Marjie Ducey brings up the only thing anyone cares about (with the possible exception of whether Andrew Gregory and Gil are the same 53-year-old man): the number of views of Gil’s wacky viral video! She even takes to chasing Gil down the street as he tries to escape his new-found fame…

I dunno about you, but that cyborg ump is kinda freakin’ me out. Oh and apparently something important is about to happen. Which is good because maybe then we’ll have something to talk about.

Cyborg ump is awesome. The colorized version in my local paper has his whole face colored with the standard skin Milford skin tone, giving the disturbing impression of being a man with no facial features. Just a blob of skin.
Which seems like a poor candidate for being an umpire, but hey – it’s Milford.

I’m pretty sure the message is from Gil’s favorite hit man Cully Vale about how tonight’s the night he’s going to “take care of” Andrew Gregory, and instructions on where to drop the cash. It’s expensive to murder someone in a way that will turn into a bigger viral video and get everyone to stop talking about Gil’s. That’s really the only thing that would make sense at this point.

The ‘he’ on the phone is Marty Moon. He’s concocted a scheme whereby Gil will sue Hatt and Sacko for defamation of character, forcing the cancellation of their show and allowing Marty to return to his old gig.

Talk about a brush off… Gil trying to get busy and Mimi pulls the old “You got an Important Message” card… Litterally!!! :)

It’s Gil’s neurologist. That baseball to the head has given him a aneurysm. In a surprising act of solidarity, Shlepp Dumbo will encourage the entire team to shave their heads. However, just as they all show up bald for the final game of the season, it will be revealed that there was a mix-up at the hospital: Marty Moon is the one with a aneurysm. And thus, having tied up the plot in the most nonsensical fashion, we will move on to the summer adventures of Kaz.
This makes significantly less sense than another Josh’s hypothesis, which is why I believe it’s much more likely. It’s a theory I like to call Thorp’s Razor: The most implausible resolution is usually the most likely one.

#2 – PFM, a few examples of some Gil Thorp color comics are coming soon…Faithful reader Gil’s Barber has sent me some samples from her local paper, and I’ve finally gotten around to scanning them. (Warning: A lot of PINK is involved!)

When did Gil have that womans hand transplanted onto his left wrist?

4/27: I actually think the artwork in the first two panels is unusually decent. I can actually tell what’s going on. Just a fluke, I guess.
#6: Thorp’s Razor sounds like an excellent tool for figuring out what’s going on in Milford.

Gil is copying Adrian from Mary Worth with the face touching. I think he even stole Adrian’s hand.
The important message is from Gil’s proctologist and Mimi is happy that the news is that her sex life with Gil may be over.

#4, I think you mean “Sacco and Hatzetti”.

#10 Regina, let’s hope and pray that Gil doesn’t call Mimi “QUEENIE.”
Mimi: You have a message. He said it was important.
Gil: OK, what’s the message?
Mimi: I just told you.

LOL, I forgot to mention the Queenie reference Gil’sbarber.

And how the heck is that Andrew Gregory? It looks more like Andre Gregory. Can we cut this short, Marjie? I’ve got a dinner date with Wallace Shawn.
