Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 28, 2024

Gil doesn’t look so happy about it… And I have NO IDEA who the two people on either side are. Par for the new course, I suppose.

Ok, I’m dropping Thorp. The recent storylines have been disjointed crap for some time now but the new artist is bad, bordering on insult.

As a long-time Thorp reader, I’m rapidly losing interest. Was the illustrator a DEI hire? Thanksgiving is okay, but recently they seem to be sending greetings for every “holiday” out there. I’m waiting for the Groundhog Day greeting next year…

Fang? Fang II?

Gil looks more like the Geico caveman now.

That is some pretty gruesome artwork.

Dog’s a nice touch.

Thanksgiving peacock and a side of amazing sloppy joes

Needs a ahave

Won’t be so happy when they try to carve that cardboard box of a turkey.

The important thing is Gilfather is recovering and has loving family supporting him. Even if he is acting like a BUM.

Good to see Ma Thorp has started in on the wine. Maybe that will mellow her out a bit.

You are about a month and a half too late, but thanks nonetheless.

Well, at least the writing makes sense today.

The artwork on this comic sucks badly.

For an interesting comparison, check out last Thanksgiving’s Gil Thorp with this years. Whigham understood line weight, interesting composition and consistency, among many other artistic principles. The new artist’s work looks like something that should be the initial sketch, not the finished product

I’m not thankful for this.

Ditto to RDT64.

Is that Corky from Life Goes On?

what happened to this strip?!

if it didnt say gil thorp i was thinking is this the texas chainsaw massacre family

how come the turkey looks like the footballs from last week ?

Who are these people?

Henry and Rachel " Check clear for 11/28?" “Great, we are good to go, as long as the check clears, we don’t give a sh*t!”

While the cornucopia of snark is an abundance of unending wealth of riches, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on the true meaning of the day.

Each year I read the words of Abraham Lincoln’s October 3, 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation and am struck by how true his words are 161 years later:

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God…They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Snark on!

grotesque

id rather hear marty moon then the horrible tony romo maybe the beer will help and jim nantz is just a wussy

The only characters that I recognize here are the dog and the turkey, and I’m not completely convinced that the latter isn’t really the magic peacock. HRAACK!!!

You wouldn’t think the art could get any worse, but every day it does.

Beth is saying, “Geez, let go of my arm, this thing is heavy!” And speaking of heavy, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is not heavy. Not heavy at all.

URINE POOR ART!!!!

Alright, I’m still trying to figure out who is who. Who is Lumpy (well, the newest Lumpy) on the left there? GilMa’s boy toy? Is GilMa a cougar?

I can’t tell who is supposed to be who…
