Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 03, 2021

“Shall we make it more interesting?” Hey, we’ve all been saying that here for years!!! Apparently, the answer is “No”.

Whoever does the coloring isn’t even trying to be consistent anymore.

You could do like strip poker…

In all reality thinks Heather , I have a lot of worries like paying off my student loans, wondering if Gil wants to cheat on Mimi with me and if I can take Marjie’ s job away . Let’s not talk about no worries you two bit hustler Hendrix .

Who sets up the threesomes at Milford CC? Tournaments set up who plays together. I’ve heard of courses that stick first-come-first-serveds into groups. But putting together the guy you think needs to be taught a lesson, the guy you hope will teach him a lesson, and a random college grad who may feature in the next story arc?

Our boy “Cart” has a real problem here, his only idea of having fun on a golf course is hustling other players in his group, this lowlife would play Kaylie for her lunch money if he could, “No worries, let’s have fun” is code for “I’m p***ed, this is a waste of time”, who wants to bet he tanks to convince Heather to put her pizza coupons on the line?

P3 Hendrix thought bubble: “mmmmmm I’d like to knock off a slice of your pizza when we are done playing a round”

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

Vito from Goshen says a "Steve Boone " just put a dime down on the Gilfather. Boone told Vito that Gil is “hand down the best golfer.”

So is Gil trying to goad Cart into shooting a real low score (and maybe not posting) since he’s playing for nothing and wants to impress Heather? Real sandbaggers would never do this as they would shoot their inflated handicap. Maybe Cart’s not that smart.

I don’t like the eye he’s giving. Braggy golf guy plus young, broke, fresh out of college girl is the start of a harrowing Lifetime movie.

Next thing you know, there will be a Jordan level scandal about betting on golf and Gil will get fired for moral turpitude.

I’m going with Gil in this match- he’s already talked Cart into giving him his red shirt to wear.

P2- GilPa doesn’t ask why, he says how. Heather has been to enough bars and fraternity parties in Iowa City to warrant that Stranger Danger look at The Cartman.

P 4: “..sure!….we can make it more interesting!….just go ahead and play through without us, …..Cart….”

I understand Gil and Heather not working but how does a humble industrial solvent salesman get this much time off?? Shouldn’t he be on the road traveling??

P1, You’ll have to take that up with R&W, Cartman.

P2, My hand is as big as my head, get my drift, Cartman?

P3, Don’t forget that small stipend from Gil, Heather.

P1- They draw hands but not teeth?

P2- Is my red shirt more interesting or should I change back to blue?

P3- I’m playing today with my toddlers plastic clubs.

So is “Cart” going to tank and play possum to Milford’s legendary coach and his unemployed sidekick to show that his timely comebacks are just good luck? Or is he going to have fun by crushing the course and inadvertently revealing his con? Stay tuned (or just try to stay awake)!

Gil already ticking off Carter by not calling him Cart. Maybe tomorrow they will play with his brother Wheelbarrow.

Besides being a conman, Hendricks is another in a long line of Milford quick change artists. Changing his visor and shirt between pulling up in his cart and standing on the green. Unfortunately we can’t tell if he also changed his pants. Or if he just isn’t wearing any at all.

And speaking of changing, how about you change gears and head on over to Mopped Up Thorp for some top notch comedy. Or maybe mid notch. Well, at least a notch.
