    In all reality , it says here that Gregg’s Dad is credited with inventing the concept of False News. Hey maybe Greggo isn’t going blind after all, it’s just false news.

    Greggg’s dad should write a memoir, blaming his editorial lapses on weed, entitled “Baked Hammm!”

    Sounds like Dadddd Hammmm might have a future as a GT writer, totally making stories up, then admit he BS’d it and no one would believe him

    You don’t become a hot writer based on your research. You re-brand yourself as a novelist if your ‘truth’ turns out to be fiction and keep on writing.

    Really? THIS is the big reveal of the minor plot line? Question, how long ago did this supposedly happen? Greg Hamm has been in the Milford School system for years. Another Question, exactly how did they get their kid registered in school without showing his past school records if they changed their name when they moved to Milford?

    IMVPO this story arc has been by far the worst one I have read(so far) by these authors. Except for the fact that over the last couple of years I would be able to say that about every story arc as each one has been worse than the one before

    Like college football’s motto, If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying. If you aren’t plagiarizing, you aren’t writing.

    Milford must still be stuck somewhere in the 1960’s or 70’s because it must be on Hammmmstetttter’s “permanent record” and following him at every turn in life to guilt, shame an humiliate him for his poor judgement and illicit actions and to have any meaningful purpose in this story arc, if this happens in the internet age, he gets his 15 minutes of rage and ire from anyone who really cares, or isn’t busy enough with anything else more pressing in life, then he can get on with a long and successful career anonymously creating click bait, unapologetically doing what he’s been doing

    BZZZZTTT! Ooh, sorry, nobody predicted he’s in Witness Protection because he plagiarized and faked sources. So nobody wins the “Get a Cameo in MUT Contest”. Obviously the whole world would recognize his face in an instant if his picture was shown on even the most remote media site. I’ll bet if he had a trial it had a bigger audience than the OJ trial.

    He’s hiding because he doesn’t want to write political speeches

    So, when he fell from Grace, did it leave her permanently disabled? Is he ducking bill collectors, process servers, cable stations?

    Gil’s change from P1 to P2 – he literally and figuratively has his blinders removed. I don’t care what you all say, this is brilliant comic writing!

    He just invents information instead of reporting the facts? No wonder he’s in demand as a ghostwriter for CEOs’ autobiographies!

    I’ve been reading Gil Thorp since Junior High (I’m 64 years old) and the bit with Gregg’s dad is the most bizarre plot twist I have ever seen

    When I read “hot guy in magazines,” I thought this story was going in a whole other direction.

    So how is Ddad making money? Are they hiding out in Mmilford because prices are stable at 1971 levels, complete with 25 cent a gallon gas?

    Things that make Gil really, really mad: 1. Umpires calling out blind pitchers on his team. 2. Butter knives in student’s possession on school property 3. Not sitting together at girls volleyball games. 4. Out of district students not being allowed to enroll at Milford HS for sports purposes 5. Plagiarism by a student’s parent….

    Well the big reveal was dumb, but I guess it could have been dumber. So now how will Gillll address this situation that he has no business sticking his nose into? And speaking of business, I’d be happy if you’d stick your nose into Mopped Up Thorp’s business.

    Can’t he just give Heather Burns some fake sources and move on with it?

    To be honest, I really just wanted to copy and paste someone else’s comment here, but that would be plagiarism.
