Mimi must have provided Gil with TLC as he looks significantly older in P2. Maynard G. Krebs, err, Marty, is offering his prized Trix cereal whistle to the alltime winningest coach in MHS history. I know about those whistles. My brother and I hid our Mom’s so she couldn’t alert us to come home as we continued to play.
I don’t know how old the Thorp kids would be now, but Mimi’s been wearing that same sweater for at least ten years. Gil needs to get out and do a little Christmas shopping this year.
Don’t you think a good coach would “reach” a player before starting the kid on his basketball team? Is this kid a freshman? Or did Gil not get the report from the JV Coach: good shooter, passes well, dumb as a box of hammers, and doesn’t like getting knocked down.
The Thorp Kids “problem” was taken care of a few years ago by a strange man who showed up in town with a shovel… no questions asked. His guilt is starting to bother him every time he looks at Fowler. Which begs the questions… why the heck won’t Thorp just cut him from the team. Then he becomes someone else’s problem.
Heck Uncle Kaz, I haven’t seen a reference to a JV team in probably 20 years. Maybe numbers are down with kids transferring to St. Fabians or the never-mentioned Milford Vocational School that GIl just barely has enough for a varsity.

Maybe that is why Gil and Mimi shipped their kids elsewhere-so they could avoid the teen dysfunction that is prevalent in Milford.

In panel 2 is Mimim using her right hand to give Gil a big welcome home?

Gil is looking really old these days. Better get out the Viva Viagra or Cialis in order to take care of the load Mimi is wanting.

Gil looks a lot more confident in P1 when compared to P2 and P3. Looks like his ED is acting up when he’s around the missus.

This commercial ends up with them in side-by-side bathtubs.

If you can’t reach him, try standing closer.
