Hello, how are you?Have you been alrightThrough all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?That’s what I’d say, I’d tell you everythingIf you’d pick up that telephoneYeah, yeah, yeah.
That’s the strangest drawing of a cell phone I’ve ever seen. It can’t be a flip-phone since the screen is one the outside, but it looks like its 2"thick. Mine is pretty old, but doesn’t look anything like this. Actually, mine is so old it has a rotary dial. Boy, I had to stretch to get that joke in. :-)
The final total for Kids Held Hostage: 4970 days between December 25, 2008 and August 5, 2022: 6 days in December 2008 after they last appeared; 10 years with 365 days; 3 years with 366 days (’12, ’16, and ’20); 4 months this year with 31 days; 2 months with 30 days; 1 month with 28 days; and 4 days this month before they reappeared.
I meant to ask this several days ago: How did Gil manage to win all these Coach of the Year Awards on a regular basis? Other than the state championship he won with Tru at QB, what’s he won lately? No wonder that other coach was complaining about Gil winning all those awards; he simply didn’t deserve them. Given what the new writer has done with the kids and Mimi, he’s clearly not feeling bound by the past. I had a hard time following the latest Dr. Strange movie because of all the different realities in the multiverse. Looks like I’m going to be confused by the new Gil Thorp Multiverse as well.
Yo Henry, I can’t believe you left me trapped in the back of the minivan with my lame-o little brother for the entire weekend while you focus on my pitiful “father”.
P3 is Vito from Goshen calling Gil to let him know he is featured on the Big Board. Giving long odds on a Divorce/ Retirement parlay, as well as even money on Drunken Stupor. Don Vito also tips his wine glass to HooDad for longtime meritorious service to Gildom.
Tomorrow, Mimi sings Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “I don’t know How to Love Him” and so she decides she might as well go back to Gil where there is no mystery.
I like how in P2 Gil runs to check out his award wall, making sure that Mimi didn’t rip any down in a fit of anger. And speaking of ripping, I hope nobody is going to be ripping today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Is the rest of Gil’s foursome calling to let him know that they’re already at the golf course? Coach of the Year or not, it’s tee time!

“Is she leaving me?” he asks as he stares at the wall of awards and sports memories about which she thinks he might care more than she.

P-1: I was right. We do learn “What’s in the Fridge”.
P-2: As he ponders the future, Gil checks out how many spots will open up on the wall if he gets rid of her stuff.
P-3: Sherlock hears Barbara Lewis sing – Hello Stranger

In the early Gil Thorp strips, wasn’t Mimi Milford High’s coach of every women’s sport? Girls’ softball, girls’ basketball, etc.?
Wasn’t she just as busy with the women’s sports?

Ahhh, nothing like a round or 12 at Milford GCC to clear your mind.

Gil, if you look at the back of the note and notice the 8/6 or “86” Mimi left as a hint to answering your question before you ask it.

This may be the first case ever of a guy who says he’s resigning/retiring/leaving to spend more time with his family… and means it.

This reads like a set-up for “Mr. Thorp, this is Sgt. Friday. We are sorry to tell you that..”
