Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 14, 2014

We haven’t been favored with a single sign of True’s dedication to anything but hanging out in diners.

Hey, Mimi, parents reliving their youth are much more sympathetic than parents who pretend they’ve never had any kids.

Looks like Tru overshot Hawaii and made to the Great Wall of China. Complete with trash cans and street poles.

Wonder when True is going to realize he should be getting ready for the high school football season soon, two weeks to the first game for a lot of states.

PAC-10? I could have sworn it was the PAC-12. I wonder if Utah and Colorado have gotten word of their eviction?

In all reality, in P 1 Gil should let Mimi pass him and in P 2 is it wise to be jogging if you have a medical condition that requires you to wear a Medic Alert like Mimi has ?

As much as overzealous parents live vicariously through their children in this strip, we Thorpalcoholics hang on your every word Mimi.

Mr. Reality is right, let her pass. The view would improve and Gil would have something to visualize. (Hmm, that looks a lot like my DB from back here. Gotta hit the shower soon.)

Gil’s got a little Robert Urich look going on in P1…

P2, Mimi wearing Pedro’s friendship ring on a chain so Gil won’t be suspicious

Tru & Dad don’t seem to be on the same page about anything.

Why is True using crutches if he’s going to put weight on the injured leg? Why am I expecting this strip to make sense?

Mimi has a somewhat erotic look to her in P2.

How in the world does Gil know that Art was injured played JV football? And that he wanted to play in the PAC-10? (Which seems ridiculous, if he was that good he’d be on varsity even as a freshman.) And why is it so important to True that Milford has a lot of kids that play multiple sports? (And again, I really doubt that is so unusual.)Whatever, at least MUT always makes sense.

Huh? Is jogging with your spouse an activity usually associated with children?

Bitsy it’s like trying to make sense out of a 4 year old’s finger painting, save your energy.

Comments and MUT both outstanding today!
