Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 26, 2019

Back for another shot at learning tight end?

Wow, Gil is reduced to teeing up the ball for a child. Looks like he’s afraid she’ll whack him one.

Now all we need are Jarvis White, True Standish, Danny Randolph and Ed Sharkey and we’ve got Old Home Week.

P1- Gil in the Igor-like stance

P2- Gil, his eyes are up there! Already a shower flashback, he’d recognize that club being brandished anywhere!

P3- look at the clam rake hands on him! Whigham continues his Famous Artist School studies…

P1, Gil cruelly plays keep away with Kylie just as he once did with his own children.

P2, Okay, Jaquan’s left elbow is speaking to Gil while his right hand is on Gil’s shoulder or is that “Thing” on his shoulder?

P3, Ah, so the summer story has Jaquan deciding to become a professional golfer this year? Tony Romo is jealous, I’m sure.

Gil has Kylie hit the first Big Bertha iron and she throws her shoulder out because of the weight of the club head.

By the way where are we, Milford CC or the Valley Driving Range and Drive In???

Jaquan and Heather in the Audi? or maybe Trey?

Hmm, debating if I should use P2 as the lead in to a porno or not…

fake grass mats & a rubber tee @ Milford CC?? No wonder they can afford Gil.

Meanwhile , Soccer Mom Kissie Butinski has the other soccer moms over for coffee to discuss demanding that Milford start a girls soccer team , in all reality

…and so begins the storyline crossover with the new live action version of Aladdin. (Just imagine Jaquan’s blue.)

P1- Doesn’t little Kylie look precious with the bow on her head? Gotta love the shank screen behind Kylie.

P3- Trey Davis cannot be far away from his meal ticket. Jaquan The Don looks yoked. Surely he doesn’t have delusions of playing tight end again. At 6’8", those knees are an inviting target for defenders.

Oh geez…. not again

Well that puts a whole new meaning to a mashie!

Like how R&W use Gil’s comic balloon as a guide for the kid to place her toes when lining up her shot

Time Line eruption: Little girl dressed 50’s style taking golf lessons (90’s) and special guest from was it last year or the year before?.

Hurricane Hattie from “THE BORN LOSER” making a crossover appearance today in panel one.

The lesson I’ve learned is there’s no golf storyline this year since Jaquan’s here.

Before he was interrupted, Gil was about to offer Kylie a quarter if she’ll help him stand up.

I can’t believe no one made a reference to this classic junior golf lesson yet (or maybe I missed it):

Great to see you, but did you have to stomp on Kylie?

Looks like GIl is trembling in fear in P3. Jaquan is about 7’2" and Gil’s pupils disappeared from fright. And speaking of trembling, you’ll be trembling with regret if you fail to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
