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

Another great short story line.

And the crowd goes still…

The crowd goes MILD!!!!

P4: “But the song she is singing. Is one I forgot.”

If that’s Aimee Mann singing, then these Milford girls are 15 going on 50.

I keep hoping that this will great better but the strip only gets worse. I’m surprised that they still print it.

Everyone Loves You, why should they not, when you smell so pretty, Happy Birthday Dot

I’m having a hard time following this.

And is Aimeee Mannn somehow related to Greggg Hammm?

Aimee Mann. Whatever.

Why should they not love you, let me count the ways. Anybody ever read the new?

Aimee Mann? Bring back Gail Martin! I wanna hear Tarzana Nights!!!

This is now a comic about Aimee Mann.“The Misdirect” indeed.

At least it could be Taylor Swift but these tickets were probably free.

In all reality, Ho Hum !

Safe to say Belinda Carlisle and The Go Gos are not playing . Puff puff pass Inma.

Peanut joins the Fistpump Family!

Deer in the Headlights

P 2.5 – Aimee: “….everyone loves you Peanut, except Pedro…. Giggle…”

Everyone love you? What freakin’ world are you living in?

Too bad there aren’t loud, percussive sounds that would trigger Peanut’s PTSD. I’d love that.

If I were Keri I’m pretty happy that I didn’t pay to see this show.

inma is very upset she thought they were gonna see sheik yabooty

they could have gone and seen Wilber Weston do karaoke

no fog machine no pyrotechnics what a bore

Is she the opening act for Slim Whitman?

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

As someone who relies on the syndicated newspaper strip Gil Thorp to discover what the teens are into, I’m excited to learn that what they’re into is beloved Gen X indie rocker Aimee Mann, and what they want to hear from her is “Red Vines,” the single from her 2000 album Bachelor No. 2. Naturally, being a 49-year-old man who thought of himself as vaguely hip 24 years ago, I find this news satisfying and will be doing no further research on the subject of teen musical tastes in the year 2024.

Henry really has no clue. Even my youngest kids wouldn’t listen to Aimee Mann on a bet. What next with this incredible nonsense, a Sean Penn cameo? Please Henry, do the right thing by fans of GT and quit. Go do your horribly bad Batman crap or something but leave this strip to someone who knows how to write a daily strip and who will do right by the fans.

Makes sense now. I saw Aimee Mann in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago. At the end of the show she shouted “Thank you, Milford!!” instead. That musta been the previous night’s show.

Actually this all makes sense. Aimee Mann had a fling with Luke Martinez in LA during his Dodgers days, which sadly led to “Voices Carry.”

Are those Fistpump Man’s daughters in the crowd? And speaking of crowds, join the crowd that’s reading Mopped Up Thorp.
