Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 02, 2023

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.

Think about it, and then ask yourself, do you live here, in this country, in this world, or do you live, instead ……. in Milford High School — in The Twilight Zone?

Yesterday the monster was identified as a vampire dog. He doesn’t appear very doggish today.

Oh man, what’s MopMan gonna do with this one?

Wtf?

Synchronous artificially induced states of minds at work?

Was there a point to doing this?

Whigs dream of doing fantasy/ marvel- type comics is turning into reality

…and I liked Jami and Keri better when they were in the sweat shop

Thank God….all that hot D&D action had me ready to fall off the edge of my seat.

Please, end the writers’ strike!

Actually it’s kind of interesting, you NEVER KNOW what’s going to appear each day!!

Remember when Mimi reminded Gil Jami didn’t have many friends? Journey to the center of the mind of a twelve year old. Years ago when Jami was this age, he played little league baseball and Gil coached the team. What to call the devilish ghoul in P3? Nubbins?

Somebody dropped some really bad acid, man.

Are the fingers supposed to be in the bag? And if the other guy severed them, how did Jami get them? So many questions.

meanwhile at the museum

Whigham missed a prime opportunity to draw a whole heap of big, bloody, severed fingers today. That would have skyrocketed readership to new heights.

Jamie waiting all month to appear and just gets two cameos and no dialogue

Okay, the GT bus officially just crossed the median, ran across the rumble strips and headed over the cliff.

Visiting Milford, OH did good work last night defeating host Loveland 52-34 to move to 3-0 on the season and 2-0 in the Valley (aka Eastern Cincinnati Conference) to maintain a four way share of first place. Having played their first three games on the road, Milford will now play five of their final seven regular season games at home. Milford remains one of two undefeated teams in Division 1, region 4, setting them up for a prime computer points ranking for post-season playoff seeding. Note: no fingers were severed during last night’s game or in the compiling of this report as we end this session.

Vito From Goshen had the over/under for severed fingers at 7 and 1/2 on The Big Board. Next Week : prop bets on football games actually played, number of foreign stars, felony arrests, sloppy joe servings!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I am now officially the coolest person in this strip! Hopefully this goes on for a month!

If only this is where we ended this writer’s session with the strip.

I like the red guy. I think he should become a regular. And speaking of regular, I hope you’re a regular reader of Mopped Up Thorp.

Remember when this week would start a little thing we called “football season.” Good times.

After this Gil Thorp is going to quit the strip.

THE POWER OF GIL COMPELS YOU!!!!!!!!!!

This strip just gets worse and worse. It’s not even fun to mock any more.

Episode 31 of Milford After Dark is now online.
