Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 18, 2010

In between Panels #2 and #3, the whole climax of this story flashed by. We missed everything.

Gil doesn’t even have breakfast with Mimi anymore, she must be booting him out early so she can continue looking for their lost children, dog, and cat.

Of course the whole climax of the story flashed by. It’s past mid-August already. Training time for Milford’s next football season’ll start when, on form, about, oh, Saturday?

That was sure a climactic ending!! Oh, well, on to the two-a-days.

Normally in this strip, football season workouts start after Labor Day. Hang in there Thorpomaniacs.

Over? Did somebody say this story line is over? What about Torrey, Chris Stiles and their budding romance? Inquiring minds want to know.

I can’t believe that after all that build up that they were able to take care of the whole situation in 2 panels. I feel cheated. Is Cassie trying out for a cheerleading position? That might be exciting.

Wha … what just happened?

Carl was up against the stern faced, arms-crossed Gil attack. He never had a chance.

Is Mr. Peake driving a Mini Cooper on the golf course?

P2.1: “Let me introduce you to my friend Mark Trail, and his Fists o’ Justice(TM).”

Turkey Turney in three months!

Looks like Mr. P is off the cart path in P1. Who put Gil in charge of the Valley Junior Tournament? Wow, those are giant hamburgers in P3!

Strips where an obvious $*&$)# gets their just due sure bring out the “thorpaholics”. Bizarre that this one appears to be heading to the sunset so soon. Mimi on the deck and than 2 a days. Carl

Kemper puts down the stix and shows up for 2 a days-Carl heads to bleachers-TP hmmm

He got his just due but we sure didn’t see any of it. I was hoping for at least a little Chief of Police daily double action …

Wow - that was easy. On to football, I guess.

Gil and Captain Kangaroo celebrate Carl caving over giant clubhouse burgers and double Bombay Sapphire and tonics.

By Carl saying that nobody has PROVEN anything is an admission of guilt. Gil may have put him in a headlock and broken the douche-like glasses off his head and then he caved an admitted it..

See when he said “tamper with the lies”, I thought it meant that Peake would start new rumours, such as that guy Stiles was gay since he didnt hit on his daughter or something like that

“In between Panels #2 and #3, the whole climax of this story flashed by. We missed everything.”

Speaking of climaxing…Mimi doesn’t miss having breakfast with Gil because the pool boy Julio has made some extra visits.

Is it me, or is Carl Peake in panel 2 drawn EXACTLY like kindly old greenskeeper Capt. Kangaroo in panel 3?

Dang, I wanted to see Carl eat some crow. I guess I’ll settle for Gil and the Cap’n chowing down on those ginormous burgers.

That path in panel 3 turns straight up at the horizon and becomes a “Stairway to Heaven”.

Ok finally!! Lets get to the football script now! Pleeeeease!!!!
