    Heā€™s only pegging what he felt he heard from Rosaā€™s own wordsā€¦ he may be so to her, but maybe someone else will appreciate those qualities in him.. he just has to take stock in not only if heā€™s right for her, but if sheā€™s right for him ā€¦..

    -Gunther says as he observes Quillā€™s untucked shirt.-If you look more closely, youā€™ll see that Quillā€™s jacket, which is what is facing Gunther, is longer than his untucked shirt. So Gunther probably canā€™t see the shirt. What he is probably commenting on is how much later Quill is getting in from the dance than he himself didā€¦.

    I think Quill living at Guntherā€™s is just what Gunther needs. Having shared a room with my older brother, it was always good to have that other point of view. The best advice he ever gave me in 1963 was to enlist in the navy and avoid the draft. I did and it was a great learning and growing experience.

    -There should be no fear of rejection here-But this is the true hallmark of shyness and fear of failure: you donā€™t believe you are ā€˜entitledā€™ to the attention of the loved one, so you can never quite believe that you and your attentions are welcome. I remember high school days when (VERY briefly) some of the ā€˜inā€™ crowd were willing to let me spend time with them. Of course, I had this skill at copying their Momā€™s signatures so I could write them absence excuses. As soon as that novelty wore off, so did the attention.

    I can see that same resigned disbelief in self in Guntherā€¦.

    The quilt matches Gunthā€™s shirts very well, and his headboard and footboard are so mauve. The pillowcase is white, so it isnā€™t part of a sheet set or bed in a bag. And those jammies. Starry, starry night. Loosen up, Gunth. Iā€™m not so sure you should listen to Quill though. He didnā€™t even unbutton his jacket at Makeout Ridge.

    Mr. L, we donā€™t see Frank and Nancy having sex, so why should we see Brad and Toni? However, one only has to view the Dec. 7th single panel to know that they do. Are we to assume that having finished there tea or whatever, Brad sends Toni home?

    -ā€œDisbeliefā€ is an accurate term. Of course, it is practically the same thing as Gunther thinking that Rosa is lying to him.-Not to split hairs, but the term I used was ā€˜disbelief in selfā€™. The meaning was not that a person saying ā€˜I love youā€™ is lying; the meaning is that the recipient of those words is not deserving of themā€¦.

    I insist I am right because no one can show otherwise-what ā€¦. said:-Since Nancy (nor Frank) are often shown in the strip as brushing their teeth and other preparations for bed, but have NEVER been shown having a bath or shower (nor other private bodily functions) then we can only assume that Nancy (and Frank) really stinks.-Sometimes, you just have to take a certain amount for granted because thereā€™s no way it could be shown in a family comicā€¦.

    Gunther was created as the quintessential nerd type. Evans would have to seriously re-cast him as a different type to effect needed changes to his personality, much as Brad was recast from the slovenly potato headed big brother to more of an ā€œeverymanā€ character.

    ^^Well said, Gunther should stay Gunther.I guess we can assume that Rosa didnā€™t dump him, but, he is feeling very insecure about the relationship, since Rosa ā€œput her cards on the tableā€.

    -That would solve a multitude of problems.-But it would leave you with so little left to write about, here at least. Just the same olā€™ stuff about Brad and Toni and Nancy the cougar. Donā€™t you ever get bored with the same stuff, over and over?- You said you write novels, and itā€™s too bad we couldnā€™t figure a way of getting them somewhere that we could read them. Maybe you just need to start a blog and bring bits of your writing to post on this board each day. A refreshing change of paceā€¦.

    YER ALL WRONG...I lost track of all the claims, just felt like saying that..TJ is currently a semi-wunnerful personBrad and Toni give all evidence of up close and personal, but until it is spelled out, we can pretend/assume there is only unquinchhed desire.Characters can show development, even Dirk and Shannon and Brad.Nancy is not a cougar, just a hottie attractive lady.Next year Lev will be on the best seller list.Gunther is being reasonable to doubt he is worthy of Rosa, but he WILL be..And no matter how certain I might pretend to be, I am cluelessly enjoying the comic and comments.

    Gunther would be just as big a Dweeb with Luann as he is with Rosa. Rosa is practically throwing herself at him, and he is not confident enough to do anything about it. Guntherā€™s problems have nothing to do with his feelings about his girlfriend; they have to do with his feelings about himself, sex, and life in general.
