Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 15, 2010

This one looks like bad news.

We have puberty in panel 1! I repeat, puberty in panel 1!

Don’t do it, Billy! That’s not the kind of puppy love you want! The kind of love she wants involves safewords!

“Donna, Donna … the Prima Donna!”

Nicely done by the writers, yesterday we all thought the laps were for real.

The artists have outdone themselves today with the bouncing ball in P3, this strip is going places now!

All seriousness aside if she can play the course at or under par what can Gil teach her about Golf, oh yeah nothing about golf but everything about life.

“In just seven days – I can make you - a MA-A-A-A-A-N!”

It is her mom who is at the pool and Gil will…

And to think we figured we wouldn’t see any more troublesome kids till school started back up!

I totally bought the 2 lap bit yesterday. Nice writing. If this girl has shot a 71 on this course, then why isn’t she with her swing coach? By the way, the kid in P1 is ready to become a man with this girl.

Is that a moustache on her lip in P1 or just overly botoxed ?

The girl is obviously a right handed golfer based on her trying to show up the Gilmiester in P3… yet her golf glove is for a left handed golfer… maybe this girl is as adept in the fundamentals as she would have us believe.

mitchrp - good observation on the golf glove. The wedge she is bouncing the ball with appears to be right-handed, yet, her glove says she is left-handed. Well … the artists can’t get everything correct.

And my other question … why isn’t the head professional or an assistant running this clinic? Why do they bring in the AD from the high school to run a golf clinic?

Yeah, what is Michelle Wie doing in this beginner’s class?

Nicely done by the writers, yesterday we all thought the laps were for real.

Sorry grshprnh, I suggest Gil was kidding yesterday.

How old are these kids? Gil is towering over them in P2.

Correction noted Brdly56, can Mimi discipline me now!

Yeah, yesterday I knew the laps thing was a joke all along. I was just trying to fool you guys along with the writers.

Why is the freckled kid chewing on the Lolita kid’s shoulder?

P3 - 71 from the Women’s tees - how many mulligans, Tootsie?

Note to Gil - Never confront a woman with a bad attitude who can consistently hit balls with a club like this chick does.

I just want to know how Cassie is going to fit into all of this? Can Cassie golf too?

Before this is over Gil will be hit with a sexual harrassment accusation.

Has anyone seen Gil’s children? An amber alert may be appropriate at this point. Maybe they ran away like the Cavalier’s slave did?????

Anyone have Jessie on speed dial?

The kid in P1 looks like Cassie’s younger brother. If he’s anything like his sister he’ll be teaching the 71 shooter a thing or 2. Gil’s going to have a handful of (excuse me) with her.

I was wondering about the laps. A golf course is awfully big to run laps around. Wouldn’t that amount to a few miles?
