Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 26, 2015

(snorts, rolls over, adjusts blanket … adjusts pillow … zzzzzz …)

Four high school kids bring down the whole corrupt system.

Good to see that Poopscoop is on the job.

Who’s the most boring character ever? #GottaBeTru(e)These boys are in cahoots!

Tru’s evil plan appears to be working. Once everyone else commits, he won’t have any press conference competition. Dad will be pleased.

Also his hair looks to be growing at an alarming rate. Has he really spent the summer trying to eat his way into a pay of 36D’s to become the next Kaitlyn Jenner? He, she, it would become the first Division 1 transgender QB! Rubin and Whigham, being all topical. And we all thought this story was (Trust me, is.) going nowhere.

Wow, Two high school kids not holding press conferences. I bet tomorrow’s Poopscoop.com headline will be “ESPN files for Chapter 11”.

Yesterday, True looked husky presumably at The Bucket. Thanks to that Slim Fast shake and a sensible burger meal, he looks trimmer today. Where did Rappin’ Rodney say he planned to pursue a degree? If he Truly desires to work on his brand….Ivy League.

I remember when I was young and had my summers off from school. We used to have two old ladies in the neighborhood that would get together for morning coffee and sit on their porch for most of the morning and not do anything. Some of us kids used to look at them and think they don’t do very much, at the same time we weren’t doing anything either. Kind of reminds of reading the Gil ThorP strip sometimes.

I think that really was a coffin Monday and this story line should have been put to rest in it. But with football season starting in a few more months we have at least until about 2020 for Tru(E) to commit, then go away to school and ride off into the Gil Thorp sunset forever like the kids did.

In all reality, Rodney and Sedrick signings have created a panic amongest blue chippers and they are all comiting. ESPN broke into the LL World Series game and attributed this to the Chinese financial collapse . Its too late for True no rides are left..

So I guess I was wrong about them putting out fake commitment announcements. Instead it is something much less interesting. And speaking of interesting, today’s Mopped Up Thorp, as usual, is much more interesting than the real thing.

I should be committed for reading this strip.

I think Tru is really Tom Terrific from Captain Kangaroo and he’s trying to stop Crabby Appleton from… No, even that isn’t better. But the theme song: “I’m Tru Teriffic, greatest hero ever. I can be what I want to be and if you want to see, follow, just follow me…”

Tru needs to enroll and play football at Colorado School of Mines!

What’s that odd-shaped thing on the ground near True’s right knee?

I love non-posting Bitsy.

Rey’s right we’ve made over twenty posts and no one cares
