Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for April 12, 2016

I think I know where this is going – an investigation into Mop’s cleaning techniques. This should be interesting.

The old travelling solvent salesman shtick – well, if the barkeep is Walter White then buddy’s day just got a whole lot better!

That bar is a little dive on the inside, but on the outside it looks like it should be on the Las Vegas Strip.

You Latin scholars out there might remember that Verres was a Roman official in charge of Sicily who apparently did a lousy job and was brought to trial on corruption charges. Or so says the Internet.

Looks like they’re borrowing from “Mary Worth” for this next story line…

Well, a hard day of selling industrial solvents leads to a long night of drinking them. What, you thought Verne was buying the good stuff? And WTF does this have to do with baseball in Milford?

I agree with wmac8898. I think this is Rubin and Whigham acknowledging that they read MUT.

Sign Man should go after the contract for making the Central City street signs. The one in P2 looks like Woodstock from Peanuts made it.

ZOMG! They’re coming after Mopman’s supplies! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!

Didn’t Gill have a bald assistant named Matt Barns a few years back? Pre Kaz; Post Todd…. Something about Mimi?Coen Bros

Looks like a younger Gil. Does he have a younger brother?

In all reality , the Solvent Sultan has discovered that when applied to a baseball it makes the ball spin and break crazily And now we know where this storyline is going. So long Vernes, Hello Milford baseball

It all makes perfect sense. A former HS Chemistry teacher now bartender on the lam. Loves listening to Tommy James and The Shondells. Wears a funny looking black hat purchased at the Central City Thrift Store. Tells anyone who will listen, much like former Senator John Blutarsky, it’s over when he sez it’s over. Specialty is killer Blue Martinis.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!Usually one adds “I apologize” after something like that.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! I’m starting to hyperventilate! Industrial solvents? Who in Milford would even care about them. Only one person that I can think of. You know what that means. I’M BACK IN THE STRIP, BABY!!!MUT will be done later today. I’m too excited to concentrate now.

Sorry for 3 consecutive comments with none of them saying MUT was done, but curious about this establishment as shown in P2. Can’t figure out what it would say. “Vernes COCKTM—-”, stupid street sign blocking the last part. I don’t think you can make a word with whatever is the rest.

Industrial solvents and the high school baseball season. My expectations have now been raised for an interesting spring story line. I hope Neal and Rod don’t let me down.

A bar fight breaks out and a kindly old man who used to wrestle breaks it up. Don’t think they have used that story yet, have they?

Somethings up, as cop car 4 Adam 12, the backup to the backup to 1 Adam 12 is rolling by in P2.

Veires Cockta? At the corner of |||||| and |||||? I know that place!

I’d tell you every detail but then I would have to kill ya!

@JPuzzleWiz: Don’t listen to MOP. You beat me to the reference fair and square. In other thoughts: The solvent salesman stirred my ancient SCI-FI movies memories. I can’t wait for BOO to meet SWAMPTHING.

Ah! Steve Lum buys a gallon drum of disinfectant for the Milford gym’s whirlpool, and the solvent salesman, who is by now totally blotto, delivers a drum of hydrochloric acid instead. Tru Standish sticks his all-star arm in it, and it immediately dissolves. Hilarity ensues!

Since when did walter white begin serving drinks in Central City?

Is anyone here familiar with Drew Peterson and his disappearing 4th wife? Perhaps we’re finally going to get to the bottom of the disappearing Thor P kids?

A huffing storyline, perhaps? Certainly would be better than the inane crap we’ve been receiving.

Shouldn’t there be an apostrophe before the S in Verne’s?

More likely “Verres,” French for glasses.

I guess I’m the only one who sees the sign as Verres. That fourth letter looks like another r to me.

I think Sign Man has some opportunities in Central City for bar and street signs.

It’s Gil’s brother. While Gil went on to a career as a high school coach and athletic director, Gil’s brother made a fortune in industrial solvents.

Mrs. Thorp, I’m hear to help Pedro clean your pool. Perhaps, Pedro and I can do other “pluming” jobs for you. We could “team” up and you could “coach” us.

I misspoke earlier. It isn’t Swamp Thing. Milford is going to play Nukem High and the “Toxic Avenger”. MOP may have to draw/cut and paste those birds nests after all. R&W are going green. The Global Warming High Priest will be holding an Inquisition for all deniers. Blood, Torture, Solvents, how good can this Spring be? The school season should end just before August.
