Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 16, 2017

No addict EVER had a drug problem…if you ask them, duh!

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

Panel 3, but she obviously has the “black tongue” disease.

“You see I was talking on the phone about going line dancing with the Koch brothers and Aaron overheard me….

If you think Ma Aagard was angry at Aaron before, wait until Gil leaves. It would be nice to know how he put it: “Mrs. Aagard, as Aaron’s coach I’m entitled to know if you have a drug problem.”

“If you don’t have a drug problem, why are you only a sort of actuary now?”

Just sayin again….. “reality is for people who can’t face drugs”

Well thanks, that’s all I needed to know. Sorry to have bothered you. With that, Gil returns to the Milford showers to relieve Kaz from his shift.

In all reality , the body language of Mrs. A is a classic defensive position in P 1. She must suspect that Gil isn’t getting any and might attack her .

Mrs, AA, “Okay, coach, you’re in your 80’s right?”

Gil, “Yeah.”

Mrs. AA, “And your doctor prescribes drugs for you, right?”

Gil, “Correct.”

Mrs. AA, “And you take those drugs?”

Gil, “Well, of course”

Mrs. AA, “Same here, I take drugs, no problem!”

Now might be a good time to insert Marti Moon into this debacle, could be good for all involved!Bill W.

P1- Tina stealing GilPa’s thunder with the judgmental pose. Gil: “Frankly Tina, I don’t give a damn. However, Aaron’s performance in and out of the showers is crucial to team chemistry.” P2 &P3- Only a handful of women in Milford are moustache free but, Phil Jackson would dig Tina’s soulpatch.

Gil, “Okay, Mrs. AA, say I buy that. you can’t deny that you have a horrible ant problem here.”

Mrs. AA, “Ants?!? I don’t see any ants, coach. You must be on drugs!”

‘’I do NOT have a drug problem, I Never had a problem taking drugs’’

Oh Gil, why can’t you just stop at feeding A Quad before games until basketball season ends?

Um, I’m not sure, but are those Gil’s pants draped over the arm of the chair in P1? And speaking of arms, I hope I don’t have to twist your arm to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp:

Oooo!….such bad body language in P1…P4…now GFOH “coach”

In P1, her body and words say no, but her winsome smile says yes.

I guess if MUT is accurate about the pants that Gil is a ‘no’……….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt7U0XycEJE

Oooh! Maybe Mopman is right and she DOES have M.S. and Aaaron is only assuming it’s drugs again!

Oh geez. Now we have to suffer through at least another week before Mrs. Aaagard tearfully admits that, yes, she does have a drug problem.

Listen Thorp, I don’t have a drug problem. I’m a compulsive gambler.
