Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 14, 2022

“Actually, Dad, she was going to do a story on your time as an FBI informant in the mob.”

Good thing the girl with the loaded tray is wearing slimming vertical stripes.

Technically, gragg is still a minor, so pops is totally within his rights if he wants to stop it

P 1 In all reality , I expect to see you 2 guys out for football this season ! Not you Gregg ,sorry ,

P2: Mess on spaceship Enterprise. “Coffee, tea or me — you want fries with that?” And has anyone found people in Witness Protection using Google?

P1 “Yeah, I was talking with the media, but you know I will never see eye to eye with them,”

P2 “Okay…soooo…aren’t you supposed to stand up on the table and announce it now, or something?”

P3 “But dadddd, I will let you wear my mask when she comes over to interview me for the story, she will never recognize you or suspect anything unusual.”

Isn’t Chance Macy allegedly playing center field on this team? Is he erased from GT hell? And what about Gonzo Alceves, the standout pitcher? Anyone new to snarking with us should understand Milford equals mediocre. And useless Mary Worth like meddling.

That’s no lady, that’s my right.

The “lady” is five or six years older than Gregg.

P 4 (popp’s voice): “… Gregg!…three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead…”

Que the dramatic music-thrum, thrum, thrum.

P1 – Not sure who he is, but striking the classic “wearing the towel around my neck during and even after putting on my pants” locker room pose. Looks to me like he’s practicing for a cologne ad.

P2 – “Should I have the hamburger or the hot dog? Why not both!” Where are they? This is not the school cafeteria considering it has booths. And it’s not The Bucket as it is not self serve, they have waitresses.

P3 – Finally! We are getting close to the BIG REVEAL that I am 100% confident will be 100% stupid.

And speaking of stupid, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

I’d bet on some kind of court issue from when he was a kid.

What the heck? I’m trying to post something and I’m getting “Hold on. Your comment includes word(s) on our banned list. Please edit your message and try again.”

There is nothing remotely banworthy in what I’m typing.

Another famous shot that happens a lot in restaurants in Milford. A cúte girl walking towards or facing us, being the focús of the scene despite others talking. But in this case, her face is cút off. She must not be the Prom Queen. I do feel bad about how extra shiny I made the floors at this not-The-Bucket place. I’m guessing in the unseen P4 she is on her back wearing her entire lunch.

Dom de dom dom! Finally, we’re about to get the big reveal on Mr. Hammmmm’s photophobia. Unfortunately, we’ll never know the cause of Gregggg’s deteriorating eyesight. The good news? He’s likely out of the strip for good come the 4th of July Gil and Mimi poolside (Arnold Palmer) iced tea-fest.

P3: Agreed. Let’s move onto some golf if this team is out of the playdowns.
