Hehe, exactly. Also, that IS a guy – wants to try out for the basketball team for a chance with Jeri (right?). Pinecone needs to get some better friends…male and female : /
No, no, no…Chelsea has it exactly right. That’s a guy, he’s suddenly interested in trying out for the basketball team in order for a chance to get with Jeri, and Johnson is saying he needs to start seeing other people…people other than Jeri and this friend of his; he’s not asking his friend out.
But I understand the confusion; Ms. Barrows’ characters do tend to have an androgynous look to them. Johnson’s eyes in the last panel are the clincher to how to read his comment.

He shoots! He doesn’t score!

Is that a guy or a girl he’s talking to?

I dont understand all the hidden language/messages in this story line so far.

In the first 3 panels Johnson looks like Jeri and Teena’s mom.

Doubt if mom would put with that behavior for too long…

Out-of-sync comic. Today, young boys wear long hair until their teens. Then they go for the nappy look; crew-cut-shaved or something like that.

And then they cover it with a baseball cap with a visor that looks like half of a drainpipe.

Don’t know, but I think it is a girl Johnson is talking to. In the final panel he’s (kinda) asking her out.
