Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 10, 2021

Fork you, Abe.

She should have said no library discussion tonight

He would be the father in law from hell.

GilPa “transitioning” away from sports to life in beautiful downtown Milford. I good with it as long as we do a long stretch on the MILF’s at MCC’s pool and tennis courts and the various liaisons flowing from that…. moving then to the associated gossip generated at Ladies Bridge!!!

P1 What the deuce are they serving for dinner??? P2 Stay tuned for a rough ride with BurritoMan.

Missing final panel:

Thorp steps into the picture and, with his fingers, musses the hair of older guy and younger guy and says, Ah, getouttahere you crazy kids!

CURTAIN

Ali vs. Frazier 8.0.

I’m not saying Brito is abusive to his family, but he has an abusive personality. Plus, he is disrespectful towards his wife.

No way today’s strip rates a 7 out of 10. More like a 2. Does this mean we have to suffer another week of (Indefatig)Abel and his penny pinching nonsense? Get over it Burrito Boy, Zan(y) has a few Capulets he needs to jab.

P1, Or no pie!

P2, (Unbear)Abel just can’t shut the F up!

P3, Moe and Mrs. Burrito brace for a log dull summer while on Monday the Thorp’s hit the deck and soon we’ll head to Milford CC and Milford Lake. Yay!

Monday: CK, the most popular recent character in the strip, shows an unexpected talent for golf so that she can get a few more snarky comments in before being exiled.

Freeze frame. Cue laugh track. Roll credits.

In all reality , the Milford Library started it’s annual summer reading program yesterday and as usual no one came to sign up except one old man. What no pie no wonder no one came ,this is BS. I’m heading to Thorp’s house he promised me pie for life if I stepped down from the Library Board. See later .

“…delivery service is a bad idea. Let the infirm, the elderly, the whatevers, wheel and crawl their way to the library. It’s good exercise! And saves money!”

Tonight’s episode of Milford Masterpiece Theater, a Quinn Martin Production, the part of Abel “Fly off the handle” Brito is played by Buzz Killington.

So, these two stooges think that they are gonna be callin all the shots now even though there’s an entire board that is supposed to agree?

Dude…if you insist on continuing to date that girl, at least start refusing the dinners. Things aren’t great are your house, but is some under-seasoned chicken and canned peas really worth all this?

Who could have seen this coming?

Thank God this over. Now on Monday do we meet the new kid or are Gill and Mimi on the porch???

And…that’s a wrap—see you poolside Monday!

P1 like R&W, Mrs. Burrito serves pablum

P2 (Assail)Abel’s gesture is an admission from the writers this story is truly forked up

P3 (Indigest)Abel has a brother?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cue the laugh track and groans as the story ends in typical 70’s/80’s sitcom fashion. “Here we go again!”

But we never found out. Did the Burrito’s ever get their router problem fixed? Is (un)Abel forced to still be using the library computers, inflating the percentages?

So that’s a wrap. May we never see this group again. Will we see CK in the summer? Maybe? But more likely it’s a new cast of losers.

And speaking of wraps, Mopped Up Thorp wraps up this story in style.

Edith will explain to the Meathead here what I’m talking about.

Keith Hernandez is never happy.
