Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 16, 2012

Just be honest and tell him that he’s not your type. Six years is not that much.

Is he putting right handed. Years ago had neighbors where man was 20 years older than wife.

At the moment, she’s right. Isn’t she only about 17 or 18? Hopefully they’ll meet again when she’s 28 or so!

Thor p fans, Molly is 19, ready for her Sophomore year at State U. She prefers her men wear tweed jackets with elbow patches and drive a Mazda Miata. P3- Holy cow! Talking flag on the putting green. Gil must be a Zenmaster, talking to objects on the course.

P2 – He sure is devastated.P3 – The putting would probably go better if he actually used a club.

“Yikes” That’s pretty strong language for a former marine. But I do understand this is a family comic strip.

Time sure is funny in this strip, even though the years keep pace with the real world. The real Molly Kinsella (the young woman on whom the character is based) just graduated from Stanford.

Every 40-footer he leaves himself, he’ll say: “Is that a gimme?”

They’ll probably get him one of those extended handle putters that you pivot against your stomach that some pros use.

Let’s face it, Molly is to young to settle for some guy who shows up scruffy with no arm. Whose to say he doesn’t go scruffy again?

I can only assume that Steve will adopt the short-arm method of putting.

Rule of Thumb for men: A woman half your age plus 7 is OK.
