Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 16, 2021

Carter Hendricks…Carson Hendry,,,IT HAS TO BE HIM! By Jove, she’s done it!

P3: Do the lines by Gil’s head signify EHS, Exploding Head Syndrome? Can….not….comprehend….BOOM!

Honest, I’m no hustler….would I BS U?

Please tell me he wasn’t also lying about being a humble industrial solvents salesman.

That’s Bemidji. She used too many i’s.

Ummm … that was an ORANGE and BLACK hoodie. Just sayin’.

Woodward & Bernstein watch out. So should “Chi Chi” Hendricks, whose head has just been teed up. He’s about to be Star Struck and Heather Burned. Could he have picked a truly different alias — like John Dough or Tre Wood?

P3 GilPa deftly moves away to avoid the wet willie from the finger attached to today’s big hand that intends to put the exclamation point on Heather’s statement

Carter must be hard up for dough. He has gone from the lowest money winner on the mini-tours to huslting the slugs at MCC.

I think P4 should have GilPa taking it to the “master” bedroom for a little fun with Mimi and Heather. Stay tuned

It’s more impressive when you realize the golf season in Bemidji runs roughly July through August

In all reality , good work Heather but you’re wasting your time trying to impress the Thorps . Gil will get credit for all your work and MimI already views you as another vixen Gil wants to conquer .

Wow. That’s an air tight case. Not at all the pile of guesswork and speculation that it seems to be.

Gilpa changed his shirt, Sat was red, today blue. Which kind of makes me wonder, is the colorist color blind?

Gil. +1 is better than scractch, not -1

I was thinking that – it IS our local college up here in the northern part of MN (where I am)… but I never imagined it would turn out to be the BSU Beavers and not a big name school…

Rubin and Whigham DO go looking for the smaller, lesser known schools to name drop… cool! :-)

Just because Cartman won The Paul Bunyan Conference Championship a couple of times, Gil and Heather have an axe to grind with the guy?

Hoo boy, today must be setting a world record. Since the last strip, Heather’s shirt changed. Gil’s shirt changed. Mimi dyed her hair lighter. And Cart-man’s rain jacket has been two different colors, but those colors never included green and/or white!

Well, at least Mopped Up Thorp can overlook those trivial errors. Bah ha ha, of course it can’t.

Thanks for posting the links my friends.

They’ve showed him in orange so much, that even Mimi thinks it’s Boise State.

You have to HAND it to Heather, she’s pretty good at this detective work.

All this to hustle suckers at a local golf club. Deep investigative journalism!

P1, At least the ants gathering around Heather believe her story.

P2, Looks like Gil will be giving his lineup to Heather rather than Marjie from now on.

P3, Smell my finger, Gil!

Bemidji State. Golf Capital of the USA.

Birthplace of a pre

on 8/6/21 the color of his jacket was more of a dark teal grey; on 8/14/21 it was orange; looks like no one told the colorist the color on these days

Get this girl her Pulitzer prize already. Very impressive my young Brenda Starr. And btw, this could be the worst summer story ever in the Thorp universe. At least we’ll have some football by Thanksgiving.

Gil isn’t commenting on Hendricks’ handicap, he’s just tasted Pillsbury’s new and improved biscuits.

I like how the editor told them the colors were wrong; and rather than correct the mistake, the artist just included the editor’s comment as part of the P2 dialog.

Hey!…didn’t they do a story a few years ago about kids cheating in some sort of golf tournament?…Gil barely noticed, much less did anything about it, even though it was right in his face and involved some of his kids getting screwed over, but now, all of a sudden, he’s got Heather Columbo gathering all this evidence of nothing on a guy who has not really done anything wrong? Get to football already….

You have to love our making the color of a jacket a major plot point when the color of everything—shirts, eyes, hair, etc—changes randomly from day to day! Wait until Gil makes a few calls and finds that Carver Henson, Carmine Hennessy, and Carlos Henshaw have been seen daily on Valley area courses!

Criminy, her eyes were brown yesterday. This is so funny! It really adds a zing to the strip. Lots more fun than b&w.

Tune in for tomorrow’s perp walk. Fresh meat for Bubba.

I think she’s mistaken…I just went through the roster archives on line and there is no Carson Hendry on the team back then.

Heather now takes off her mask and she is actually Arya Stark!

Maybe Heather should forget about coaching and become a private eye.
