    The hockey team better start selling vapes so they can buy some sticks.

    Looks like Meemaw served the papers to Gil while he was busy carving the Thanksgiving turkey.

    Let E(MeMe)ly tell them. It’s her decision, she can ‘splain it to Keri and Jami.

    It’s gonna be a long winless season if Cami can’t figure out that you need sticks to play hockey. It will be entertaining when Cami goes over the boards and jumps into on-ice brawls.

    Gil gets around. Monday actually shows up to a practice to introduce himself. Tuesday he is at wrestling practice talking with Dr. Pearl and today he is at hockey practice. It seems everyone else is coaching except for him but what else is new. I am glad they put “Milford Recreational Ice Center” in P1. I thought maybe it was the cafeteria with another A+ job by our stellar custodian! Shouldn’t they all skate the same way during drills or are they practicing checking? It kind of reminds me of the old vibrating table top hockey games.

    Great idea for a fresh new spinoff comic, “My two Moms”.

    The Thorp’s were a 2 income family. Mimi hasn’t taught/worked in almost a year and a half. Where does she get the funds to frolick with her new love interest? Is Mimi a trust fund baby? I think not. Shake it off GT. You’re the freaking Gilfather.

    C’mon guys . Haven’t you watched Hoosi? rs. Coach Dale’s (Gene Hackman) first practices were without a basketball - “Basketball is more than shooting. It’s about fundamentals.” Those guys look like they need some serious practice just learning to skate.

    Break it to the kids? Ain’t it obvious? Even Jami’s not that dumb.

    P1: This must be one of those plastic rinks. I haven’t seen too many teams practice in short sleeves on ice. Then again, it looks a lot more like roller derby than ice hockey.

    I read (well, look at) this strip every day, and I couldn’t tell you who Cami is.

    Wonder how many high schools have a recreation ice center. When I was in HS, we had a hockey team, but no ice rink. We partnered with another school, which also didn’t have an ice rink and played out games at the local state park owned rink. The local university also played their games there as well. Building and maintaining an ice arena is a very costly operation requiring a continuous flow of expenses, most school districts do not have. Just the cost of a Zamboni Machine is prohibitive in most cases.

    Tomorrow:P1: [Mimi and Ericka at MeeMaw’s bedside]: “Over my dead body, you rug munchers!”P2: [Mimi smothers MeeMaw with her own pillow. Rod gets to draw a bunch of flailing hands]P3: [Mimi and Ericka walk away hand-in-hand as an obscure Melissa Etheridge b-side plays in the background]

    P 4 (Gil): “… oh yeah Cami?… well for the past year, she’s had no moms, so Mimi and what’s her a$$ can go take flying f*** for all I care…”

    “Keri is a violent little tramp, by the way.”

    “Valid.”

    “Your house stinks up the block because your mother in law has been dead in there for months apparently.”

    “Also valid.”

    “No one has heard a word about Luke’s kid since the helicopter took him away, leading to internet chatter that he’s being held in Gitmo without medical care.”

    “Painfully valid.”

    “Taylor Swift was here and then it was like she never was here”

    “Definitely valid.”

    “People just disappear in Milford Gil. Well, back to hockey.”

    “Yeah, see you in June.”

    Pretty much the only way to save this strip is to fire the author, then do a hard re-boot, Bobby Ewing-style.

    As I mentioned on TWIM, the most appropriate scenario is for the Hanson Brothers to appear on the scene. Hey, who wouldn’t want to watch one of the Hansons beating the daylights out of Jami Thorp because, well, he’s Jami?

    This is kind of cool. Looks like a fight broke out in P1, and it’s only the first practice. Nobody’s going to want to face the Mudlarks. And speaking of facing, it’s time to face the release of today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
