Transcript:
Brad: "Why do you wear makeup?" Toni: "I only wear a little" Brad: "But why any? You're beautiful. And it seems like such a hassle" Toni: "My aunt taught me when I was 12. It's part of me now. I feel naked without it" Brad: "What about when you're actually naked while wearing makeup? How do you feel then?" Toni: "Undressed"

Okay, Mr. Evans, let’s just pan now to the fire in the fireplace. We get it. Honest.
(And may I add, “About bloody time”?

You just know Shannon is going to show up any minute now.

My parents got married on April 1st. I never asked them what that was about.

As Yakko Warner would say, “Goodnight everybody!”

Lotsa ways to get the Brad/Toni thing done and still keep this thing reasonably “family.”. We could see Toni pulling a sweater on over her bra – and we see the sun rising through the window. We see a caption – someone asking her, “what time do you have to get in?”. The last frame they’re both eating breakfast in the kitchen…
Angelalex242 over 11 years ago
The Brad/Toni thing already IS done…at least, to about 90 percent of us. Maybe she’s leading up to a belated acceptane of the proposal. That’d be honest to god movement!
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Ok Brad, time to propose… well, on Feb 14th anyway
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
They must be at Brad and TJs place, the famous arched doorway is behind them

You’re replying to Leviticus’s comment:
lights fade down and the fun starts..It a 3D world, yes. Here, if they are at Toni’s house, Shannon will interrupt the party. If they are at Brad’s, Toad Juice will come in and ask them to help him rob an orphanage.^^LOLOLOLOL

At least she doesn’t wear a ton of makeup like Tiffany.
Mordock999 over 11 years ago
Wow. Brad pays Toni a “Your beautiful” comment and it goes RIGHT over Her head.Son, I would FORGET about getting to “Second Base” with THIS gal, today. She’s ALREADY got YOU Horribly Domesticated, and probably got some REAL Work for You to do, like MOVING a Heavy piece of Furniture UPSTAIRS….,

I once complimented my wife on what great job she did with her make-up; she always looked so beautiful. She looked at me and said “I never wear make-up.”
DaJellyBelly over 11 years ago
That’s disgusting.
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
@DaJellyBelly
Hey, chill out, it’s just a little joke ;)
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
And yes, Toni was just kidding… pulling Brad’s chain, as it were!
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
This is about as risque as I expect to see in the strip, but it certainly implies a lot more than what it shows….
vwdualnomand over 11 years ago
although some women wear too much makeup.
Angelalex242 over 11 years ago
Also, Toni is one of the brighter women on the strip. She didn’t miss the beautiful comment. Brad will be rewarded later.

“Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?”

11-24 will be my 13th. It IS a great day for a wedding :)

Awkward levels are being watched closely…SOMEONE is going to interrupt, I just know it.
ACTIVIST1234 over 11 years ago
How adorable! They’re even dressing alike now— same color of denim, t-shirts are almost the same (sleeve lengths are different).*Good prediction, Levy. Someone— whoever it is— is going to interrupt! It’s only Monday, so there’s a lot of adventure and angst for the two of them this week. (Last time, Shannon turned off the heat by disappearing— sleeping in the warm clothes.)
ACTIVIST1234 over 11 years ago
During the weekend I made a TERRIBLE discovery about Luann. We canot ask Mr. Evans to progress too fast because…*If she goes to community college and graduates.She gets an office job ANDShe becomes “Cathy”! You know, the husband-obsessed 30-something by Cathy Guissewite (sp?). She was good in one strip, but we do not need another!
2Goldfish over 11 years ago
Brad, you are so dumb… why does any girl wear make-up?
Duh…
Kydex29 over 11 years ago
Not everything has to be spelled out. It’s been made perfectly clear on several occasions that Toni has given herself to Brad (the bow in her hair one Christmas, the intense need to get Luann to babysit recently). But this stuff only lasts so long without commitment, and I can’t wait to see Brad change the one thing about Toni he can’t stand – her last name.
David Rickard Premium Member over 11 years ago
Okay… now I’m thinking of Toni naked—which is good.But I’m also thinking of Brad naked—which is BAD! So very, very BAD!
LadyJ4444 over 11 years ago
Doesn’t it bother anyone that she didn’t thank Brad for the compliment? Or that her aunt had her wearing makeup at age 12?
muffin05 over 11 years ago
Not sure what we’re supposed to make of this. I think Greg likes to play with us.
cebec over 11 years ago
Brad doesn’t want to know why Toni wears makeup. That question was obviously a set-up to his unimaginatively worded complement.
Now it’s high time for Brad to drop the words and move to action. I’m waiting.
What I want to know is why Toni was apparently being raised by her aunt. Where was her mom? Did they live in different trailer parks?
BlitzMcD over 11 years ago
I wouldn’t count on things progressing too fast here. After all, Luann has been in high school for more than twenty years.
Comic Minister Premium Member over 11 years ago
I love the lipgloss you have on now Toni!
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Great, now even my link posts are being pulled….
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Brad no longer has the largest head (in the physical sense) in the strip… he can finally find a hat that fits!
Popeyesforearm over 11 years ago
their banter alludes to them already having done the horizontal mambo.
melmarsh9v over 11 years ago
So now we know the subtle difference between being naked and being undressed!
RonBerg13 Premium Member over 11 years ago
Yeah! I mean, that look on her face… Wow!
Krupsch over 11 years ago
ummm Donny? Either take less medicine, or more. Whatever you need.

Don’t you ever shut up?
MrMister over 11 years ago
Isn’t it time for Dirk to show up all “reformed” and everything, just in time to mess things up?
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Hope sooner than that—let’s get outta the Archie and Veronica stage already !! Hell, even Chickweed’s Edda finally grew up.^^I agree
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
there is one poster in particular that brags about how many comments he’s flagged those days…Yeah, I know…. it’s really annoying; the mod for this strip is overdoing it, I post art on a couple other strips, but, this is the ONLY one i’m getting deleted on! If this wasn’t my fave strip…. Well, I’m thinking of getting a web page and posting the art there; only giving the link to those I trust… unfortunately, there’s no real social things like PMs on this site
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
oops I meant love your av

It will never be made explicit whether they’ve had sex because no one wants to disappoint any of the fans’ expectations. It will stay between the lines so we can all keep reading the story we prefer.
jkbowman over 11 years ago
She also has the radio on.
AmyGrantfan51774 over 11 years ago
that’s Toni????…..looks like Luann
AmyGrantfan51774 over 11 years ago
oops it is Toni oops my bad forgive me y’all the blond hair threw me
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
At least I’m not a troll as YOU are, you don’t even have the guts to use your name, or have a real avatar; no doubt you’re one of the creeps flagging my posts, go flock yourself Dude… ps, my drawings ARE a comment on the strip, where does it say it has to be a VERBAL comment, jackass? ps. I’m a boomer, not even close to the Me gen!
