Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 11, 2023

How is this story line even remotely associated to high school sports, which I thought the Gil Thorp strip was suppose to be about?

And boom goes the dynamite.

So all the action has moved from Scottsdale to Milford? Is Ericka a golf pro at MCC, or just what?

Everything’s gay.

Sure, they hang around together all the time, get drunk when Gil’s not around, are often touching, and she now lives with them. Seems like every happily married couple to me…

Is Coach Cami trying to drive a wedge (see what I did there?) between Gil and Mimi?

Gil needs to study up on his Greek Islands, particularly the home of the poet Sappho.

Will Gil and Mimi play as a “foursome” now? Please, NO.

Bi Bi Mimi…

Hey Cami, you know what seems odd to me? A year and a half ago you were an upstart hoopster on a suddenly rejuvenated Mudlarkette team and now, without the benefit of a college education, you’re coaching with and making googly eyes at a man at least 40 years older than you.

Gil… clueless as usual… even Hamm could see that something more than friendship is going on with those two.

S’more HLA is what we snark fore……

You make me weep and want to die

Just when you said we’d try

Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other

When I’m alone all by myself

You’re out with someone else

Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other

Let’s face it. Pool boy Pedro may become obsolete.

I thought I tuned in for my daily dose of Gil Thorp, instead I get Brenda Starr?

Introducing gay characters is fine, but this a long time major character married to the title character. That’s too drastic, and not just because of sexual orientation.

Grabbing tail (opposite gender or otherwise) WAS the most popular sport at my high school…

Can we give the LGBTQIAP&*(()QWERTY$#@ “story” lines a rest and get back to sports, please? These days I read this strip with the same attitude I have when passing an accident on the highway.

Gil won’t find out until some nitwit like Jami sez “… uh dad?…why does mom kiss her golf coach and then get in the shower with her?…”

I’ll say it again, I really like the way each day’s strip progresses from the previous day.

gil thinks back to those hot soapy showers with kaz just friends though

P 3 would be more entertaining if all that was seen was the soles of Ericka’s shoes sticking out of Mimi’s butt

I want to join that country club, we’ve got gambling, we’ve got affairs, it seems like a really interesting place!

Hmm, Henry moving in on Milford After Dark territory again. At least this makes for a decent lead in to tomorrow’s strip of mine. And speaking of stripping, I don’t know if some of these characters will be stripping soon, but while we wait, why don’t you go and read today’s episode of Mopped Up Thorp?

So close that Ericka doesn’t mind taking a mouthful of Mimi’s backswing…

Every day this week a different “plot”. This s*** is getting old .

I’m so old, I remember when a Milford football player was literally beaten up on the field because he was suspected of being gay!
