P1: Gil loves having office staff bring him the grade reports, so that he can launch into his Marlin Brando impersonation. “Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, …” The turnover in office staff at Millford High is very high.
Too bad Harvard’s quota is only one Milford student every 62 years. Let Chris and IBM settle it on Milford’s GOAT Quiz Bowl — Alex Trebeck at guest host. Brick House or B-Ball Bobby returns as Brad Nutter to fill out 3rd spot.
P 4: “…well, since you seem to know so much about it Ms., uh, what did you say your name is?…..tell her that would be considered assault, and she can’t be valedictorian with a disciplinary record, even at this stupid high school…”
Auxiliary dialog from ‘Godfather’ Gil in panel one: ‘hey… maybe youse should tell her we donta like that kinda talk. Perhaps she will receive a visit from a Mr. Kaz. Perhaps explain to her that it would be most unfortuitous for her if that were to occur…. ya’ know wotta I mean?….. now you! get outta heah!"
So he has to worry because mystery lady thinks Alexa will assault Chris because he’s ahead of her in GPA? Why was I thinking that maybe the reason would be something logical for once?
And speaking of logical, it would be logical for you to check out today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.
Sorry I’m late. Here was Will Shortz’ sunday puzzle last week with the answer announced yesterday: Think of an informal term for a part of the human body that consists of two alcoholic beverages, one after the other. What is it?
I’ll give you a big hint. Today’s strip reminded me of it. First one to get the correct answer wins a hearty congratulations, but only if you don’t cheat.

Shocked that Gil would allow product name mentioned in P3 without the GIL mug being featured.

I’m pretty sure when I was in high school I never knew another student’s GPA.
