Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 04, 2019

Station manager wants ego-free employees like Marty.

Marty better be careful or he’ll have a backlash like Arthur Godfrey got when he fired Julius La Rosa. Slightly before my time, but I’ve read about it.

Marty serves comeuppance ice cold.

Just like ‘A Face In The Crowd’. Methinks that is where R&W got this one.

P1, And there’s our first big finger point of the week.

P2, My town, where the booze flows freely.

P3, Well, Bobby/Robby you’ll always have your billboards. If you can find a way to pay for them.

P2 The fact that Milford is a podunk town notwithstanding, Marty sure is the biggest fish!!! P3 What about the Moon Man’s ego, wish he should check it at the door!!!!!!!!

In all reality , P 3 the Station Manager shows Bobby his bionic arm and threatens to choke him with it .

“This is my town! Mediocre is always good enough, in Milford!”

I guess the bonus is Marty’s bragging—not the bottle of water. It would be funny if the mic were still hot during his lecture—the station manager could send them both packing. Oh well, time to solve Filion’s depression problem with a visit from Maximum Bacon and then let’s make a run to second place in the Valley!

Marty’s 1970’s boots are made for walkin’. That’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

I like how the manager is pissed but he’s just casually leaning against the doorframe like he’s been there for a while.

Well, hopefully Bobby saved most of the money he earned during this radio gig. Oh, wait, yeah, he actually NEVER MADE A DIME.

sad trombone sound here *

When Marty gets one over on you, it’s time to go. How many days until baseball?

“No one hassles Coach Thorp but ME!

Of course, Moon now owes Mimi a HUGE favor for tipping him off to Robby’s play…

Time for a new billboard with a new target.

A town that Robbie was just passing through.

P4: “…go on, skippy, ….get TF outta’ here…”

He’s really telling Marty to get lost.

If there was no second word balloon in P3, I’d like to imagine that he was talking to us.

Marty puts “Hit the Road Jack” on the turntable and lets it spin

P3: What happened to Arthur Carlson’s arm? Is it in a cast? Is he starting “I’m a little teapot?” Looks like a monkey’s arm to me. Who holds their arm like that when throwing someone out or, for that matter, ever?

As evidence of Robbie’s downfall, pieces of the ceiling have started collapsing onto his head.

P2: And you can have it!

Good sequence! I enjoyed that storyline.
