Transcript:
Mrs. Berger: "Here're my boys! How were your days?"
Quill :"Better now!"
Truck: "HONK!"
Mrs. Berger: "Goodness! What's that ?"
Quill: "My job"
Gunther: "Pretty handy when your job comes and picks you up"
Greg doesnât seem to be in any rush to resolve the issue of where TJ, Brad, or Toni will live, once Brad and Toni get married. He keeps hinting theyâll end up adopting Shannon, so they need to get hitched soon if they want the adoption to happen anytime soon.
âA phrase never before uttered by a native and well-formed speaker of the English language: âhow were your days?â."
Well, âHow was your day?â would not be correct, because each had their own individual day, and one could have had a good day and the other not so good. Substitute any other plural noun and the phrase works.
So, whoâs taking action on what this arcâs going to entail? Unless itâs about Qâs USCIS status being put in jeopardy by his working for TJ (and, thus, Luâs access to Q), Iâm not sure. I canât think it would be about TJ trying to scam Q for some reason. Also, I havenât seen him enroll in school yet, so I donât know whatâs up with that, yet.
Anyway, Iâll be âin transitâ for a few days so Iâll catch up with you then, maybe by Wednesday.
Seismic-2. Just a little nitpick, but it might show that you are not up to date: INS no longer exists, itâs now the USCIS. The INS ceased to exist in March 2003, when its functions were transfered to three new departments: USCIS for immigration and naturalization, the USICE for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and USCPB for Customs and Border Protection.
Nothing like fresh-baked, still-warm cookies after a hard day at school for the boysâQuill especially seems appreciative of Mrs. Bergerâs thoughtfulness. And how cushy, to have your workplace come to you! No commuter issues (for the employee; the mobile workplace may, on the other hand, have all sorts of traffic woes).
Work permits are offered to F-1 visa holders for on-campus employment and for Optional Practical Training (OPT). The OPT must be related to your course of study (principally science, engineering, and other technical fields). As a high-school student, neither one of these work permit criteria apply to Quill.
I donât know why I didnât think of this sooner! TJ usually has a mug on his face with a sort of wide grinâŠ. War has a song called: âWhy Canât We Be Friends?ââŠ. the design on the cover also has one of those âCâmon! You can trust me!â kind of looks, like here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/War-WhyCan%27tWeBeFriends.jpg
The issue here is not so much concern about the impact of Quillâs job on the US economy as that Quill, who is being portrayed as a great guy whom Luann should love and we readers should admire, is in fact violating the law. Does Greg Evans not know this, or simply not care about it, or actually want to let Quill be a bit of a âbad boyâ? (Working with TJ is certainly a huge step in that direction!)
As big as that thing is, it seems more like just a large window (I use the height of the Bergers who ae standing ânearer to usâ in the last panel as reference, although where Quill is, does seem to make it look more like a door⊠but given that his legs arenât being shown, Iâd say that it was just a very large window)âŠ. Of course, though, Iâm sure Greg isnât really keeping records about the designs of everyoneâs houses from then till now, thoughâŠ. â In addition, where we just moved to, our bedroom window is pretty big like that, where itâs wide, and only about two feet up from the floor, goes up pretty far, up to only about a foot or so from the ceilingâŠ
> Evansâ reality is whatever he makes it to be.>True. In the Luannverse, itâs OK to raise children to bite people, at least so long as they are âbad peopleâ. Mr. Evans certainly has the right to promote that approach to child-rearing (which would be totally illegal, to say nothing of immoral, in the real world), but I just donât think we should all stand up and cheer when he does do.
Ah yes, did Quill get a work permit ? Did TJ bother to get any permits at all ? Will Ann Eiffel rat âem out and get âem busted ? Will Tiffany play the âDaddyâ card, bail âem out and put Quill in her debt ? Stay tuned.
It is no longer called a âFast Food Restaurant,â but a QSR or âQuick Service Restaurant.â We must be politically correct. ^And dodgeball is no longer played, and recess has almost all but been eliminated, along with music programs at school, and physical ecucation, and âhaving to hand out awardsâ for everyone and everything, just in case anyoneâs feelings get a bit hurt⊠-We must realize where to draw the line between giving respect and tolerance, (which is what we really should be seeking) and the uncomfortable, superficially expected phenomenon that has become the catch-all âbuzz wordâ, âPolitically Correctâ.
Interestingly true! And sounds like a Yogi Berra-ism⊠â BTW, sarcastic joke of the week: âI canât stand elitistsâŠâ They are so beneath me!âŠ. (XD)
On the other hand, if youâre so fragile that reading even one comment that you disagree with ruins your good time, you should seek some kind of professional help.

This is delightful that eveyone has a hand in making Quill feel welcome. And helpful to Luann.

And Quill has already violated his student visa. Call the INS, itâs deportation time.

And toss TJ in the pen, for hiring an illegal.

So, if he ever gets a ticket, then he can call it âfast foodâ! âŠ.

So how about this for a slogan, since TJ was still looking for one? âProud food, from a humble truck.â

Bad Quill. Depriving deserving Americans their rightful careers in the food truck industry.
LOL!!!!!

Look like TJâs van is Brown again. Had a mood ring that would change color, maybe TJâs Cafe changes color with the menu.

Wow someone must have notice the comments back on Oct 7th about the color of the van and changed it to match the previous drawings.

T.J, is supposedly rich, so I would assume he can afford to hire a lawyer to make sure his and Quillâs paperwork is all in order.
