    Gunth, you’re going to regret letting Luann place that pic there, when you realise you still love Luann, the last thing you need is those regrets that this jerk from down under stole her just as you and she were finally getting close… murder is illegal of course but, if only he had a little…. accident :p

    Gunther did a great job decorating the room! The pinup is reminiscent of Rosa.

    Gunther has a stupid mom. She’s strict about pointless things, but doesn’t care if he sets up a poster of a lady in a bikini on his wall?

    The subject of Quill’s staying with Gunther first arose on August 5. There, Quill says “I talked to Gunther about rooming at his house”. The subject was mentioned again on August 9, when Luann tells her parents that Quill “even talked to Gunther about rooming at his house.” Most telling, Just this Monday (October 7), Gunther’s Mom tells Quill on the phone, “Your room will be ready, Quill.” Now we see that Quill doesn’t have a room – he will be living with Gunther in the same bedroom. Does he even know this? And just where is this headed?

    Looks like there is not a separate sewing room; there is Gunther’s sewing machine next to his bed. It might just be a small two bedroom apartment.

    Donny, I don’t want to be super critical of you because sometimes you have interesting things to say. In fact, yesterday I believe it was, I was reading a post and really enjoying what was being said (don’t remember which one), and when I glanced up and noticed it was you, I was like omg, that was a really good post from Donny! So what I’m trying to say is, who really cares how many posts so and so has or who posts first? It sounds like you really have an ax to grind with your constant harping of this issue. It’s getting tiresome, please stop. My advice is to stick with the relevant topics. Please.

    If Quill is in fact an “Aussie surfer dude”, then the poster of the bikini babe on the beach would be completely appropriate. However, until Gunther described him as such to his Mom, we never had an indication that Quill does in fact surf. Rather, the only thing that we know about Quill (and probably the only background that Greg bothered to invent for him) is that he is interested in acting. Although Gunther’s part of the room is decorated with things suggesting his own interests, he has put nothing on the wall that is associated with the theater, such as posters of plays or pictures of playwrights or actors. Gunther is clearly projecting his own “he-man” fantasies onto his man crush Quill, rather than preparing for the arrival of a real person.

    “The book on string theory he has in his bookshelf is interesting. I have one also. I looked thru it and have no idea at all about what it says or means. . . .”

    That book is probably just too esoteric for the likes of us! There are some layman’s versions that are far more understandable.

    I gotta get my two cents worth in—

    1) Luann could have brought the photo over with the intention of adding it to the nightstand, figuring Gunther wouldn’t have one or wouldn’t think of it. It’s in her left hand in panel 1. Alternate— nothing to say how much time passed between panels 1 and 2. She could have gone home and fetched the photo.

    2) Gunther is over Luann. He has Rosa. If he were trying to keep Lu and Qu apart, why’d he volunteer to host Quill in the first place?

    3) Everything else on Quill’s side of the room is Aussie-related. Australia has some fabulous beaches, tourism posters of which will naturally feature attractive people. A poster of a young, hot hunk would obviously be weird, so Gunth went with the bikini babe.

    4) I seriously doubt the door has been removed. Sometimes, it just makes it easier to draw a strip without having to make sure every little detail will stand up to scrutiny.

    Oh Isn’t that Sweet? Gunther has has got the bedroom all AUSSIFIED for the Inevitable arrival of Q-Boy!

    Why, Gunt has even Desecrated an Australian Flag by using it as a bedspread and impaled a baby kangaroo with a table lamp so Mr. Wonderful can feel Right at Home!

    All that if Left now is to See Who’s FIRST to the Airport to Pick Up Pretty Boy: Luann in Her Dad’s Car or Gunther on His “Huffy Bike.”

    I should comment that Australians are not anywhere as nationalistic as USA folks. Quill would be likely to privately cringe when he sees the room decorations. Whenever I visit the US I find it awkward when US folks regularly sing national anthems and hold their hand on their heart etc. Australians are no less proud, but more private with their endearment to their country.
