Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 23, 2017

So now she’s Heather Bern? Holey cheese! Little old lady who?

I’m considering a major career change and need some advice. Quick, someone find me a recent high school graduate so I can run it by them.

Just like someone Jaquan’s age dating an 18-year-old — it’s crazy, but that doesn’t make it BAD.

Get your hand off my gal, Gil

P1 How ’bout that MCC logo….pretty creative. Is Gil going to wait tables or caddie??? P3 The NFL would be crazy to consider you!!!

I’m crazy for continuing to bother with this strip.

In all reality , As we Swiss say Your plan has more holes in it than our cheese . Rather than running let’s go to our pool and have a workout there .

Uhh, spoiler alert GilPa. You’ve been due at MCC all Summer. One more day MIA is no big deal. I challenge Wilbur to make this a NO HEART ZONE DAY.

P2: James Carville makes an appearance.

P1, Now that Mimi appears to have left with Trey, Gil sees an opening to get all handsy with Heather. And Gil looks to be turning Japanese. Meanwhile, if looks could kill, Jaquan is about to stare Gil to death.

P2, Jaquan is well on his way to achieving his real goal of scoring with Heather. And she fans the flames prancing around the field in her belly shirt and yoga pants.

P3, Heather appears to be running with a shoe on her left foot and her right foot bare. Maybe the former soccer player will join Jaquan and try out as a bare footed kicker. Jaquan is crazy alright, but it’s about Heather that he’s crazy.

I think JQ should try baseball too, like MJ!

…OK, JQ with Heather, Mimi with Trey, Gil finally showing up at Milford CC to recruit someone to handle his bag…hmm, methinks it’s time to queue up the soundtrack from some of Seka’s greatest hits.

P1- Gil has got a bit of a young Roy Scheider in him today

What happened to True? Left to do maintenance on the little Boobrary perhaps?

This strip is reminiscent of an old joke.Two rednecks are talking. Hey Clem, I see your sitting by that tree staring into space. What are you thinkin about? Oh, I’m just thinking about flying a plane agin. Clem, you ain’t never flown no plane! No, but I thought about it before.

In P1 does she have stripes on her shirt, or are those shadows from her breasts and rib cage?

So Jaquan and Trey are having a barbecue. J says he wants to play football so they go to Gil and Mimi’s house and drink lemonade. Then Gil calls True, and the whole crew meets him at the football field. Next thing you know Heather’s there. Alone. Meanwhile, the meat is incinerating on the grill, the lemonade is getting watery, and Pelwicki is off playing catch by himself wondering where his coach is.

This is why I was taking the summer off.

Look at Jaquan, busting the stereotype and showing off his degree in Geography ( of course it was by correspondence since he only went to a few semesters of actual college.) He knows that that Rome, Vienna and Athens are all in Georgia, as well as a few state capitals. Gil made sure his athletes weren’t too stressed by academics during their time at Milford High. And I’m glad Gil has time to go work on his short iron game at the club, in- between his weekly podcast with Marty Moon. Last week’s guest was Wildcat Maris, who described the denominations of the bills in the different colored envelopes he was “handshaking” to Goshen and Central City kids to get them to transfer. Riveting insights from Marty and Gil.

I think that R&W do this strip simply so we can make fun of it

MOP; after your ‘Ishmael’ comment yesterday you need to see today’s “NON SEQUITUR”.
