Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 31, 2013

Is there any sort of plot here or are the characters just going to talk about wrestling and eat at Subwich until football practice begins?

I have to agree with Bitsy. This is the most plotless “storyline” I have ever seen here. Also, in p3 are they on the way to lunch or on the way back? If I were a parent of one of those kids I’d be demanding a refund and maybe even calling the cops.

I am so confused.

Your parents will be here in a couple hours. Stick close to the club house, but stay out of the locker rooms.

Well that’s a switch, with Steve skipping out for lunch he’s leaving the club short-handed.

And this, Dad, is exactly the sort of lax parenting that lead to Jami and I being kidnapped!

With that vehicle in P3 definitely needing an alignment, I bet it doesn’t get good mileage. Either that or it’s like a forklift whose rear wheels turn and not the front ones.

How the hell did Steve-o get so huge in P2? Looks like he grew a foot!

…and don’t anybody say what you’re thinking!

Everyday brings us closer to the end of Summer. No Molly, Kenny Lark, Torrey and Kemper Peake. I suppose Pro John Jawor will supervise the children since Coach ThorPa runs MCC in Summer.

He protects a young girl and then calls a group of young student/athletes rug rats. This story line is going no where interesting at light speed.

Gil’s generic SUV is looking pretty shiny thanks to that auto detailing service Stevie Luhm!

The beauty of it is you can miss a bunch of episodes and still follow along. Just like Gilligan’s Island.

Keri, is that you? I wish I knew where I was, I just want to go back to Milford!

For those of you who don’t think this storyline is going anywhere, wait until Pops sees the peacock in a few days and then the action is really going to start.

Clearly, this is some experimental, slice-of-life fiction. It’s all the rage in certain literary circles.

While Gil & Steve go galavanting around with Herc, the kids wander over to the country club pool. Carlos the lifeguard is too distracted talking to Mimi to notice when one of the kids falls in and can’t (because nobody teaches any sports in MILFord) swim. Everyone is paralyzed by the grim spectacle until Molly, resplendent in her bikini, jumps in and saves the poor rug rat. Mimi, suitably impressed, appoints Molly to coach the new Lady Mudlark swimteam …

The need to entertain ourselves has never been greater!

When does Herc meet Marty Moon
