Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 11, 2021

“All” = all minus one, anyway.

Zane goes to the same barber as Boris Johnson. Mimi thinks it’s important to model her manicure whenever talking to players and their parents.

Mimi no longer looks 20 years younger than Gill.

P3 Dil GilPa beat her right hand with a spoon? Another Kumbaya moment or as the great Rodney King said..“Can’t we all just get along”

“Mr.” Thorp ???? I guess Mimi wears the “Coach” in the family

P1 Zane(y) Good luck

Gee coach, don’t you say that to all of us all the time at practices and games – when you bother to show up?

P2 The Burrito bitterness machine is is overdrive with Katy spewing the family venom at Mimi, did she ask Katy about playing college ball or something?

P3 Mimi’s cat claws come out as she gets ready to gouge Katy’s eyes out after her smarmy comment

“It’s about team, not us or them!” Mimi hisses

“Yeah, well have you read the locker room lately, ummmm coach?” Katy smartly retorts

The tension and psychological drama is just oozing from the walls of the debate…errrrr…interview hall

In all reality Katy , Talk to the Hand you snotty little B#TCH !

P1, Insane Zane is more crosseyed than Shaq. No wonder he has trouble throwing strikes.

P2, (Irasc)Able is ready for his big moment of glory.

P3, It’s Friday and there’s only one more day this week for some giant hand panels. Mimi’s got some fat sausage fingers, doesn’t she?

P2.5- Why yes Katy, you inquisitive little twit. With Marjie and Pedro, we can’t tell whose coming or going.

Poll time for Panel 3! A: No. I’m here to prove that no nail job can overcome the look of really ugly hands. B: Gil and I dropped Keri and Jamie off at the library 14 years ago and we decided it was time to pick them up. C: We always come to library board meetings. Doesn’t everyone?

A. or D – …Brito….I am here…..to make you an offer…..you can’t refuse….

P1 – Based on all the empty chairs behind Zane, this meeting is looking a lot more realistic. The only people who came to watch this fiasco are Zane’s mom, Mrs. Burrito and Katy, and Gil and Mimi.

P2 – Cute how Katy thinks anybody really gives a damn who gets put on the Library Board.

P3 – I don’t understand Mimi’s hands. Is she showing off her new nail polish? If she had painted GO LIBRARY! on her nails, it would make sense.

P4 – Gil proves who they’re rooting for as he walks by carrying a LIBRARY! pennant and a LIBRARY! baseball cap.

And speaking of rooting, I know everybody is rooting for today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P3 shows us that the dispute we saw earlier this week ended with CK’s smashing Mimi’s right hand with a bat.

Zane looks ready to piss himself over joining the library board? What’s the kid gonna do when something important is required from him at some point in his life..

P 3: “….no….he just thinks that Abel here is a dork and that you are a worthless little b***h….I only came over here to tell you that…good luck…..”

A house divided over a Library Board seat? I would never lose my man over something so trivial!!

Panel #2- Katy has gone totally overboard. Which member of the softball team will snatch up Zane now that Katy dumped him. And why haven’t we seen that side-story added to this interminable story arc

The library in Milford is third place at best in the Valley.

Damn, Zane, show me a little confidence. You look like you’re getting off the bus at state prison.

I think Madge had Mimi soak her left hand in Palmolive but not her right, which is swollen and rough by comparison.

P 3.5: “…see….Mr. Thorp has his fur coat, felt fedora, and a team library pennant….”

I know it’s hard to believe today, but the summer story arc will actually be dumber than this one.

The way the strip should have been:
