Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 11, 2016

lovely

Had to quit wearing that. I started having too many back problems.

How does Pelwecki know Mr. Burns doesn’t have a son?

P3 looks like Heather is high-fiving him for being an idiot.

Because there’s no way a son would have ended up playing soccer.

Moose really knows how to sweet talk the ladies. He may end up being the next 40 Year Old Virgin.

Is that Gil’s golf bag full of footballs in P3? At least we know what his priorities are.

Idiot? Well, at least the boy’s got a future. He can join the rest of us smart alecks here on the message board.

Oh, what a relief it is too. Whew!

I wish it only weighed 20 lb.

Heather (3rd degree) Burns must have held a small nerf ball in yesterday’s P1. With that young Keanu Reeves hairdo and sappy retort, borrowing a jingle from a brew I indulged in long ago, “The Moose is on the Loose.”

Retired. Don’t use one anymore.

I had to stop wearing one—it was tugging my pants down and my wife said she got to see enough of that at night, she didn’t need to see it in the daytime ! ! ! !

Seriously? I’ve never met a girl that has five footballs at home and a golf bag to lug them around in.

Hay IndyMan and Farside99 Years ago I went to army surplus and got a pair of the combat suspenders the webbed ones and put on mine. makes a big difference

P-1: Heather teasingly caresses the football until it over inflates and points upwards P-2: Moose has spent too much quality time in the Milford showers P-3: Coach Thorp is an administrative genius. Since so much of his department’s budget went toward those collectable coffee cups, he had to economize on the equipment. He’s using the baseball bat bag to double as the football bag. Like the old gum commercial: it’s two, two, two bags in one.

They ARE handy! Our son is a contractor. Recently he’s been teaching his 11 year old som building techniques, making birdhouses and such. I happened to go out, and there was my grandson, outfitted with his own “grown up REAL tool belt” and real tools! Our son’s a good Dad.

My apologies — no one appointed me fact-checker.

In 1995, I lost 145 pounds in one day….the judge signed the divorce papers…

My father always said, “The right tool for the right job.” He would love my husband’s tool….uh, assembly. The one for home is so heavy I couldn’t even get it into the closet the other day. The one he travels with now requires a little hand truck.

I was in the hardware business so I sold quite a few of them, and all the tools that went with them; however, I rarely wore one…

@chiphilton: My memory’s perfect, it’s just short.

But, why a duck? Why not a horse or a chicken?

P-3: The strip goes Gothic with the subtle introduction of Dark Shadows.

Dr. Freud just called. He was rather “excited” that, with all the sexual allusions being made, R&W placed the “Goal” Post in close proximity to the over inflated and upright ball in P-1. He finds this image disturbing.

Looking forward to Heather showing Moose the footwork prior to a bootleg/ Tight End Delay. Moose tracks to the swinging tire hanging from a tree branch, jettisoning the oblong sphere through the open orifice. Feeling a little Irish, Heather remarks, “Manly yes, but I like it too.”

If you want to insult someone. Ask them if they want to lose 39lbs. Cut your head off!
