Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 05, 2018

6A….Gil and Mimi up and having their morning Trumpet

P1, Double D, after staying up all night waiting for her story to post, falls asleep at the computer and misses her big triumph.

P2, Mr. and Mrs. Thing check their phones for the big story.

P3, Gil and Mimi take turns reading the story out loud to their kids. Oops, to each other. Sorry kids.

Seriously? People are reading an online school newspaper at 6 AM?

Wow, the Trumpet has a major following, I don’t know too many High School Newspapers who would have people waiting with baited breath at 6:00 AM for the release of the next edition. Seriously, let’s get real here. P1 Glad Double D went to a dark shirt with no shadow and no bra, she is holding those “DD’s” up with her arms!!

In all reality , the hooker that Gil is with says Gotta go Honey . Don’t care about some high school kid’s story. Say Hi to Marty Moon when you see him .Bye

Hope Barry’s reaction doesn’t become the next storyline. Too late in the year for that. The sympathy part of the story to come next should help with that.

Cleopatra was in denial too, but it’s a lot more than 3 hours from Milford.

P1 – Either DD stayed up all night, seeing as she’s totally dressed and her bed is made, or she got up at 5am just so she could watch the website update.

P2 – So which of them set their phone to the “brmm” setting? Nice that the entire world is sitting at their computers waiting for the next edition of The Trumpet to come online.

P3 – “Okay, let’s go around the classroom, each person read one line of the story.” You can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you can’t take the classroom out of the teacher.

It must not have been too in depth of an article, seeing as people brought up the website, found DD’s article, read it, and then started calling people in a grand total of 2 minutes.

I just received an alert notifying me that any chance of a golf storyline this summer has ended.

P1- The Trumpet issues Pac Man computers to their young scribes.

why is everyone surprised at the 6am readers? It’s Milford, the Internet hasn’t been invented,yet. The school paper is all there is. This is how the local Ag community gets its news before starting their chores.

P-3: R&W have given us a major clue as to the location of Milford. All we have to do is tap some keys to find out where Denial Prison is.

Your phone goes “Bzzt Bzzt”

And my phone goes “Brmm Brmm”

Your phone goes “Bzzt Bzzt”

And my phone goes “Brmm Brmm”

“Bzzt Bzzt” “Brmm Brmm”

“Bzzt Bzzt” “Brmm Brmm”

Let’s call the whole thing off.

Apologies to George and Ira Gershwin.

Is Daphne’s bed in the Trumpet office? Same type of windows they have at Milford High.

Daphne also has the same off-brand computer with the apple upside down with the lid open.

I hope barry bader doesn’t have access to murder guns. This kid’s gonna explode!

Dafne wades through several dozen comments snarking about her article, and then she braces to see the MST3K treatment of it on the Tuned Up Trumpet parody site.

He yells: stop picking on me because of my size and my height

Today’s strip actually offers some great possibilities for MUT, like putting some Zzzzzzzs on Daffy D in P1, and references to electrical shock in P2, and sexting in P3

Meanwhile , Ricky Soto’s triumphant Fouth of July Concert held highlighting the Milford Moose Club’s Get Milford Moving Festival was spectacular in all reality !

R & W- You had an opening to write us out of this death spiral of a “story” two days ago and you whiffed…can you allow us to whiff on the first tee of Milford CC for the first time in four years? The greens committee is looking for direction, let’s go!
