Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
A tiny point of detailâŠbut wasnât Lila wearing a strapped garment (presumably a nightie or camisole) when lying next to Trace? Now no straps are visible. Perhaps the Trace experience was a dream after allâŠ
@ Miss Tink and @comicsboi: Agreed. Strapless outfits are both practical and appropriate on New Yearâs Eve, and a well prepared young lady (if Lila qualifies for that description) anticipating a night elsewhere than her own bed might well carry a negligee around in her purse. On reflection, perhaps she borrowed a negligee from Traceâs wardrobeâŠ
All of you folks who are attaching labels to Lila, you keep forgetting to label to apply that also to the MEN. How can you forget so quickly a MAN was also involved. I am sick of having only labels for women.
Lilaâs a modern, adult woman. She can partake of âintimacyâ however she chooses.Some of the commenters on this strip (past and present) sound like medieval dinosaurs. If you consider her behavior âsluttyâ or âtramp-likeâ, then move to Saudi Arabia where you belong. Take your rocks with you.
âtis true, thereâs still that double standard. Girl ends up in bed with a guy, sheâs considered a slut, guy ends up in bed with a girl, itâs said he got lucky.
@sassy1 â OK then, Matthewâs an uninspiring mummyâs boy, and Trace perhaps has his own interests as much at heart as those of the youngsters he teaches (as well as likely being a closet transvestite) â although neither of these judgements pack particularly neatly into a one word âlabelâ. Let the record show that I agree with you, corzak and Elderflower, although one suspects that readers have been given the opportunity of commenting on story lines for precisely the purpose of provoking some entertaining debate.
A man scores on the 2nd date and he is a stud.A woman sleeps with a man on the 2nd date and she is a slut. .Right there is what most womens compaints are about.
sorry . . . I was little cranky this morning! But I didnât like people pickinâ on Lila . . . she looks hot with the âall-messed-upâ look! (oops . . . did I write that?)

OK, a guess - Lila was actually lying in bed with MatthewâŠ.
and she said OMG cos she realised she was fantasizing Trace there instead.
She wants to desire Matthew, but she doesnâtâŠ.
And sheâs more physically attracted to Trace than sheâs willing to be.
As for the straps⊠just a comics convention â
Without those simple little ink lines, thereâd be two naked, unmarried people in one bed, and a big pile of letters from the farm belt.
hawgowar about 13 years ago
You donât think the farm belt is worse than Peyton Place? Apparently youâve never lived there. ;-)
All that animal husbandry going on gives them ideas.

â⊠and sheâs changed her eye makeup so that itâs smeared down her face. Itâs the new look.â Yeah, rightâŠ. :-)

@sassy1: Come on, be fair â we havenât seen enough of Matthew or Trace to apply labels to them yet

Corzak YEAH!!! Your answer was so much better than mine. But we made our point.

Nah, the straps are from the LBN (Little Black Nightie) that she keeps handy in her purse when she goes out on New Yearâs Eve âjust in caseâ.

I donât care how many mean and insulting things you all say about Lila, I think sheâs delightful. ;-)

Re nudity in comics, check âThat is pricelessâ for example, and todayâs âPibgornâ for the subject in general.

I wonder when the world will wake up and realize how sexist and unfunny the âWalk of Shameâ comment really is?
