    Why spoil it? Just let things unfold. It’s a lot funnier that way.

    I think Kacey is misunderstanding what Donna means….

    BTW, I see they’re in what appears to be a Starbucks, from the window-logo in panel 1.

    Sisyphos, I think Kacey is more worried that Donna is hitting on her.

    I mentioned this as one of my three possibilities yesterday. Of course, if you mention enough possibilities, one of them is almost sure to hit. Just call me Jeane Dixon.

    hm, I wonder if younger folks would know who the heck Jeane Dixon was and what her chief claim to fame was? I’m trying to think of a more recent prognosticator ….. can’t ……

    I’ll just call you Jeane Dixon

    I’m new to this strip, so maybe this is ridiculous, but are we sure that Kacey isn’t Pierre in drag?

    I won’t say it’s ridiculous, but Pierre would need more than a wig and falsies to look like Kacey. He’d need facial prostheses to get the jaw and nose right. Lucas, on the other hand, would only need to shave his mustache…

    Actually, when Kacey showed up in the turtleneck yesterday I fell into the “Pierre gave her a hickey” camp, but today it seems clear that Kacey’s afraid that Donna’s hitting on her…

    Yeah…what’s with the “look” Donna has on her face?

    “Donna is gone Lesbian” is improper grammar. The correct wording is “Donna done gone Lesbian.”

    It’s the past imperturbable tense (used only in months with an “R” in them).

    fritz, since it’s the third person inexcusable past imperturbable tense shouldn’t it actually be “Donna done been gone Lesbian”?

    The Lucas theory would explain a lot! It would also bring up a lot of icky speculation…like, what went on last night? Uh-uh, no way. I’ll stick with the “Donna appears to be hitting on her” theory. You believe what you want to believe, I always say.

    NOLA, You’re thinking of the third person insufferable case, which would be called for only after Donna and Kacey have gotten together, quarrelled and separated, given it one last shot, and then broken up for good amidst tears and recriminations. But if all this stretches out until May, you’d be back to the past defenestrative tense (no “R”, you see), and you’d need to say “Donna up and Lesbianed.”

    SIGH. What are they teaching in the schools these days?

    Now that it’s been spoiled (or has it?), I still can’t believe that Friday’s comic went over so many people’s heads. Figure out that strip and you knew where this week’s story was headed.

    As for the grammar lesson, shouldn’t all of those sentences be interjections, as in:

    ”Aw lawd, Donna done gone and went all lesbian on us!”

    You have a point, raz, interjections can never be overused. How about:

    HOLY MOLY, Donna by gum runn oft and got herself (Great Googly-Moogly!) Lesbianized, FERCRYINOUTLOUD!!!”

    Past persnickitive, irremediable (void by law in MA, NH, VT)

    fritzkringle: I like “lesbianed.” That’s the first time I know of that anyone has verbed that particular noun.

    You need to be a cunning linguist to think up these things.

    Who’s Jeane Dixon?

    Oh ye of such youth. Follow Gweedo Murray’s lead…

    There once was a young girl named Kasey, Who thought Donna’s actions rather racy. But she will find out, That’s not what Donna’s about. By then, though, she will have bought Donna things lacy.

    fritz, my error. For some reason I was thinking that the original statement was in the speech balloon in the comic, in which case my tense would be correct. I bow to your superior linguistic and lexicographic verisimilitude.

    No need to apologize. It is through our mistakes that we learn.
