How heartwarming

Gil Thorp, 2/23/06

See, now this is why I never wanted to play sports in high school. To catch up those of who don’t follow the Thorpmeisters: Ted Pearse (he of the Mary Tyler Moore ‘do) has just this week had his big secret revealed in a very public fashion by the legendarily vile Marty Moon. It seems that his laid back “man of mystery” demeanor covered up the fact that he lives in a homeless shelter with his out-of-work mom. He kept mum because he was terrified that his chums would reject him if they found out about his hobo status; this is the second time in as many days that he’s used that “being homeless isn’t contagious” line. But in this heartwarming strip, his teammates show their love for and acceptance of him by this little stunt — it’s like when a child goes through chemo and his classmates all shave their heads in solidarity — and Ted’s so happy that he looks like Jimmy Stewart at the end of It’s a Wonderful Life.

Except that they’re showing their love and acceptance by playing to his worst fears and pretending that homelessness is contagious. It’s as if that little kid’s classmates didn’t shave their heads, but instead covered themselves with ghoulish makeup and held up signs that read YOU HAVE CANCER AND YOU’RE GOING TO DIE. I mean, Jesus, if this is how they treat their friends, I wonder what they do to people they don’t like. Presumably the wet towels will come out in a minute and the savage ass-whippings will commence. All in good fun, of course.

Ted’s homelessness was correctly predicted weeks ago in the by some smarty in the comments of this very blog, who should step forth and take a bow. One thing I should note about Ted is his collection of deeply groovy retro shirts. Presumably he’s been able to get these at the thrift stores to which his poverty condemns him because mega-squaresville Milford is utterly lacking in the sort of slumming, underemployed hipsters who would snatch them up in the big city.

2nd panel.
“Hey Ted.. What’s New?” *rubber glove snap*
“Bend over big boy”

Thats how it should have gone, but the damn comic censors killed the third panel in rewrite.

Homelessness isn’t contagious, but stupidity is. So Ted should be happy he has that added protection from catching it from his buddies.

Maybe he can get a job over at Target.

Ted morphs from a teen girl in the first panel to a middle-aged man in that second panel and then to his groovy Johnny Bravo self in the third. Quite a chameleon.

Oh, and today’s Rex is practically screaming gay sex. Gives a whole to meaning to hole in one.

#6, Mooselet, I don’t think he looks like a teen girl so much as he looks like one of those sad middle-aged cross-dressers… You know: nothing so flamboyant as a drag queen, just a boring 40-something guy trying in vain to look “pretty”.

Seriously, though, Josh, that IS how teenage boys would go about showing solidarity. Not that I read Gil Thorp or anything, so I may be missing all sorts of nuance (did I just use “nuance” and “Gil Thorp” in the same sentence?), but I’d say he’s more or less on target this time.

Buzzcuts and mop tops that’s all the barbers in Gil Thorpe’s home town know how to cut.

To be black and live in the early 90s must’ve been a tough row to hoe.

“Buzz cut it is!”

Ted’s ‘do has morphed from the casual rebelliousness of a young Jim Morrison when we first met him to the tight Mary Tyler Moore/Marlo Thomas flip that we have seen this week. Maybe next he’ll be sporting some Farrah blow-dried curls. Or a Dorothy Hamill wedge.

Seeing the hateful Lexi get a much-deserved smackdown from Token Asian Chick in today’s (DT)GT gives me great pleasure. But I do want to know what kind of budget that school district has to provide cushy high-backed chairs for the cafeteria. Or is the scene set in the special jocks and cheerleaders dining/conference room?

I’ve never seen this strip before, so I just assumed this was a cross-dresser with some sort of avian flu or something. The glove snapping in panel two is a bit unsettling, and that shirt makes me really happy this strip isn’t in color.

In the FOOBiverse, I think the theme for the weekend is going to be “Lizardbreath gets Laid,” though their flirty tango today looks more like she’s trying to wriggle out of his grip. Watch out, Liz, he has handcuffs! Rrowwrrr.

I’m guessing Josh is absolutely right – slumming, underemployed hipsters are scarcer in Milford than good Ethiopian restaurants.

That shirt is a beautiful thing, or at least would be a beautiful thing if drawn by an actual artist – it’s definitely made out of a slick material called quiana, popular in men’s shirts circa 1978. I’m ashamed to say that I had several, as well as a somewhat similar, if less MTM-ish, haircut. My brother’s shirts and haircut were worse than mine.

Perhaps that explains the homelessness – Ted and his mom have been cast forward in time from a suburb in the late ’70s, to whenever “now” is in Milford, and – cut off from their family and friends, and saddled with an implausible time travel story – have been compelled to survive on such wits as they have. I feel badly for the time travelers, and you should, too.

“Except sleep over at your place” takes us that extra step. You didn’t “get” the masks? You thought the rubber gloves were too subtle?? Well, You Are Homeless. We Can’t Sleep At Your Place Because You Don’t Have A Place.

This strip plainly pushed the envelope of our artist’s drawing skills. The second panel, with the foreground zombie jock lurching into the frame on the left — presumably he’s after fresh brains — must’ve taken up a full working day. And whose neat mask tying job are we admiring from behind in panel 3? That’s a fine set of ears. How far is Ted’s neck turned over his shoulder in the first panel? Looking at the composition, does it seem like someone’s afraid of drawing hands?

But in Foobtown, a handsome cop couldn’t possibly be a creepy obsessed stalker. Only creepy middle-aged men are like that…and even then, with all the visual markers in plain sight, Liz is still too stupid to pick up on them.

Me, I thought for weeks that Ted’s family was going to be in the witness protection program, and the big conflict was that he wasn’t supposed to be drawing attention to himself.

In my local paper, MW is printed right below RMMD, so seeing the parallels in the current strips is almost unavoidable.
Today’s Mary Worth dialogue becomes much more Rex Morgan-ish if we use some “Curtis” style quotation marks:

After Jane and Polly’s “conversation”…

Jane: I am a bit down right now…thanks for “listening”!

Polly: My pleasure! I knew your “marriage” had ended, but I knew nothing about your lawsuit.

These two are obviouly headed for a little “golfing”.

Shhh… it’s the very rare courtship dance of the Canadian Foob.
Notice how each panel either mimics a specific sex act, part of their passionate tango.
Yet at the end, Lizzy is STILL turning him down, just like she did that other guy a few months back.
Lizzy thinks her puss-ay is made of gold. It’s not.
If she’s that uptight, Paul’s looking at a lifetime of missionary, once a week, and only if you shower before AND after sex and don’t make a lot of noise.
the pun at the end is horrible.

Congrats to Joeyjoejoe – we’re all proud of you.

(sigh)…Once again, I feel I have to point out the second, subtle, subconscious layer of a strip to reveal its inner brilliance to the untrained eyes of my fellow posters. I will do this point by point and maybe, just maybe we can step back and bask in the glow of “Gil Thorp” for a little bit and reflect.

1. First panel: We see the word “Lock” on the door. This could be a reference to Ted’s flowing locks, or a suggestive message to have lox with bagels, the bagels clearly spread all over Ted’s shirt. How many times have you been reading the morning paper with your same old cereal and thought, “Boy, I wish I had an idea for something different at breakfast.” Well look, in one panel “Gil Thorp” could have changed your routine lemming life.

2. Now the “bagels” on Ted’s shirt have an entirely new meaning, as his “friends” circle him. These bagels are now circles, as in his friends have circled him by making a circle around him in a circular pattern. When “Gil Thorp” is on, it’s on folks.

3. Third panel: Now take the “Ro” we see in panel one and combine it with the “st” on the jersey and we get “ROST.” And what does “rost” rhyme with people? “LOST.” Ted felt lost. Alone. Different. But now, in his “circle” of “friends” he is “found.”

Pray with me,

Ben

Sex Organ, MD is out of control. That is the gayest dialogue ever. Dr. Troyser Trout seems way too enthusiastic and happy about their golf date. How long can Rex continue living a lie with June and the downs syndrome toddler? I suppose the marriage is good for his career but it’s to the point now where he may just come out after the hole in one twosome on the greens. Rex will need to tell Troy about his Pusboy fling, too.

Jane Hand’s secretary seems way too nosy to not know about the lawsuit.

All I can say about your penetrating analysis, Ben is:

“DEATH TO GIL THORP!”

Well, actual Ol’ Gil is kind of on an upward spiral, compared to some other strips that I won’t mention here. Spiderman comes to mind, but I quit reading it months ago. Or the hot non-action in Mary Worth, which has been a grave disappointment since Rita Begler went off to live happily ever after. And my old fave, Judge Parker, is quietly going from entertainingly ludicrous to pathetic. How sad.

Speaking of sad, I won’t even go into Rex Morgan. Where is Fity Cent Foxworth when you need him?

I’m really getting exciting about the big road-building battle brewing up for the Lost County Planning Commission, though.

Maybe we can let Gil off with a good maiming, for now.

“Open those curtains”.
Which ones? Are we talking about the drapes or Lizzy’s meat curtains?

Judging from yesterday’s strip, and Paul’s postures today, i think we can agree that Paul prefers doggy style. The table would be nice too though.

“Me, I thought for weeks that Tedâ€™s family was going to be in the witness protection program, and the big conflict was that he wasnâ€™t supposed to be drawing attention to himself.”

Not with those shirts, and that hair, and the har for that matter.

I actually thought their prank or whatever you call it was okay. They were trying to make him understand how silly he was for thinking his friends would shun him because he lived in a homeless shelter. With a graphic example no less. Very Afterschool Specialicious.

Who brought the pepto today? All this unnatural love is making me squidgy inside and not in a good way. Especially Lizardbreath’s four day foreplay. Is Bolero playing in the background?

Lizardbreath and DooRight should be drawn as sillhouettes with only IPods and white earphones showing. Their putrid little wango tango dirty dancing is even more disgusting than the IPod commercial.

One might suppose the “think about you 24/7, even when I sleep” remark would raise a red flag for a recent sexual assault victim but after their rough car sex I guess that remark is “fine”.

Seeing Lynn Johnston try to do cute courtship scenes is pretty nauseating first thing in the morning.

“If you’d like to fine me…..that would be just fine.”

Is Lizzie’s jaw dropping because of the utter stupidity of that meaningless pun? (He wants to be fined? Are they roleplaying?)

Or did she just realize that Paul’s the kind of “male escort” who charges for his services?

Well, the Rex and Troy courtship is certainly a lot less cloying than Mountie Paul’s smarmy “Heyy, teacher” moves.

Won’t be Lynn’s first butt-centric strip.)

I predicted Ted’s homelessness back on Jan 7 in the discussion forum. I think his teammates will drop the gloves and masks if Ted promises never to use that “homelessness is not contagious” line ever again.

This will probably not be particularly revelatory to any regular Curmudgeon readers, but the following exercise provides a kind of clarity to the recent discussions of “Gay Sex Morgan, M.D.”
If you take “golf” as a coded term for “(gay) sex” and, thereby, replace every mention of “golf” with “[sex]” over the last three strips, this is the result:
Troy: So â€¦ are you up for a [sex] game, Rex?
Rex: Like I said, I’m the world’s biggest hack!
Troy: [Sex] is a lot like life, Doctor â€¦ the more you do it, the better you get!
Troy: You can’t take [sex] too seriously, Rex â€¦ It’s supposed to be fun!
Rex: All right, Troy, â€¦ you’re on!
Rex: I’ll play! When?
Troy: Tomorrow’s Saturday â€¦ I have a standing tee time at 9AM!
Troy: We’ll meet on the driving range tomorrow morning â€¦ say 8:30!
Rex: Sounds good! I’ll be there.
Troy: And we’ll go out as a twosome!
Troy: We’ll take our time and get to know each other!

Obviously, the cogency breaks down when they start talking about tee times but, otherwise, it all fits.

Kristin, he is right. Lizardbreath really is a Becky-like gig, a roadside ho, if you will. She went down on DooRight in the car after he revealed himself to be an obsessive/compulsive perv stalker who showed up from hundreds of miles away because he had seen her 4×6 glossy. Now she’s dry humping him like there’s no tomorrow. She went up in the chopper and had kinky flight sex with FlyBoy after she already planned to dump him. She is attracted to overly protective pimp type stalkers like DooRight. Calling her a prostitute is quite an accurate description.

Then, of course, reality slips away and I begin to try to figure what year some of these characters are in school. Is Steve a senior? The only one I know for sure is Brent “Rap Dog,” who is a senior. (Maybe that feebly explains how he could possibly act as anyone’s enforcer) And I only know that thanks to a trip through the archives back to the baseball season of 2003, where we met a chunky young shortstop who just couldn’t lose his gut. Does anyone know?

Have I missed some clues? Should I just lie down for a while and forget all about it?
