Buy contacts, Bernice.

You must be able to see because “Impending Doom,” in the form of a “cute little tyke,” is rapidly approaching.

HIDE the fish, too. ;-)

In sixty plus years of wearing glasses I never dropped any in the toilet. And saying I don’t need glasses any more is such a 6 year old thing to say.

One more graphic demonstration of why it’s good to shut the lid, every time, before you flush. I recall my twin brother telling me that he pointed this out to the electrician when the guy chuckled that he’d just dropped his wallet in the toilet. I wondered silently why my brother hadn’t immediately fired him—I sure wouldn’t want that guy working on my house’s wiring.

Nosepads tend to help on that sort of thing.

Contacts Bernice

Bernice’s allways been blind to so many things as it is so what’s the difference?

Don’t need a bra either, Bernice, might as well flush that too.

Just autoclave your glasses, Bernice.

现在试试隐形眼镜吧，伯妮斯

This is no time for your hate.

Does this even happen? What are the hinges around your ears for, then?

I’m surprised she wasn’t too scared to flush, for fear of people hearing her.

You should be like me and invest in contact lenses

She needs to move out of the DeGroot house!

What about Laser Eye Surgery?

People used to complain about dropping their smartphones into the toilet. Once many of the flagship phones became water-resistant, the number of those complaints dropped significantly. I’m guessing that people started sticking their hands into unflushed toilets more frequently around the same point in time.

You no longer need glasses only if you undergo PRK.

Either get contacts or do Lasik. I had coke-bottle glasses as a kid. Got contacts as a teen and worse them until I was in my 40s and my eyes were too dry to wear them. Then I got Lasik which helped, but didn’t cure astigmatism. Now at 67, I’m back to glasses with progressive readers, built in sunglasses transition and very stylish. NOT COKE BOTTLES. I really like wearing them again. My vision is about 20-35. As a kid it was 20-750. Legally blind.

You know what I’ve decided I no longer need? People who randomly PROCLAIM stuff and expect you to care.

As if she had not enough flaws, Bernice is now also so picky that she won’t do what any person who had something like this happen does. Take the glasses, clean them and then clean the hands. It seems that the more time passes, the worse she gets. If a bird hit her on the head on the street she would have a panic attack. If that happened to Luann, they would probably laugh together.

I dropped my glasses into the toilet this week too. I think it’s time for cataract surgery.

I’m trying to decide who has the more pompous “declarative pose”: Bernice’s hands-on-hips or Amos Van Hoesen with his index finger in the air.

There does not seem to be a lid on the toilet.

Crazy, Bernice! Now you clogged the toilet and can’t see to unclog it!

Well, that pair of glasses.

If it were only that simple to have good eyesight again.

Hope that’s a Kohler toilet.

Lost mine in the lazy river…current took them away!

Bernice is now Mrs. Magoo.

Dropping one’s glasses in the toilet? When that happens, you can’t see schidt!

Ah! That explains the toilet scenes in both Baldo and Luann.

Ewwww

B’s next trick is to find the wall.

You choose the comics to express that? i suppose it’s the perfect place for a joke.

Don’t wimp out. Wipe and wash and wear.

What kind of moron flushes her glasses down the toilet!?

Oops! This was always my fear when I was wearing glasses! Having to fish them out of the toilet. Thankfully that never happened. Maybe Bernice will do like Gunther and get contact lenses? Or even LASIK surgery? That would certainly change up her look and it could make for an interesting arc.

I usually don’t comment before at least skimming other comments, but between the politics and the likely Bernice bashing, I will make an exception. I had to laugh because I was just like Bernice at that age. I knew I needed glasses all the time, but only wore them some of the time. I walked around squinting a lot.

Bernice is just flush with new ideas today.

So, Bernice threw her glasses in the toilet, rather than the trash can?

Let’s see how that works for you Bernice.

I’m starting to wonder whether some of the comments today (and it’s always Sundays when this happens) are AI generated or from paid (and probably Russian) troll farms. (The lack of nuance in some quarters suggests this.) I know the event yesterday comes into today’s timing, but this sort of thing has been going on for years, and almost always on Sundays. Why a strip about a 19 year old female college student from Southern California draws this kind of political attention I don’t really know, but it’s good to remember that there is a concerted online effort to affect the US election and it’s probably best to just be aware that you might be arguing with a bot or with someone who is being paid for clicks.

Bernice needs to pick a sex, and try to look like it.

Hope she didn’t drop them in the toilet, when she has to go get them.

Talking about being smart, but only in theory!

I had to take my glasses to where my eye doc is. When I woke up my glasses were on my nightstand and one of the ear thingy’s was on the floor!

That’s about the only thing I haven’t done to my glasses. Knock wood.

Ahhhhh Bernice just how much did those Glasses cost???

Look into contact lenses? … oh… was that punny?

“I’ve decided I no longer need THOSE glasses. I don’t even want to touch them anymore.”

She needs better fitting glasses.

Oops!

Hilarious
