“Next!” indeed! I was expecting Luann to be sitting with arms and legs crossed, the classic defensive posture. I wasn’t expecting Leslie to initiate the conversation. I wonder if Bernice put it into his head that Luann was thinking of dating him? I wouldn’t put it past her. Bernice is no friend,
Other commentors have alluded to this arc is about hook-ups; (agree), not so much about Bernice’s attempt to gain insight into people’s by-the-book psyche as Luann is imagining. But there is psychology involved. Mind games.
Interesting. With Nil and Jack, Luann was mocking Bernice’s project. But as soon as Les started insinuating Bernice wanted to do something weird, Luann started defending both the project and her BFF. Luann is really a good friend and Les is still an egocentric slimeball. Luann’s faith in Bernice is so touching that it makes you hope this isn’t that kind of project and Les isn’t totally right about Bernice’s intentions. However, it’s clear now that all participants know this is a project. But what Bernice is searching is still a mystery.
I’m thinking (at this point) that Luann’s responses to each person (so far) are mostly spontaneous, that what has gone on between her and Nil, Jack and Les, respectively, reflect (1) quirky fun, (2) true attraction and (3) dislike, and that these are her honest feelings about each.
Dollars to donuts, Les talks a big story about sex but I would bet he’s still a virgin. He’s never been shown with a girlfriend that I recall, let alone a one nighter.
What did you expect from someone who wholly embraces the bachelor lifestyle? Can’t blame Bernice on this one. Leslie was doing good for his past few appearances, but…well, yeah: they forgot this is how he’s like too.
Well, Les certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Evidently the study does involve M/F interaction of some sort. I thought the guys and Luann would make up an encounter group. There’s encountering going on here, but of a different type.
It doesn’t seem like Bernice told the guys anything about why they are meeting Luann. And Les does not even get a beverage for his time. At least Nil and Jack got something to drink.
What are you talking about Luann?? You don’t know what this psycho project is about. Why are pretending that you know? It could very well be all about sex and attraction. What an obnoxious bore you are.
Next week, this lame campaign to re-introduce Luann to the Luann comic strip continues. Luann will have coffee with all of the young female characters. Then Luann will have coffee with all of the adult characters.
I know this is a comic and intended to be for fun, I just wonder what sort of information Bernice could be getting since everyone she is observing knows they are being watched. Clearly with the first two, Luann was messing with Bernice.
I don’t think Les is being sleezy at all. He asked valid questions about why Bernice made him meet with Luann and what the psycho study was all about. He didn’t come on to her at all. Luann is the one who got all uppity indignant and jumped to conclusions (making an a$$ out of herself in the process). Les isn’t even fazed. He can spot a neurotic virgin a mile away.
It would be interesting if it turns out Les is gay and hasn’t quite figured it out yet. He never seems to score with any of the ladies. Maybe they know something he doesn’t!
Just occurred to me that Les and Luann are rather alike around the opposite sex. If they find them attractive they get performative. Les defaults to lecherous and Luann – well in the end I think she’s trying to seem intriguing.

Wait a minute.. How does Luann know what it’s about?? Bernice wouldn’t tell her. It could easily be about attraction.
Hope this school project is worth it. The guys are clearly getting the wrong idea.

It makes most sense to end it with Gunther, so I’m betting OX will be tomorrow.

I knew Lu Lu would be REPELLED by him, and Les didn’t disappoint.
