Transcript:
Quill: "Knock- Knock?"
Bernice: "Hi, Quill! Come on in"
Quill: "Luann tells me you're connected, Bernice. Mind passing around these fliers for our show?"
Bernice: "Oh! Uh, sure!"
Tiffany: "What about me?"
Quill: "Oh, sorry, Tiff. Here."
Boy, âQuill!â thinks Tiff just wants a flier⊠he doesnât even realize that if it were up to her, possibly most of the âtracking downâ work of finding people could have already been done⊠and he doesnât realize that he has an addiction to matching printing colors with his shirts. And that âseafoamâ green is lighter than âDartmouthâ green⊠â And Bern doesnât know that âQuill!â thinks that sheâll be able to get a bunch of people, cos of what she told Lu at that party, that she was âthe coolest girl on campusâ! She also doesnât know that that blouse has a bunch of spots on it⊠â And Tiff doesnât know that Bern told Lu that she (not Tiff) was the âcoolestâ.. Boy, would she flip! And she also doesnât know that those are words on that flier⊠thatâs why sheâs squinting so hardâŠ..
âWhat You Donât KnowâŠââA Bad Connectionâ""A Case Of Mistaken Identity"âAn Event With No Paper ViewââPrinting ProblemsââPress The IssueââA Hot And Cold TrailââInfrequent FliersââThe Princess And The Popularity ContestâorâThe Pretense And The Pauperâ
Itâs really that mostly when he heard Luann mention âshe knows a lot of peopleâ, that âQuill!â only heard it as: âshe knows a lot of people..â and seemingly added in his own mind: "âŠ.that will want to come see my play and that means she can also help me do something that benefits me "âŠ
Luann is not attending any of her remedial classes at Pitts Community College , and Quill hasnât been attending ANY classes, it seems.I think our lovebirds will be united in academic suspension just before Quill âs student visa is revoked.
Kind of quiet around hereâŠIâve already read my other comics, so, Iâll round up IS Katie and weâll both go up to bedâŠme with a good book, her with her favorite blankets and toys in her kennel. âNite all! ;)-âââââââââââââââââââââââ-âReviewers are usually people who would have been poets, historians, biographers, &c. if they could; they have tried their talents at one or at the other, and have failed; therefore they turn critics.â(Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834)
Tiffany may have nothing to do with this production. She well might regard a play (apparently organized and staged all in the course of one week) that is performed in a warehouse, using sets designed by a freshman at a junior college with no training, to be too amateurish to be of interest.
Wow Quill, here Tiffany comes in perfectly friendly, to volunteer to help and doesnât make a pass at you and you get snarky. Youâre too full of yourself boy!
Oh Yeah, By ALL Means Let Bernie Pass Out Those Fliers to the âFolksâ SHEâS Mow âConnectedâ With, Pretty-Boy.
Youâre Gonna End Up with a BUNCH of Rowdy, NON-PAYING, Freeloading Party Monkeys Trashing the Joint, and one Star-Headed DRUNK Guy Sleeping It Off in the Orchestra Pit.
So theyâre so hard up that they need help covering costs, etc etc. Instead of appreciating any help they can get, Quill decides to act like a dick. Got it.
Is this a dorm or a flop house. No doors closed and anybody walks in. Actually but Bernice and Tiff are living the same lie. The friends are all of the mysterious Dez.
Ruh Roh! Quill, I think you better come up with quite a few more flyers for Tiff, or you might have some issues soon. Rememer, TIff is majoring in âDRAMA!â You dis her here, andâŠâŠ <shudders>
Bern looks a little distressed that Quill is leaning on her to help him out. More infringement on her time â what with studying, parties, doing favors for Dezâ friends, etc. But she realizes that Quill just made a faux pas giving Tiff just ONE flier. Sheâs wondering what kind of explosion will be forthcomingâŠ
And tomorrow we will all see steam flowing from Tiffanyâs ears as she informs both Quill and Bernice that she, Tiffany, is the person who is âconnectedâ (meaning âin touch with lots of peopleâ), since Bern just happened to be in the right place when a party happened and didnât set it up herself. -Of course, Tiffany herself is not yet âconnectedâ ,but thatâs okâŠ
Quill is playing the innocent dupe today. Luann was misled by Bernice, and Quill by Luann. So he believes Bernice is connected and well-placed to publicize the play. What he doesnât know, as he politely offers Tiffany a copy of the flier, is that neither Bernice nor Tiffany is really so connected as yet at Moony Uni; the unseen Dez is really the person with a ton of friends on campus!
Less than one week to get the play together and sets havenât been designed nor built, actor/stage manager is lounging (with a non-student) in the prop room of the theatre where the production ISNâT going to be staged, itâs single performance is scheduled on a big (Friday) party night in competition with whatever Tiffany has planned (party games and no booze).AND youâre only just now handing out publicity fliers.This is just a little Too Much âsuspension of beliefâ.If I want that, Iâll read ZITS (where I suspect Knute is hanging out.)
Please, no Toni and Brad storyline, especially if Shannon is in it. I had rather check in on Rosa and Gunther, and I donât even like that couple very much.
Only three days until the show! Will Luann get the production done? Will Ms. M pick the actors to star? Will Bern bring in an audience? Will Tiff host her party?*Lots of scary things to happen in 3 short days!
Q-boy , make nice with Tiff .If Evans doesnât find a way to meld Quill âs play with Tiffany âs party (a la âRocky Horror Picture Showâ), theyâre BOTH going to be a bust.
While that may have been the punchline, itâs unlikely Quill openly insulted Tiffany like that, especially if sheâs offering to help pass out flyers. My guess is he gave her one flyer because he assumed she was asking for one.
Iâm sure thatâs what Quill was thinkingâŠ. but I think she was definitely thinking that sheâd also be passing out the flyers. It gets her face time with the other students and the opportunity to bring them into her fold. Plus, she gets to spin the drama going on in her direction.
What I donât understand is why Tiffany would have to talk to Quill at all. Sheâs in the drama department; she should know about the play already, and knowing Tiffany sheâd be out promoting it already.
But now she has "official" marketing materials to offer as well, as part of her sales pitch. A pictureâs worth 1000 wordsâŠ. As for Quill, because of their history and her competitive history with Lu, Iâm thinking she sees Quill as a tool she can manipulate when either she wants something for herself, or she wants to mess with Lu for a bit.
It was the strip where the guys think about their post HS lives, and Quillâs was a pic of a marquee with his name in lights, and the show was titled: âQuill!â, just like thatâŠ.
In any case, Quill just dissed Tiffany by handing her a single flyer as if that were the sum total of her possible involvement in the event, especially when HER idea of helping out would have to do with personal appearances by " Miss Sheraton St. Louis " , or her character from The Eyes of Zeye .Even Bernice recognizes this faux pas on Quill âs part.
ââŠthe arc of trick-or-treating with Shannon. I imagine itâll be Sundayâs comic only.â Probably not as Halloween will have come and gone by then⊠;)
Tiffany, you need to stop flirting with Quill and pursue something worthwhile. Flirting with acquaintancesâ lovers are just going to stir some shit up.

âQuill! is there just in timeâŠâ ^Especially so they all can watch the special paper the fliers are printed on, change from white to greenâŠ.

Since Tiffany is a drama student, just like Quill, I suspect she already knows about this off-campus school play.

Bernice is feeding the ferret a cup of guinea pig food because you canât buy ferret food in California where ferrets are not allowed.
