Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for April 26, 2024

this used to be about high school sports. Now it’s just an acid trip.

So he’s introducing Beth to the kids? “This is who I have been sleeping with.” Jami: A sleepover?!? Hooray!

Bunny brief?!? What/who the hell is that? Is this one of those Joe Biden colloquialisms?

Gil wearing a red tie. Mean anything?

I swear to Mel Famey he would have been a star pitcher if it wasn’t for the booze.

P1 “I should know what kind of birth control she uses.”

P2 “You can ask, but she might tell you that it’s nonya, as in none of your business – peanut.”

P3 Beth arriving wearing blackface. Gil’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

P4 “Your other, other mother.”

Gil doesn’t even pick her up?

Great ice breaker… You voting for old man Biden or old man Trump? As for me, I’m for the transgender, pro Palestine and anti-democracy candidate. Bunny Brief is not pleased.

P2- Vote? Bartenders smoke and drink.

P3- Holy moly. Gil booked Beth on a round tripper with Trailways. Difficult to fathom the new Mrs. Gil Thorp sloshing drinks at Ricozzi’s.

It’s Connecticut. I have a pretty good idea how that vote’s going.

P 4: Beth takes one look at those two geeky-a$$ geeks behind Gil, turns around, gets back in her car, and drives away so fast that her car kicks up gravel and dust.

“Kids, I want you to meet the hot bartender chick who I burned a lot of aviation fuel for so I could get laid and win a basketball game.”

jami wonders what kind of vittles is dads weekend special might have ?

Carmen Sandiego. So that’s where she was.

why does it look like peanut is giving big daddy a old fashion

This comic used to be the first website I visited in the morning. Even before reading my email. Now some days I don’t even read. Or I get to it later to read the snarky comments. A little sad.

Who are the kids meeting? Wrong answers only.

Looks like Gil’s gonna be taking ol’ one-eye to the optometrist.

What is Keri doing with her hands in the background? Is she making that, “simulating intercourse with fingers” thing? And speaking of simulating, Mopped Up Thorp is typically simulating being a real comic strip.

I’m going to guess that it will turn out NOT to be Beth.

And yet another twist.

Is there a tardis somewhere nearby? I feel like we’re jumping between dimensions.

Vito from Goshen did his friend Gil a favor and shipped in some professional work from Las Vegas for the weekend. She’ll be helping Gil with his numerous personal and professional dysfunctions, free of charge.

Henry’s dumpster fire continues.
