Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 29, 2013

OK . . . now I ‘get’ it.

Maybe everyone else is misunderstanding the superior wisdom of Old Pro-Ras’ler Dude.

Or not.

Or, as Mad magazine had it, “The Phewgitive.” Sample line (from memory): “Sure, I’ll help him. I’m risking my job and could go to prison, but it’s the least I can do for a complete stranger.” But actually, I’m with Pop. I loved that show.

I think from time to time Neal Rubin modifies the storylines based on reader comments. He brought Gramps and Harry back to Milford and this “Fugitive” angle isn’t going away.

No, I don’t think so. Syndicated strips are submitted far in advance, too far to adjust the storyline on the fly.

Looks like the kids are going to have some great stories when they sit down for dinner and mom or dad ask, “What did you learn at your golf lessons today?”

More proof the Mauler has lost his mind, along with Neal & Rod.

I’m anxiously awaiting Pop’s next shirt selection. Which might be a long wait given the relative slowness of Gil-time. Because we girls are all about “fashion”. And I thought my Wyclef Jean/Fugees reference might be too obscure.

Fugie! Oh no! Now the old guy thinks he’s Ernest Borgnine on the set of McHale’s Navy.
