For those in the Connecticut area:

Gil Thorp, popularly regarded as an “always trying to do the right thing” kind of guy, has been known throughout the area, and beyond, for more than half a century. And now, fans of the “Milford High coach” and those who would like to get acquainted will have an opportunity to do so this weekend, when a special exhibit featuring the comic strip character and his creator, Jack Berrill, will be presented at Pomperaug Woods in Southbury.

The retrospective, which is being mounted by his widow, Veronica Berrill, is “a last look” at the “Gil Thorp” collection, which will soon have a permanent home at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum and Library at Ohio State University.
