Quill: "Sometimes, you just gotta let life happen, Gunth. You can't plan everything. Ok, off to drama. Later"
Tiffany: "Hello Gunther"
Gunther: "Oh! Hi Tiffany!"
Tiffany: "I heard you were kind of a hottie now. WRONG. There's no "kind of""

A, (On “Stop planning so much!”:) We’re back to what should have been known, all along, before he went to Peru, and during his trip to Peru. Quill said the same thing that Rosa did, and it’s a year or so later (our time). But this time, Gunther didn’t have to roll down an incline for this lesson…. – B, The “intrigue” discussed previously…. “all the ladies throwing their hats into the ring”…. -C, At this moment, life is…. happening ….

Is there anybody on this forum who believes Gunther’s appearance is any any way “hot”? Or anyone who believes that Bernice and/or Tiffany would think that? Clearly Greg Evans wants us to believe that Gunther is now attractive, but what he came up for the “hottie Giunther” is an epic fail.

I remember that Gunther had a thing for Tiffany for a short while back in the day.
Argythree almost 10 years ago
Apparently, things aren’t complicated enough for mixed-up Gunther. He (and we) are about to be left with another cliffhanger as we dart off in a different direction on Sunday (and probably Monday, when we end up with Professor Stupidhead dumping water balloons on students..)-So, will Gunther start up a new ‘life plan’ with Tiffany as the mother of his 2.5 children? Will Tiff be loving life with a ‘granny flat’?-Or will Gunther invite Tiff to go to class with him so he doesn’t lose any time in his exciting quest for a degree for that nonexistent tech job?-When will inquiring readers find out?

Maybe Gunther will take the words Quill said to him very literally, and ‘not plan for everything’. What would occur if he ‘just let life happen’ between himself and Tiffany? Hmmm….

Well, Tiff is an idiot. Maybe she wants a momma’s boy?

Too bad Quill left for drama class, cause it looks like he’ll miss some real drama when these two get together…
SactoSylvia almost 10 years ago
I don’t get the sense Gunther is contemplating getting back together with Rosa – I think he’s ready to end that chapter, at least as long as she stays in Peru. But of course I’m looking at it from a ahem slightly more mature woman’s perspective, not that of a young man.
Now if Rosa were to show up in Pittsville tomorrow, well… all bets would be off.

wiselad almost 10 years ago
mmmm I know that the “Lue-Gun” shippers will say “she will get jealous, and steal G from Tiff” after damping Q, but I can see more of a “Lue and Rosa talk via cell phone” and Rosa finally grows up about the “volunteer by herself” thing and decides to come back to Pitts and get G back before Tiff steals him
Airman almost 10 years ago
In her vast collection, Tiff can find a spot for the G-man. Yep, a real G spot for Tiff.
wrwallaceii almost 10 years ago
It is said that Beauty (in this case ‘Hotness’) is in the eye of the beholder… Tiff sees the ‘new’ more manly Gunther and goes for it… good for her and maybe good for him… She is not without some positive points herself (I’m sure they are there and will show up eventually). It is also said that opposites attract… Hmmmm.
jemgirl81 almost 10 years ago
I think it could work. I was bouncing love interests for Gunther in my head and Tiff was at the top of my list. They could definitely rub off on each other. The whole opposites attract thing and what not.
kenhense almost 10 years ago
Really what Gunther needs. Tiff will show Gunth how good it can get when you turn your brain off…
JayBluE almost 10 years ago
Of course, Gunther did just leave Rosa. You can’t just forget about someone you felt strongly for. Even when you feel you want to “carry on”, if you don’t deal with your feelings, they have…..“interesting”… ways of surfacing that you don’t intend them to………

Oh Gee, Gunth. You Just Got Dumped by by Your “Sorta-Kinda-Girlfriend” in Pe-Ru, and NOW Here Comes Tiff to RIP Your Heart Out.
Is THIS Gonna be the On-Going Thing with Gunth, Greg? Having Every Girl on Campus Fall for Him Because He has “5 O’Clock Shadow” but later DUMP Him When They Find Out He’s a “Nice Guy???”
debx2 almost 10 years ago
And now things get interesting. BTW, I like the new Gunther, he now has a bit more personality than a dishtowel.
Snark-impaired almost 10 years ago
I’m a straight woman, and I really do think Gunther looks a lot better than he did before, though I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a “hottie”. Just getting rid of that damned buttoned-up shirt did wonders. He’s still the same whiny, mama’s boy though—in fact, he’s even worse than he used to be, because now he acts like a jerk to his mom.
He needs to get away from his mom. Maybe not as far as Peru, but to go to college somewhere in another part of the US. Or just in another part of California, so he wouldn’t have out-of-state tuition. He’s smart and should be able to get some scholarships or something to help pay for it, and maybe work part time. Let his mom live her own life for a change.

I usually enjoy reading your comments after I read the strip. Several of you don’t seem to like where the strip is going and that’s cool. Dissing Gunther for his choices is one thing, but I truly wish you wouldn’t diss Greg. This is his strip after all. He can take Gunther wherever he wants him to go. I have enjoyed Gunther’s travels. I cannot wait to find out more about Mr. Gray. I do want to see how that turns out. How the convo he will finally have with his Mom goes. I’m so glad Quill is living there. He’s so level-headed. I also can’t wait for Brad’s wedding. I simply adore the convos he has with Shannon.Have a great weekend all!

Tiff is not interested in Gunther. She wants to use him, just like she uses everyone else.
TORAD_07 over 9 years ago
Hmmmm…. yeeahhhhh….. I’m not sure I like this at all. I think Tiff sees this as a huge manipulation opportunity… Gunther getting her through all her academics, etc. Time will tell, but I smell a rat here.

Or course, now we can all look forward to (cue the organ music): Rosa, unable to get Gunther off her mind, life goal or not, returns only to find he and Tiffany together. This, of course, leads to the huge smackdown between Rosa and Tiffany. Luann, meanwhile, watches in awe from the sidelines and – secretly – begins to re-examine her relationship with Quill… (Tune in again tomorrow…)

imbaldeagle over 9 years ago
Maybe the half beard says “I’m a player – a bad boy”. " I’ll make life interesting for you, and all the girls will be jealous". I think Tiff is finally smitten with a guy she thought she knew, and he JUST MIGHT BE a bad boy!
Airman over 9 years ago
Just give her a one timer, Gunther. No strings attached. Rosa deserves it.

Gunth switched clothes and hairstyles, picked up his fair share of angst and air of edgy adventure. Voila! Un Hottie.

I’m just glad Gunther is talking to ANY female besides his mommy. Tiffany could get him out of his funk and lighten up his mood a little. A little flirting would boost his confidence.

TORAD_07 over 9 years ago
I think this may set up some issues with Bernice, not Luann ( sorry Lu-Gunther ’shippers).
And, since Lu isn’t at Moony (and certainly not “on campus”) yet, there’s more opportunity for Bern and Tiff to go at it. I’d not be as concerned with the Lu – Gunther ship at this point. I don’t think it’s even activated yet.

sukiec over 9 years ago
Tiff’s life is very controlled by her father, so seeing Gunth beginning to cut the strings has to be appealing.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Tiffany very much has an ambition in life, and she is doing all she can to make it happen. By contrast, for the last week we have had to endure Gunther’s complaining that he is now drifting, since his “life plan” fell apart (no Mama in the granny flat!). Maybe Tiffany can put the G-man back on track to having a goal in life and striving to achieve it?
Sheila Hardie over 9 years ago

JayBluE over 9 years ago
“I thought the operative word was planned , not plans.” ^Yes, you’re right! I guess I was referring to the then “mindset” Gunther was having at that “exact time”, when he was in the moment of saying them. It should be planned. Unless that concept is still something he keeps “in the back of his mind”…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
Music is (or at least was, before all the “mega label hype/PR machine” of today does all the stuff for you) another area where one must develop a “thick skin” to deal with praise,criticism, appeal, or lack of appeal. Though I’m sure that there are still plenty of performers/musicians/songwriters/etc. (even with all the “corporate support” or without it) who “take it to heart”, for good or bad…

Gunther’s next live ought to be: “Okay, what do you want from me, Tiffany?”
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Tiffany may not be interested in having Gunther as a boyfriend. (She’s never had a serious boyfriend, that I remember, so she is obviously capable of getting along without one.) Tiffany may, however, simply want to be friends with her old classmate, since she may well be lonely at Mooney these days. As ReFlex-76 showed us above, they’ve been through a lot together back in high school. (Thanks for digging those strips out, ReFlex!) As Gunther’s friend, she may be able to help him resolve his “Mama issues”, as Quill is also trying to do. I suspect Gunther needs all the friends he can get right now, and unless he can control his temper and stop being so unpleasant, he won’t have any.

wiselad over 9 years ago
taking as a given that G will not end up with Tiff, there are only 2 logical routes of actual growth for G man, and maybe one for Tiff……………. the one that is almost definitive even if Greg wants G to end up with Tiff is that Bern and Tiff will be facing off each other for G (Bern having interest on him or as a concerned friend), and than “maybe” in the future(1 or 2 years from now? if not sooner) if we get Luann talking in the cell phone with Rosa as they already were established as chatting with each other when Rosa came to Peru, we will see Rosa grow out of her foolish way to help a village(by herself and without proper tools) and decide to come back to Pitts to fight “for her man”……………………. for Tiff, if Greg does not want her to end with G, I can see Tiff learn from G what real feelings are, and not the way of “body admiration” as most guys do see her. And than after G/Tiff “fails” she might be open to go out with Oxie
kauri44 over 9 years ago
I’m probably one of the few people that wishes that Gunther would go back to Peru, not just because of Rosa, but this time to appreciate the experiences one can have exploring a different country and culture. ( A lot of countries encourage high school graduates to do a “gap year” after college, often doing what Rosa was doing but as part of an organization.) I think a year in Peru, this time with an open-minded spirit of learning and exploration, would do Gunther a world of good.
Mind you, I’d guess his arc will keep him in Pitts or nearby, but I’d love to see that alternative.

I like your suggestion! “Dinner at Gunther’s”, leading to “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”! That would surely mark a farewell to the Old Gunther we knew and loved tolerated!

Dear, ambitious Tiffany is always seeking to upgrade, but I think she is making a big mistake in skipping over Oxford for the allegedly New Hottie-model Gunther. Oxford would be a better choice for her in the long run, in my view. But, hey, Gunther is so mired down in self-pity, he needs a little excitement, and that is something the Tiffster can provide….
atomicdog over 9 years ago
Rosa is out of the picture, and Luann is off the market. Tiffany is the only other girl in this strip that Gunther has taken the slightest bit of interest in. Seems logical to me.
drewpamon over 9 years ago
This is like being a nerd and having the head cheerleader hit on you…. Actually that’s exactly what it’s like. Good luck Gunther.

Also of interest are the 3 entries that Karen quoted from “Merriam-Webster” on the Facebook post:
"According to Merriam-Webster, DISTRACTION is defined as:1. something that makes it difficult to think or pay attention2. something that amuses or entertains you so that you do not think about problems, work, etc.3. a state in which you are very annoyed or upset – It’d be interesting to see if one, or all three could apply….

Both in college, so the money comes from somewhere. But, a trip to Peru makes him a foreign traveller, with maybe more money, and needing a shave. No one knows what happened in Peru. So now he’s a mystery man with an unknown (Dangerous, they think) past, therefore, attractive to most women.She sees help: a smart kid, with money, and someone she can mold, which could maybe get her where she wants to be—not in a local college. The movie business is in LA, not some local college. Want to be a star, make money? Go where stars /money is.Both should leave & start over.Her sweater is just as full as Rosa’s, but even Marilyn needed acting lessons.Let G be a fashion designer for the movies, and Tiff as a “comer.”Life is VERY, VERY SHORT!!Don’t have too many regrets.By the time Rosa finds out she needs training (Dr.?), & goes to Yale, G will have been burned once & will seek a future not associated with women that don’t know where they are going-mom included (she wants security). Tiff & he could be a good match, like Sophia Loren/old husband, or Scarlet O’Hara & Rhet Butler, (without the looks). He could be the Coco Chanel of Hollywood-she the Brigitte Bardot!Get out of college, before your looks and attitude change.4 years in a losing battle is a waste.Find out where you want to go, and go!!!!But, have a woman/man who wants what you want, behind you, and the will/effort to get there!!Or, just be a tax payer.Been there, done that!Story of my life.Plus, it changes this comic!
