    #2: Why is it that this directer always seem to have her nose in the air? Is she incredibly snooty or does she just have a bad nose bleed (said with sarcasm)

    Luann should make a trip to the camp and speak to someone face to face about why her application was rejected. It’s obviously not too far from her home. Because her parents shuttled Quill on the Fourth, to and from the camp.

    Both Gunther and Quill could vouch for Luann’s wonderful performance as Maria in “West Side Story.”

    Actually, Quill—and Evans—made it pretty clear it’s not OK nor desireable.

    And in the real world—if a teenage guy sneaked a kiss and a photo from a teenage girl—she would probably not even tell anyone because people would say she asked for it, or worse, a slut. Rape is underreported for those reasons.

    Remember that Tiffany is Greg’s easiest character to write for and that Greg gets his motivation from teen dramas nowadays instead of his own daughter. Even when every other storyline has been resolved, Luann/Tiffany will never be resolved because Greg Evans is not Tom Batiuk.

    Why is everyone saying Luann should take over Tiffany’s role in the play? (1) The camp is full of actresses who qualified for admission (probably all of them had the lead in their own high school plays!), so there are dozens of replacements available there already who have paid their money and who have been studying drama intensely all summer. There’s absolutely no need to bring in Luann (or anyone else) new to the camp. (2) Tiffany may not be happy working with Quill, but she was chosen as the lead (beating out all the other girls there), so she is a good actress and she is enough of a dedicated professional to do her job, however she feels about her co-star.

    This whole thing works. Elwood is using Tiffanyand camp to A) Divide Luann, Quill. Protect Elwood’sInterest. (Remember? He dined Luann, showedoff fine dinner houses he owned, his wealth.Proposed to her @ dinner, gave her a ring, etc…)B) Serves Tiff’s interest, deliberately throws hertogether with Quill. Gives her a chance. C) GivesElwood a hat in the ring, he is also talent scout, movies, plays, etc, good place to pick up talent.I knew Tiff was not smart enough for all thison her own.

    I agree with you Ken. This is typical bully behavior. They single a person out and once they discover their weakness, they have an easy victim to taunt and have “fun” at their expense. Bullies have very low self-esteem, and feel the need to hurt others to feel superior. Maybe in future panels we will see Tiffany get the help she needs. Good for Quill for standing up for his feelings. Hope miss goody-two-shoes gets the message.

    Qill and Luann should have checked around for another drama camp instead of applying to the one Tiff suggested. Any drama camp that would accept Tiff can’t have very high standards. She’s not exactly a major talent, but since she got the lead in the play, that must mean the talent level of the rest of the girls in camp is roughly zero.

    I’m becoming (slightly) interested in the character Tiffany.

    For whatever reason, I’ve gotten the impression that Tiffany really believes most of the stuff she presents about herself. At least on the outside. If Quill’s forthrightness cracks that delusional shell and rub her nose in reality, it could be shattering. Maybe not. Probably not. However, possible results could be depression/withdrawal, severe anti-social behavior, personality flip (i.e. resulting in neediness) or even the beginning of maturation. Yeah, she could, maybe, start to grow up. Hidden amongst all the fluff that is Tiffany are some good things. (Look at Gunther’s makeover.)

    But, this is a COMIC strip. That limits her possible changes – if any – to ‘G’ rated behavior. Or maybe PG13.

    As @dfowensby said above, I’d like to see a little more ‘grit’ in this strip. No, that doesn’t mean Luann should get pregnant, but perhaps Tiffany could have a scare and use that as a springboard for a little more depth in the strip as well as Tiffany.

    Agreed. Even though Tiffany was only an “extra” in an unreleasable film, it is a professional credit on her resume, and that counts with casting directors! Furthermore, she worked as a “gopher” in the production, and that really shows dedication to learning her craft (plus it teaches you the real business of how movies are made). Tiffany really puts some effort into advancing herself professionally, instead of just looking through college catalogs and saying “Julliard sounds good. Maybe I’ll apply there. Or my local community college, whatever.” Tiffany already has the credentials that a casting director would notice, and she had every right to feel confident that she would be accepted at the drama camp. Every girl in the camp has no doubt had a big role in their local H.S. play or musical, but Tiffany has made genuine effort to move to the next level beyond that,

    In the 1965 movie, “Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines”, Stu Whitman, the leading man, made a very unwelcome pass at Sarah Miles, the leading lady, halfway through filming. It really put their relationship in the deep freezer. She hated his guts, to put it succinctly.

    Luckily in the film, her character has to choose between his character and another guy, and it isn’t until the very last scene that we see them together as lovers. Even with that one scene, the two actors wouldn’t smile at each other, so the director had to substitute individual closeups of them supposedly making googly eyes at each other. In actual fact they were making those eyes at somebody else off camera.

    More likely Ms Manezon just remembered Luann as the hopeless art student who couldn’t glue three shapes to a piece of paper. It’s possible Tiffany was always a pet of hers, which would also explain why Sheraton and her supposed toy got the leads in the play.

    I agree that Tiffany probably has better skills at puffing up her portfolio than Luann does. Luann could have included things like reading to the kids, being runner up in the beauty pageant, the songs she recorded with Quill. I suspect the only thing she thought to put on there was the school production of West Side Story. One thing Tiffany is good at is making everything she does seem as important as possible.

    Regardless , it’s unlikely that Jonah would attend a camp for High schoolers, unless he was a teacher, he has a 6 year old daughter, so, it’s unlikely he is within the age limit. (Not to mention that summer is the busy time for an itinerant actor, lots of summer stock and summer festivals to keep him busy)

    There is also the odd way time works in their world. Shannon might have been born 6 years ago when Toni was the exact same age she is now.

    Not trying to get into politics…. but maybe “Guantanimo” could’ve been a better sell if they used those songs, instead of the other stuff?

    Lev I’ve enjoyed your more social comments of late today. Just watch that uninhibited singing in the garden.

    Meanwhile if I recall, Tiff had a “plan.” So far I’ve seen no plan unless she had already somehow kept Luann out of camp. As you said, a major illegal transgression.

    And how is Luann going to get drawn back into this strip? Right now she’s so vicarious, just holding a phone most of the time.
