Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 02, 2012

At least Marty Moon is still taking things seriously.He deserves a spin-off comic of his own. Remember how Fritzi Ritz’s niece Nancy became a big comic star after she got her own strip. How can anyone make a living by reporting on small-town school sports, even with a part-time job at Mall Security?

Another lost championship on the way, everyone will blame Parker, but Gil should have clamped down on the tats long before this, way to go Gil. BTW if Marty is talking into a mic whats up with the head piece.

@grshprnh: Many radio personalities wear headsets so they can hear the control room without the radio audience hearing. It’s their way to communicate.

P1- Getting the tatoo is okay, but PRINTING OUT THE PERMISSION FORM ON MY LETTERHEAD??? NOW YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR!!!

This has been another piece of useless information brought to you by the writers of Gil Thorp.

With Peter Lawford’s grandson (Parker) collecting splinters, hopefully Lini got an IV and can go, Maynard G. Krebs doing pregame in his swanky studio, Gil and Kaz will deal with Random Task after taking care of business. Just win baby!

I would guess that Marty Moon covers high school sports and also hosts a daytime sports talk show, but in many small towns, high school sports is the hot item for talk shows.

“All Milford All The Time Here on Your 24/7 Mudlark Sports Network! First-time caller Mimi on the line, go ahead caller!”

First time long time, Marty. Thanks for taking my call. My husband doesn’t notice me during basketball season . What can I do?

Actually, Marty, everyone’s saying why. They’re just not telling you.

“By the way, Gil. I hate to bring this up, but are you and Mimi done with the video I lent you? I’ve got a lady friend coming over to the pad tonight and we wanted to watch it.”

Marty might also do some non-sports reporting. And maybe an afternoon talk show.

…Maynard G Krebs indeed…..Moon is also looking more oriental than usual, or is that just the cheap scotch talking? Looks like he must be going to his bowling league after his radio show….

Cortez & Lini to the rescue! Clean skins triumph in Central showdown!

So this means Lini does not have hepatitis? What seemed like an obvious prediction of how this would end up might be wrong. It all comes down to forging parent signatures? What a let down.

Gil should just let Cortez go all Durantula on Central. I wonder if there will be any “Slap Parker!!” signs at the game?

It’s nice that WDIG allows Marty to have his own personal wine rack in sudio (P3)

Marty has turned down offers from ESPN because he’s waiting for a movie offer to do Dobie Gillis Does Dallas.

I have to ask… when did my sideburns become so Chester Arthur? I love the 1970’s Elvis as much as anyone, but the 2010’s is no place for mutton chops.

Kudos to you, Uncle Kaz, for working in a reference to our 21st President!

Again, I am impressed by the consistent level of intellect displayed here….

Chester Arthur is the father of the US Civil Service. He became President after Garfield was shot by a person who didn’t get the government job he paid for. I learned that from filler material on the Marty Moon talk show, which has no callers or sponsors.
