Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 30, 2019

… then spend more time with your wife than on Reddit porn threads?

The odd part is dad’s name is actually Robert

P1, Rut Roh, Chet debriefing your stepson might have something to do with why he won’t call you Dad.

P2, Chet has a beard which makes him evil automatically. Can’t wait to find out what’s up with him, besides debriefing his stepson, of course.

P3, Maybe you should spend some time working on that “Dad” thing in the sack there Chet.

In all reality , Another thing Chet, Chance Macy is going to also be the long snapper and kids at school are already calling him Chance the Snapper .

He’s not cussing you out, Chet – roll with it.

Maybe Chet can find out where Gil gets the Gil and Mimi mugs and have one made with Dad on it, that’ll show him.

Take it one step at a time Chet,,, These days Divorce and Marriage are as common as breathing. Kid needs to learn you are there to stay.

Think about how Dick Tracy feels. Even Junior doesn’t call him “Dad”.

P3: Fear not! Give the old “Don’t wait up, I’m going to work late tonight” line and that could still happen in June.

Chet Ballard of Ballard Insurance? Informal Milford School Board Member? CJ thought Chet had too much dexterity in his throwing motion the other day. Chet should take a break from those Lifetime channel marathons.

One of my all-time favorite Chets is Chet ‘the Jet’ Walker from the Chicago Bulls

It looks like R&W have been watching Donna Reed reruns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-vYuV3OmhE

That’s funny…I’ve always wanted to be “Chet”.

Inscrutable

What is that crawling across Charlie’s right shoulder in P2?

P4: “Oh, Don’t sweat it, honey….he just thinks that you don’t have any balls because you rolled over like a pet dog for that geeky lawyer and her boozed-up dad a few weeks ago…be happy that he isn’t calling you something besides your first name instead…”

And I thought the debriefing was to take place in the Milford showers. Gil will be so upset that he missed out.

That’s Chet Ballard Insurance to you, son!

You have to love the switcheroo we pulled on you. The evil guy from summer, who somehow did not know that Tiki was on the football team with his “son,” is going do something to earn being called “Dad” by the end of the season!

P1 – “Yeah, I usually lie and tell everybody I sucked when in reality I was awesome, because, I don’t know, I hate for anyone to know I’m any good.”

P2 – “Mom, don’t do that creepy shoulder thing to me in front of your husband!”

P3 – “You sure scratch a lot. Is that ant infestation back?” “Did it ever leave? Anywhere in Milford?”

Roh, Roh, Roh your home…

Isn’t Chet one of the Milford assistant coaches? (I’m too lazy to search for his name.) You’d think he’d know what’s going on with the roster, unless he shows up less than Gil does. Or is it the coach’s twin brother? Or the insurance guy? Or the manager at the Subwich? Who knows, they all look alike.

And speaking of alike, I’m going to speak in my stereotypical Italian accent and predict that you are going to a-like today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp. Capish?

" You need to quit flinching every time he says Chet if this Witness Protection program is going to work. HvB said the deal she made for you means you may have to wear a wire and testify. Don’t worry, this Thorp guy can’t hurt you."

So…. ‘Chet’ doesn’t want transfers to come into Milford to take playing time from little Charlie? is that going to be the underlying theme? (organ music) tune in tomorrow; same time; same strip…..
