I really, really, really, REALLY wish school boards got out of the habit of thinking they own the kids’ lives, in or out of school. Once the kids step off the school’s property line, school authority should end.
In all reality , it would certainly liven up the adult party if Gil and MimI did show up. Notice how no one’s even talking to or even standing by Chet ,go mingle .
P3- Chet should be certain his disability income policy is paid up. Fist Pump Family is taking bets on how many lumps he can take with an impromptu blanket party.
P3 Chet is checking his back pocket to see if he has that little .380 Sig he carries as his throw-away piece. He’ll figure out a way to make it look like a suicide, so he can also deny a death claim ( subparagraph 4c) on top of it! He’ll tell the cops Gil was despondent about the demise of the single wing and the wishbone, and Chet figures Charlie will be in the backfield at Wake Forest shortly. Insurance agents rule!
So besides being evil and delusional with how he thinks his non-son is being unfairly coached, he also has horrible short-term memory loss. Considering just seconds ago he asked if they should check on the kids and his wife replied no. It’s also a bit odd that he would be so surprised that the head coach would come to a team party. Unless he’s noticed how rarely Gil shows up for practice or games. And speaking of showing up, I’m hoping you’ll show up at https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/ to read today’s installment of Mopped Up Thorp.

It’s the Schurings’ party and they’ll cry if they want to . . . cry if they want to . . . cry if they want to.

He could re-phrase his question every day for a full week of comedy hijinks.
Next up
He: Should I go see how the kids are making out?
She: Sure, you might pick up an idea or two.

P1, If you really have to check on the kids, turn around and look out the window, stupid!
P2, In the color version Mama Roh is either in the midst of liver failure since she’s very yellow or she’s R&W’s idea of Asian.
P3, Let me scratch my little snookums under the chin with my gigantic yellow hand.

The mere mention of Thorp’s name makes Chet’s blood boil.

It would be a much better story if Chet’s not-son was getting beat out by Tiki

It might take a week or so of strips, but Chet’s gonna’ start some crap with Gil (Mimi will probably be the one to put him in his place though).
