Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 24, 2021

“So, you’re out for a run? At 3:00 PM? Does that mean that your job at the paper lets you set your own hours, so that you don’t have to work in the afternoons? If so, then I’d say I’m doing just fine, thank you very much!”

Meanwhile Moon’s running up a tab at the local bar.

I think we know where this is going….down that is.

Female counterpart to playing golf with the boss. Will Heather show her savvy by slowing down to Marjie’s pace? “I’ll give you that (20 foot) putt boss.”

Is it safe to run in beautiful downtown Milford???

I think I see a shadow in that Milford Book Depository window. Not sure if it’s a lone assassin, and who the target is.

“Doing more thinking than watching” – a statement made about men never!

In all reality , walking or running anywhere in Milford is not safe based upon my experience !

Another riveting Saturday cliffhanger to an action packed week in Milford. Does anybody have any clue where this story arc is going? A Gil/Heather loofah fest? Kaz being kicked to the curb? A gambling expose at MCC? Another industrial solvent murder mystery? I gotta check with Vito from Goshen to see where the smart money is being played.

Bustling downtown Milford. Where 2 stories is the building height max. Wildcat is safe knowing his 3 story colossus reigns supreme dominating the town skyline.

P3- Two melty faces don’t make a right.

P1, Is Heather wearing a Fitbit or is that just the normal watch/armband all Milford characters must wear and she’s chosen to wear it on her bicep?

P2, Did Acey Ducey fart?

P3, No, but I play one in this stupid comic strip.

“… Miss Douche-ee!….what’s up?…”

Ducey’s facial express seems to say “…stay away from my man, you little fraternity toy…”

“How’s the weather, Heather?” Perhaps she should have mentioned this arm monitor she is required to wear when she approached Gil about employment.

Isn’t Marjie a little young to be slowing to a walk? Gil is out there jogging all the time and he must be a lot older.

Heather is having trouble getting a job because she keeps wearing the ankle monitor she got on spring break ( “Come to Florida on Vacation, go Home on Probation” is the state motto) on her arm. She thinks it’s the new thug- style exercise wear.

“Are you a runner?” “Yeah, just picking up today’s bets for Marty.”

Let’s see. It would be awesome for the Star to have a reporter embedded, so to speak, with the Milford High football team. Holly Dobbs level hijinks ensue…

P-1: Heather escapes capture by the Health Equipment Company security team, but only makes off with a single Blood Pressure cuff.

P-2: While Ms. Ducey does her Mime runs into an invisible wall routine, Heather threatens her with a Karate chop she once saw in a movie.

P-3: First episode of season Four of Killing Eve.

Heather looks like she’s reaching for the finishing tape in a race. You can’t run that way the entire time! She’s eventually going to trip and smash her face. Although that may sandpaper off those growths that her and Marjie have developed.

And speaking of developments, see what’s developing over at Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

Anyone have a clue as to what’s being promoted on that poster in P1? Must be some big star who’s going to perform!

There’s no excuse for you.
