Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 09, 2013

Gil, you probably shouldn’t be playing gerontologist. Not only that, but in the third panel you look decidedly thick around the middle. What did Bud serve you, anyway?

Panel # 2, is Gil changing into Robert De Niro?

“I owe you one.” isn’t always a good thing.

Gil has a plan, but even he knows it’s bad.

If Rubin has a plan, it’s not obvious.

Of course Gil doesn’t know what he’s doin? Does he ever??!!

You shouldn’t mix athletic events and pro wrestling in the same strip.

So, Hairy did let Gil pin him those years ago. Next – Gil piledriver victim, wearing neck brace through BB season.

Wow, apparently Subwich isn’t as healthy as Subway. All those subs have taken their toll on Gil’s gut.

Any chance they’ll get the two punks who started this storyline on the undercard?

From Wrestling Observer: —Best wishes to Harley Race this week. Race, 70, suffered a dislocated hip in a fall. The hip wasn’t broken, but it had to be reset and he’s in a lot of pain.

Most of the matches I saw at the good old Sportatorium were more believable than this.

This is by far some of the worst comic strip art work ever. Whatever happened to the old days when it was crisp and detailed? I love this strip and it’s why I’m saying this. This strip deserves better art work.

Please, Molly Kinsella vs. Coach Glory as the main event in the mud pit with Mimi as referee. Please?

What is he eating in P3? It looks like he’s halfway through eating a ukelele!

Cup o’ Joe I would say. Must have an ergonomic handle.

Molly’s too busy with the U.S. Women’s Rugby team.

Hoe does Gil get all of this time off from Milford CC? Apparently, he is just dumping the whole youth program on a one-armed guy who just started playing last year. The membership must be pissed….

I think I’ve had about enough of this story line to last and think I’ll check out of the daily reading until January or February when the fall football practices begin.
