   I never could take naps. Even in kindergarten, I’d literally just lay there on my mat staring at the ceiling. I was a born insomniac; my mom often tells me I’d always start kicking around in the womb during the evening after being quiet and dormant all day.

   Bernice has had some interesting moments just in the past couple of years, such as suggesting she may not be as much of a prude as she comes across as being, and some of the internal conflict it’s brought about. But like you say, much of that gets tossed aside in favor of depicting her as the insufferable, holier-than-thou prude, much like little bit of development Luann gets is dumped in favor in going back to the eternal tween.

   But then they either won’t hire anybody, or if they do, they want potential employees to already have X-amount of years of experience that they’ll never even gain if they can’t get a job to gain the experience these companies want. Catch-22.

   And therein lies part of the problem: yes, the Sundays are usually gag-oriented, while dailies are more story and character driven. Yes, there also are chance of character development, however, they’re being wasted on the wrong characters; minor secondary characters are getting some development (Tiff), some are yo-yo’ing in their development (Bets), and some just aren’t developing at all (Stef), but all of this development could be going to the actual main characters of the comic rather than utilizing them as nothing more than occasional glorified distractions from all this non-stop dorm drama that continually dominates the comic like a leather-clad cougar in the bedroom. Seeds have been planted for interesting things to happen to Luann to expand her horizons and broaden her scope (the creative writing thing for example), or even for Bernice to take chances in her social life, but none of these ever go anywhere when they really could and really should.

   Maybe so, but at least the Sunday funnies are far more likely to actually depict the DeGroots (and/or Bernice) compared to the dailies.

   “And please no more drama”? How clever of Tiff to offer in-universe commentary on how old, tired, and trite all this dorm drama has gotten over the last 2-3 years. Seriously, I think at this point, I’m just going to read LUANN on Sundays only from now on; I’m so done with weekly story arcs focusing on these insufferable Moony roomies.

    If a talent is properly nurtured and honed, it certainly can flourish and improve, I will agree with that, but I also contend that it’s one of those things that people either have it, or they don’t.
