Spring is over. The teams folded. Big Bob is playing the field and Dinny is seeking shelter from hilarious short jokes with a shrunken down version of himself and a mutant wiffle ball. Oh, and maybe this noble act of playing fetch with Jaxxxon will gain him admittance to Darby’s pants. What a feel good story! I feel so good about it that I waited for the last minute to post this lame wrap up. Oh well, bring on some summer thing or other.
Yeah, Darby’s “not big on boys” but she had a kid at age 14 — immaculate conception? Don’t blame you Jason for being bored. We got a better artist on this strip but WTF with the writing? Borrrrriiiiinnnggg.

It’s it me, or does Dinny creep anybody else out? I’m waiting for Dinny to take his first shower with Jaxon.

“Yeah, Darby’s “not big on boys” but she had a kid at age 14″
It’s been established that the father was in his late 20s or early 30s — not a “boy”.

Until I saw the 7/2 strip, it had not occurred to me that 6/30 was the end of the story.
Way to wrap things up: just stop writing.

Dinny is creepy but nowhere near as creepy as Big Bob Stuff in 6/22 P3 and 6/23 P3. Jaxxxxxxxon 6/29 P2 reminds me of Jay Sherman’s kid in The Critic.

When’s our tee time at Milford Country Club?
Comment by Dood — July 2, 2012 @ 7:51 am
Golf.

6/30 P3 Umm, if Darbs isn’t big on boys why is she letting her mutant kid paw her chest? Sick, sick, sick.

Is Darby’s mom about to do some old fashioned “Kids in the Hall” skull crushing in 6/29 p1?

After years of cruel locker-room taunting, Dinny finally has a friend who’s his size. Awww!
Unexpurgated Darby: “I’m not big on boys, so I’ll settle for a really small one.”
Unexpurgated Jaxxxon: “Mmmm, snack-size playmate!”
Okay, on to golf.

Everyone has forgotten: before golf starts, there is always one day’s comic where Gildo and Mimi have drinks outside before doing the dirty.
And today is the day!

Dirty joke that didn’t come to me in time for the post:
The way Dinny is staring at that ball in panel 3 of 6/30, I think he’s imagining grabbing Darby like she’s a six-pack.

Okay, enough with Dimwit and Monkey boy, I see in yesterday’s comic Gil and Mimi are getting freaky…sounds like a little S&M talk is going on between those two!
Also what’s up with Darby’s hand in the last panel…it look like her hand has a thought balloon going on. Maybe “Talk to the hand, Dimlow”.

The worst part is that this could have been sort of a sweet storyline, with Darby finding out that Dinny really likes her and her kid, that not everyone judges her harshly for being a teen mom, etc. Instead, it’s weird and ham-handed.
On the other hand, weird and ham-handed is what I love about Gil Thorp. Bring on the golf!

“Weird and ham-handed” covers it, Jules. Have to love the 7/2 strip, in which we completely mark time: the once-a-year authority figure greets Gil at the golf club, Gil shockingly decrees that he prefers running the junior program to baling hay, and the unidentified doofus of the year makes his first appearance in p 3. Think I’ll paint a room so I can watch it dry.
