8/21/10
Swell, if the third panel is to be believed, this is all going to degrade into gay porn. Oh well…it would still beat an entire week of a boring golf tournament featuring cardboard characters.
8/23/10
Awwwww crap. Did he just say there’s a long way to go? This is the first time I ever hoped that gay porn in Gil Thorp would happen, just to liven things up.
8/24/10
Hmm, a little hand foreplay in panel two. That’s something.
Hey wait a minute! Gil is standing awfully close to Torrey there. And those two creepy pervs sure are enjoying watching something. (So clearly they can’t be watching golf.) It looks like Gil found the back entrance to the clubhouse! Great…I’m no longer bored, but I’m sure as hell sick to my stomach.

8/21 panel 2: “Valley Junior Open.” Jeez, Torrey, no need to advertise.

8/24 P3: Absolutely Jason! All 4 facial expressions reveal the ‘activity’. Gil: “If these guys keep it up they’ll both break 70; if I can keep it up I’m a’goin’ to the front door, too!”

The first panels of 8/23 and 8/24 are this strip’s most competent depiction of sports action in months. That’s sad, made even sadder by the fact that they are depicting golf.
Save us football season! Save us Marty Moon!

Free Marty Moon!

when did Torrey have time to change her top and is Gil smiling because he gets to rub behind Torrey???

Funny, the 8/24 strip made no mention of the banished, banned, overbearing and cheating Mr. Peake. How will new readers know what’s going on? Yeah, Rubin and Whigham in panel 3, I’m asking you.
Comment by Dood — August 24, 2010 @ 8:49 am
I know what the golf tournament needs — the most interesting couple in Milford! Where have they been lately? Charleston with Mr. Baskt?
Is that Carl in p#3 with the dark sunglasses and a blond wig?

C’mon fans. Noted sensitivity coach Seinfeld (who likes em young) taught us that “there is nothing wrong” with the man on man Ace v Gary love shown in 8/24/10 panel two. And fully clothed barebacking is now allowed at all non-PGA events, see Panel 3. This is a very balanced panel, all about the beauty of love sweet love.
Where the hell is football season? This is no time for golf? Or is the mythical midwest location of Gil Thorp on a totally different calendar than the rest of the sports loving USA?

Kemper is playing in cargo shorts, but what gets me is no hat and no sunglasses. I have to use both. He’s tough.
Comment by freehawk — August 24, 2010 @ 9:47 am
“Keep it up”
heh heh
Somebody ask Gil and Torrey what is one under 70???
Story idea for next time.
Comment by freehawk — August 24, 2010 @ 9:48 am
By Carl Peake’s plus-fours and all that is Tilden, is Gil speaking to Rubin and Whigham when he says, “If these guys keep it up, they’ll both break 70?” Does that mean being syndicated to more than 70 newspapers (yeah, ha, I know)? Otherwise this strip has long been sub-par.

Why is Torrey fondling that midget in panel 3?
Comment by Scott de B. — August 24, 2010 @ 10:51 am
8/24 panel 2: Why are Chris and Kemper going all 9 Chickweed Lane in Gil Thorp-land?
Comment by Dood — August 24, 2010 @ 11:06 am
Haha, Kemper Peake grounded his club in the bunker! Two stroke penalty!
High fiven’ handsecks guys, alright!
As for panel 3, well, it reminds me of my favrorite golf picture ever!!!
Also the background guy is wearing a shirt from the Glenn Quagmire collection.

Torrey’s awlful quick to give up her brother for gay sex!
Wait’ll Mimi finds out Gil is heading into Mr. Kessler territory! Not that Mimi gives a rat’s ass…she’s spent all summer with Julio the pool boy.
I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with Torrey’s hand in panel three of the third strip. It looks like it melted into perv #1′s shirt.

HAHAHA, Ned!

8/24 P3. Matt the Hatt and Ponczak from 2030 got in the Hot Tub Time Machine and came back to watch the Gilmeister in action. The years have not been kind to them.

#17 DieClambakeDie, you mean 6-9 Jeff Ponczak, the Sack-o-crap?
Comment by Dood — August 24, 2010 @ 2:26 pm
that smile tells me gil is playing more then pocket pool in panal 3. torrey already having chris hard driver at breakfest manages to put up with gils soft putter .
Comment by mr120zcan — August 24, 2010 @ 4:06 pm
P3 just needs a few well-placed motion lines and maybe a few gratuitous popping sweat beads and…giggety!
Comment by Sgt Saunders — August 25, 2010 @ 1:05 am
Why is Kemper using his putter to hit out of a bunker? I’ve never seen anyone hit a bunker shot with a club with no loft before.

#18 Dood, The one and only. He apears shorter because he is hunched over. His weak heart can’t handle the action.
