Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for October 04, 2023

P1A: Group: “Hello, Mickey!” “That’s Marty!”

P1B: You can’t be in Alcoholics Anonymous if you’re going to tell us your name!

P4: “How rough was it?”

Well, this is a sobering development.

UHM. Last names are NEVER used at AA meetings. Typical script error.

I wonder if Marty still carries his sobriety chip and flips it like a 1920s zoot suit gangster?

P1: Based on the parking job, attendees are clearly drinking and driving to meetings.

P3: Which of Gil and Mimi’s former players were driven to drink? We may never know, but it’s hard to remain anonymous when you wear your varsity jacket to meetings.

Is it really anonymous when you’re a semi-famous high school broadcaster?

the chance of us finding out why he had a rough week are slim

kwan doesn’t give pedicures to podcasters ?

the liquor store got all the holiday bottles in this week marty

Some story lines are developed just for us snarkers.

P1- “Just park wherever you want.”

P2- “Sorry, no coffee left.”

P3- Wow, I didn’t know that Bert had a drinking problem. Is Ernie there too?

“I’ll drink to that!”

Marty better hurry up before Funky Winkerbean shows up. The last AA meeting he attended he told stories that lasted about three months about his pizzeria trying to survive the pandemic. The stories were over a year old, which made it more puzzling why he was monopolizing everyone’s time. And speaking of monopolizing, today’s Mopped Up Thorp won’t monopolize much of your time at all.

P 4 (Moon): “….I got arrested for assault when I beat up a kid from valley tech and put him in the hospital…”

Taking that Goshen blowout a little too hard Moonman!

Hello Mr. Barajas, I’m Scott. It’s football season. Give us football.
