Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 23, 2016

“Want my office?”“Nah, just the desk drawer where you keep the bourbon.”

Marty should have started with “In all reality,”

So WDIG is 1167 on your AM dial? Or maybe 1167 is 12:07 in Milford time.

At least we now know the area Milford’s in. WDIG-AM is in Steubenville, OH, smack up against West Virginia..(Ironically, it’s a Christian radio station.)

I can’t believe they listen to Marty in the car. Why not pop in their Carpenters 8-track and enjoy the drive? Since they carpool to work, does that mean when Gil leaves at 10am, Mimi goes home with him? It’s too bad Welcome Back Carter didn’t reveal this incredible waste of tax dollars.

Looks like the Thorpes are on their way to the local Try-N-Save!

“Playdowns”? Who in the world calls them the “playdowns”?

In all reality , @ kdizzle I would be honored if Marty would have openned his broadcast with my calling card but in all reality this could be a special day for me with Gil driving while distacted by Mimi’s short skirt. Mop , make my day .

How do teams make the “playdowns” in the Thorpverse?" I don’t think that’s been properly explained. The proper answer is “Anytime Rubin wants them too.” Another problem with this strip.

Marty looking so smug after spending the Winter with his good buddy Johnnie Walker. The Caesar hairstyle has made Moon the iconic punching bag that he is.

Good one ChipHilton. I didn’t know AM went to single digit station numbers. Marty reminds me of Harry Chapin song "I am the morning DJ at WOLV

No, why would a 70’s sitcom be exposing fraud in a school’s athletic budget? He’s talking about the Milford reality show we just had last season.

They would have made the playdowns if Ken Brown hadn’t gotten hurt. He makes things happen!

P-1: Marty, this is what Mark Twain would remark after your under/over comment: “The problem with averaging is, if you take a cat and put it’s front feet in boiling water and then put it’s back feet in ice-water, on average, it’s comfortable.”P-2: That’s one of those time anachronisms. It’s not a radio. It’s a GPS asking “am I 1167 miles” into this trip?P-3: What does Mimi want to hold onto? Where is her Left hand?

C’mon, AM station 1167? That’s not possible, Milford really isn’t in our universe. AM stations always end in 0.So the writers must assume Marty broadcasts while drunk too. Mimi’s team hasn’t made the playdowns in years, yet because her girls have one good season she should be made AD? And then what, if her softball team slumps then Gil should be back as AD? And what sports broadcaster devotes his entire show to dissecting a high school program year round, including trying to change the administration?And speaking of change, no need to change your daily routine of reading Mopped Up Thorp.

Carpenter’s 8 track, well done wmac, a laugh out loud for sure!

Whiz, you are dangerously close to a blow torch application, caution is advised

Eyes on the road Thorp! About to broadside that minivan up ahead. Ironic as “We’ve Only Just Begun” is blasting through the 8-track. Nice one wmac.

Radio stations end in “7” when the aliens have you trapped in a bizarre replicant world!

In all reality, Thanks Mop

Hey look, no hands!

The station broadcasts at 1170 kHz, but you don’t want to tune into the center frequency. It’s better to be a little off, since the static helps make Marty Moon be slightly easier to endure.

@seismic-2: This whole story-line is a little off. Attention radio mavens: Maybe Marty has his own ambitions. He’s not broadcasting (that would be sexist) in AM or FM. Marty dreams and airs his shows in GM.

Ha ha, I hope you appreciate the title of today’s MUT. “…But Gil is About To”. I thought that was pretty clever.Ow, I think I just hurt my arm patting myself on the back so hard.

P-3: They may be in Egypt. They’re stopped at a “Caravan Crossing”. I’m not the one that apologizes.

Playdowns? Playdowns??

In Maryland, every team gets in the playoffs. Which ended a month ago.

I wonder if Marty is like the Greaseman. He was this horrible morning Jock in DC who replaced Howard Stern after Stern got fired. After he made his 2nd racist comment on air he was fired and now broadcasts out of his basement on some 10 watt station I think he set up himself. I believe the next door neighbor can hear the show.
