Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 20, 2021

How many cons can a con man con if a con man could con cons?

P2 OK, somebody help me….what the deuce is Heather doing??P3 If Carter were to send a check does anybody want to guess how much it would be for and how he would determine the amount? Totally unrealistic!!!

P3.5 regardless, our boy Cart is done here because he’s been exposed and word of mouth will kill his scam, all he can do is move and find a new club to run his con

P2 Ummmmm….I went internet ninja and tapped a few keys, just like any of you brainiacs could have

In all reality , do you have a mouse in your pocket , where do you come up with We can con a con man ? You just got played by a con man .You’re right Heather let’s keep it our secret . Okay chump !

Appreciate a dose of realism today. Yesterday makes sense as a bluff. Will the company manufacturing industrial solvents need to start looking for a new employee? Next summer’s story arc?

P1, Pro John Jawor suddenly got much younger and red-headed but no less portly.

P2, Hmm, could this be a third job offer for Heather from Milford CC? Not bad for someone who had no offers at all at the beginning of this story until Gil threw her a bone.

P3, Even if he does send a check, good luck trying to cash it.

Three days of triple digits snarking and likes for the Summer plot. Either our lives are as mundane as Milford town folk or we enjoyed a punching bag other than Marty Moon. The ghost of Alan Napier played the part of The Prez brilliantly, just as stiff and non threatening as Bruce Wayne’s butler.

On to Milford Town Park City Lake for a few Hoos.

P 1 CH thought balloon: “…I wonder if that Heather chick is seeing anyone…”

P 2.5: “…this? (points at computer)….3rd or 4th grade…”

I am going to so miss the Cart man….averaging over 130 comments a day the last 4 days. Has anyone ever done this?

The first high school football games are tonight. The head coach and the tight end coach have yet to show up for a practice and are hanging out at the Country Club together. How about a Milford Star story about this matter?

Wow, that’s what makes someone a reporter? They just Google people? I guess I’m a reporter, maybe The Star will hire me too! And for more than just shining their floors.

And speaking of reporting, I’m here to report that the latest and greatest Mopped Up Thorp is online. With a cameo appearance by another famous comic star.

P1 – What’s with the box Cart-man is taking with him? Was he living out of the locker room or something?

P2 – While amazingly nobody’s shirt changed color this week, Heather’s laptop has had some magical changes. The stickers she had all over it while doing her “reporters job” at home disappeared when she when to the Thorps. And were still missing while presenting her evidence at the CC. But, upon packing up today, they’re back!

P3 – The dialog reads as if the writer heard our complaints yesterday about the absurdity of what he demanded and came up with an explanation to satisfy us.

Yes, you can con a con man. After all, we’ve been conned into following this strip!!

I like to think that in the future, this guy will introduce himself by saying, “Hi, I’m exposed hustler Carter Hendricks.”

So with this whole golf hustler/witness protection/cub reporter nonsense tidily wrapped up, what’s the morning line on this year’s football story? Transgender athletics? Point shaving? A Valley championship? (just kidding) I gotta check with Vito from Goshen.

Maybe you can con a con man, but you can’t bullsh!t a bullsh!tter.

P1 is showing one the boxes of all the club trophies he’s taking.P3 I hope Heather takes the tip money the members give her and spends it on a nose job. I think she now has the pick of any job in town after impressing these Milford gomers.

Blue! Was pick the best choice of words after a reference to a nose job?
