Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 25, 2019

So a lawyer or judge driving the car? Perry Mason, perhaps.

Just what does Mimi do during the summer to supplement the Thorps’ income from Milford High? She laughs at Gil’s easy gig, but we never see her lifting a finger.

Salt Mine? MCC’s new sand trap on hole 13. First playing partner of the summer will be Fred Rutherford.

Omigod, the suspense! Where can this summer plotline go, with this mysterious Audi driven by a lawyer or judge? Nowhere interesting, you can bet on that!

P1, So, are these the latest Milford Mensa members that are going to drive to Hawaii?

P2, Or are these the golf cheaters from last year coming back for more?

P3, You poor, poor pitiful excuse for a man.

In all reality , P2 is that a chalk outline of my body drawn on the windshield of the car ? You might want to get in washed off. Kaz is working as a Squeeze Guy by the railroad crossing on Main Street in Milford , try him ?

I’ve got it! They were driving to the foster parent’s house where the Thorpe children now live; visitation rights confirmed by the lawyer who made the arrangements! Maybe we will see them on the next visit!

Will someone please explain what is going on here? I read this strip every day and am clueless about this arc,

All the speculation of whose in the knockoff Audi? It’s Summertime. Time for a Milford Masterpiece Theatre cast member from yesteryear to boomerang back to Milford. Knox Foley?

Who were they visiting with? Are these people Gil’s or Mimi’s parents? Maybe this is where the Thorpe kids are living?

Hmm. Some young woman in a couple meeting the young man’s parents, with said young man being a kind of jerk (and also a lawyer or law student). Could be Knox Foley, though he would not be out of law school and probably not able to afford an Audi, unless it is parent-provided. Where is the brief road trip to?

P3: That’s what I hear when I tell people that I read GT

LEEEE! Drive safeLEY!

So!!! Gil does care about his kids. We thought they were in a sweat shop, but apparently they’re making a living in mining. Good for them, wise investment potential, everyone needs salt.

I’m beginning to wonder if there are two people inside, or if the new character is the car itself that has a conversation with itself aloud.

That’s not an Audi! It’s a GCCD

P1- Isn’t that Wildcat Maris and his trophy wife on the porch, perhaps daughter from first marriage in the Audi with her fiancee? They’re on their way to the Poconos for a weekend?

“back to the salt mine…after I eat some of this steaming mush, and, are those little baby seals in that bowl, or what?”

The Judge is the newest member of Milford CC and is destined to bump heads with Gil.

In a Spanish Inquisition kind of way.

Gil doesn’t finish his bowl of gruel while Mimi sips her bowl of coffee. And speaking of finishing, it won’t take you long to finish today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Join the crowd. God, how I miss the old days!

It is Mr. and Mrs. TCAR on their way to the mountains for his annual train rides.

why does a car have a scales of justice emblem on the front?
