Transcript:
Delta: "I love you guys"
Luann: "Bye Delta"
Bernice: "Skype often, ok?"
Luann: "I didn't get you a goodbye gift!"
Delta: "I know the perfect thing you can give me
A small rant here (OK, Very small): what happened to Berniceâs hair?! I like the âsmoothâ look better. Right now her hair looks like one big bunch of frizzâŠsorta like mine when the humidity is up⊠=-O
I know the strip is moving on with fresh characters, but having seen this group together for so long, sure will miss them. I hope they âdrop inâ on occasion.
Once I left HS, I never went back. The reunion books sound interesting, though I am not sure if my HS even had any. Checked the HS out on the web, but no real answers there. I probably just need to keep on hunting in FB! =-O
My Irish Setter girl, Katie, is Loudly complaining that She wants to go to bed! Since Iâve found a library book about âDownton Abbey,â Iâll say âNite All for now! ;)-ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ-âI arise from dreams of thee In the first sweet sleep of night. When the winds are breathing low, And the stars are shining bright.â(Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792-1822)
Weâll miss Delta, who helped keep Bernice and Luann grounded in the real world. This farewell tour of duty on their adopted street is a good reminder, and, as Bernice said, Skype often, Delta! Goodness knows, Luann needs it!
Iâm glad to here Bernice say, âSkype oftenâŠâ which means, hopefully, that weâll see more of Delta, later on.
So, whatâs next? Return to TJ? Knute and/or Crystal? Advancement of the Brad/Toni wedding? Lu prepping for Pitts CC? Lu and Quill?
I know most of you want to get back to TJ, and so would I. But, with time running short in the summer, Iâd think weâd need to do things that require resolution prior to the new school year starting. Thus, I think "Lu prepping for Pitts CCâ and/or Lu and Quill will be next. Perhaps, Knute and Crystal also. But, as previously stated, Iâd like to see Knute and Crystal stick around. Knute could work at Weenie World, and Crystal, if not at Mooney or Pitts CC, could open her own âGoth Boutique.â And, if GE decides to develop Knute and Crystal (âKrystalâ) :-) so much the better.
TJâs resolution is not dependent on a calendar, nor are Brad & Toni advancing. So it can take longer than the school year starting. The former just has to happen before the latter. And Lu and Quill need not be resolved immediately either, as it might allow a vehicle to get Lu onto the Mooney campus to interact with the others for bits at a time. Perhaps, with the eventual goal of her transferring there.
Way cool! This strip highlights both Luannâs self-centeredness and Deltaâs other-centeredness. Their friendship enlarged both of them.*Hereâs a switch for a reunion of the Three Musketeersâ come holiday time, instead of Delta coming back to Pitts to visit, Lu and Bern go to DC to see the sights and take part in Deltaâs unexciting life.
I notice Delta didnât come up with that âAdopt A Street â idea until she was conveniently on her way out of having to get HER hands dirty cleaning it up.( CynicalâŠME? )
âMary Sueâ is an idealized character, often but not necessarily, an author insert. And I agree; when Deltaâs cancer went into remission, so did her development (IMHO).
Nice.Obligate your friends for an unlimited term and get your name first on the plaque for being the âinspirationâ.Look at all the cr*p on that âstreetâShouldnât the town be call PIGGs?
These days, âMary Sueâ has been âsnatchedâ by the newer generations, to be more of a deriding term for someone who wants to âplay it straightâ and who seems to do stuff thatâs not always funâŠ. they consider a âMary Sueâ to be âuptightâ, when itâs probably not the case (not always), for someone labeled as suchâŠ.
Hereâs a link to a site that I donât particularly use myself, but it shows that others also associate the term âMary Sueâ with âStraight lacedâ and also âteacherâs petââŠâŠ
Delta was there to âgroundâ Luann and Bernice, as it was put.I notice Luann is doing the work without complaining even smiling so it looks as though Deltasâ work here is done.Iâll miss you Delta. :(
Just jumped in to see whatâs been going on! Looks like Luann and Bernice will be moving along into un-chartered waters sometime in the next week or two? We already know what will be happening to Delta. I am beginning to wonder What direction Greg is going in..school should be starting soonâŠwe need some prep work before the actual classes begin, donât you think?! Gotta go! âNite all!-âââââââââââââââââââââââââ-âThe wiser mind Mourns less for what age takes away Than what it leaves behind.â (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850)

I always thought the clean-up âcrewâ usually picks up debris from country roads, and such⊠;)

What a Mary Sue.

Hmmm, another âcommunity organizerâ goes to D.C.?

Thanks for the hint (WhitePages.com)! Perhaps now I might be able to find a friend or two! ;)

âKnutestalâ?
I think Knute would be chivalrous enough to let her have the majority of the contraction. :-)
And, besides, it also matches the Southern eatery The Krystal

Knowing how receiving reimbursement(s) for insurance claims works â it will NOT be a quick fix for TJ.
karanne over 10 years ago
I thought safety vests were supposed to be reflective orange.
TORAD_07 over 10 years ago
yeh, but Krystal is just a White Castle ripoff.
âCrystuteâ ?
Nah, Iâll stick with âKrystal.â Sounds better. :-)
âThe Krystalâ was pretty decent, back in the 60âs⊠regular burgers, etc. I think they became a White Castle clone only more recently.

Thatâs Delta, perfect to the end.

If this gets any more sugary, Iâll puke.

For those of you wondering when Bernice first switched from her âstraightâ hair, it was 3/1/1992
Simon_Jester over 10 years ago
I notice Delta didnât come up with that âAdopt A Street â idea until she was conveniently on her way out of having to get HER hands dirty cleaning it up.( CynicalâŠME? )
Sangelia over 10 years ago
It isnât just streets that need to be adopted. Creeks, streams, & rivers too.
celeconecca over 10 years ago
@ ReallyBad2
I thought they adopted that street way back when.

maverick1usa over 10 years ago
And another character bites the dust â or gets erased as the case might be!
Bunny21774 over 10 years ago
I was wondering if the strip will retire soon.
thebigboot over 10 years ago
Huh, so she can do something without Quill. Maybe itâs time he throws a fit and complains she has no time for him.

JayBluE over 10 years ago
âMary Sueâ is another term for a âKeenerâ. In other words, âGoody-Goodyâ, but also with an extra jabâŠ..
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Yup⊠that plastic bottle was said to be thereâŠ.
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Wonder if it said âYoo Hooâ on it? Heh, heh!!!

Good one, along with JPW!!!!

Why did the story of TJ end so abruptly? Are we going to find out what happened with the insurance, or is that next weeks episode?
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Aha! Here it is! â
JayBluE over 10 years ago
Here is the rest of that arc. This shows one reason why Delta was motivated to do all of the workâŠ. â

Itâs a character who everyone is supposed to think is perfect, and itâs corny. :P
MissionLDB over 10 years ago
Hate to ask but are you closing the strip? Or will we be following Luann into encounters with a new cast?
melodymucisa 6 months ago
And thatâs the last time Luann and Bernice ever see Delta!
