Gil and “Emily” getting divorced? Can it be? Anyone want to lay odds on this one? Will the climactic moment be when they get back together by joining forces against Big Bad Hernandez? Or is it Martinez? Compare August 8 (Hernandez) to August 12 (Martinez). Maybe to Marty all these Hispanic names sound alike?
Keri multiple earrings, check. Nose stud, check check. Waiting to see the branding she had done in Malaysia by the sweatshop owner. She wants Mimi’s riding crop. Time to Lord of Discipline some school boys.
Keri is fast becoming my “new” favorite character in this strip. Those years in Southeast Asia, where while making State Champ Gil memorabilia and the latest rage – a pair of ‘Emily’ glasses, she seems to have honed her teenage ‘in your face’ rhetoric.
Wait – Keri was facing the beach, now Mimi walks over to her and there’s a house and landscaping between them and the ocean? Holy continuity, Batman! And speaking of continuity, there is rarely much of it found day to day in Mopped Up Thorp.
I agree that this script is not the traditional sports oriented story line that we are used to. If Barajas wants to comment on marital issues, go somewhere else.
I see where this is going. Gil & Mimi split. In the settlement, Mimi gets all the coaching jobs, Gil gets the kids, has to accept an assistant job to Martinez to support them.

Emily? Mimi’s real name? Or is this a version of “bye, Felicia,” which I saw a few times and had to ask my daughters to explain?

Keri sounds pretty jaded for a kid, but maybe she’s 23.

Ever since Henry Barajas took over, this script has sucked!

This script is like a really bad movie. You feel compelled to stay tuned in just to see how bad it will get.

Meanwhile back at Milford, in the locker room after football practice…have you noticed Mimi has gone from a “C” cup to a “D” cup?

It appears that Kerri used the time well in the jungles of Southeast Asia to take up Buddhism and has evolved to have a Zen-like wisdom.

I want to know the “coffee, tea, or me” girl was on Gil’s plane. Emily’s replacement?

If I wanted a soap opera, I could read Mary Worth. What I want is wacky sports action.

The calls aren’t incoming anymore now that Gil’s on the 19th with Marty, but when they do, they will be interesting.

Hold it, does Keri wonder if Gil knows that Mommy and Daddy are having issues, or if he knows that it’s affecting Keri? I can’t tell.
