Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 25, 2019

Who called single panel with Kaz and gf? Everybody? Merry Christmas Thor p fans

You call that a “Merry Christmas” font? Bah humbug.

Wow, we are really blessed this year. We get a timeout and a “Merry Christmas”, although it is only in bold italics and not a fancy font like Bitsy was hoping. Kaz is there too, but I’m not sure if that’s Kelly or if it’s one of those lifelike adult dolls that they make. Her expression is just, frozen.

Now whose tree is that in the town gazebo? Is there absolutely no crime in Milford that you can just leave a bunch of presents unattended there?

And speaking of presents, you can open your present from your favorite janitor, a holiday edition of Mopped Up Thorp, right here:

And a Merry Christmas to all my fellow Gil Thorp fans/snarkers!

Is there a subliminal message?

Stephen King is notorious for putting child characters in mortal danger when a jolt of fear is needed against flagging suspense.

This gazebo in the snow is reminiscent of the one that was a murder scene in the novel and film The Dead Zone. And remember the climactic scene of the child in peril?

And here are the usual suspects in Milford’s Missing Minors Mystery.

Here’s the snowy gazebo as constructed for the film. Even has a Christmasy touch to it.

…who is that with Mimi? And Kaz, dumb as a stump, still sporting the Milford mutton chops and Member’s Only jacket? Puhleeze!

This may be the only time we see Gil, Mimi and Kaz again until baseball season. To my fellow snarkers and those of you who don’t identify as fellows, Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight. Or good morning.

In all reality , Alexa , Wish all my fellow snarkers a Merry Christmas , sorry Thorp Kids maybe we’ll see you next Christmas .

Shouldn’t Gil and Mimi have missing grandchildren by now?

I guess it’s official, the kids are gone. Airbrushed out of the photos, the empty spot between the Thorps and Kaz/Miss Moustache is haunting. Why Gil, why?

For all our criticisms of Gil Thorp, at least the Grinch hasn’t stolen Milford. A guy told me this week his girlfriend (who works for an Ivy League school) told him that he can’t say Merry Christmas because it is offensive. It is only offensive to totalitarian social justice snowflakes. All season I’ve been saying Merry Christmas and the vast majority of the time I get, “uh…yeah…uh, happy holidays.” Kudos to Gil Thorp and Merry Christmas everyone!

Where is GilPa’s right hand?

A hearty backslap for Neal & Rod for the Merry Christmas panel. Wishing all GT snarkers Yuletide time with family and friends.

Merry Christmas and why can’t the women in this strip ever look the same from day to day?

May each of you find ‘a major award’ lamp under your tree this morning.

Merry Christmas everyone. For a preventative measure against holiday burglars, I have left a young kid at my home, alone, to set up booby traps for anyone who tries to break in

Apparently, we only have four friends in Milford. While here our numbers reach double digits. Merry Christmas to all, or for Ellis awl.

Good to see Kelly taking time off from tapping some keys to wish us Merry Christmas. And Happy Hanukkah to the Jews of Milford, if there are any.

Just a quick timeout to say Merry Christmas from the bootleg athletic gear factory. Today we get special holiday gruel cooked with a meat bone! Oh please let me be one of the lucky ones to get a piece of gristle!

May a fresh loofah appear in each of your stockings, fellow snarkers, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, fellow Thorpsters!
