Gunther: "Hi, Tiffany"
Tiffany: "Hi, study buddy! Ready to go salamander hunting?"
Gunther: "Oh, right. We have to do a field study for bio lab. Sure, I'm ready. You?"
Tiffany: "Yup!"
♬ She’s a big teaser, she took me half the way thereShe’s a big teaser, she took me half the way there nowShe was a day tripper, a one way ticket yeahIt took me so long to find out, and I found out ♬
Has Tiffany never heard of a salamander or seen a picture of one? I find it hard to imagine anyone, no matter how clueless, looking at the dress on Tiff’s wall and thinking, “Yes, that’s a good outfit to wear if you are going out to catch salamanders.”
“A Blind Data”“Name And A Dress”“Wednesday’s Child Is Full Of… Whoah!!!”“Survey? What Survey?”“A Collect Chemi-call”“She Blinded Me With… Science?”“Flora And Fawn…Uh…”“Oy, Survey!”“The Unscientific Method”“Somewhere…Beyond The Hypotheses” (♫)or“Hard Habitat To Break”
Yes! This will be when we finally see how Tiffany deals with not hiding behind the glam mask! Because you know she and that sundress are going to wind up a muddy, bedraggled, ragged disaster before the scene plays out. How she handles her makeover-by-Gunther will show her—and him—who she really is.
I think the outlook is that Gunther is going to be a pivotal character going forward from here. For instance, he’s the only one who is in any kind of love triangle – apart from our eponymous character, of course, and that long forgotten guy in Hawaii.
Tiffany thinks Gunther’s hot now. Sure, she’s shallow, but she’ll give his new more primal side a focus for awhile. Still, she’s just a side trip for him. Don’t know what, if anything, he’ll do for Tiff. I don’t see anything making her less shallow.
I will love to see how Greg carries this new plotline out (it could be one of his best yet!) I can’t help but think that while Gunther could bring Tiffany up from the pits of self-absorption, more likely it will be she that brings him down. Okay, Greg, I am seated, have my popcorn and soft drink at my side. Start the next reel! :)
If I were to guess, then like everything else, this is 97% about Tiffany. She needs her ego fed more than anyone else. She’s not quite as shallow as she appears, but close.
It would seem that Tiff is expecting Gunther to do most of the “down and dirty” work… I wonder, though, who she thinks she’s going to impress in that outfit out in “Salamander country…” Trust me Tiff, they ain’t your type… ;-PPP
“Tiff, that little dress will look so cute with hiking boots.”*BS – If they have as rugged a journey as on prom night, the G-man knows WHAT TO DO. Pick up the damsel in distress and carry her across the creek. But can he do it when he’s alone with her? *Stay tuned. (Thanks for the heads’ up, Sheriff.)
So next week we’re going to laugh at how desperate Tiffany is! Let’s drag her through the literal mud! I mean, she has no friends, lives alone, is completely alone…but yeah, this is great!
Desperate, but not for boys or friends. Certainly not for Gunther in that context. I think she’s desperate to get through college with a decent transcript. So she will exploit him for his tutelage and nothing more. Still calling him “study buddy” I think isn’t screaming “romantic involvement” or even “friendship” to me. Now, perhaps, Gunther, given his own vulnerable state right now, will misinterpret something Tiff says/does as “interest,” but I am confident she will shut it (and him) down quickly.
I remember once Rosa bought a new bikini just for Gunther and all he did was become more flustered. I don’t think Tiffany’s atomic dress (85% fallout) will do much better. Maybe if she realized where she was and did a comic “strip” we might get some action.
Oh, an outdoors Science Adventure! I love science adventures! One can learn so much!And the cute, short little yellow sundress should improve Gunther’s powers of observation, especially when you bend over to pick up a salamander! (Yes, I remember the mini-skirt era of the late 1960s….)
She’s pretty desperate for friends, and thinks impressing them is the way to get them.
She’s not that desperate. I don’t get that at all from the first strip with Piro. I think she was just trying to give Bernice some advice on how to have a better time at college. Tiff knows that all she has to do is call up the football jocks and she could have a rockin’ good time. After all, she got them to help her move into the dorm room…
Maybe she’s desperate to impress others, but not for real friends. Still, we’ll see what happens with Gunther.
Gunther is a ‘follower’… by his own admission. Right now the only available person to follow is Tiffany. Hopefully this will change. he needs to follow someone who will teach him how to lead his own life.
It’s actually really smart of Tiffany to choose this adorable outfit. This way, Gunther will want to do all the dirty work, all the while improving his powers of observation, as Sisyphos mentioned!

Yup!!! A Misunderstanding we will indeed go…. – And, indeed, the “background” will be over some study…
Templo S.U.D. over 9 years ago
Um… does Tiffany even know what a salamander is as well as what its habitat is?
atomicdog over 9 years ago
I think that Tiffany has some other kind of hunting on her mind…
Logicman over 9 years ago
’Bout time Tiff got interesting ….
jemgirl81 over 9 years ago
She’ll make a funner companion than boring old Rosa.
keema70 over 9 years ago
Gunther’s at least thinking, but he’s still young and will make more stupid mistakes!

I am so sorry that Rosa is replaced with Tiffany. She is so superficial, and not right for him

She’s on a manhunt. The dress is bait.

She’s ready to go hunting for (sal)A Man(der), all right!

I love how everyone is interpreting Tiffany’s intentions the same way! Nothing subtle about today’s strip!

Is “salamander hunting” a euphemism with which I am unfamiliar?

Ha Ha!

Gunther, shave or grow a beard already. The stubble is annoying.
Pointspread over 9 years ago
Tiffany probably thinks a salamander is like a gekko and they are going to talk about car insurance.
loubarra over 9 years ago
Or watching the submarine races

Go commando, Tiff, you’re on a mission.
Sabrejack Premium Member over 9 years ago
She’ll destroy the poor kid, heart, mind and soul. And he’ll enjoy every minute of it
elysummers over 9 years ago
Why would Tiffany be romantically interested in Gunther? Did I miss something, or does she have something else in mind.
thebigboot over 9 years ago
Loving all the slams against Tiffany despite not really having done any of what’s been thrown out against her.
Mordock999 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Gunther You SHOULD Take A Whistle, Just in Case This She-Wolf Lures YOU to HER Room.
AND a Can of Pepper Spray……,
WaitingMan over 9 years ago
Lord help me, I’m actually looking forward to seeing Tiffany in that dress (or out of it, I’m not picky).
donwalter over 9 years ago
mmm…PERFECT dress for snipe hunting…
cdemattos over 9 years ago
Ooh look, here’s a salamander.

Need I say it? She’s a tease.
JimT8 over 9 years ago
“Heck, all they have to do is walk across an open field…”
Are you serious? If so, take me there. I’ve never found a salamander in the wild.
JimT8 over 9 years ago
No. Salamanders are amphibians, like frogs.
R.J.C. over 9 years ago
I can’t believe Evans is pairing Gunther with Tiffany. Where’s Bernice????
sperry532 over 9 years ago
Maybe Gunther will give Tiff a good lesson. In what is the question.
Wooded trail over 9 years ago
interesting Tiffanys never had a boyfriend. Just lots of flirting.

only Tiffany. She’s gonna get messed up
TORAD_07 over 9 years ago
Gee, all muddy and dirty and covered with lizard slime …. sounds kinda familiar as a set-up ….
Aw Dave…. trying to take poke at Levi when he’s not around…… ;-PPPP
dre7861 over 9 years ago
Tiffany to Gunther: “Is that a salamander in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
Lamberger over 9 years ago
Tiffany has a lot of potential energy. Scientists like that.
sjsczurek over 9 years ago
Uh-oh..Watch out, Gunther..Don’t forget the last time Tiff-phoney took you for a ride.
whiteaj over 9 years ago
Lots of bending over collecting salamanders. And I’m sure Tif is aware of that.

Tiffany may yet surprise us all.

Maybe Tiffany has realized that engineers are the new cool.

Hey, these two might be good for each other. If it helps Tiff grow as a character, I’m all for it.

38lowell over 9 years ago
I guess you could call it Salamander hunting. Is that like submarine watching?
spaced man spliff over 9 years ago
Ahhhh, those shallow airheads !! Ditzy, but fun and delightful. I’m thinking of two in particular: Tiff and Lila.

Tiff has somehow confused salamanders with lounge lizards.

“Tiff, that little dress will look so cute with hiking boots.”
That actually can be quite a cute look, a pretty dress or romper paired with military style short boots or even hiking boots.

Ooohhhh, that’s the shower strip that everyone was talking about at some point! For some reason I missed this one. Lol!

what a way to go
TORAD_07 over 9 years ago
betcha she refers to “that little green talking lizard on TV” as her idea of one …
She’ll be disappointed when she doesn’t hear the “British Accent…” ;-PPP
kenhense over 9 years ago
Wonderful! Maybe Tiffany can show Gunther that not thinking has its advantages (Tiff would know).
38lowell over 9 years ago
A Bio lab field study about birds & bees!Gunther will learn a lot, on this trip.No class report, tho!
atomicdog over 9 years ago
I see that the “Tiffany is a dumb blonde” meme is flowing freely in the comments. She may be a lot of things, but dumb she isn’t.
Aladar30 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Nice hat.
Dennett Premium Member over 9 years ago
That looks like a good outfit for catching trouser snakes…

Gunther is a great costume designer. He should move to Paris, Italy, or NY and attend some kind of fashion school.
ElJorro over 2 years ago
She’s getting ready for something alright.
