That’s the tea-cket!

Is this the start of a beautiful relationship.

Everyone needs a Dez in their lives.

Gee.

The “libidinous” effects of that tea wore off pretty darn quick.

Love Potion #9 it ain’t.

And Dez?

Be sure to expose Tiff the less glamorous aspect of gathering tea, like planting and harvesting. You know getting dirty.

And don’t let her pull that “sprained arm” stuff on ya, either. ;-)

Maybe Ox will help Tiffany on this business idea?

A 30/70 split on the profits?

Okay now we are into a money venture but with a money venture need a plan and have not seen one yet. I heard ideas but no plans.

I like this. I think the three of them could come up with an equitable division of labor based on their individual talents, have fun, and have a successful venture.

And leave the useless little cheerleader on the outside looking in and seething with jealousy!

T’s Teas is okay.. but I kinda like ‘Herbal Insani-Tea’. lol

Looks like Dez is open to spreading love.. and making some money.

.

So will we have a new arc on Monday??

Tiffany can get credit in an economics course for selling tea, in the same way that Gunther got credit in an engineering course for designing and sewing a bridesmaid’s dress. Moony Uni, where a diploma is essentially a participation trophy.

Kip even looks alive & interested…“Kip’s Sips”…clever. ᕙ⁠ ⁠(⁠°⁠ ⁠~͜⁠ʖ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠)⁠ ⁠ᕗ

Kip’s Drips.

So we lose the spice of a potential love affair to the attraction of capitalism which will go quickly into Davy Jones’ locker.

So…Kip and Tiff will go into business together, and from this, a romance blooms.

And even if it’s illegal (who knows WHAT is in that tea?), at least that obnoxious Stef will be shut out for good!!

I like “Kip’s Sips.” Dez is sickeningly generous.

Tiffany has returned to focus on the practical, thinking about both selling and getting good grades, I like when she does that. Kip seems to have decided to keep hitting on her and I hope he stays friendly/funny like this. Dez is amazing, her joke surprised them both and she’s more than happy to be able to collaborate, she really wants to spread the love. Watching these three make a stand for a fair will be really fun.

It’s Dez-tea-ny

Can Greg show T-Teas in a family strip?

This sounds like the beginning of a beautiful partnership.

They are a good trio.

Looks like the libidos cooled off before the cups of tea.

So…. prediction wise… it appears to me that this business venture will unfold this next week or at some return to this arc in the future…. and amongst the “hilarity ensues” jokes, it will be there that Tiff and Kip will recognize their attraction for each other…. and their budding romance will begin…. causing Steph to steam and steep like a kettle of tea in a teapot….. without…… “shoug” (her way of saying “sugar”).

With the twists and turns of misdirection plays in mind, it appears that Kip and Tiff are showing signs of attraction and business sense; raising what I think is an inevitable conflict between Tiff and Steffi over his Kipness, who might want more than the sex Tiffany’s shallowness offers, while the three might, again, this is Summer, be another hilarious business venture. Bets isn’t there, in an area which is her bailiwick though, marketing and making money. She’s at Gunnie’s now. sleeping there more often? One of so many hanging arcs.

Younger crowd would lean toward the “Kip’s Sips” brand.

Make it a subscription tea club and call it DezTeaNation.

we need more Dez

I hope this can be done with the fairness between friends and not the lion’s share to management compared to the farmer’s payment. In other words, taking advantage of Dez

yes Tiff, you can’t sell something that isn’t yours to sell much less name it after yourself. You are lucky that Dez is so generous and might be willing to work with you. I see a summer of working in the garden.

For non-materialist, Dez sure has embraced Tiffany’s idea.

Love the facial expressions in panel 2. They are so different from each other, in contrast to panel 1

They had better be careful of what ingredients she is putting in the “tea”. The Feds might take a dim view. 5 to 10 I would say off hand…

How sweet! Dez fronted her a quarter for distro.

I knew a guy who started with a coffee cafe business, and then developed a tea business that eventually went nationwide. Years ago I heard he had sold his business for around twenty million.

Little Miss Cheerleader isn’t going to like this new partnership

There are times when Dez seems to be the perfect picture of altruistic magnanimity.

Dez loves to be a teaser!

Like many people of color in comics, films and TV, Dez is a perfect humanitarian without a single shred of selfishness, an artifical ideal person who could never exist. But serves to show white people who they discriminate against. And to be a total bore without any reality.

Tiffany cannot just steal Dez’s tea and sell it as her own. Tiff is not even discussing it with Dez, just planning what she wants to do. Bad Tiffany!

Am I sensing a proximi-tea with Kip and T?

If Dez wanted to sell her tea, she could do it herself. She could hire any help she needed and keep the profits to buy more product. Dez does not need Tiffany’s help with this.

Did Birdshtt really stop commenting on this site?

I see G&K are still doing the alliterative/rhyming names thing, with 2 entries this time. Their well of creativity really is a mile wide and an inch deep.

And does this mean the whole “Tiff’s Table For Two” idea is officially abandoned? I guess it has to be, if Tiffany won’t even spend time in her own mansion anymore. Still, at least Tiffany’s multiple ideas fit a pattern of wanting to be a business tycoon. Having multiple ideas in the same general ballpark makes a lot of sense, and is less frustrating than Luann’s constantly getting obsessed with a specific goal only to abandon it completely at the very first setback.

Hmmm….yeah.

Dez will do anything to get help in the garden. Pick up that shovel Tiffany!

Love the expressions of Kip and Tiff in the second panel! Just a few pen strokes = dumbfounded looks!

Forced to accept you need help, it’s good when help is offered.

At this point, I don’t know who is more annoying! Dez? Or Steph!

this will be better than the storage business which requires space. Working in the garden is much nicer than carrying heavy boxes.

Such a teas.

Why not D.K.T(ea)s to have all 3 initials?

Nice idea, Tiff. Shades of nail polish and warehouses! This could go wrong in so many ways. Will they print labels, bag the tea, etc. I like that Tiff is thinking of her Economics grade, as well as making money.

I have a small inkling that Kip and Tiffany will end up together.

Stefani Bird got her $600 registration fee for her top cheer competition. Kip Lee won’t be a priority until the contest is over and done.

Good job Tiff. Everyone wins.

I love the name DezTeas.

T’s Teas sounds like the word “tease” which Tiffany is.

Sunday: TJ tells Shannon they’re having “Welsh Rabbit” for dinner …. =:-O

Dez is being very kind and unselfish. Hope these two don’t take advantage of that.

Is Kip hoping to partner with Tiffany to sell tea? I foresee an explosion when Stef finds out.

Will they include rolling papers?

It will all end in tea-rs… Tiffany can’t keep a business.

Feel the goodness! It’s oozing from Dez. T’s Teas may do well enough, though maybe a companion flavor called Kip’s Sips wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Things are looking so upbeat here, SOMETHING IS BOUND TO GO WRONG!

I think D’s Teas has a better ring to it!

So Tiff and Dez have forgotten the poker game scam Kip and Stef were running? Kip won’t lend Stef money and suddenly he’s a good guy?

And to think, the main reason Tiffany is in business class was so she could create TiffAsNails, a sports spa where she could use her cosmetics skills. I’m starting to wonder if that will ever happen.
