Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 21, 2018

Panel 1: “Let’s knock off 20 strokes. No one will notice.”Panel 2: Surprised looks with one exploding eye and for the first time (?), exploding LIPS!Panel 3: Being a person who wants honesty=sore loser??? What has our world come to?

P3 “Yeah but they obviously did a crash course (so to speak) on their short games. Suck it up and work on yours!!!” I have football practice coming up in about a month and a half from now and can’t help you."

In all reality , Quit your whining , you’re both poor sports . Go over there and shake hands with the Qualifiers . Let’s get your Participation Trophies and get back to Milford . The readers wanted a country club based story they got it .Gee, you’re right Mr Thorp , good luck with football , hope parent worries about brain injuries don’t hamper your ability to field a team . Thanks .

if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying

P4- Stiff upper lip Lads. A wise Judge once told me, you’ll get nothing and like it. And a former wrestler turned actor turned Governor once quipped, “Win if you must, lose if you have to, but cheat at all times.” How ’bout a Fresca?

P1, Posting the IQ scores of the Pine Ridge and Blackthorn kids, now that’s payback! Nicely done, Gil.

P2, Why is my huge upper lip so dark?

P3, Nobody knows more about being in his 90’s than Gil so you guys have come to the right place.

Not much golfing talent in the Valley, it appears.

Well maybe they studied the course online too. That always improves your game.

So Tony and Wilson (“Tony Wilson” sounds like a good name for a golfer, doesn’t it?) get bumped from the Valley Juniors. Good way to cut a story arc short, for the end of summer! Now, on to football, where Gil’s next coaching venture won’t take him to the playdowns, either.

…Blackthorne and Pine Ridge…collusion!

P3 – Meanwhile, one of those autonomous golf carts creeps by, looking for that snarky Mr Reality. Suddenly, it spots him standing by the golf range. Its accelerator goes to the floor, suddenly the governor is off and it tears off at an alarming rate of speed…

I have played golf for a lot of years and average about 90. I have never had a round of 75. Ah Youth

I hope those cheaters don’t have some moment of conscience and confess, only to take home a little trophy instead of the big one. I want Kaz to come in with the Loofah of Shame and find out who was behind the rigged game. Vito from Goshen had many dimes on TonyWilson, and, you know, he don’t like to lose.

Too bad they each have two arms; Gil can only get someone into the 70’s if they golf with one arm.

P1 – Why are they carbon copying numbers? Doesn’t make sense.

What happens in the Juniors tournament when they are paired with other golfers and shoot in the 90’s?

awkward kissing moment in P2.

Where has Steve Boone been?

P2: Isn’t it too soon for the tournament to give away Tony and Wilson bobbleheads?
