Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for September 02, 2015

I’m not sure why she’s miming eating an apple in P2, unless its another random hand placement? Marty should be regretting not trimming off that Van Dyke 30 years ago.

When Milford’s not playing, is Marty half of the WDIG Morning Zoo show?

“And what did he tell you?”

“I let the big one get away.”

“You mean you missed Free Beer Night at the Milford Moose Lodge?”

“No you cross dressing imbecile, I could have been the Howard Stern of Central City, but nooooooo. I stayed in this burg covering a high school team that wins once every 40 years. I need a drink.”

At least you’re not missing that big ass left hand.

Please do not realize this is an open mic!!!!

In P3, when he says “the big one” that got a way, he’s obviously not referring to his hand

Let the big one get away, huh. Must have missed the sale on those big bottles of Captain Morgan at the Kwik Mart where the guy slipped on the ice a few storylines back.

In all reality , Bring back True ,Boo, Gil,Kaz, and Mimi and start the football season already . No one wants a story from a drunk about his lifes failures. Get Marty in the program and sobber him up .

We haven’t had a Moonpie storyline in sometime. I believe Neal & Rod are tossing golden softballs our way. Swing hard from your arses boys and girls!

As W.C. Fields famously said, “Everybody believes in something. I believe I’ll have a drink.”

W.C. Fields also said: “A woman drove me to drink and I didn’t even have the decency to thank her.”

@ cutter jockIn all reality, you’really right. I’very asked Jack Daniels , Captain Morgan, Jose Cuervo and others to visit Marty and help him sort his life out .

Poor Marty. The only one who will drink with him is his dear Old Grandad. And they drink alone.

Marty is going to think he’s getting his shot at the big time when that pair from LA show up in town. It will end badly. But what’s not bad is today’s Mopped Up Thorp.And welcome to H20man56 who posted late yesterday! H20man, hmm, you’re not related to The Waterboy are you?

Quick! Play “There Stands the Glass” and dedicate to Marty.

A Marty Moon story line! In the words of Flounder, “Oh boy is this great!”

I wonder if the big one who got away was Mimi. Wasn’t she in play for both Gil and Marty about fifty years ago?

I’m intrigued by the little motion lines in front of Marty’s forehead in P2. Is he taken aback by his partner’s observation or has excessive boozing given him tremors?

P3 – Marty casting his memory way back to 9/2/02, pining for his old boothmate, Paul Strange a/k/a “The Big One”
