Mary Lou: So, you plan to hang around here like some ghost for the time being?
Gus: Well, that may be a moot point.
Gus: I have what I think is a pretty good offer on the property!
Mary Lou: Whoa, Pop! This is great!
Gus: That's your share.

Well, at least, he finally talked to MaryLu first. Wonder if he was bothered by Gene not coming so he could discuss it with him first.

Gus speaks as an oracle. The “moot point” is that Gus knows his days are numbered, which is why he’s selling,and he may wind up being an actual ghost. Is it only me, or does Gus look older in today’s strip than even yesterday’s?

They just need to take a little time off, a few months to get out of working like a dog cycle, and then start making plans..If they want to stay in the food business, fine, but flush this job out of their system.

The only way to make money in the quality food restaurant business – sell the location to some chain with a cookie-cutter menu.

Yeah, I thought he had already sold and that the buyers were buying for the land because it was prime beach-front property.

Pretty sharp of Jimmy J not to tell us an exact amount so we all can be pleased thinking the amount is what we would be pleased to get. Makes the strip timeless.

@Irish GoshenAre you implying the JJ is giving us a strip tease?

He didn’t look great— must have fathered Mary Lou when he was at least 45?— but I believe he’s also supposed to still be alive in current strips in 2020. So with the benefit of hindsight, I guess he wasn’t on his last legs in the 10/11/2014 strip.

Gus certainly looks out for his daughter.
