Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 28, 2019

Is that a loofah Gilpa is holding in his hand?

P1, The History Of Chance? A new class at Milford?

P2, Shower skills?

P3, Are they reviewing Chance’s dating profile?

In all reality , Are you willing to give Chance a chance Coach Thorp and let him make Milford great again ?

Is she wrinkling her nose in disgust in the last panel?

P3- GilPa could also be describing John Pasco.

“Good to be around…except during his blow top moments.”

Quiet demeanor . . . supportive . . . good to be around. Obviously a target for suspicion.

When Gil needs a tough yard for the Valley title he’ll whisper ‘blowtop’ and Chance will run wild! Only Gil and Grandpa know the right tone of voice to keep him under wraps.

Gil just spread the headline but no details. BLOWTOP MAD RB

P-1: Gil fails Freshman English

P-2: evidence Grandma and Grandpa do crosswords together

P-3: Is Gil memorizing his Thesaurus?

Question: What ever happened to Wilbur Floppenhammer?

P3: …Granny Macy appears to be a bit of a close talker…

How in the world would this be some massive, devastating secret? I mean at least some of his classmates would remember him being a torment in 2nd grade. And parents would remember him “being sent away” or whatever. If he came from another school district, I’d buy it. If nothing worse than “throwing scissors” is in his background, this is beyond stupid. He better have really killed his parents! That would be worth covering up.

And speaking of covering up, there is no covering up the fact that Mopped Up Thorp is finished and ready for your perusal.

Speaking of missing in action and coverups, haven’t seen much of Kaz. Did he finally get busted for supplying alcohol to minors?

What’s with Gil’s head in P3? It looks like he’s doing the Larry David lookover when he thinks someone is lying.
