    And so we bid a fond farewell to Nil.

    Bernice is now free to find someone she feels is good enough for her.

    Will we ever find out who Fred is? And does Fred get to see his other eye?? LOL

    Bernice is gonna die a virgin in a house full of cats, so why do we waste so much time with her meaningless relationship drama? Surely there’s other characters we could be focusing on; characters who actually have arcs and character growth and don’t go back to their factory settings after each story?

    So what happens next week? Do we get a week of Bernice’s post-break-up blues? Now if it went something like this: (Luann) Bernice, come down off that sill. You’re only four feet off the ground nothing will hurt you if you fall. You’ve got to get up much higher for that to happen!"

    (Bernice) I can’t I get vertigo if I get any higher off the ground!

    That might be funny.

    Or we could get a week of Leslie playing with Punk. Or a week of Gunther not doing anything because without Bets he has nothing. Bets is in the Quad which has become a vast disappointment. Putting four women in one room and Greg can’t get anything going except for horndog Stef. If we’re lucky it will be summer vacation, Tiffany will move back into the Mansion, hire a nice young Hiapanic pool boy and get her stef on.

    But we’re most likely stuck with Shannon because Greg hates children.

    I’m impressed by Bernice. I was sure she would have an immediate jealous reaction towards Nil right after hearing that he might start dating someone else. Has she really grown up, after all?Dunno, she’s smiling now, but I keep thinking that if Nil and Fred start dating, she will sneak after them, insanely jealous.

    The arc aint over if Bernice looks down and notices Nil’s epic creative surge, and…

    .

    .

    Neither one notices the security camera mounted next to the door, prominently displayed, ala Chekov’s Gun style, back there in panel one.

    .

    .

    Will Bernice be proud or ashamed that in one stroke, er…., um…, wave of her hand,…

    .

    She is now getting more hits on the internet than Bets.

    Nil’s had his turn, and will now recede into the background, to be brought forth on occasion as needed, like Mrs. Horner or Phelpsie-Fogarty. BTW, speaking of Mr. Fogarty, methinks he is based upon bassist Tim Bogert. Do a little Google image search and see for yourself.

    So, romance thwarted once again for Bernice, once again, in a most surprising, and for most here, a very discomfiting way. I notice by the way, that there is apparently no skin to skin contact in the handshake, as Nil seems to be drawn wearing gloves. Nil is a comic strip 21st century send-up of a century-old Bohemian Paris artiste. Bisexual possibly (too much for so many here, but the reality of bisexuality in the population makes prejudice against merely those who are another “other” hatred and misunderstanding (sorry but sometimes a bleeding heart must preach) we’re dealing with in this contested social, political and cultural period we’re living in currently. Poor Bern, but I think the romance is still in play between these two in the end. Hilarity ensues, but it’s kinda sad though.

    Young love is so consuming that the people involved don’t realize how special it can be and how heartbreaking it can be at the time of involvement. For some reason, I really like Nil and was hoping for a sweet coming of age romance with Bernice. Maybe G&K are saving this for Luann and someone in the future. Ahhhhhhhh, young love!

    This was such a waste of a potentially interesting relationship. I was originally happy when Nil was finally being considered a romantic option for somebody but once again, certainly were Bernice is concerned, romance is quashed for no good reason. (I’m attracted to you therefore I shouldn’t date you.) I am also afraid that’s the last we’ll see of Nil, who was for me the most intriguing guy to show up in the strip other than Piro, who was also eliminated from the cast and who Bernice also ruled out as a boyfriend…

    And so it ends.

    With many unanswered questions remaining.

    Unfortunately, as usual.

    So. That’s leaves Gunther/Bets the only active, unmarried Main Characters still dating. (And NO, Stef and Kip DON’T Count)

    For those that have been screaming for this arc to end, looks like you’re about to get your “wish.”

    Just when things were starting to get kinda interesting……., ;-)

    wow… not how I thought this would end. It seems that the part of Bern that Nil got a charge out of was her propensity for rules and structure which led to the rigid modernist line drawings. Still I believe they have some physical passion for each another, but it stays buried. True to form, Nil’s passion for his art is greater that for Bern. But will Fred satisfy him?

    I must say, getting Nil “right” is hard. He is hardly the same dude who, in the beginning, could scarcely be persuaded to squeeze out a grudging monosyllable. Now he’s positively chatty (if still on the enigmatic side), and his hormonal side isn’t all that Platonic—Platonic hormones don’t raise hickeys. And he’s hardly passion’s plaything on the Alt Sex circuit, if this Fred has been courting him in vain. Not at all waving the Dannon Yogurt flag, “Stir up fruit from bottom”.
