Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 20, 2020

I don’t listen to anyone. But I’ll listen to True.

Is Maureen from the Diner being planned as a new strip to replace Mary Worth? A local busybody interferes in the lives of everyone in Milford and resolves all their personal dilemmas while serving them pancakes. Maybe instead of being a separate spin-off strip from Gil Thorp, the current strip will just gradually morph from this one into that one, in the same way that Barney Google transitioned into becoming Snuffy Smith. As it is, Gil offloads most of his coaching duties to other people anyway, so if he just showed up less and less often until finally he disappeared altogether, would anyone really notice? cough*Keri*cough*Jamie*cough

I am almost asleep, two more days of this boredom and I will be down for weeks.

Yeah…come to Milford, Corina….within minutes of hanging out with these two, everyone in town knows about your personal problems…it’s just a matter of time before Coach Busybody himself gets involved in this

I’m sure True appreciates Maureen blabbin’ about his mom too to anyone who will listen

" Did your mom use matches or a cigarette lighter to torch things. For some reason, Mo didn’t know."

P1, Especially you two.

P2, Looks like Phoebe dropped trow between P1 and P2.

And will this now become Maureen’s strip since she makes way more appearances than Gil ever has?

P3, Hmm, looks like Corina might be holding a couple of tickets to a concert, probably in Central City. Is she asking Tru(e) on a date? Will he accept? Will they stop at Swifty Mart on the way home? Stay tooned!

Maureen must be working at the diner to pay for the online psychology degree she works on during the evening. Hey! Refill my cup with some coffee and do one!

P 4: “…yes!… that hat you wear is stupid…”

Is there no such thing as waitress/customer confidentiality anymore??

Okay, looks like the waitress at the diner was eavesdropping. My mistake, sorry

I told you: “Mo knows, so…”

P-1: Why did they put their shoes on the picnic table?

P-2: can’t top Brownstarfish

P-3: How much would you pay for me to “take care of” this Mo broad?

Amazing how she so clearly diagnosed the reasons for her own personality. Add this to the large list of things that don’t happen in real life.

Let me get this straight. Her mom “cratered” and her dad abandoned them because everybody ignored Corina? Does that make any sense to anyone?

And speaking of making sense, Mopped Up Thorp often does. But then again, often it does not.

P1- So Corina’s mother has a chronic acne problem and her dad the fisherman has a leaky boat. This kid has a chip on her shoulder the size of a super Subwich sandwich.

P2- Maureen keeps distributing unsolicited information and some noted local henchmen will guarantee she will be eating her soup with a straw.

P3.5- CK: How long is the road trip to Hawaii? I’m all out of Calgon. Take me away True!

P 4 Thanks for sharing about yòur Mom ,True . In all reality , she is way more F ed up than my Mom

So I got whizzed on yesterday in the Mark Trail comments.

“Yeah, but it’s $100 per hour for me to talk about my Mom and you’ve got only $40.”
