P1 Maybe it is me cuz I only went to ND and then Northwestern, but GilPa asked how they connected-answer he went to Virginia and she went to Northwestern and Chicago. The connection is lost on me.
I don’t remember Jaquan’s defection from the NBA-is that another way of saying he knew he was gong to get cut and wanted to avoid the embarrassment?
The start of another riveting story line. We need to form a group to buy this strip and do an overhaul on the creativity and art work.
Meanwhile , the anticipation grows as July 4th approaches . Milfordites are looking forward to the annual stunt show,demo derby and fireworks display at the Milford Speedway, the Odd Fellows Pig Roast, Rick Soto concert at the Milford Civic Center and of course carrying the Milford tradition of throwing firecrackers at strangers, in all reality .
So after some extensive searching (because I have no life) this was the start of the Jaquan and Hadley story, back in 2004-5. He was some stud high school player like Lebron James and Milford ended up playing them in a non-conference games late in the season. Jaquan was trying to hide from all the cameras and attention when he met Gil and Hadley.
You’ll notice just how awesome the artwork was at that time.
Really need the color version to tell what color HVB’s hair is in P2. I say some shade of shocking pinkish/purple since those are the colors of Northwestern and University of Chicago.
How on earth could Gil not know where Jaquan went to college? It’s not like Gil has had so many future NBA stars play for him he can’t keep track of them.
I’m sure the 5 or 6 days it’s going to take for them to explain how they started dating will be well worth it. Yes, I’m being facetious. And speaking of worth it, it was worth it to wait an extra day for new episodes of Mopped Up Thorp . Yesterday’s and today’s strips are now online.

I’m confused. The Don defected from the NBA to become a Wahoo? In the real world, it’s the other way around.

P1, I wonder how thrilled Gil would be to reconnect with his children?
P2, Like several others here I don’t get it either.
P3, So you went to school together 750 miles apart? WTF?

P3: Gil was striking what I thought was a premature “brief time out” pose. R & W have stopped doing that the last few years it seems…

HvB seems to age by the day. Maybe it’s the glasses.
