Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 12, 2021

I don’t think by experience he meant her talent at finding exactly the right online pron….

She’s about to acquire more experience. Her dating site just hooked her up with Pedro.

In P1, I thought he had a plastic COVID face guard on from the outline of his hair/sideburns/beard combo.

Cute…she wants to work for the Star so she wears a star on her shirt. They say dress for the job that you want…she will be wearing a Milford football jersey next.

Hope he cleans up that coffee spill. P3- a message from Big Ken Brown trying to make things happen?

Oh Hi back , how are you ? In all ŕeality , I have become your Dad’s golfing buddy. I think it would be great if you two would come back to Milford and surprise yòur parents , Chat later , see ya !

Catch 22: Can’t get hired for lack of experience. Can’t get experience because you can’t get hired.

P3: Uh oh. Carter’s “approach shot”. Will Heather hold the flag for him? Or let him play through?

“Well hello there”, said in an Amos and Andy voice.

P1 & P2- Dale should be cast with a pipe, ascot and Mazda Miata.

P3- Heather becomes the new breed Internet Ninja. Channeling her inner Ron Burgundy, she finds a long awaited message from Jajuan Case.

P2: Impressive? They’re spectacular! I mean she is.

Boone’s arm. Heather’s foot. This football team gives an arm’anna leg.

P 3: Heather has finally figured out where the big money is and has opened her own website where people pay to watch her online. The more she does, the more she makes.

P 2.5: “…that’s the dumbest thing to come out of your mouth yet Dale….you hired me didn’t you?…”

P 2: “…watch me talk and drink at the same time…I’ve got talent baby!…”

P3 Heather does the checking many of us snarkers foolishly presumed GilPa would do and finds Cart’s college golfing career results on that new-fangled (in Milford) internet thing

Uh, the Milford Star is the kind of penny-ante operation at which reporters gain experience.

Took her days before she finally googles and finds that Cart played college golf and she wants a job as an intrepid reporter…

P1, Looks like the colorist at Mary Worth got a new gig as he decks Dale out in Mary’s power colors. Even his hair is purple!

P2, You mean with you, Dale?

P3, Heather’s cankles seem to be cutting off circulation to her foot.

Heather is singing the first line of Willie Nelson’s Time Slips Away. Must be watching a music video.

I guess a golf hustler working at a CC is small town news.

Okay, finally one of these tools taps some keys to discover Cart-man was BSU’s top golfer for 4 years. Heather submits an article to the Milford Star exposing his hustling on the golf course. The editor is impressed, it’s front page material, pushing daily coverage of the Library Board to page 3. Cart-man is forced to leave Milford in shame, and Heather is nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She’s offered a job at the Star, but turns it down to pursue her dream as an assistant coach to State Champion Coach Gil Thorp, with a weekly salary of a daily Milford Value Meal consisting of a wiener, bag of chips, and a Diet Coke.

And speaking of wieners, this wiener here has just finished today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

Oh Marjie, you’re so naïve. Heather played her like a violin, praising some obscure article Marjie wrote 4 years ago. “You’re so talented, it made me cry!” Now Marjie is all, “That Heather girl is wise beyond her years. We must hire her, now!”

Yeah. I ran into her the other day. She left quite an impression. ON MY CAMRY!

P 4: “….are you still standing on the driving range waiting for coach Thorp?…”

She will never get hired for a real job until she loses that laptop with the child-like bumper stickers on it.

P-3: Heather finds my old Face Page profile

Thanks for the comments. I had no idea that person in P3 was Heather until I read the comments.
