it’s like Kip and Tiffany aren’t learning anything

I looked up fenugreek, has anyone tried it? What’s it taste like?

I do like Dez…I think everyone needs some Dez in their life.

I think the strip would be interesting if Kip breaks up with a “GIVE ME AN L” for Loser Stef and dates Tiff. No one is perfect but Stef is scraping bottom.

At least Kip was willing to try the tea. He may be closer to Dez’ wavelength than Tiff at the moment. Although he does seem to be paying attention to Tiff.

Kip and Tiff are flirting with each other and testing the romance waters.

If you can’t beat it, lick it.

Cute labels are DELICIOUS! lol

.

Uh oh.. I think I hear Stef coming up to the door…

I like how Tiff’s slimmed down a bit. (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠). Is Kip giving Tiff the "eye"in the last panel? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!

The way he is looking at Tiff in the last panel I think he’d like to taste her labels.

A little bit of Yin Yang philosophy?

Stefani Bird is at the Tourney?

In the first panel, Tiff looks alarmingly like Steffi.

I wonder if her dad has that same sinister grin when closing business deals.

Wanna bet Tiff’s “cute” face will be adorning that “cute” label.

This strip got creepy yo

I wonder if Dez and company ever thought of stocking food for sale for those post tea-inbibing hunger pangs.;-/

Dez – The thing is, Universal Love’s not very interesting..

“Open your heart and share the love?”

Nice thought, Dez.

Only in France, it’s “Open your wallets and share the profits.”

And good luck in future, teaching those automated factory robots about “love” once your tea business takes off and there’s a HUGE demand.

“cute labels taste much better.” So does school paste.

Tiffany has to thank that Dez is very patient and understanding. Her constant sarcastic jokes would annoy anyone. It’s not a good attitude to have with a friend who has decided to follow your idea and who puts her precious ingredients and her, even more, precious knowledge at your disposal. Dez probably thinks Tiffany is making these jokes (almost Bernice style, but Bernice would be even meaner) in order to flirt with Kip, which is actually what seems to be happening.

Our beloved Ann❤️Eiffel thinks you should share your credit card and bank account numbers.

How about something more interesting… Like a sex scandal at the fire station, or Shannon’s mother suddenly appears and starts wreaking havoc?

Spiritual vs practical. At least they’re getting along and making it work. Then again, it’s hard to hate on Dez. She’s too loveable.

For some, it’s all about Packaging and Marketing.

I think this is laced with something for her to have that kind of Zen.

I’m with Dez here. Love is an important ingredient.

Dez understands something about business that maybe Tiff doesn’t, i.e. that you sell a message in addition to a product. The product is wrapped in the messaging.

I’m with Dez. Nobody made meatballs like my Grandma. She would show other people what she did, they would do the same thing, but they weren’t as good. I’ve always thought that was the missing ingredient.

Thought they finished mixing and packaging the the tea yesterday or so.

What’s she gonna do? Blow a kiss to the tea? Take it on a date?

EVERYDAY but one since March 27th! Kip has been drawn in this strip everyday but one since 3/27. Does that make him a regular character now?

Tiffany knows what love tastes like. If not, I’m sure Stef does!

sure, love has a “taste”.

I am starting to like this guy.

That final panel speaks volumes.

Tiff’s hair is some of the worst in comicland. e.g., today in the first panel her bangs are even with her eyes. In the third panel they’re a ½" shorter! Where her eyebrows should be.How did that happen? Speaking of eyebrows, they’re ridiculous as usual: on top of her bangs, in the middle of her forehead…

Love has a taste when one has a taste for love.

Looks like we’re going to have some merry making going on

Especially if you use glue with flavors…

Kip has tasted lust, Dez. Will that do?

If she’s going be written to sing to the tea while caressing it for a few minutes before packaging it, I won’t question it. I would be amused if Dez made Kip and Tiff taste one version with the added love and the other without love. Would it still be arousal tea without the love ingredient or would it backfire and constipate their urges?

Boy, “Pheromones R Us” between Tif & Kip, aided and abetted by Dez’s tea and her earth mother/love persona. I think this arc might be more about a possible change in relationship, adding Tiff and Kip, causing WW3 when Steffi finds out.

Oh, the jaded ones…

I’ll bet there’s pot in it.

crankshaft and this comic neck and neck for excitement this week

When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars it won’t change the taste.

There is nothing tastier.. than the juices of love.

And the Snarky snark continues. They’ll appreciate it when they sell out at the fair.

Love does have a taste. Dez is right.

Dezs special tea is not meant to be commercialized. It’s a love/spiritual thing

Great. Maybe my beloved Tiffany will learn to love.

Here we go. Kip all of a sudden is quite the knight in shining armor, so all of that raunchy sex with Stef and his hound dog habits are going down the rabbit hole. Looks like Tiffany is going to be his next conquest, but they will have reformed his character by then to make him into the fine, caring, attentive, chaste and honorable young man she deserves

I hope Stephanie found a cute guy to hang out with at the cheer competition because being loyal to Kip would be useless. He’s already cheated on her in his mind.

I have no idea how one would “open your heart and share the love”. I doubt that Tiff and Kip do either. They will never be like Dez. They can only make the tea the way they do. I think it will taste the same without the “love” .

Slightly bitter and a maple syrup taste

He’s tired of Steff’s “stuff”. He’s moving onto the next eligible bachelorette.

I’m not touching that line, Tiffany. I’d get banned.

I fear the tea will only have 1/3 of the love in it that it needs to succeed…

Fenugreek needs a warning label. They are “These may include nettle rash (otherwise known as hives or urticaria) anywhere on the body, or a tingling or itchy feeling in the mouth. In people allergic to fenugreek, eating it is just one way that symptoms can occur.” Also for some people who suffer from peanut allergies.

Is she subtly trying to matchmake Tiff and Kippy? Hmmmm…

Likely the jars will cost more than what they sell the tea for.

So, go into the grocery store to lick ketchup bottles often?

Tiff is focusing on the potential $$$ while Kip seems to be focusing on Tiff. Dez just goes merrily along making her tea…

Kip has a valid point.

I suppose they need cute labels to go with the cutesy jars.

Tomorrow,Kip tries “Zen Football” and winds up at the bottom of a 30-man pileup.

Isn’t it illegal, or at least against the health code, to sell food or beverages in simple, unsterilized jars?

The snoozy fest continues …

Tiff and Kip keep giving each other that look. Just roll a joint and go party in Tiff’s room.

rolls eyes at Dez…

Good luck on the venture … CDB consumables is going to become the Nation norm …

Tiff? Kip? Hey, guys, don’t diss Dez!

Remember, she is giving you the gift of “T’s Teas.”

How soon the worm turns, it seems. Not a good scene. The only promising element is the increasing interest in each other between the Tiffster and the Kipster….

I googled teas containing fenugreek. I found some but no brands that are available in my local grocery store.

Regarding “spice” being (or not being) banned, I found this when I looked it up. (I’m sorry I forgot to write down the source). My apologies if someone already mentioned this. (I’m not feeling well and have to cut short my comment reading – no fair!0

Spice is a nickname for a substance containing one or more synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic cannabinoids were originally designed to mimic the effects of cannabis.

As i mentioned above, I’m unwell and have to cut my comment-reading time short, to my dismay. But on a quick glance through, I don’t see anything from Ivlax. Have I just missed seeing something, or is he not here today?

Didn’t these business students learn anything from the “waremanse” debacle? Get licensing, get insurance, insurance and insurance.
