Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 01, 2017

Dad seems to live in Monmouth sweats and tees. I’d hate to sit next to him at a bar and have him regale me with tales of his glory days.

In all reality , Trey takes pity on Dad and rehabs his knees for free . School starts , Milford opens the season against Central Vocational School .

Dear old dad looks like he sunburned his armpits in P1. And if you’ve ever done that, believe me, that’s exactly how you stand.

Does dad work or does he just get royalties for wearing nothing but Monmouth gear?

Why is Moose carrying around a discus in P3? Isn’t he supposed to be catching footballs? Still, that’s better than catching javelins.

The role of H.E. Burns’ father today in Milford Masterpiece Theatre is played by local contract player, Wildcat Maris.

So I guess the old man is unemployed, too.

P-1: If she’s high and and makes a pass, I take advantage of the situation.

P-2: Gee Dad, why are you here? I was, um, uh, not just talking, I was communicating. Yeah, that’s it.

P-3: My, what a strange shape she’s forming with her hands and encouraging that young man to reach for.

I wonder if the Milford coaching staff knows about this plan to convert Pelwicki into a fullback. Some coaches make a plan for the upcoming season based on returning players.

P1: with chest puffed out..“in my day, punks like you were a dime a dozen..”P2: is that shirt from Illinois or NJ?P3: reach out? looks like she’s reaching up

Since the strip’s covering the same thing as they did yesterday; BANG!

P3: “Not while you’re dad’s here, Heather.”

Doesn’t Mr. Burns look stout and full of vitality? Not to be confused with Dick Vitale mind you. I think Whigham missed the mark not putting the old man in coaching shorts, circa 1978 with a cigar stub clenched in his pie hole.

This is too late in the day but I just looked at the color version. For some reason the gloves stood out more on that one. First thought I had was it looks like she’s getting ready to give him the ’ol prostrate exam.
