Actually I’m kind of down with this. Remember how Gunther became Gun when Bets moved in on him? I think Tiff could actually bring out some of the potential I see in him.
I just hope she gives him a makeover, the way she did for Gunther. Once one can look at him without barfing, and considering the affection and compassion he shows for his cat, he might be salvageable. They do have some stuff in common.
Poor Dez, what sadness in that “I’m used to”. She shouldn’t let Stef walk all over her like that. Les’ secret isn’t exactly a revelation, but how will Tiffany deal with him now? The fact that she burst out laughing when she heard it doesn’t seems like the beginning of a love story. Not to mention the sad prospect of having Ann Eiffel as a mother-in-law.
This could get awkward. Les and Tiff developed a real friendship when they dealt with Ann together, but it’s never seemed romantic on Tiff’s part. Didn’t he even kiss her once? I can’t see her with Les or Ox. Ox is sweet, but he’s been portrayed as somewhat one-dimensional. She needs to meet someone new.
Les has some good qualities and he helped Tiff get rid of Awful Ann. Uncle Al seems to have a lot of money and Les may get some of it. I wouldn’t be shocked to find that Tiffany may like him.
we’ve known about Les’s crush on Tiff for a while; but can it be reciprocal? If so, can Tiff motivate him into have some goals in life besides washing dishes, playing video games? Punk is a good listener.
I guess it fits with this strip that the “big reveal” was something that everyone, including Tiffany, already knew for years. It even mentions on the strip’s TV Tropes page that Les was into Tiffany throughout high school. And in college, Gunther’s jealousy of the two hanging out was because he knew Les had a thing for Tiffany and he didn’t trust Les. He explicitly said so to her! So this is hardly breaking news, unless of course Les’s previous crush on Tiffany was retconned away just like Gunther’s semester-long trip to Peru and Prudence’s entire existence.
So Tiff is acting like she had absolutely no idea Les had a crush on her? Seriously?? Most of the other characters in the strip have known it for years.
I know G&K like to make Luann appear clueless and stupid every chance they get. Looks like they are now going to do the same for Tiffany.
Tiffany seems more amused than thrilled by the news of a crush. However, Stef will be thrilled by this news, since she wants to ship Tiff with ANYONE but her Kip!!!!
Since G&K seem to be resistant to the idea of introducing new main characters to the strip, I guess Tiffany and Les wouldn’t be all bad. He does have a good head for business schemes, and she hasn’t had a boyfriend in like…her whole life.
And better Les than Ox!! (Since we only have the existing characters to choose from and Gunther is taken). Ox would be HORRIBLE. He still has to think about how to tie his shoes every morning….. first the rabbit goes in the hole, then…..
cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy with a twinge of giddiness and bilateral gynandromorph
My impression is that Tiffany is special to the male readers. They don’t care if Kip bangs Stef all night long, or if Gunther and Bets get laid in their van, only stopping for burgers at Micky D.’s, but guys are more jealous of Tiffany and think she deserves the best and the richest. No Walmart or White Castle in her future

Tiff is missing the subtle message from Dez that her loud giggling was worse than Steph’s moaning, cuz she’s already adapted…
…also, I wonder if Tiff’s excitement at having some gossip might be misconstrued as excitement about the crush…

They say that opposites attract, but in this case I’m not too sure Tiff will gravitate towards Les. Too unrefined.
