Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 20, 2021

R & W have come up with some pretty lame story arcs, this one is right up there. After following GilPa since its inception I am finally ready to call it a day…I way too old for this total nonsense

P4: Feel free to start around 2:15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiWW5VeKH94

AHHHH,OH MY EYES , I’M BLIND ! In all reality , you used a Tazzer Mag Lite on him ,you idiot . Sorry my bad.

Huh? I seriously thought yesterday was a joke

So Trev pretends to be hypnotized? 1 idiot watching a utube video on hypnotism figures that he can hypnotize someone? This story arc is now jumping the shark

Stupid is as stupid does. Hang in there Bucky, it can’t get any worse (just kidding). Will Tevin awaken as a peacock?

Yeah those pen lights are so rare. Usually you have to get them from a dealer on the street corner.

What? Too cheap to illustrate a pocket watch as the stimulus prop Mr. Whigham?

He’s doing this voluntarily and his biggest question is where the penlight came from?

(Also, I mentioned him clucking like a chicken at the 50-yard line 2 days ago)

Um, Where’d you find the loofah? I think I hear my mom calling me for dinner…

I was hoping we’d see The Man they call Reveen, but this will have to do.

Much like R&W, I got nuthin’. Except the obvious.

I’m getting sleeeepy… see? It’s working

As Tevin wakes up clucking like a chicken with his hands clutched tightly around his throat as his life ebbs away, Guts proclaims, “see, I told you you’re a choker!”

Story arc as follows: something goes wrong, he ends up hypnotized into being a serial killer, and wipes out the entire town of Milford, (except for the Thorpe kids), ends up with a Netflix TV series that runs for 10 seasons.

I get it now, the “fans” here are just pretending to wallow in misery!

Meanwhile, K has found inner peace and announces she’ll be moving to Tibet after graduation. Next storyline will involve Black magic and ghosts of Halloween Past, Present and Future. We’ll all learn a valuable lesson after we stop vomiting.

Dear R&W, That is not a pen lite. That is a mini-mag lite rip off. Pen Lites look like pens. I think that’s how they got that name. Your friend, Twainreader.

P1 – Okay, one bonus point for the joke about being turned into a chicken, even though it’s kind of a cliché.

P2 – But minus one point for the totally ridiculous threat of, “You’ll be stew.” Who the hell has ever said that?

P3 – And minus another point for wasting a panel having him ask where he got the penlight. Really, that is such an important thing to consider?

And speaking of points, you get bonus points for reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Boyd learned a lot from the Hardy Boys Detective Handbook, so he always carries a penlight and some matches in a waterproof container.

The Hypnosis Store in the mall

Hmmm…I must be the weird exception, I’m kind of attracted to the stupid lame story arcs

If some of you decide to leave, at least check out Mopped Up Thorp daily, I’d quit last summer when they had that weird baseball game. Valley Modified at Milford. That dragged out to long. Best wishes to all of you.

Blinded by the light!
