Fun facts about today’s strip:
- First year caddy Noah Boone’s name is an anagram for A Neon Hobo.
- You can earn big money as a caddy!
- Dr. Jeffrey Zonder is board certified in oncology. Perhaps he should take a look at the suspicious growths on his caddy’s face.
- Ambition means one thing to Gil Thorp: Maybe this ambitious, sore shouldered gent can be easily conned into leading junior golfers in their swing drills for the rest of the summer!
- MCC is 1200 in Roman numerals. 1200 is the number of ounces of beer you have to drink before you can even think about writing a blog entry for this crap.
As Dr Zonder seems a bit young to be an old friend of Neal’s, let’s hope he is not the new oncologist for Rubin or a family member, i.e. hoping the “Big C” is not now a part of his life.

Hold on, I think Dr. Zonder is Dr Zaius in a moustache.

Ned, I thought Dr. Zonder was Mr. Bakst back from his long sojourn in Charleston.
This silliness has only gone on a few days and already I’m bored.
I think light bulb head may be Uncle Fester from the Addams family.

Haha – Uncle Fester – good one, Regina!
Of course, everyone knows the other guy is Gil – hands on hips in his smug-ass position. Zonder should just drop a few golf balls right there and launch a few 3 irons in Gil’s direction!

I have long thought that the Gil Thorp characters should be accompanied by Dick Tracy style explanatory boxes so we can tell them apart.
These boxes should include AGE.
Alternatively, they should all agree to wear a tattoo with their age on it. This plan is flawed, but it would take them several years to see it.

Oh, Dr. Zonder is obviously General Zod from the Superman movie. In between the first panel and the second, he vaporized his injured caddy with the blink of an eye. No wonder the suddenly sweaty Noah is anxious to tote his golf bag; he fears for his imminent destruction.
KNEEL BEFORE ZONDER!

I thought “Dr. Zonder” was Coach Shaw’s secret summer identity and the means for sneaking onto the hallowed grounds of Milford Country Club. He’s got to be careful, though, because if Gil sees through his disguise, he’ll be speedily dispatched back to the sangria-making mines.
