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

C’mon, MImi, Gil’s trying to have a serious conversation here. This is not the time.

Speaking of Gil, when did he lose his right arm? Or is he hiding it behind his back in some grotesque manner?

We all throw off at this comic, but it’s not afraid to look at serious issues like unmarried mothers and PTSD war veterans. Good for Gil and the folks at MILFord.

Gil Thorp has always been a leader in presenting problems that confront young people. The art work has become a little strange with the newest artist though.

Lureman, I’m going with an ice-cold Champale.

Starting at wideout for Milford, #8, Noah Boone. With Mimi wearing jorts and after a long day at the office, err MCC, Gilmeister needs his suds.

I’d love to see the conversation when Noah gets home. Hey Steve, Coach Thorp said he had a message for you. Well, he kind of shouted and said, “Son, you are worthless and weak. You are nothing but a maggot. Now suck it up and start acting like a man. Get your butt off the couch, get out of your room, and get a job. Start taking care of your mother and take responsiblity for your own life.”

My prediction – Gil’s plan is to have Steve help coach to bring him around. Oh wait, it’s golf season though, so…..hmm, not sure. Maybe he just wants to hire him to cut the lawn.

But then he witnessed all hell breaking out. Not something I would want to deal with.

Gil the great role model….beer+Mimi=XXX000 he always needs the beer.

I think it’s a sarsaparilla.

It is possible that Gil is only looking to set him up with Molly. This could be a rare instance where Gil misread a student’s problem and went down the wrong path. Even Thor P can make a mistake.

BITE YOUR TONGUE KAZ!

I think a man workin’ outdoors feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds.

Steve came home from the war a broken man, having shot hundreds of Germans at Pearl Harbor.

Gil’s advice to Steve: “A few ice cold longnecks can make you forget any problem.”

@ geshprnbNow I know why football coachers use X’s and o’s after your explanation.

Mimi and Gil have rolled up their sleeves….are they gettin’ ready to wrestle?

Nice Shawshank allusion, Gibby.
