   I sense a dark outcome here. Child Protective Services can act like a mini-tyranny when it needs to…and it might, here.

   Cue the oldie from the Jags:I got your number, written on the back of my hand.

   It’s 304.

   Tuh-WIST!

   Only SOME, and not enough, or there wouldn’t be the growth of the “panic demographic,” which is my label for those who hear the ticking of a biological clock and have no prospects for the husband that they want.

   2010 US Census data: At age 20, single men outnumber single women 7-6. The ladies do not always take advantage of this. By 35, the ratio of single women to single men is 5-1, and at 50 it is 8-1.

   No, but giving donors soft drinks and a meal/beer voucher for afterwards brings in a nice bit of promo mixed with tax deduction for the DeGroot’s business. Lu’s onto something, if it is done correctly.

   While understanding Max’s complaint about the arc, I do realize the intent of it: Comedic setup for serious messaging. There is an informative aspect to also take note of here. A blood drive does not fall into any controversial description within the culture war, so it’s safe-ish humor; nothing with the scent of woke here. There is still a need for nuance and delicacy, when a serious subject is being addressed. Bern’s snark is good for a chuckle.

   Bern may steal Phil, in time. Several weeks ago, I remarked on how the Evans are pairing everyone up. It may be that Phil ends up stealing away another character we’ve come to know. It’s all leading towards a classic love-interest tug-of-war between Lu & Tiff over Gunther, from which Lu and Gun emerge as wed.

   One unaccounted-for variable: Tiff and Phil have not crossed paths. What if? Phil then becomes a new Aaron Hill for Lu and Tiff to compete over.

   I called it right away; Phil’s a foil. If a girl is tricky to talk to, most guys will simply move on. His dialogue in the final panel is the foreshadowing that Phil’s just a “phase” in Lu’s life.

    What good is a crown if nobody sees it on your head? Keeping ‘em in the kitchen, barefoot & pregnant would have that effect. If you take an honest look, you would see that it is advances in women’s health care that have been one of the main catalysts in the shift of the sexual marketplace. We don’t lose many women in childbirth/abortion situations, as in days of yore. That simple fact was the biggest changer of the numbers game; it made MEN the prize, thanks to the good ol’ law of supply & demand.

    It’s ALL in the numbers. A population majority would dictate that “the future is female,” but we all know that it’s just window-dressing, as long as the backbone of what actually makes society and its’ infrastructure work remains overwhelmingly male.
