Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 01, 2011

Why aren’t all three of these boys in church? I bet Gil is.

It’s Bobby Maris booming 60-yard field goals. Wildcat remembers Lou "The Toe " Groza, who was an offensive guard and FG kicker for the Cleveland Browns. Bring back the single-wing Gil!

All this trouble just to go 1-5 wow!

Ahh…Did Miles and Chip stumble upon a Pot O’ Gold, namely an 8th grader named Brody cutting Sunday school like everyone else in Milford or, are they marveling at the fine mow job done by the versatile Steve Luhm?

Darn, I was hoping Wildcat and Coach Davey would discover the kicking phenom. Now that would have added some excitement to the plot. Maybe Wildcat can give the kid a new car or a tatoo make him inelgible?

Molly Kinsella is sunbathing just out of shot.

“We’re making sure I’m recovered from getting my bell rung.” That is the oddest statement someone would ever make,

Hey, Gil, fans — Neal Rubin’s doing OK and going home from the hospital today. Cheers to Neal.

Thanks for the update on Neal, Cliff. That is great news.

Good news Cliff, thanks.

Great news about Neal. For all the fun we have, it’s hard to turn out writing to meet a daily deadline and it’s great to know we can count on him being with us.

I have more of a problem with strips that take Sat and Sun off

Poor Miles and Chip, both suffering from the awful face melting phenom that only happens in MILFord, and Chip’s left eye exploded.
