Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 24, 2018

“Your kids and four others.” There were eight cheaters, so there were two other Milford kids Gil showed absolutely no interest in. They’re the ones who should be proud of themselves.

Its not like the Thorps to ignore two kids and make you think they’re not even there.

Kdizzle, how wrong can you get? Gil and Mimi (and all who have written the strip since) have two kids they TOTALLY ignore, and they are their own children! …to be only seen on milk cartons. ;)

P1, They just weren’t great enough.

P2, Thing couldn’t be more proud.

P3, Hey, who stole the pool?

Ah Mimi, how do you “just add” them in a tournament that had a qualifying round? Is Gil the Commissioner.

It’s Friday, and I am hoping I was right in thinking this sappy story line would be over today. On to football-spoiler alert…there will be a concussion story line during the season.

In all reality , Why don’t you just close your pie hole Mimi and enjoy your lemonade !

For Pete’s sake Mimi, it was a $12/hr job to tide us over till football, and keep me from bugging Pedro when he worked on the “pool”. And you want me to make a big stink over a couple of nerds? I’ve got bigger fish to fry, like chasing a 2nd place finish in the Valley conference.

What happened to the cheaters from Plum Hollow?

“Why not add 3 or 4 wins to the football team’s record and you won’t finish last in the Valley? You think it’s going to be any better this year? You’ve got Steve Boone’s one-armed son as your quarterback!”

P3- As Mimi babbles on about righteous virtue, GilPa knows it’s only a matter of time before his little friend Mickey Finn will provide the knockout punch in Mimi’s wine. Ahhh. Peace, quiet and Countrytime Lemonade on the veranda.

I took some chicken legs out to be grilled tonight, but I’m now craving some Hamburger Helper and lemonade for some reason.

So that’s it? If so, that was really a huge waste of time, even for this strip.

…that’s it? Three years of begging for a return to Milford CC and I get one day of John Jawor and this lousy story? No Steve Boone? No Kenny Lark? No Doc Gattuso?

Mimi! Lemonade! Finally! But no bikini. Wait, she’s not drinking lemonade, she’s hitting the hard stuff. Guess that happens living with Gil.

Old Soupy Sales bit: “Ursula Andres and lemonade, Ursula Andres and lemonade, Ursula Andres and lemonade!” Hey, why the lemonade? “I’m thirsty, too!”

P-3: Mimi thinks the entire story is a Math problem.

Let’s not just add them but give them a trophy too while were at it…spoken like a true snowflake

Caption for the doofus on the left in panel two: “My what big hands you have Gil Pa!”

Because the story arc would be over already, and we would have no drama! ( How long you been in the comics, now?)

Gil’s trying to Make Golf Great Again.

This whole strip exists so they can draw hands everyday. The stories don’t mean anything.

P2 – Beanie Boy looks stunned! “How the hell did Gil suddenly grow to be 10 feet tall?”

Well, what’d we learn Gil? Cheaters win;, you keep shrugging your shoulders ; and you are the only one to realize nobody gives a flip about golf. We see you gazing into the future…..another State Champion season for the legend of me starts soon.
