Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
But, Bernice, what about Piro? Itâs not like heâs going to be at the bowling alley, will see you with Nil, and suddenly decide youâre the one he wantsâŚ
It will probably be a huge miscommunication. Bernice will think that the double date will be Luann and Jack along with her and Piro. So she will bring Piro to the bowling alley where Luann, Jack, and Emo are waiting.
How does asking if Bernice will go bowling with Nil turn into âSure. Double-date w/Jack. Tonite?â What we donât see is the text that Luann sent to Bernice. It could have been:
1.Why is it that guys who barely know you want to go out with you? This guy in the art class with me and Jack, Nil, who only met you one time, wants to go bowling with you. Can you believe it?
2.You hate bowling donât you?
3.This guy in art class wants to go out with you and he talked to me to ask you out. Do you know that I feel like your pimp?
4.Are you done with your classes for this semester and do you want to go bowling with me and Jack? Jack has a guy for you and heâs a gum-chewer.
5.Remember how you promised Gunther you would help him inventory his collection of classic sewing needles unless something better came up? Well, something better has come up. Interested?
Are we sure that Bernice realizes that the person who wants to bowl on the double date is Nil? The third panel makes that a bit unclear. She might think she needs to arrive with someone, possibly Piro, since she has his number. Bernice answered the text referencing Jack, and recall the arc started with them talking about Jack and Piro, the kiss and all that preceded that. And itâs Monday, so itâs possible that Nil might get disappointed.
I am just enjoying the âfalling in loveâ experience that these young characters are experiencing. Yup it was a hard time, but it was an interesting and also partly a fun time.
Funny how Luann says she canât speak for BerniceâŚbut then, in the third panelâŚ.she spoke for BerniceâŚof course, though, Bernice lets everyone know that she isnât âspoken forâ. At least, right now.

Hmmmm . . so what, is she playing the field now? I thought she craved Piro. Or has she decided to see other people so as to objectively assess each kiss and compare it with Piroâs unsatisfactory one.
For those of you who are wondering why Bernice would agree to a date âso soonâ after all the other stuff. Maybe she is just trying to not overthink it, and go with the flowâ instead of pltting all kinds of convoluted ways to make things happen.
Bowling was more fun when u had to learn and go to keep score. Anyone ever bowl in Canada? They have 6 pins, smaller balls with no holes and you get 3 tries each lane.
Good for Bernice. She went with it, and didnât over analyze.
If standard drama/comedy constructs hold in this case, I think it is very likely we may find that Piro happens to have a part-time job at the bowling alley.
I hope that Bernice does not choose between Piro and Nil quickly. I could see this (and would like this) being a long term arc that keeps reappearing every few weeks for a year or better.
There are always more comments in here than likes on the panel itself. People are much too involved. The story line is interesting, the charactors are evoving nicely, and things tend to work out so why is there so much bickering?
Bern is through with Piro. She wasnât feeling him. This whole Jack and Luann thing just doesnât sit right with me. Their couple sum is just not adding up. But then again when Brad and Toni first started out, I didnât have much faith in that working. But if this is the way its going, Jackâs gonna need some real character development.
Bernice is probably eager to see if she feels anything for another guy. She is confused as to why she felt nothing from Piroâs kiss. Though I suspect the reason is it was no romantic. Piro was only thanking her for being willing to face trouble on his account. I think he only sees her as a friend.

Actually, Iâm impressed with Nil. He wanted a date and had a suggestion, too. Thatâs becoming a lost skill. Kudos for Bernice accepting.

Doesn´t mean Luann asked more if she wanted bowling â not that she mentioned Nil.

Having binocular vision probably helps with bowling. Nil relies on monocular vision but bowling was just a pretext anyway.

Bernice is asking a Question about the double date. Luann can simply answer âNo, just you and Nil will be bowlingâ.

I wouldnât go out with a man who had to have someone else ask me out. That was okay in 7th grade, but not for adults.

Bernice is probably eager to see if she feels anything for another guy. She is confused as to why she felt nothing from Piroâs kiss. Though I suspect the reason is it was no romantic. Piro was only thanking her for being willing to face trouble on his account. I think he only sees her as a friend.
