Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 11, 2019

Second of all, never say “work” to Coach Thorp.

Hey Eddie Downer the Bulls are on the road half the time too, drink your wine and stfu.

And sheesh, Mr. Ed, they’ll figure it the heck out. Strange though it may seem, quite a few married couples don’t adopt the lifestyles of their parents.

P1, Then it sounds to me like they don’t need a house at all, Mr. Ed.

P2, Mr. Ed must be an optometrist. Why else would he have the top line from an eye chart hanging on his wall?

P3, And with a face like that, too.

My hope is that they are walking out of the strip and we can move on.

In all reality , Look Mr Ed , I mean Ed , Why don’t you shut your face you old fool ! Oh Jaquan, Be Nice , He’s only joking Daddy says Hadley ,

I thought Jaquan plays in the NBA, no such thing as traveling there, so why would he mind?

P1: Ed, deep in his cups, delivers thinly veiled criticism of this union. BTW, where is Mrs. Ed during this discussion?

P2: Jaq rockin’ the Mom jeans, note shiv stuck between his shoulder blades

P3: I’m seeing a little Otis Sistrunk in Jaq

Uhnnuh…uhhh.uhh..huhh….he said ‘master’

Now that the last five days or so have been devoted to to pointing out that they won’t always be together, its time to leave “the Baxendales” and this old goofball and move on to something else

How cute that this strip still thinks travelling is a thing in the NBA.

P1- I’ll tell you whose not traveling Ed. Your Selasky’s Supper Club pal Del “TallyHo” Bader.

P2- t-car, you devil for details. Hadley has a Moroccan mole.

P3- The Don may tap a few keys but, he’s no internet ninja.

P4- Mrs B. in the kitchen scraping and scrubbing the crockpots, wishing she had some help.

What and what? I’m sure he meant pen and paper.

I can’t wait for her new business card with the hyphenated last name

I like how they’re dragging out this “how can you be a couple when you’re both on the road a lot” discussion for a week or two. Especially when it will have absolutely no bearing on the rest of the story once we get to Hadley representing Tiki when he sues the school board. Might take a month, but we’ll get there.

Don’t worry Mr. B., my basketball career will be over soon, just like this story line.

P4: “…plus I gots plenty of bimbos in my contacts for every NBA city, so not to worry, Ed. It won’t be so bad…”

Yes, Skype and Facetime definitely is all someone needs for a healthy relationship. And speaking of healthy, 4 out of 5 doctors agree that the key to a healthy lifestyle is to read each edition of Mopped Up Thorp.

P2: Isn’t she the wit…well, that’s half true.
