An understandable mistake, Quill. The difference between “Lu” and “Pru” is just a couple of keystrokes.

Where are they rehearsing? I thought the Moony Drama Department needed to use Frank’s warehouse because they no longer had a rehearsal space of their own.

And the burning question is, why does Quill still have “someone else’s” contact info stored in his phone?

Given Quill’s stripes and color scheme, and the fact that he’s still holding onto his phone, maybe he can explain to Luann that he was “just a prisoner of his own device”….

This looks fun! Wonder why Quill didn’t say ‘Luann, you’re early?’ ‘Luann, what are you doing here?’ sounds a little bit like nervousness, heh heh. Steamy love scene on stage coming up?

First of all she has not reacted yet. Second it is a clear trope that GE is using here, setting us up for the possibility that QUill is moving on, might be facile and vacuous, not deserving of Luann, precisely because she cannot trust his motives. We are getting there possibly, but we are not there yet. It might take several arcs to get there, or not, but to talk about Luann’s trust issues is not only premature for this panel, but I think it is fair to say the trust issues is not Luann, but Quill’s. Anyway we have yet to see. Dear Prudence? We don’t know but we will find out presently.

Ugh. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be a cheater. That would just be so typical and disappointing.
IrisPurple almost 9 years ago
I said from the beginning and still say – Quill is NOT Luann’s life partner. I hope not, anyway. He is egotistical and self centered and may be destined for stardom. Anyway, the interest is all on Luann’s part. She deserves more than a one-sided love affair.
ACTIVIST1234 almost 9 years ago
That’s right. Who and where is Prudence?
Pointspread almost 9 years ago
The last time my wife & I went out of town my mother asked me to take plenty of film so she could see the pictures. I said “of course”, it was easier than explaining. So I can’t come down too hard on the young folks, but I CAN bust their chops a little!
Airman almost 9 years ago
Sounds interesting. Miss Prudie enter Stage right, Luann exit, Stage left into the arms of a multi-rejected Gunther. Mutual consolation begins and moves to the prop room, and soon the world shakes……..4.1 on the Richter Scale.

Return with us now to the Thrilling Days of (literally) Yesterday; and, not to take anything away from the inspirations of Bradley DeGroot (okay, let’s do it anyway), but why did TONI become a firefighter?She and Brad met in an EMT, class but she went for the full fire suppression training course.

Quill looks very sexy in that outfit with his broad shoulders and thin waist. Most people his age have a couple hundred people in their contact list. It is no big deal to make a mistake.

Prudence is in NY as far as we know. Luann is not showing any signs of jealousy today. She is only surprised that rehearsal is not over yet.
doverdan almost 9 years ago
Looks like we are finally back to some human interest here, and with Luann as well. ! !.Wonderful. ! !.Please no more warehouse, no more ‘15-years-later’ wedding, no more crazy art teacher, no more Dez and her candles.

@blunebottle said, Dun-dun-dun-dun…DUNNNN….———————————————Yes, for the first time in a long time,I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s strip to see what happens next. .I only hope that this arc does not end hanging on Saturday (never to return, like so many others.)

Lu will be dateless for the wedding, unless Gu agrees to be her “sympathy date”.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member almost 9 years ago
Implausible…. again, I agree with you in your comment:“Heh, Quill doesn’t care at all about Brad/Toni’s wedding. Again we explore Luann’s trust issues. What reason does she have to doubt Quill? He’s never done anything to stop her from trusting him.”I really like Quill a lot more at the moment than usual, because he seems to be displaying an almost “who cares” attitude about the wedding! And, you are right about her not having any reason to doubt Quill…. but that is a big part of Luann’s neurotic behavior about boyfriends. It seems fitting for her.
SF1972 almost 9 years ago
I don’t think this is a ‘cheating’ arc. Quill seems happy to see Luann, pleasantly surprised, even.
The vibe I’m getting is that he’s meeting an agent, or a rep from a theater school in NY.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member almost 9 years ago
Dave… do you regularly take photos with the “Brownie”? Where do you end up getting the photos developed these days? I haven’t tried to develop a real roll of film in probably three years or so. The Brownie I have, I use as decoration…. I have it on a shelf in my home office with a lot of other interesting cameras I have. They look nice.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member almost 9 years ago
8Overall, I am very happy that the arc has shifted to focus less on the “hoopla” wedding, and now onto Luann, (the surprisingly “unbland”) Quill, and the potentially nefarious Prudence. This should be a fun ride for the next few days!
reedkomicks Premium Member almost 9 years ago
Quills text (I hope): Hi Yank, rehearsal running late. Come by tonight. Can’t wait to see you. xoxo
seismic-2 Premium Member almost 9 years ago
We know that Quill met Prudence in NYC during the intern program. But where does she live and go to school? Since Quill had to go all the way to NYC from SoCal, maybe Pru did too. For all we know, she could be a drama student at a college not far from Pitt. If so, maybe she will have a role in the play, as an exchange student. Will she play the French Maid to Quill’s Lucky Pierre? Oo-la-la!!!

“show a youngster an old “brick” style cell phone, and they’ll ask “But how do you take pictures with it??”^Ha ha! Reminds me of “Kids React” segments* the Fine Bros. put on YouTube! - ( source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkuirEweZvM )

And especially the part in that video, where the kids find out how “torturous” it was (in the words of the one kid), to find out how to use a pay phone booth!!

I know that the 35mm isn’t as nice a find as a “Brownie”, but I can just picture the clerks’ faces if I went to the shop or to the photocenter counter at the store asking to drop off a couple of rolls!
JayBluE almost 9 years ago
“Just wait until you go into the photocenter and ask for a can of flashpowder!”^That is so true!!! And I guess if I wore a hat with a tag that said “Press” on it, and said that my name was “Scoop”…..they’d still plant a knee in my back…

“I inherited my Dad’s old “Brownie” camera … finding film for that thing is expensive!”-——————————-I found an exposed roll of Kodacolor-X 620 film in my late mother’s effects. and a place that develops it at $42.50 a pop.A brand new, in-box Brownie Hawkeye with flash, bulbs and instruction book unfortunately went through a flood.
