Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 20, 2015

You make me laugh Tru. You got an extra star because I’m a 5 star State Champion Coach.

When I first read Tru’s eyebrow, I thought it said “Dating process.” In the case of these two lovebirds, it appears dating and recruiting are one and the same.

And when I was 16 I know for sure I wouldn’t be staring into Gil’s eyes but checking out the waitress. Hell, close to 50 years later, I’d still be checking out the waitress.

GIl: You know what’s even weirder Tru? You call all the plays and I still get paid to coach!

That waitress is so Milford hot even the burger is smiling.

Two State Champs commiserating in a diner we’ve never seen. Gotta love True’s surfer dude persona and the “why me?”

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any boringer. Obviously Tru(e)’s ranking went up because he won a state title without any coaching staff.

Wait. Milford won the state title??

For anyone who has ever wanted Gil’s head on a platter: You finally got your wish in P2.

Three Star. Four Star. I’m giving this plot Zero Stars.

And what happened to the straw that was in True’s drink in P1? Did the waitress pick it up as she passed and stick it in the drink she’s about to serve?

If True feels undeserving of the increased respect he’s getting, can you imagine how Gil feels?

I think we’re being punished for complaining about the boring baseball season story. So they’re trying to make the summer even more boring. And succeeding! And speaking of succeeding, I think I succeeded in making today’s Mopped Up Thorp worth your while.

Oh yeah, another “One Hand Out” courtesy of P3. That brings that total up to 20 for the year.

That’s a star for making your bed, a star for brushing your teeth, a star for putting your dishes in the sink, and the fourth star is because the rabbit didn’t die. C’mon Tru, you should have learned the system before kindergarten.

Wait, Milford finally won a state title and I missed it?
