Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 16, 2013

Sophia Vegara lives in Milford?

There’s a character named Gil Thorpe (with an e) on Modern Family, played by Rob Riggle.

And to illustrate “Milford”, please allow me to fully extend my giant ham hand so that it partially blocks the view of beautiful Milford City Hall where the giant clock indicates that it’s still only 2 pm on Gil’s first day of summer vacation which began over 3 weeks ago.

Pop calls the tune… I love Lucy and she loves meeee…we’re as happy as we can beeee…..

Modern Family? Say Hairy, is that the show sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax?

Gil hasn’t been able to watch any TV shows since the switch to digital broadcasting. He can’t seem to get anything on the old black and white Victrola.

Thank you @kdizzle, I (like Gil) don’t know much about Modern Family.

I am not sure if having a senile eldery ex-wrestler “call the shots” is a good idea.

Hmm, seems like I may have seen the closeup giant hand gesture before in this strip. Possibly? Like about once a week for the last year?

The hand in P3 looks like the Hamburger Helper hand puppet

Is that the sandwich girl’s fingers tickiling Gil’s lips.

Finally figured out where I’ve seen Harry before, as depicted in panel 2. He looks just like one of the bad guys in Zorro, the corrupt captain who was oppressing the people.
