Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 26, 2021

What, Milford has become such a happening place that they need two new pole dancers at Vinnie’s Boom-Boom Room?

My Mother the Car eavesdropping in P1. And in P2, how does Heather’s shirt change from light purple to pink and Marjie’s from light to bright orange? Did R&W’s Monday morning paint shipment arrive on time this week?

In all reality , does Marjie use Heather as an inside source of information to expose Gil’s lack of coaching ability ? Inquiring minds want to know !

P3- Marjie is sweating out that bender she had with Marty over the weekend.

Ahhhh another Monday and the GT bad acid trip of ever changing colors continues with Heater’s shirt turning from red to lavender then pink and Marjie’s changing from lime green to orange sometime between Saturday and today

P3 Marjie’s melty face combined with the joker-like face makes her look particularly menacing today and directed at her soon-to-be cheap replacement Heather

Is it me or does Ms. Douchey look more than a little intimidated, as she breaks into a sudden sweating attack, by the prospect of sharing the Milford Star limelight with this up and coming youngster?

Marjie’s going to ask if she could help coach the football team as well?

P1, Who are you again?

P2, I’ve heard rumors of what happens in Milford’s showers.

P3, So, Heather went out for a run with one low-paying job and she’ll go home with 2. Meanwhile, Marjie suffers the heartbreak of psoriasis.

Future colleagues a trois, perhaps?

What is on the license plate in P1? I can’t quite make it out.

I ran that tag number through the DMV. It belongs to a Del Bader. Is he on the prowl? Was he the guy in the Book Depository?

P1 – “Run-in”. Get it? GET IT??

P2 – Random hand thrown in, Whigham just can’t help himself.

P3 – Heather’s acne went away, but no such luck for Marjie. Hey Marjie, you can’t be saying that! You are not in charge of hiring and you don’t know whether or not she’s getting an offer or not. I thought you were a professional.

And speaking of professional, I know, you assume Mopped Up Thorp is being done by a professional. And you are right, a professional oddball with too much time on his hands.

Based on RonnieAThompson’s comment, I was trying to look closely at that license plate. I believe it says MST 3K. But the last time we saw it was just a month or so ago on Doug’s car. (In addition to one or two other cars in years past.) But that ain’t a GTO. Maybe Vic crashed in when they attempted another stupid stunt with Doug on the floor controlling the pedals. Now Doug had to pick up a used, non-cool SUV.

The old nostril cam is back in P3. I like the way both can appear taller from panel to panel

They have some of the worst “camera angles” in this strip…very creepy.
