Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 28, 2019

Lots of ‘handy’ work in the art today.

What, does Charlie have multiple personality disorder or something?

“I’m glad you caught that.. and he didn’t.” The perfect Chinese insult!

P4: … and Charlie doesn’t catch it.

P1, That was the only part they could air.

P2, Gil, I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again. . . We do the snarking here, you do the coaching. Capisce? You’ve been warned!

P3, Charlie looks like he’s about 12. Gil’s really recruiting them young this year.

I guess Marty doesn’t read the comments section…

Uh Oh sounds like we got a Football Dad.

Sorry Charlie.

Mark Trail, getting pissed off at people like us! Love it!

P1- That does not look like the back of Thorp Mansion, with that teeny deck. Where is the cabana, pool and Pedro?

P2- Mimi has Chinese eyes from too much Countrytime Lemonade.

P3- Charlie has no chance of catching dear old Dad’s pass Ravenswing because of his right arm craw.

Nice nail polish on the QB.

With Charlie’s physique, I think he would be better consider the video gaming team as opposed to football.

P2: Col. Clink makes his first appearance. Sgt. Schultz to follow as the coach who knows “NNNNNothing!”

BBQ panel and new character in the same day! Moving along quickly. And a Marty insult. Trifecta!

…look at these two “entitled elites” of Milford!

Gil acting like he belongs to Milford CC when he was just “the help”, never wears anything that doesn’t have a logo that he got free, plants some kind of fungi in pots because he is too busy to water a plant! Who the hell does he think he is???

And where has that Jethro Bodine-like intellectual Kaz been?

I like the idea of the entire town of Milford tuning into a radio station to hear Marty Moon’s not-so-exclusive interview with Coach Thorp. I don’t believe it, but I like it.

So is this season’s main focus going to be on Charlie, who’s not good enough to make the starting lineup? He looks rather “special” to me. And speaking of special, tune in to a very special crossover edition of Mopped Up Thorp!

In all reality Dad the only battle for positions are in the locker room showers !

I am proud to have been part of the readers’ campaign to keep Mark Trail in the Washington Post, many years ago. They then ran all the strips we missed. It just would’ve been cruel to never find out if Bubba Tidwell got the best of Mark.
