Today’s strip is all about respect. Gil, with bad shaving cut and no styptic pencil to be found, tells True to respect his feelings as he threatens to turn him into Milford’s version of Stephen Strasburg (minus the chin beard and, probably, the high-90s fastball). True returns the respect with an RAF salute.
I’m not sure who this mutton dressed as lamb is in P3, but she shows her respect by calling Gil Mister Thorp. Wonder what kind of respect – or lack thereof – Silent John has left for Gil?

Dood! Classic le Carré storylines have turned on plot twists just like this! RAF salute? – oops, Standish, that’s a tell. Hmmm… “Standish” – isn’t that a British name?
Let’s all watch as Truest bowls up only bouncers, on his way to horrific HB and WHIP stats. He’ll be “shut down” midway thru the first inning…

Gil also means “just for fun” in the sense of “don’t win too many games, I’ve got a standing reservation at the 19th Hole.”
