Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 11, 2015

And … MORE eating! .By golly, these young pups are gonna swell up like zeppelins!.(Okay, so I’m channeling the old ‘Hammurabi’ computer game.)

Is Rey from Kokomo in Indiana or the island in the Beach Boys song?

P3 would be better if the guy on the right — who is he, anyway? — said, “But we’re still gonna give you the business.”

Fist Pump Man family waiting in the background of P1 for something, anything, to happen in this story, just like the rest of us.

The guys are finally outside at least in P3. Will we finally see a football or is it time to turn around and eat again?

In all reality , meanwhile back in Milford Pedro pays his third service call to the Thorp pool causing Gil to ask him why he is always there . Pedro tells Gil " She is very dirty Senor ".

Hey Tru….“what did you do this summer?”Tru….“wandered in circles for 2 months, glad to back in MILFord in this strange outfit!”Larry David

Now we’re talking. Today’s strip is so chock full of excitement that I can barely contain myself while I start working on Mopped-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z

There must be something in the water in Kokomo. Adverse growth spurts, premature male baldness, voracious appetite.

Panel three… With those shirts, these guys resemble a German slap dance trio, wearing lederhosen!

The lederhosen in P3 seems an odd choice for a football camp.

The ‘Three Amigos’ in panel three? Look like they’re about to start that arm crossing thing that Martin etc. did.

Grew four inches! Gil and Kaz are going to need to see this kid in the shower, immediately.

Rey has not yet mastered the art of speaking of himself in the third person. Rey will have to master this skill if Rey is to be a big star.

Here’s something to brighten this gloomy atmosphere. It not only should be Boo’s theme song, it sums up flash in the pan star’s attraction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Z9SmxHupA

Football practice has already started in my part of the world. Shouldn’t Rub-Ham get Tru(e) back to start defense of GIl’s state football title?

Boycott continues. In other news, there was a woman at the dog beach with dogs named “Atticus” and “Scout”. (No “Boo”.)
