Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 17, 2020

Nice call on the ‘30s cabbie’s hat, Irish53.

P2: “Walk Like an Egyptian” on juke box.

P3 Is that Lake Winnipesaukee, or a lake very much like it??? Not sure how that mast (or stick) is supporting that sail!!!Looks like we don’t get a visit to the MCC pool and teh MILF’s any time soon let’s at least see you teenie boppers slip into something a little more comfortable.

In all reality , so based on the comment about going to Mars it appears that Corina and her Mom might be visiting Milford after coming from Outer Space .

P1, I wonder if Corina’s mom killed her dad for the insurance money? You need some serious coin to buy a ticket to Mars.

P2, Hmm, could this be Maureen’s final appearance?

P3, It’s been a few years since we last saw Milford Lake. Will we somehow meet Gil’s new star football player while the girls are here, too?

Pheebs even brought her toy boat

Why waste a sunny day?…Rubin’s already wasted this story

If only that was Lake Woebegone we could move on…

P-3: Why waste a sunny day? Here, let’s use this sun tan lotion on our lower legs, arms, and necks.

Look! Alexa’s back!

P1- Like the front yard Boo libraries, the door sign indicates the story line status.

P2- Proof Milford has extraterrestrials among the population. That Romulan Maureen flashes her anti Vulcan farewell.

P3- OldStyle Irish Laddie? A sixer of Hoo and a bag of chips. Enjoy Motorboat Monday girls.

Mo’s continuing appearances has led her stylist to go for the dead eye, Anonymous look. She’s hoping to pair with Steve Boone in their own strip about a diner with a one-armed cook and waitress who even knows your license plate number!

Is that 3 Sloppy Joes for $5.75? That’s a deal. Do they deliver?

Corina is already listing to port and Pheebs doesn’t even have the first pint opened…

I wonder if this story line has knocked Alexa silly, as cartoon birds are circling her head.

Maybe Corina’s mom should just hook up with Mike Fillion and get it over with

“Groovin’, on a Sunday afternoon.”

Even by the lame standards to which we have (unfortunately) become accustomed, this could be the lamest, slowest moving and most inane story arc since the peacock.

P3: Looks like they brought a bag of bones with them….and I don’t mean Mo.

Ok, first off, nobody sits like that. And thirdly, lets get moving on this story!

P1 – So she’s saying she’d go anywhere to get away from Milford and wherever she lives now. Rather rude.

P2 – Maureen can’t wait for them to leave so she can get on the phone and start going through her network of contacts to set up a support group for Mama Karenna. I’m curious what they’re selling for $5.75. What sandwich looking item is spelled with a “3”?

P3 – Either that’s a realistic toy sailboat, or the water is further away than it looks and whoever is sailing it just ran it aground.

And speaking of realistic, one place you will not find realism is in Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

p-2: (obscure reference 37)- “wash those hands and get me a cheese sandwich”.
