    Okay… Here’s that pretzel, coming up!!… A salted, with a twist!!!…-So, I take it, there’s still some more “soap” in the wash?… – Will Gunther’s “stand-up routine” sit well with Les?… Is there a purpose in his proposal?…Is that his way of “buttering Rosa up”?… – Could this possibly be the “law of uninended consequences”, coming back to bite everyone (including Crystal) on the butt?…Will it lead to a “rash” of bad things?….

    Oh,Oh…I just noticed that Gunther shouted “NO”…this is not going to be good for him…or maybe his reaction is showing that he doesn’t have to play Mr. Milquetoast anymore…that his confidence in himself Has risen? ;)

    “…Leslie’s approach here would be socially unacceptable.” This is true. There’s not one girl from my high school senior year that would accept…they’d more than likely laugh in his face (now it has been Quite Some Time since I was a senior in high school! ;)

    The next words out of Gunther’s mouth need to be “I’m taking her.”

    That shuts Leslie up AND gets him in good with Rosa.

    Is it possible that Gunth is actually capable of taking care of himself in a physical altercation?? Has he been secretly learning a martial art? Will he beat up on Les or visa versa? In either case, Rosa will love him forever!

    And maybe his proposal involves something else, and may tug at her heartstrings (though not in a romantic way), and ol’ Gunth gets suspicious…. and then Rosa sees the other side of getting what you’ve always wanted…

    To bad this will take a few days to play out, I’m looking forward to Gunther winning.

    tomorrow: Rosa says NO, Gunther says something, Les pokes Gunther in the chest with a threat.

    Next day: one of two things: 1) we find that Gunther musters up some inner strength and clocks Les, thus impressing Rosa as her hero. or 2) Gunther gets his head handed to him by Les, still impressing Rosa for getting his new found confidence against insurmountable odds of beating Les.

    For Gunther its a Win-Win with Rosa, only with or without bruises.

    It is possible Gunther’s negative response was not forbidding Rosa to say YES but simply the response to seeing something bad such as a child on TV running obliviously toward the rattlesnake..I admit it would not be in keeping with the previous panels. It is interesting that Rosa’s expression doesn’t look receptive, especially considering that her previous interaction involved getting her books knocked out of her hands..Note: schools need to make all textbooks offered available in electronic format. All the textbooks used in the state of Florida should easily fit on a single tablet. Royalties could be paid according to usage, errors could be corrected on the fly, additions due to new knowledge could be wified in, kids could read ahead or review, some books need not be replaced but rather retained if the only reason to replace them was torn pages, erotic art or too many lost. No need to hand books out for each class at the beginning of the year, no reason to collect those which remained at the end. Far less load to lug along.

    “Or three days have already passed in the strip.

    Not cost effective.Sure they are.Electronic rights can be part of the bid if the publishers know it will mean income for them.(You don’t make deals with those won’t deal, so whether they like or not isn’t the determining factor, especially since most are already dealing.)Cost of one physical book is far above cost of many tablets — even if the schools DO decide to provide the tablets.

    Woof! This story is really getting complex by having so many characters interacting. It’s intriguing, although Knute & Crystal and Gunther & Rosa do not interest me as much as Quill & Luann or Brad & Toni. I really would like to see some sort of “male presence” in the life of Berrnice. Still, this comic strip’s flaws are quite minor compared to so many others. I have been reading newspaper strips all my life (I’m 61), and, in my humble opinion, there have only been two that I consider “perfect,” meaning above any sort of criticism. They are “Calvin and Hobbes,” from the past, and “Get Fuzzy” from the present.
