Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 23, 2022

Admittedly, my Spanish sucks, but doesn’t “me gusto” mean “I like myself”?

Is Gil about to get his pool cleaned?

I hope the Milford vs Valley Tech game is televised. lol

A little swinging can save a marriage…

Props to Whigham for those P2/P3 looks. Priceless. With that being said, it’s “Lukey” from now on!

So both Thorps are receiving unsolicited kisses… but only one seems upset by this.

And now to our 13th hole cameras at this year’s US Open marriage tournament. Best Ball competition about to start. P2: “The b___ set me up.”

What in the wide world of sports is going on here? If Gil and Mimi have the course to themselves, with Mimi being a pro and Gil a very good golfer, did they catch up to Big Hairy Hand Lukey Hernandez-Martinez and his wife? Is BHHLHM an All Pac-12 golfer and caught up to Gil and Mimi? Is Francesca that good of a golfer too, or is she just driving the cart for Luckey? Her outfit’s accessories are those unlike any female golfer I have seen or have been in a group with.

What’s with BHHLHM wearing two golf gloves? Is his grip compromised by all his HS and PAC-12 championship and MVP rings that he needs the glove for more consistency and stability? Is BHHLHM subtly taunting Gil by wearing his purple Valley Tech shirt at all times like Gil wears his red Milford shirts every day?

While it’s entirely plausible this encounter would take place at Milford CC, wouldn’t the more likely scenario be at the 19th hole where BHHLHM could give Mimi the post-awards ceremony bar gathering play by play of Gil’s flirtation with Bethany the bartender?

P1: Is that a ridiculous pom-pom on BHHL’s hat or a well placed cloud?

P2: Senor Barajas is wading into deep water with his Latin stereotypes. Someone call the Hispanic Anti-Defamation League.

P3: Best stink eye ever I’ve ever seen in a comic strip.

Haha…. It’s Sophia Vergara

For dessert, I’d like an order of warm Strumpet topped with ice cream please.

And remember Mrs. Thorp, if your coaching work isn’t appreciated at Milford, I’ll always have a “position” for you at Valley Tech

Luke is figuring to compromise Gil’s coaching ability by compromising his marriage. Head games…pun not intended.

This should get Mimi going for some make-up action, even if it is out or anger.

Who’s minding the Thorp kids today? Perhaps they’ve found Kylie on the practice green.

How many LatinX stereotypes can they cram into three panels?

I wonder if Valley Tech’s school board even vaguely realizes that they have hired someone that they are going to have to fire?

It’s Antman and The Wasp

Luke’s two gloves…..

Lukey two gloves

Mon Dieu! I will return from the Sahara and bring with me a personalized glass jar of Grey Poupon to impress the beautiful Mademoiselle Mimi as Gil is so lacking in mustard.

I think Gil is closing his one eye because he’s trying to fight back EES. Mimi hates it when he gets EES from other women. And speaking of seeing, you should be seeing Mopped Up Thorp right about now.

So he wears 2 golf gloves, and doesn’t take them off?

Why would either of them think a kiss is appropriate in this situation?

To me it always seems creepy when a woman calls her husband (or boyfriend) “Papi.”

It’s nice when two couples become friends like this.

P-1: Luke ears two gloves to show he swings both ways

P-2: That’s not Luke’s wife. He brought his favorite Bartender, an Old Fashioned Girl.

P-3: 4-3-2-1

Gilli and Mimi must both be left handed golfers…

P4- Gil calls Head Pro John Jawor on his flip phone and tells him he has found more matter to fill the bunker on the road hole. Call the henchmen.

Wow, I love all the evil that these two emit! I’ve been gone for awhile and just read 2 weeks of this storyline to catch up. Gil’s face in P 2 is on point! A dork to the end.

Oh, Papi? ‘Papi’ is a colloquial term for “daddy” in Spanish, so she’s his daughter? And they hold hands. Then again kissing a gloved hand is a serious breach of etiquette. According to Umbert: “It is not appropriate to kiss a gloved hand except the one of a dear friend.” Of which she is not.
