Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for November 11, 2022

Apparently Able Burrito has realized his ambition of transforming the library into a profit-making venue. Out with the computers and in with the sound system!

Tiny Desk Concert by the Linda Lindas has already been done by NPR. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=USdiumz1ZFM

To all our Veterans , Thank You for your Service .

So the band has moved up from the nursing home to the library, woohoo. Next stop, the Milford High Gym? Dare to dream

Enough with the Flashbacks already.

Another day without sports after another failed attempt at trying to include sports to remain true to the strip’s roots. Ol’ Hank just does not seem to get it – to write about something you should know about it. Do your research!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this has a point or is relative to a plot I’ve missed it. This seems completely random to me. So glad I read this today.

Quiet? Quiet? We don’t need no stinking quiet!

And the point of this ? This strip is just getting too weird with all the story lines. Who gives a s*** about the Linda Lindas playing in the library?

So THIS is why Keri the Princess had a hard time getting out of bed? Somewhere Joan Jett and the Go-Go’s are laughing their @sses off.

If this is last Tuesday, what day was yesterday when Keri was unable to get out of bed? Wednesday? Thursday? We shouldn’t have to guess.

Are there about 20 kids there? The Linda Linda’s rock!

Look at that, son ‘o Fistpump Man rocking out with the Linda Linda’s, other boys, girls and non-binaries! Fast times at Milford High.

Today’s strip rates an 11 out of 11? I don’t think so. Nigel Tufnel is not impressed.

It’s fun to imagine Ed Sullivan saying “And now, the Linda Lindas!” to the screams of the Keri generation.

If I recall correctly, the band “The Linda Linda’s” went viral with a video of them singing their song “Racist, Sexist Boy” that was shot in a library.

I get chills! It’s sheer poetry. Worthy of a sequel to Dead Poets Society.

Hidden Joke: The L.Ls aren’t stacked, but the books are.

I’m curious what goes on in Rod Whigham’s head when he gets the script from Henry. Is he reading it and thinks WTF? What now? Now I’ve got to draw a band playing in a library? I signed on to do a HS sports strip but he sends me down road arc that doesn’t make any sense. Do they even talk to each other or does he just open an email and shakes his head? Nice touch with the ‘Quiet Please’ sign though.

Wonder who the guitarist is giving the finger to.

What particular time warp is today’s strip from? While it’s not realistic to expect a serial strip to coincide with actual dates, the Halloween strip did set a specific point in time. So, whether Keri was actually going to the concert on the 31st or “last Tuesday”, she was out on either 10/31 or 11/1. Since that night Milford has played at least three games so at a minimum logic would dictate we are in the week of November 21st making the flashback to “last Tuesday” impossible.

There was a ray of hope a couple of days ago because we actually got a sports related strip. Now we get whatever the hell this is supposed to be.

One great influence for the Linda Lindas was the house band at Dick Loudon’s Vermont Bed and Breakfast, the Daryl Daryls

Is there an actual song with those lyrics? If not, there should be.

Coaches Held Hostage: Coach Kaz, Day 31. 31 is the name of a movie directed by Rob Zombie. Here’s a plot summary:

Five carnival workers are kidnapped the night before Halloween and held hostage in a large compound. At the mercy of their captors, they are forced to play a twisted game of life or death called 31. For the next 12 hours, they must fight for their lives against an endless parade of homicidal maniacs.

Hey! Some of us are trying to read!

I hope the Linda Lindas will remember, a racist, sexist boy don’t need them around anyhow. Apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Broom Hilda did the same storyline in 2003.

Nice stache, Keri.

The hell?

this strip sux posterior cheeks , there is no continuity anymore

I love the silent cheering.

Is it a rule that you have to have your eyes closed while attending a Linda Linda’s concert?

Sign Man clearly did not put the lettering on the drum.

Man, you gotta give Mr. Burrito credit for the library. He seemed insane to be railing about unused computers, but look what he’s done. A whole concert venue complete with a mosh pit? The books must be in the black now! My only complaint is the sloppiness of the shelving. And speaking of sloppy, today’s Mopped Up Thorp attempt at changing some song lyrics is rather sloppy too.

This is what is commonly known as Bizzaro World. Someone should explain the definition of continuity to Henry and Rod. Clearly, they have no clue…

So, what happened last Tuesday is why Keri won’t get out of bed??
