Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 02, 2021

Well, no kidding. Granted, in my neck of the woods it’s an elected town office, so in my case the interview was in the local paper.

Today’s guest star: Ed Asner.

P1: Great table manners; leave dripping gunk off the food before you stick it in your pie hole, literally. Maybe it’s already dripped on his shirt.

P2: But what we could do is stick this fork in your eye for such a stupid comment.

P3: Brito makes sure his mustache is ready for the meeting by checking in his hand mirror.

P1 GAAAH! What a hideous visual to start the day, dude has the look on his face of a cannibal, not some pie eating Milford bumpkin

P2 no, but I can stick this fork in your eye, take pictures and post them on social media

P3 whatever (Irrat)Abel dear…(Mrs. Burrito thought bubble – just take the stick out of your a$$ and get out of here so I can finish my profile update on MlLFs of Milford)

BurritoMan about to go nuclear!!!

Oh no Abe , our Witness Protection Program handler said to keep a low profile here in Milford . Frankly my dear,in all reality , I don’t give a damn !

P1: Unfortunately, both you and your favorite shirt ARE replaceable. This guy is right out of Central Casting. Can’t wait to see if Katy will attend Rocky VI. “Come Here Boy”

P1 & P2- Herk the Mauler makes his triumphant return. Interviews? I think not. Want to sell tickets? Put some cabbage in the library coffers? Wrestling match featuring The Flying Burrito vs. Milford baseball’s Gas Can.

Wait – I thought Zane and Abe were “candidates” for the library board, in that they were running for an office. But today we learn that this isn’t even an actual election? We’ve had all this build up for, and were meant to get all excited about and emotionally involved in, just a job interview? I feel so… used.

Daughter’s boyfriend. Zane. Over for dinner. Alas, just the Clark boy.

I can’t wait to see how many people show up for a public meeting of the library board.

That Clark boy!

P 3: "…the Clark boy just posted a picture of me and Saddam Hussein on Twitter

Oohh—looks as though Brito will be unAbel to qualify for the finals in a two-man race!

P1/P2 is Rubin’s tribute to Gavin McLeod

P1, Alan Funt makes a guest appearance today. Smile, you’re on Candid Camera!

P2, Did he bite the end off of that fork? That pie must be really good.

P3, Better than a public hanging (Un)Able. Although it might be both for you.

Too bad I’m 8 hours too late for the Lou Grant reference. P2: Marty’s on the board or is it some other evil character with facial hair?

Milford prison shot in P1

The suspense is just killing me . . .

Abe calling his bookie to put another couple more dimes on himself as winner. On the phone he’s telling Vito from Goshen this looks like easy money. “That boy Clark may not be a good public speaker when his jaw is wired shut, due to recent dental issues.”

Oh, Lord, Mr. Reality was right yesterday – so many violations of the OMA have occurred in 3-4 strips. The library could be shut down before the public meeting.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the current storyline, but we may as well get a laugh somewhere.

Today’s Unsolved Mystery: If “to the victor go the spoils.” Just what are the spoils in a Library Board seat? In the words of the Bard – “there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark”…OK, maybe not rotten, but is it spoiled? and, is it related to the Library?

I don’t trust Ed Asner, or Gavin MacLeod, or whoever he is. Anyone that dips his pie in syrup must be evil. And speaking of pie, reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp is easy as pie. Just go here:
