Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 15, 2014

Not to split hairs…wait that’s what we do here – but anyways, if his name is Truman wouldn’t that abbreviate to Tru? Will Gil sell out and bring this jerk in to finally deliver a championship and save his job?

Apparently the dividing line between a father and a pimp can sometimes be quite narrow.

Read yesterdays strip his dad got a promotion and they moved

For a guy who just got a big promotion, Dad Standish is incredibly reliant on his son for feelings of self-worth.

I see a devastating injury in True’s future, forcing him and his father to re-evaluate their priorities.

His dad got promoted because of True? “The question is…” How much will Gil pay??

Uh, oh. I thought that maybe the kid would be embarrassed by Dad’s attitude, but panel two tells a different story. The son might be as big an “entitled” jerk as his father.

Best case scenario? Gil transforms the kid’s personality so he becomes a selfless team man………and then sells him to the orphanage where the Thorpe kids are.

I hope Marty Moon hosts a show called “The Decision” on WDIG for True to announce his new team. Meanwhile, something’s on fire in the CC’s open kitchen.

In all reality, Arts big promotion is to the Assistant Night Head Custodian at Walmart.

In all reality, in P3 Gil asks asks True Value the question is How do you feel about losing and not making the playdowns, can you handle it Punk ? Go ahead make my day.

Reincarnation of Ronnie “Sunshine” Bass ?

Molly in a pizza box to seal the deal!

I’m not sure where True is from, but he should be checking out the barbers around these parts because there is no way he is going to get his hair cut like that in Milford, New Thayer or Goshen.

Midseason, True blows out a knee. Aha ha ha, ha ha. I know this much is True.

In all reality, Gil says to True Value, The question is How do you feel about taking hot , steamy ,soapy showers with your Coach ?

Gil rejects his STAMP of approval on True Value, True Dat

P3- Maybe just me, but I see a little Jerry Sandusky in Standish Sr.

Mop, perhaps time for the gratuitous shower comment?

MUT, trying not to Jump the Shark.

This Dad needs to be tied in a chair and forced to watch “THE BOOK OF MANNING”……….. now that is the way to raise QB’s! Need more Dad’s today to be like Archie was.

Mop, you missed the low hanging fruit!

I know, everyone is a critic!

@MopmanI had to google “the pause that refreshes”. A 1929 Coke slogan?? Based on your avatar, I guess Coke really does add life.

The comments are better than the strip. I’ve been a daily fan for 20 years, but this has become just plain boring. Neal & Rod have to move the story along or I’ll go to MUT.
