    Is Gil in a meritocracy? If so, second place in the Valley should be good for about a 0% increase each year.

    “In THIS corner, wearing the dark trunks, at 5’ 11” and 185 pounds … Abel “Bruiser” Brito. And in THIS corner, wearing the light trunks, at 5’10" and 165 pounds, “Insane Zane” Clark. Let’s have a good clean fight, no rabbit punching or hitting below the belt. Touch gloves and come out fighting." Predictions?

    Gil is dressed up to query the Board as to when the Drag Queen Story Hour, popular in the big cities, is going to start in Milford. He said he’s “asking for a friend.”

    P1, Mo from the diner hasn’t shown up with the pies yet.

    P2, Gil had on a brown suit last Thursday, then a red jacket on Friday and now his suit is blue. He goes through more costume changes than Cher.

    P3, It’s a wonder Gil even knows who you are since he shows up to coach so little.

    “Meritocracy, right. That kid Zane gets shelled every time and hasn’t got a hit all season, yet you keep playing him. Brito for the Board!”

    Now we know Herk the Mauler is played by Rollie Conlan, the pie eating, Subwich scarfing crazed wrestler who defeated GilPa’s character Beau Dandy in a charity event at Milford HS.

    Shouldn’t Gil leave board members alone and allow them to facilitate this time consuming process of filling this board seat?

    Well, today’s strip really went a long way toward moving the plot line along. Where is CK when we really need her? I’m pretty sure she’s not home studying for the SAT exam.

    “Gil! I don’t recall ever seeing you before in the library.”

    “Life in a dumbocracy!”

    I’ll call it now: either (1) the seat goes to neither Brito nor Zane, but to a third character who we’ve never met before, or (2) another member of the board decides to quit, and they pick both Brito and Zane!

    Why would the playing time of the Grandson relate to Gil seeing the Grandfather?? He only came to games he played? He knew Gil’s lineup? Most family members support their children hoping they get in the game. Is this an example of Gil playing KIngmaker??

    That last panel reads to me as if Gil is plugging his upcoming album. Wonder what style it is? Folk? Punk Rock? Hip Hop? Probably something in the style of William Shatner.

    And speaking of styles, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is in the style of ridiculousness.

    P1: I think Gil’s plan all along was to find some leftover pie.

    Vito From Goshen just strolled in. He’s here to renew his library card (he knows the librarian) and donate a copy of “The Godfather” to the Board.

    P 2.5: “…that wasn’t my grandson…it was my son, and it was 1987, you old boozer…that’s why you don’t ‘hardly see me anymore’…your wife still looks do-able however…”

    That first panel looks like they couldn’t decide if Gil was looking up or straight ahead and so do both. Picasso but not

    My greatest fear is spending several days reading Zane’s emotional plea for the under privileged kid’s of Milford who go to bed hungry after waiting sometimes for minutes to use those dusty old PCs.
