Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for November 09, 2019

Did he happen to use the word “baggage” a lot?

Is Chet a cousin of Marty Moon? It would explain a lot.

Aren’t reporters supposed to protect their sources?

P1, He sounded like Gilbert Gottfried.

P2, Of course, of course.

P3, Yellow.

Translating Gil’s last quote,“YES”.

Here we go, for the next week or two, beaten’ the hide off this dead horse

P4: “…got any of those amazing sloppy joes?…”

“He also asked what I was wearing and was breathing pretty hard.”

Does Marjie’s office phone have Caller ID? Or hasn’t that technology reached Milford yet?

He’s Chet curious.

Gah! Why didn’t anyone tell me there was a typo in yesterday’s MUT? Fixed now, but probably hurt my chances for a Cartoonist of the Year nomination.

P-1: GIL! Didn’t your Mom teach you not to bite your hangnails?

P-2: he sounded like a lame imitation of Cookie Monster

P-3: Yep, sounds like Chet

Marjie reminds me of Babs Jansen. The Animal House scene when she tells Greg Marmalard that Greg’s girlfriend and Eric Stratton (Otter) are doing the dirty deed.

….and action!Marjie: Gil, I hate that Mimi is making a chump out of you. Pedro and Mimi are doing the dirty deed. But I love ya GilPa, that’s why I had to tell ya.

Gil: Marjie, I want you to do something for me.Next scene, Pedro pulls up to The Lost River motel as Mr. Thoughtful with a dozen roses for a tryst with the unfaithful Mimi. State Champ Gil’s henchmen work Pedro over like a serving of chips and salsa.

“My eyes are up here Gil.”

Meanwhile , 6’8" Stretch Slattery moves into his older sister’s apartment in the dead of night. Don’t worry Stretch , Milford has no residency requirements and basketball doesn’t start for at least 2 weeks , in all reality .

P2.5: Are you sure it wasn’t Brian Johnson?

“I am Curious…Yellow?” That gets Marjie’s attention. And speaking of attention, pay attention to today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp. It can be considered a biting reflection on the broad issues of our modern society, and how the lack of personal interaction can result in….oh who am I kidding. It’s childish as always.

“Uh, great Coach, thanks for the tip. While I’m here would you give me the starting lineup for the basketball season—so we can move on from this crazy dumb storyline?”
