So, how come Tiff is stuck with the kids? At least the prom arc is beginning! ;)

I’m wondering what Luann will do when she learns Quill hasn’t even Thought about those things… ;)

Four more days? Does that mean early May. or what? We need time for a huge “Graduation” crisis or two, before it gets too far into June.

finally stayed up late enough to comment on the first page and I got nothing, except looking forward to Crystal’s outfit and Knute’s for that matter. Wonder if Ox will wear 77?

That little strawberry blond kid looks a lot like Mrs. Berger. Just sayin’.

“…Did no harm and back in service.”^Hey- That’s the Important part! I know you’re relieved…
ORMouseworks over 10 years ago
Oh, How could have I forgotten that (heheheh) ;)

If Tiff is the head of prom decorating, does this mean she hasn’t got a date for the prom??? I find that hard to believe… ;)
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Uh… that time, no pun intended..

And along with that, a nice, gradual water build-up, instead of the “cold start”, and sudden rush of water….

She talks to him like she likes him… at the pool party, she played “chicken” with him in the pool, vs. Knute/Crystal, and didn’t brush him off, during his conversations with her… and during the times she’s not in the direct view of the panels, it can be safely assumed that She’s either with a boy, or spending a comfortable amount of time with Ox, whom she shows herself…. comfortable.. around….

(…without the Herculean effort needed previously.) Sounds like my old shower handle which we tried to replace but couldn’t as the (expletive deleted) “builder” had the plumber fix the faucet to one of the wood studs and we’d of had to take all of the tile off the shower wall in order to access it and change the handle :P

I think that’s going to be the direction we are headed. She has been too kind to Ox so far to turn on him."^It does seem so….

We haven’t seen Quill and Gunther for awhile; has Quill been putting G-man through the “Charles Atlas Course”?

“Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired.” (from one of Shakespeare’s Sonnets). And, with that, I wish you all a good nite! ;)

He meant to refer to Tiff (it was around October/November)…. and he called it “teaching”, but meant to refer to the “afterschool care program”…

It’s a common staple of TV and other fictions, that there’s the “will they… wont they?” approach, where they flirt and chat and all, and so it’s not an official relationship.. but it’s a “pairing”, as in a way to “manipulate” us or signal us to the direction that’s being “teased”… – Plus, sometimes it’s portrayed where one may show continued interest in another (like dancing with them, lingering a bit to talk, offering to do things like partnering in a game, or letting someone carry their books/or offering to do so), without actually going out as a couple…

For the ones with codes, you can also copy and paste those codes, as well… -It ends up being similar, only difference being that with the one, you can copy and paste the actual symbol itself (which in essence seems the “road of least resistance”), and with the other, you copy and paste the code that turns it into a symbol when you post… – Another reason I like pulling up the page instead of going to the “map”, is because on mine, the map doesn’t pop up on the desktop start menu. I have to go to my “C” drive, and then go through it all (unless I use the one on my “Office” system, Word, Excel, etc.) to get the one I’d like to use, whereas I can copy and paste (or sometimes type) from the handy dandy chart I have pinned to favorites just above my browser (and in a couple of other areas on my Win 8 screen, too)…

@IamJayBluE and @GweedoI’m just now reading Saturday’s comments, so jumped over here to say thank you for all the extra information. I’ll catch up with the rest of you tomorrow…er…later today. (3am Monday now. Maybe I should go to bed. Nite all.

And according to her eyes and lean in panel 2, kinda “shifty” when she wants to be…. Lol!

Whatever it is about Tiff, at least she’s helping out.
Sisyphos over 10 years ago
Glorp! Now that’s a sticky widget for the Tiffster, but she does in fact go with the kids to help them. Virtuous Luann, on the other hand, is busy chatting up Quill about the prom.Who’s the villainess in this strip?

I do not understand why kids spend so much on prom, but then the amount people spend on weddings simply boggles my mind. My mother made my prom dresses and we rode in my date’s car. My wedding probably cost under $2000 including my dress. We did most of the food ourselves and guess what—still married.

We don’t have a lot of time for the prom arc with graduation also coming. And 4 Luann days will will go fairly quick.

> This one gives us an interesting perspective of Tiffany as servant of the people.>Yep, Tiffany is trying to juggle handling the kids and making Prom plans for the good of the whole school, since she’s in charge of decorating. Luann, on the other hand, wants Tiffany to take the kids so that she can make Prom plans just for herself. Me me me me me me me!

The look on Tiff’s face in the 2nd panel is priceless! :-) :-)
To be honest, I’m amazed she’s still working for “Big Chin.”
Bandera_Ken over 10 years ago
Good one.
watmiwori over 10 years ago
Makes a change from Tiff being stuck on herself!

“Prom Misses, Prom Misses”^I know I did some before, but I did that one with Delta and Bern when they were trying on dresses, and first thought about what it was they wanted out of proms, etc…
JayBluE over 10 years ago
And if anything, with the exception of a few areas, Tiff and Lu are more alike than either of them would care to admit.

Anthropological Lesson:*People don’t fight because they’re different. They’re more likely to fight because they are alike, occupying the same ecologicl niche.*Palestinians & Israelis— Semites both.Russians and Ukrainians— central Asians bothNorth & South Koreans— eastern Asians bothTiff & Luann— Prom-minded both.

Whatever happened to guys driving their dates to prom instead of hiring a limo? ☺
Caldonia over 10 years ago
OMG Tiffany is the worst because she’s organizing an event for other people.-OMG Luann has so much inner beauty because she has such a wonderful relationship with a boring guy.-I think this strip is BAITING the Tiff haters! The Tiff haters gonna spend HOURS this week talking about how smart they are for hating her! LULZ

Hiring a limo is a good idea if there will be a lot of drinking, which has been known to happen on Prom night.

“kids these days wouldn’t have a clue who Bacharach and David were.”^Well ‘m kind of an anomaly, anyway…. I credit growing up as a 70s kid with a lot of exposure to things from previous decades, and I just happened to have a good sponge inside the old “brain pan” to soak it all up. I think that’s one of the things about these days…. not a lot of exposure to the “sights/sounds/experiences” from times past for those growing up, today, which translates into a lack of awareness about a lot of things (and not just music) Sometimes, I have found people only a few years younger than me still have no idea about anything prior to even the 90s, even though they too were alive during the late 70s and 80s… - To me, it really seems to be due to not getting that exposure to prior things, and the situation these days, where all people get to know now are today’s “media circuses”….. but I do know that it’s not the case with all people,. Still, I do find a considerable number out there… – But, too, if Jeopardy is any indication, it also may not be limited to a factor of a certain age group… Sometimes, I’m “yelling” at the TV, when even college professors answer “John Denver”, when it was clearly Bob Denver.. " Stinkin’ BOB Denver!… " ……LOL!!!!

How about: “Phoning It In”?^I didn’t even think of using Phone…that could’ve worked, too! It now makes me think of another one similar : “Phon(e)y Baloney” or something similar…

seismic-2 Premium Member over 10 years ago
The glue glorped out? For once, people will actually be justified in calling Tiffany “stuck up”.
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Ha ha! Now we see why she likes black paint….
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Ha ha!!
