Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 16, 2014

Who is talking in the first panel, Gil and Kaz? And how did Gil find out Lucky’s love life is out of control?

Uh, Gil, you’re leaning in a little too close there, and combined with what you’re saying, you could have a harassment claim on your hands.

You ever been in a Turkish prison, Lucky? How about the teachers’ showers?

Obviously Gil doesn’t realize that Lucky attempted to “Make his own little Lucky” with Amy already. She said no, hence he dropped her at prom. That’s the part of the plot we were not privy to,but which we were supposed to infer.

In P2 Lucky seems to have morphed into Race Bannon (again) while Gil talks out of his ass (again).

Gil and Lucky smoking a couple packs each during this discussion. In P2 those are not weather-related clouds, but smoke clouds.

Gil{ “I try not to get involved in kids love lives.” Mainly because MY KIDS are a faded memory and I enjoy wearing tights as Beau Dandy.

I think Gil should be having a different conversation with Lucky. “Luck is just another four letter word, Lucky. I like to use it in place of another four letter word to sometimes express my disappointment with my team. For example, I could say that you ‘lucked’ up our chance for a perfect game. Or, you ‘lucked’ up our chances to make playdowns. You even ‘lucked’ up my chance to have a winning season, which I haven’t done in years, and now you’re ‘lucking’ up my storyline, which is keeping me off the fairways at the Milford Country Club. Just quit being such a ‘luck’ up at life, Lucky. Now, don’t you feel better after our little chat?”

Ahh…, another life lesson for me to build my future with. I am the lucky one! Thank you Gilfather.

Mean Gil (or me): “Oh, luck schmuck. Quit whining & get out there and take some swings!”

Looks like Lucky is wearing a t-shirt from the Copyright Cafe, the site of his first date with Amy.

In all reality. Gil should bee worrying about the open sore on his cheek but since he s not Gil says to Lucky, Your problems are nothing that hot soapy shower with me won t fix.

Ever hear the expression “You’re a blithering idiot?” Or “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in my life?”

P-2 “and Amy doesn’t want it…” It isn’t baseball he’s having trouble with, it’s “Blueballs”. Here’s a tissue, go in the clubhouse between innings.

One can only hope that MUT has the gratuitous shower reference that we love! C’mon, Luhm, get to it!

And by the way, the showers at Milford CC are not unlike the ancient Palestra!

It was inevitable that the Gilchaplain would intervene to help “fix” this problem.

I thought in P2 Gil and Lucky were going to break out in Summer Nights
