    The presence of cookies is an omen that Gil and Kaz will intervene on Cassies behalf which is good for Cassie and bad for the cookies! Of more obvious concern is the ooze comming out of Cassies eyes. Dr Pearl

    Wonder if Cassie will be character witness for Ray-Ray?

    Lukebunkin, that’s not ooze. She’s growing tiny arms out of her eyes. It will help her a lot in basketball, but not so much in softball – unless she finds tiny gloves to wear while in the field – assuming she ever gets on the field in softball.

    Don’t worry about Cassie. Her new boyfriend is in P1, and she will be friends with the girls again when she gets the winning hit in softball. Gil Thorp- where redemption is only one sports season away.

    I guess mom figures, “if you’re gong to be lonely, you may as well be fat too, here’s about 15 cookies to eat.”

    I was a bit nervous when I got to P2 and the title was “Cassie Corman plays it solo” while being set in her bedroom.

    I have been reading Gil for about 50 years, so I too, am addicted. I look forward to everyone’s posts each morning and today you guys have outdone yourself. Great comments.

    Gil Thorp isn’t the only place where redemption’s a winning hit away.

    A Boston Globe columnist was asinine enough to wonder the other day why it is that Manny Ramirez is getting lionized in LA while David Ortiz is getting slammed in Boston.

    It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to guess that Manny’s slugging the lights out and Big Papi’s hitting a hundred points under his weight.

    If you play for the home team and you produce, you’re a hero. If you don’t produce, you’re a bum. That’s ALWAYS been the bottom line.

    Raven-Why do you think you can incorporate sports into your comments? The writer and artist never do.

    Where’s Cassie’s Princess Phone in her 1973 teenage girl bedroom?

    Speaking of Humble Pie, Derek is rocking out to Pie’s “30 Days in the Hole”. Tuck contributes some killer bass lines while he talks the Southern Sherrif part, “You’re here for 30 Days boy”.

    Roy Lichtenstein would have done great things with P3.

    How did Cassie go from “We’re still getting married” to “I deserve it”?

    I don’t remember a panel or a strip showing a major change of heart.

    By the way, wasn’t it just yesterday that Kdizzle posted about having the Milford police put out an APB for Cassie’s parents? Looks like it worked. At least, they found her mother.

    Cassie’s mom is taking her daughter’s attempted elopement well. No grounding, no empty room, no nothing. Plus she’s giving Cassie cookies! Come on, woman! She blatantly defied your orders while you were on vacation!

    If Mimi really wanted to teach Cassie a lesson, make her an equipment manager. Have her do suicides (or the softball equivalent of suicides) until she pukes. Put her on the bench for the season. Have the pitching staff tee of on her. I’d take anything over just giving her the silent treatment during practice.

    Besides, the shunning of Cassie could be justified if Milford got spanked by Tilden, but they didn’t. How does the person responsible for losing the game not get shunned along with the person who abandoned her team?
