GO BETS!!!

I see Tiffany and Bets agree on one thing.

Shock! Bets is taking charge and she knows what kind of girl Stef is? Does she mean “like Tiffany?”

Finally an assertive Bets will clean things up… err… out?

Tiffany has Bets number all right.

She should just start streaming in the room… that would make them stop quickly. LOL

When is Bets not assertive? Did I miss something?

She do.

Bets is the kind of roommate you want if you want to be treated with respect. Dez not so much…

And BOOM!

Bets bursts in like a bull in a China Shop.

Nice going “Wonder Woman.” Nip it in the Bud!

And if Dez is okay with K/S’s shenanigans, perhaps it’s time to swap rooms with Tiff.

Now.

Who would have thought Bets would be the heroine here?

Opposites do attract it looks like Bets will be running the Show today. Actually Bets is a RA Candidate

But the China Shop needs to be decontaminated.

Bets knows because she’s been dealing with that randy stud Gunther.

Tiff used to be assertive and confident but some were she lost that.

Wondering what Bets is walking into? Does she think they’re just kissing?

YEAH FOR BETS!!!!!

Rock on Bets!

Dez. Think about it. It could have been you if you still had Stef as a roommate. Count your lucky stars,

Hold your judgement, Dez. To quote Tina Turner, “What’s love got to do with it?”

¿Recuerdan cuando Gunther se enojó con Luann por “invadir” su privacidad con Bets? ¿Técnicamente no estaría ella haciendo lo mismo?

Ya veo por qué todos quieren a Dez, aunque a mí me dió un cierto desagrado en esta tira.

So … Bets is related to Barney Fife?

I’ll take Betts for the block please!

Watch and learn Tiff. This is the way.

Much to the chagrin of Tiff and Dez, in about 20 minutes, we will hear Bets yelling, “Just one more minute…!”

Does anybody here know Pipe Tobacco? He hasn’t posted in a couple of months and I’m wondering if he’s okay.

Kip or Stef need to get themselves an SUV, because there isn’t going to be any privacy at the dorm.

Hey!! Has Bets become a white girl?? Her skin tone is lighter than it used to be.

In fact, it’s the same color as Dez’.

I’m liking where this is going…another side of Bets! I was surprised Dez did say something.

Ooo is Tiff suggesting Bets and Gunth been hmmm how do you say it..lol.

The wry smile of Dez is priceless!

Wondering if the storyline is a prank on Tiffany? Stefani Bird could be a “payback” prankster?

It looks like both Tiff and Dez have Bets’s number.

YEEEEEEESS!!! BETS TO THE RESCUE!!! She’s not afraid ti stop Stef and Kip. HOORAY! Tiffany and Dez smile at each other at the end… I love this quartet of roommates!

GnK pull off some occasional, unexpected surprises. It’s a way out thought right now, but s’pose Stef and Kip are just in there re-arranging the furniture?

Well it looks like I was wrong yesterday and Bets wasn’t in room A making out with Gunther. OK the strip is being dragged back into prim respectability but I still think it’s time Tiff and Luann had boyfriends – or maybe the same boyfriend.

Bets should film this… she’d get 5 million followers within a few days..

Why did Bets skin color change?

This ain’t Bets’ first rodeo.

How far would this horny couple have gotten if Tiff had just sat down on her bed and watched? Am I the only one out here who doesn’t like Dez? I swear, she seems like she’s always on happy pills.

Reveling in love’s joy… I gotta remember that one.

I tend to be ambivalent towards Bets… Today is one of the days I like her.

Maybe it really is innocent …. maybe they just don’t want their marathon checkers game interupted?? Maybe?? ;-)

The first time Bets has not sucked. Could this be her redemption arc?

Looking back, it seems like Betts has never been the epitome of “Subtle”.

A lot is coming off, mainly the lovebirds clothes.

“Nip it in the bud” takes on whole different meaning when you throw in “Zip it.”

It takes one to know one!

Yeah, her cousin.

Bets is quickly becoming my favorite character.

And Dez is completely useless. She is so annoyingly air headed I have to suppose she is stoned 24/7.

Hey, Bets being a controlling jerk actually coming in handy. Guess it’s all in how it’s applied.

Has the strip ever been this open about sex before? Seems like a sea change in what is considered appropriate material.

I really like Bets.

I love the look Dez and Tiff are sharing in that last panel, hee!

Well, good job Bets!

Personally I’m not surprised about Bets taking charge, she is an assertive type person. One of the reasons, I feel, so many don’t like her being that way with Gunther for reasons which are not good to put it bluntly, but that is my observation. This arc has so many ways to go, Tiffany’s smirkish comment, Dez weird smile (and she knows Bets past) that again I counsel waiting. By the by we all know most of use “know her type” (Stef) judging from the comments.

Trying to zip it now is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube

Hey Bets, make up your mind… zip it or nip it?! :D

Bets is the only person in this group who knows that the ground rules have to be laid down clearly and bluntly right from the beginning for this living arrangement to work. I say kudus to her!

And the Bets goes in . And the Bets goes in. Bets keep pounding a rhythm into their brains. La de da de de, la de da de da.

Apologies to Sonny and Cher.

nice to see Tif has an unexpected advocate!

“Reveling in Love’s Joy”. That is certainly a polite way to describe what they are doing.

Frame 3. The chubby one looks totally stoned.

The old nip it ‘n’ zip it game!

Maybe having Bets around isn’t going to be such a bad Idea.

Greg is trying to show the Bets Haters that she has some good qualities.

“I’ve never SEEN a bossy female, but I have HEARD they exist.”

Be sure to stow it before you zip it, lest it be a night to remember but wish you could forget.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy from my beloved Tiffany’s visage and posture?

Both Tiffany and Dez by their side glances know who exactly takes charge and goes charging….. Wonder if she’ll be whipping her phone out to document the occasion for her and Steff’s followers. Could make or break the website. It would be tastefully done, I’m sure! A different spin on her “makeup” website! ;-))

For once, Tif will be glad Bets is there to take charge since Tif is doing nothing about it. Bets is right, stop it now or Tif’s bed will be in the common room.

At least Bets is stepping up to help Tiff. Dez is proving to be worse than useless.

Well, they got a room, didn’t they?

Or, like Bets?

Just run in there every time with a camera taking video. They will get the message fast.

Dez is the type who just goes with the flow….of anything…. live and let live, nothing phases her. But this is not happening in her room. I’m glad Bets is drawing the line.

Dez is not stoned. Stoners tend to be self-centered and she is not drawn that way. Perhaps a different way of looking at life, but wait the arc is only on Tuesday.

Aw, leave the kids alone, There just playing kid games.

Hot dang! You go, girl!!! Bets has just redeemed herself, imho.

What if….what if, I say…what if there’s NOTHING going on in there? What if they’re rearranging the room using Tiffany’s suggestion of bunk beds? Hmmmm? Time will tell…

Gonna be a great wailing and flossing of teeth, heads and shoulders will roll, a great butting of butt-heads…

Since Dez seems to have no problem with Stef essentially pushing her room-mate out in order to have sex (I am assuming) with Kip, then perhaps she (Dez) should switch places and room with Steffi; let Tiff and Bets be together (as previously expected).

Ruh-roh! Bets in charge! Bets taking over! Bets storming the lovenest!

Look out for Bets! While Dez dithers and Tiffany silently fumes, Bets “knows Stef’s type” (don’t ask how) and commits to Direct Action.

Now, gentle readers, where will this turn of events end up?

Bets will wipe the smile off of Stef’s face!

Nip it and Zip it! I am loving this dorm. Now get rid of Stef and bring in Bern. No one cares about Stef and Kip’s sexcapades. And give Luann a decent story arc. Boyfriend, job, college – something.

I have known a few people like Dez. They are not usually under the influence of anything. They just have the ability to remain calm and unflappable in pretty much any situation. And in Dez’s defense in this situation (if she needs a defense), though she made the arrangements for the roommates to get the quad, she is in no way responsible for being a police officer. Each roommate has the responsibility to ensure that she isn’t being treated unfairly by another.
