender — pours you comp doubles whenever you “visit” her at work, always has cash (even though it’s in rolled up bills), includes you on Service Industry Nights at local bars with cheap drinks and hot bartender friends. Cons — never in bed before 4AM even on off nights, might be a smoker, might start running into other dudes that “dated” and hearing psycho stories about her.Depends on how much you like drinking there, Gil.

Gil should forget about Beth and find himself some dumb 20-something girl who wears revealing clothes, posts scandalous pics on social media, giggles a lot, has fake boobs, etc. and let her hang all over him in public long enough that it gets back to Mimi.

Bartender in an empty dive bar no one visits that you have to take a plane to go see…..well thought out.

What the hell kind of divorce attorney did Gil hire to fight for him? “Okay Mimi, pretty please can Gil have the house with the $400,000 mortgage? Oh, thank you so much.”

“She’s stupid for leaving you…”“Heh. Thanks.”“…alive.”

Tomorrow: tennis tryouts are in full swing.

Uhm. Didn’t Gil already hit that thang ??? I mean, when you jump up in bed shirtless screaming “Beth?!”, that’s what I’m thinking . ’Course, HB operates on an entirely different wavelength.
