Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 27, 2020

The excitement just continues to build.

P1, As odd as going back to basketball season in August like the NBA?

P2, Casing the shops in bustling downtown Milford for when the looting starts.

P3, She doesn’t really seem like the “sweetie” type. Seems a little early for her to be paroled to Milford as Mimi’s new star catcher. Maybe she’ll be Gil’s new star tight end.

In all reality , I’m going out on a limb here but maybe Corina and her Mom are visitors from another planet who were chosen to infiltrate and assimilate into Milford and report on the Milford earthlings .

P 4: “…if not a little gullible…and the so-called head coach is never anywhere to be seen…”

So Corina and her “Mother” are the extraterrestrials that have been hovering over the friendly confines of Milford Stadium in recent years.

“The bad news is that we’ll have to abandon our plans to kidnap Coach Thorp’s kids and hold them for ransom. Apparently someone else already beat us to it, and he still hasn’t paid.”

I wonder how many missed shots go over that fence?

Obviously Karenna has been kicked loose from VM and is High School shopping. Weren’t Phoebe and Alexa seniors? Alexa was for sure.

I still keep thinking there will be a story line involving the girl catcher.

You’d think she would have started the story about the catcher’s mom trying to burn down a house.

I’m waiting for the Catcher to meet the Milford Fonzie. I can almost regret it already: KC Tuskadaro!

I’m sorry, but why is it so odd that Corina was in Milford? They have no idea where she lives, the kids that go to V!M can be from any school. And even if she’s not from Milford, the Milford kids sometimes go to other cities. Look how many of them have gotten into trouble in Central City. You are allowed to roam outside your city’s borders.

And speaking of roaming, why don’t you roam over to Mopped Up Thorp for a minute or two?

P 2.5: “…but she was wearing a big overcoat and looked a lot heavier after we left all the stores we went to…”

Good social distancing in that one-on-one contest! “Hey, sweetie, with you hanging around so much how am I going to torch this place?”

Those are the Fun Girls from The Andy Griffith Show in P3. They’re headed for Milford to horn in on Gil and Kaz, for what reasons I have no idea.

RayNDeere… you still out there? I got something to tell you about something I saw on a reply you made to someone on YouTube. Not Ed Carter playing bass on the 74 Notre Dame concert. I heard Mike say something on one of the songs about “Jimmy’s bass”…. that would have been James William Guercio. Blondie is on this one playing guitar. He sings lead on ‘WE GOT LOVE’.
