âNo, thatâs all. I drink coffee now. Kills the taste of the drugs and liquor.â

Our âLittle Gunthieâ seems to be more grown-up than his Mom wants him to be⊠;)
Airman about 10 years ago
Letâs hear the story. Gunther looks like he has been doing some long distance walking around the mountains and Rosa probably went native and decided to stay in The Heart of Darkness.
Belinda Banana Ana about 10 years ago
Ten bucks nothing interesting happened.
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
I think soâŠhe seems to have âgrown upâ in many ways⊠;)
Barker62 about 10 years ago
What, no little Gunthers going to be running around in Lima or is that a revelation yet to come?
Angelalex242 about 10 years ago
If there is a âpregnant Rosaâ plot, weâre not gonna see it till June, maybe even later.
wrwallaceii about 10 years ago
Iâm happy just as long as he wasnât involved in the Greenpeace Nasca Lines desecration event.
RBLawyer about 10 years ago
Once Gunther was in the outback, he was stuck until the next resupply. I expect that was about a month in which time he learned the joy of no running water and no indoor toilets. Iâd bet his wardrobe of plaid was decimated by the ordeal too. As for Rosa, Iâm guessing she went back to her uncle and his luxury. Reality BITES!
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
Which I hope he does! ;)

That whole Mr. Gray thing was the worst of all. Ruined his whole month.

Just hope he is healthy. There are some VERY nasty parasites in South America.

Thereâs always some catalyst that forces us to grow up; sometimes without our being aware.
phurface about 10 years ago
Mom is being selfish not wanting âGunthieâ to grow up beyond her control.

Large, 3 peppermint mocha squirts, and a hot shower. A great wake up call.

ââŠwell Mom, have you ever heard of the Sendero Luminoso? Turns out Rosaâs one of their deep cover agentsâŠ"
Sisyphos about 10 years ago
Guntherâs Month in Peru has really changed him a lot, or so it seems. What we are seeing appears to be an entirely New Model Gunther. That could be a little unnerving for Mrs. Berger, and for others, if not actually frightening.Just what did transpire between him and Rosa during those lost weeks in the high country?
Chuck374 about 10 years ago
Seems his time in the remote village was longer than the blink of an eye (that crazy Luanniverse). At first I was afraid he did not even give it a chance. Glad to see he has not shaved yet. Have a feeling a new and more seasoned Gunther is on the horizon.
TORAD_07 about 10 years ago
Well, this should be interesting. I think that he still has is beard and no plaid is a good sign. Coffee? Even better! This should make for a good sub arc this week.
Caldonia about 10 years ago
Coffee, to match the beard which looks like coffee grounds. ZING!
housepianist about 10 years ago
Ok, Gunther. Iâve made a cup of Gevalia French Roast. Tell me your story.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member about 10 years ago
I agree with you, Mordock⊠drinking coffee IS the beginning of wisdom. I am enjoying Guntherâs transformation, and am hopeful it is long-term. His story also, hopefully, will be very interesting.
Squoop about 10 years ago
No more milk & cookies for me⊠Iâm onto the hard stuff now â coffee.

ROFLMAO â Thanks!

Gunther had to watch Rosa fall for another man in the villiage, maybe the driver of the truck that brought them there.
locake about 10 years ago
It is a long flight from Lima to LAX, a whole day of traveling is exhausting. Plus it took a lot of energy and nerve to escape from the clutches of Rosa. Just saying NO to Rosa made a real man out of him.
JimT8 about 10 years ago
It always bemuses me how many folks here would rather write their own stories than wait to be surprised.
Airman about 10 years ago
Whatever happened, and I hope we get the whole story, burned out Gunther and caught up Rosa in the satisfaction of helping out in the mountain villages. After seeing Reese Witherspoon in the movie, âWildâ, I know that Iâm a candy ass and could never function living the primitive, back to nature style of life. Roughing it is a hotel that doesnât have a Starbucks shop.
JayBluE about 10 years ago
"It would have to be " ^Well, it does seem so⊠but maybe not. One of the main examples I think of is Riverdale. It is said to be based upon Bob Montanaâs home in Massachusetts (Somewhere near Haverhill), and upon a couple of places in NY State. But while a few landmarks and place names were used in the first run of Archie Comics to denote this, over the years theyâve made an effort to try to not name any specific place nearby, to make it an âAnytown USAâ to make it so itâs "near everyone ". â It sometimes seems that Greg Evans does this, too, that he throws the occaisional âshout outâ or two to places near San Marcos, San Diego and LA, but that he doesnât âcome right outâ and say that itâs definitely here or there. â Another example I can think of is the airport scene (in July of 2013) when Luann and Frank went to pick up Quill. It had the look and feel of Dulles in DC. â Not saying that itâs not there in SoCal, but just that it seems that itâs not specifically made to be any place âdefinitivelyâ (would even seem to âfitâ along the lines of Gregâs usual M.O., to appeal to everybody)âŠ
JayBluE about 10 years ago
I still wonder if âMr. Grayâ is just going to be a âglossed overâ subject (from Guntherâs standpoint), and a âthrowaway ancillary characterâ just for the sake of that âone time plot pointââŠ-For that matter, will the same be said of some of the characters at Berniceâs dorm?
kenvilkid about 10 years ago
A pregnant Rosa?? No way thatâs happening, BUT, just what were the living arrangements in Peru? Just thinking about this little clan of recently graduated HSâers, I do believe that Olâ Gunthy can be the first one to truly lose his innocence. He is no longer a boy, Mommaâs or otherwise. Quill and Luann get all smoochie but I donât think it went any further. Who thought it would be Gunther.
TORAD_07 about 10 years ago
Maybe mom should introduce him to Irish coffee
Not old enough yetâŠ. I think he needs to be 21 or over.
Sheila Hardie about 10 years ago
Why is it that girls can do âboy-stuffâ and no one bats an eye, but if a guy does âgirl-stuffâ, people think heâs gay? Enough with the double standards. Heâs not gay just because he likes to sew. Grow up, people!
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member about 10 years ago
I find your perspective to be quite odd. You state, âHow do you grow as a person and become closer to someone you care for if your not willing to meet them half way in achieving their dream?â++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Let us seeâŠ. Gunther ABANDONS his plans, JUMPS willy-nilly on a plane to Peru, FINDS it to be opposite of what Rosa said it would be, MAKES due with what is for several months, FLEES again when Rosa suddenly wants to steal away in a delivery truckâŠ.. and GUNTHER did not meet Rosa halfway in achieving her dream?!?!?!?!?!? Bah. My perceptions of Rosa has changed drastically since she was at the start of her Senior Year in high school. She is in reality a rather short-sighted, somewhat self-absorbed person, and IMHO it is ROSA who did not and was unwilling to meet Gunther even 1/10th of the way towards making any sort of long-term relationship.
Willow Mt Lyon about 10 years ago
The personality of one who has matured, is very tired and has become more realistic has been captured in the artwork. Excellent job, Greg! Please allow Gunther to go forward. No more plaid shirts and black oxfords. Please!
doverdan about 10 years ago
Le Petit Chateau exists also in Pitts..We can imagine a whole chain of them in the Luanniverse.
melmarsh9v about 10 years ago
Heâs going to tell, heâs going to tell! Come on, Gunther! We want to hear all about the remote native village! Tell us of the squalor and the misery, of plague, pestilence and famine. We want to hear stories of foul vermin and odious excrement!
jocatric about 10 years ago
I have never been more interested in Gunth then right now
doverdan about 10 years ago
âFlight 312 is now the real flight. Therefore, Pitts has to be in New Guinea.â
No, in the Luanniverse it leaves Pitts for Sydney (very occasional blizzards, permitting.)

[grinâŠ. one more thing]⊠and idealism does not mean stupidity. Rosaâs brand of idealism seems fast-and-furiousâŠ. and much more likely to fizzle out quickly that it would have if she had either a) did a more intensive and accurate assessment of how and where she could be helpful, or b) she had longer range goals on how to be best helpful not only for this moment, but in the years to follow.

âI have mentioned before that some things in Luanniverse defy gravityâŠâ.As Elwood proved.
Lion_Tamer about 10 years ago
Home just in time for registration, spring classes are starting soon at MU or the Pitts CC. I would bet MU so Bernice would have his âRugged Good Looksâ to swoon over, and make Luann jealous.
wiselad about 10 years ago
about the âwhite Christmasâ google Big bear mountains which is about 2.5 hours from the Area where Greg lives, east of San Bernandino city
wiselad about 10 years ago
flight wise, if Greg had researched, and taking as given that pitts is southern California(one time Q went to visit a relative in hollywood)âŠâŠâŠwe can easily see Luann taking him to LAX and waiting for flight 108 of Quantas or he could have made sure to get a flight number that does not exist

If it had snowed,Iâd âve knowed.
TORAD_07 about 10 years ago
Wish Guntherâs mother would shut her trap ⊠next thing we know he will be back in plaid shirts â-oh the travesty.
That is the critical point of this weekâs sub-arcâŠ. Will he revert, or not? And what happened with Rosa?
RSH about 10 years ago
I share your concern but something tells me that Ma Bergerâs mothering words are rolling off Gunther like beads of water on a wax surface. The guy has changed⊠black coffee not pancakes and syrup.
Another thing in our favor.. In the past, whenever Greg has changed the look of a character, he / she never goes back to their former appearance..e.g. when Luann had her hair straightened as she was going through puberty, and two times for Bern.

Nerd no more!
tubgrape about 10 years ago
Unless were are following a dream Gunther is having, and if Gunther has actually, suddenly appeared at home, Greg has dropped the ball on possibly one of the most exciting potential storylines imaginable. Gunther and Rosa being captured by the Shining Path. After all, werenât they both talking about finding their âpaths?â This silly comic above HAS to be a dream.
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
âHe (Gunther) is free now and worn out. I agree, considering most of this took place out in the mountains⊠;)
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Hoh, boyâŠ..
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
Re: Firefox vs. ChromeâŠmaybe that is why I keep getting fouled up with Firefox⊠Iâd really like to try Chrome, but I have no patience when it comes to ads. My hub said there really isnât anything like Fireboxâs Ad Block out there. Maybe Iâll try to slow down tonight and see what happens (Iâm a fast typist so maybe that is the problemâŠ? ;)
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
âGunther has changed.â And the more better of it⊠;)

I can attest to the vast difference when upgrading to Pro on GCâŠ. Definitely worth it, with those âsneaky pop upsââŠ.
