New poll up: Will Tiffany ever understand school?

What’s the perfect wedding?1) 22 votes – Other (Most answers were for a fire department theme)2) 6 votes – A Lost theme3) 4 votes – A Gilligan’s Island theme4) 3 votes – A CSI: Miami theme5) 1 vote – A Love Boat theme6) 1 vote – A Who Wants to be a Millionaire themeOther: (A sampling: No wedding at all, they are not rigth for each other; Shannon picks the SpongeBob theme; Just a small, normal wedding, please!; A perfect wedding is one with flaws the couple shrugs off when the flaws happen.)

Wow. The kids almost had a moment before Mom interrupted with a snack.

Saved from themselves

Looking at the big smile on Tiffany’s face in the last panel, I think they both were more worried about what they might have been stumbling into, without meaning to…

It’s obvious now- nothing “happened” in Tiffany’s dorm.Can we lay that trope to rest, please?

It seems like ‘making things easier’ just got a bit complicated…. – And while their hearts were ‘stolen in the moment’, their data was also being swept off of it’s feet, by a ‘nearly perfect 10 …. – Heh, heh- Berger’s Cookies…. Reminds me of an actual product with that name. It may also ‘ring a bell’ with a few people here… – “(♫)Got a flat – screen monitor forty inches wide- I believe that yours says ‘Etch – A – Sketch’ on the side!….” (♫)

It seem just like when luann had a crush on guther when he started making costumes for her

I hope Tiffany-Stiffany is not too soft-focused…

Thanks mom…

OMG, someone last night said Gunther’s mom would enter stage left with milk and cookie and lo and behold she did. But that is not the most important development: they obviously have feelings for each other. We could analyze this until the cows come home, but clearly the way the strip i drawn they are very attracted to each other, they may actually feel a need for each other. I have never seen Tiffany this dreamy/warm before, and Gunther. well contrary to sentiments discussed above, i think he is not hesitant about this one bit. Opposites attract!!

Whew! That was close! Nice timing, Mom.

“Don’t Get Caught In The Web”…

Panel three: “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”

So cute. These two just don’t understand their attraction for each other yet, or at least are not prepared to deal with it. Hence, Ma Berger’s timely appearance was salvation for both. Give them time….

thats the problem with this strip….i know someone is vulnerable… but i am not sure who….

Very sweet strip today – and I do’t mean saccharine sweet.

A smart line and a great expression from Tif. But what’s it gonna take for those two – Noah’s Ark?

Za sisu je

Kudos to Greg; he’s finally letting all of his “child” characters grow up, and so far they’re all much the better for it. Tiff in particular has been a one-joke character for years; it’s nice to see her starting to deepen a bit.

as I have said for at least 2 years..Tiff is not dumb dumb. she is lazy, just watch how she would ace a chemistry week if she saw it was about creating cosmetics, or a history week if it is history of culture impact of Egyptian cosmetics

I like Tiffany ’s pic in panel 3!

PLEASE don’t dance around all of the obvious opportunities. I suffered through enough of that with Luann and Quill.

Holy Lord, so many comments oO?

No one gets horny in this strip

I will be devastated if they can’t get Susan Boyle for the part of Gunther’s mom in “Luann: The Movie.”

Tiffany seems almost nice around Gunther Maybe a relationship with him will help her build some self-esteem and actually have someone in her life that really cares about her as a person, I think she needs someone to care about her Her dad showers her with money, but no love.

Time for tea and strumpets!

OH-COME-ON!

You MEAN to Tell Me that THIS Smart Phone Using Gal Can’t Figure Out How to Click “NEXT” Then “OK”???

PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!

Its a TRAP, Gunther! TRAP,TRAP,TRAP,TRAP!!!

Thank GAW, Its Ma Berger, And Just in the NICK!

’Bout TIME You SHOWED Up, Ma.

Your Bouncing Baby-Boy Is about to get VIOLATED, Here.

I think we’re seeing the beginning of a budding romance. They would be good for each other.

So it’s “Tiff” now.I like the second panel. Gunther shows kindness, Tiff shows perception and honesty.

Boy, did I call this. Mommie dearest barging in. She won’t leave either.

I can just imagine those two in a fashion design class.

Clearly nothing happened in the dorm room, not even a kiss.

@Brdshtt – I see you are knowledgeable in welding. Please drop me a line at elmerfudd2020-at-yahoo-dot-com

Like today’s cartoon. Now, if we could only get Luann’s mom, Nancy, to take Ms. Berger out clothes shopping and a makeover, maybe she wouldn’t look like a house frau from the 50’s. Come on, they are about the same age but Nancy is hot, hot, hot.

thanks for the cock block mom

Today’s is going to be one of my all time favorite ‘Luann’ strips. Gunther’s gentle kindness and Tiffany’s gratitude….nice!

Implausible, I can understand your sentiments in comparing today to when Quill and Gunthie had cookies and milk, but my take is thus:With Tiffany….. I see his gladness at the interruption as one where he was nervous about the uncharted territory of him being assertive enough to try to kiss Tiffany. His mother’s interruption was a relief because he was unsure of himself.With Quill, the anger he showed towards his mother was not IMO due to your suggestion of Gunthie wanting “private time” with Quill, but instead…. his anger towards his mother was because he was trying to present himself to Quill as more “manly” or “cool” than he thinks himself to be…. and in his “cool” image he was trying to project, having Mom bring in milk and cookies crushed his attempt at “coolness”.

For Implausible’s comment back to Mordock999 (the reply button did not work on that comment):I tend to think Ox (presuming he is on the Moony Football Team) may be a bit sad if Tiffany and Gunther start to date… but Ox will likely get (or has gotten) plenty of attention from a lot of girl fans who watch him on the field. He will be ok.

7I enjoy very much seeing this side to Tiffany’s personality. She is becoming a more complete character and not just Luann’s foil. I also like how in several of the last few Tiffany arcs, she has been shown being a kind, gentle, vulnerable person. I know that many of the panels have shown the traditional “Luann’s Foil” Tiffany as well, but I am talking about this arc, the arc where she was talking about her family life in the car, when she was helping Bernice with her new look, etc.

I think they could be good for each other… after a suitable amount of drama from friends and family.

which I did not do, for illustrative purposes..This proposal presumes copy/paste capability on the part of your device. (My Rugby 2 cell phone, for example, can’t do it.)

The fact that both Tiffand and Gunther were happy and relieved to see Mrs. Berger suggests that they are BOTH inexperienced. In the social sphere, Tiffany only knows how to be a tease. Now that a real relationship may be developing, she’s nervous and doesn’t know how to proceed.

Called it!*(Not that I’d be so crass as to mention such a thing.) The fact they’re both SO wary of getting physical is smart as well as sweet— touch the water before taking a dive!

Just what Gunther needs; a pretty rich girl to make him the kind of man his whiskers never will.

sad, but all too true

Greg is being subtle here. Tiffany is hardly a dumb blond, nor is Gunther any computer whiz. Yet these roles lubricate their relationship.

Frame 3: SO NEAR YET SO FAR…

Lord, I remember a g-friend’s mother doing that about three minutes after we’d gotten our britches back on. Wonder what’s going to happen when Mr. Gray shows up and whisks Gunther’s mommy away for the evening…

“Kiss her, you Blockhead!”

This could be the healthiest relationship Tiff has ever been in.

I think I finally understand what is happening here. Both Tiffany and Gunther are slowly but surely falling in love with each other, but they can’t accept it yet. Gunther, because he thinks nothing like this could ever happen to him. Tiffany, because she knows she is falling in love with Gunther, but can’t believe it yet.

Gunther was very much attracted to Tiffany when they were in her dorm. Nothing happened, which he regretted and probably has contributed to his pent up anger. See how Gunther has brightened up with what seems are sparks flying with Tiffany. If they start a relationship, he will be elated and completely cured of his depression.

I’m sure Guther is ready for some cookies alright.

I’d love for this to take a twist and have Tiffany pregnant, just because it would be dramatic obviously and make for a great story arc. I don’t really think it will go that road though at all. It’s just a family strip after all. Most likely, I think that they maybe just flirted, possibly kissed and Gunther freaked out at Quill cause he tends to over react with change. He might also be confused about his feelings, and feel guilty for developing feelings for Tiffany so soon after Rosa (which was a big deal for him). He’s changed a lot from his trip and he’s still trying to figure out who he is I think.

In any case, this relationship will be way more exciting than Quill/Luann no matter what happens/doesn’t happen between them. At least they have fault and depth of character. I am so done with Quill, he is way too “perfect”. He has zero faults, no matter what happens he’s always has the perfect answers for Luann, Gunther, her parents, etc. I’d actually find it interesting if he cheated on Luann just to see wonder boy do something. Am I the only one who wants him to become more realistic or just leave?

Thanks!!!!

Tiffany & Gunther? Really?
