Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 09, 2018

“Let’s hope I’m done with the Baders for a while”? You’ve got a lot of nerve, Dafne. This whole thing was your idea. You pestered Barry into an interview, then drove three hours to see Del in prison. Now you act like the Baders won’t leave you alone. Good grief.

That must be Bader’s famous clenched fist in P2 – how he got his name.

P1, Not if the Cow Judge is on the Parole Board.

P2, I think your “little” Bader problem is just beginning. Bye, bye Milford CC.

P3, Is this Mrs. Bader? Boo’s mom? The beginning of the summer story? A letter-writing campaign by the snarkers to get us to Milford CC stat?

In all reality , it appears that nobody other than Double D has/had any interest in her story . Daphne you better watch your six for the rest of your life , you started a time bomb ticking .

Panel two: Bader is about to lose it, reach up and punch DD right in the knee!

P1- Barry in dire need of youth counseling.

P2- That Burger Chef sticky flower on Carrie Hobson’s back pack has infuriated our anti hero into a vice like grip.

P3- ……that you tap my keys more Ninja like.

Downtown Milford?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! A PPO to keep DD and BB both at least 500 feet away from this strip

Subliminal message and interesting fact: Berry’s freckles are actually patterned after an early picture from the Hubble Telescope. This explains his “alienation”.

Downtown? so this is Petula Clark typing?

You know we all missed one from R&W Saturday. They threw that big Barry Bader hand right in our faces in panel one and we all kind of missed the ‘bait’….. if you get my drift.

P1 – This drawing just doesn’t work. BB is shorter than DD, yet he’s hunched over while talking to her. If he’s trying to put his face close to DD’s DDs, then it makes sense.

P2 – Isn’t that what we’re all hoping for? To be done with the Baders?

P3 – Why is the computer screen dictating a letter to the typist?

This story has gotten beyond asinine. There’s no state in the country that would allow an unaccompanied minor to interview an incarcerated inmate who is not an immediate family member, much less publish/post an official story somewhere. I hope BB does do something crazy. It’s the only way to make this story interesting.

Hey – I didn’t put the words in your dad’s mouth…

Double D needs to keep her nose out of everybody’s business.

Well, that ends this episode. I am so invisible that DD never learned that I was driving the pickup.

Hey now that I’m done writing the Bader’s story and making their lives miserable , why don’t I write about the Thorp’s missing children and their lack of effort to find them . Òf goody, that would be grand Daphne . Thanks Ms Rizk , In all reality , I’ll start right away . Bye !

What happened to the font? I can’t believe no one else has commented on the font change. Am I hallucinating?

Having a sinking feeling that Marty is going to invite Barry onto his show to give his side of the story.
