After a case of EES upon learning Fran Hernandez de Martinez is a heart surgeon, Mimi goes into a full body shake when her pool boy Pedro enquires about her daytime routine. Stay-at-home mom? I thought she was a domestic goddess whose past volunteering exploits include coaching girls’ volleyball, basketball and softball.
This is all Biff Tannen’s fault. He got in Doc Brown’s DeLorean and skewed Milford into an alternate time continuum. Marty Mr. Nice Guy? Gil drinking an old fashioned? Mimi a soap opera following, bon bon scarfing version of Peg Bundy?
Next on Milford Masterpiece Theatre, formerly a Quinn Martin Production. Dr. Fran repairs GilPa’s broken heart.
Over in Milford, OH, the Eagles opened Valley (aka Eastern Cincinnati) Conference play at home winning a barn burner (no janitors with flamethrowers were ever sighted in the area as was rumored, it’s just an expression to describe the action-packed game), a 42-39 win over visiting Lebanon. It’s early yet, but the Eagles are positioning them selves for a run at the Valley (ECC) championship, if not second.
Does this mean that I shouldn’t be including Mimi in Coaches Held Hostage when she inevitably is not mentioned in the strip for a long stretch? Speaking of Coaches Held Hostage: It’s Coach Kaz, Day 64. Whether Kaz is still a coach is the $64,000 Question. (Hosted by Hal March, III. If Tuesday Weld had married him, she’d have been Tuesday, March the Third.) BTW, Janitor Held Hostage is now up to Day 4529 for Steve Luhm.
Yikes, is Gil getting violent? BHHL has his hands up, “Please don’t clobber me with that club!” The way it’s worded in P2 it implies that BHHL also was in medical school, doesn’t it? Otherwise she would have said “I met him while I was in medical school.” Maybe he flunked out and went into PE. Or maybe it means nothing at all. And speaking of nothing, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is a whole lot of nothing.

Another bombshell. No wonder the girls’ softball team disappeared. The former and current writers must have had some interesting talks.

Wait…does that mean Lukey’s a doctor too? ¡Dios mío!

Wait, what? Since when? Mimi teaches-coaches. What is going with this strip?

While some discontinuity is to be expected with a shift in writers this one is a bit jarring.
And a beautiful brain surgeon married to a short, bad-tempered, foul-mouthed, lying, egotistical toad? That’s a bit hard to take also.

Lo siento? What is she apologizing for?

P1: Now Luke’s telling Gil about the fishing tournaments he’s won. Or his loofah

After Luke Who? rips Gil’s heart out, Fran puts it back together. P3: “…stay at home Mom, and I have a very large following on Only Fans.”

Last time I checked, she was a coach & teacher.

Good thing they have the course to themselves. At this pace, the marshal would be all over them.

What’s going on in p3? Pedro is handing Mimi a club? Taking a club from her? Having a tug of war?

If Fran is now working at Milford Medical, then we have further confirmation that Valley Tech is in fact local to Milford.

So Lukey goes from brain surgeon to gym teacher

Hard to believe that the short, pear-shaped guy in P1 was once a pac-12 basketball MVP

Isn’t she a coach?

P3- Pedro should wear a cap. That Milford Monk is a wee bit toasty.

Did Mimi get fired? I thought she was the girls coach for Softball and Basketball?
