It’s at about this point that most Men realise that there is a price to pay, and is the deal worth it.Usually, the answer is yes.

hmmmm…. Is Gunther shy , or is he still stuck on Luann? (Is this where he dumps his cute little GF?)

I love the way Rosa gives a subtle hint. It’s OK, Gunther — she won’t bite!
Ottodesu almost 12 years ago
Gay men would certainly hold a woman’s hand without hesitation.It’s only men who actually find women attractive who are shy.I speak from experience. And I’m no longer shy.

Gunther may yet be the first of his friends to get lucky. Rosa seems hot to trot.

Gunther is reluctant to hold hands because his palms are all cold and clammy.

If you hate the strip, then don’t read it, I love it and I don’t go to read strips I hate just to put them down…(You hear that Garfield?<<Least funny popular strip on the Planet)
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Gunther could easily be me at that age (Although I had better taste in clothes) and I can assure you that you can be with one girl while your heart still belongs to another; I’m 51 and am still basically in love with the girl I liked since 4th gr (And totally blew it with in High School), she is and always will be my first and only “true” love; so, I wouldn’t count out the idea that Gunth is with Rosa cause she is his only choice atm, and that Lu would only need to show him some attention again to get the poor bugger hooked, once more.

Rosa is giving shy and introverted Gunther the help he needs; I just hope she is patient, because drawing him out of his shell could take a while….
Gerry Lee almost 12 years ago
I hope he’s stuttering ‘Hands’ because he’s shy, and not because he was thinking of holding something else:) This is a cute couple, but yeah, I’d like to see their relationship progress too:)
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
2 likely scenarios here:1- Gunther and Rosa begin getting much closer2- (And I think this is where this is going) Gunther hesitates to hold her hand, Rosa asks “Don’t you WANT to?” . Gunther says “I don’t like you that way…only as a friend” (I SO hate those words) and Rosa runs off crying
trspence almost 12 years ago
There’s the pitch, Gunth. Step up to bat, or get off the field.
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
As mentioned on Saturday…yay for Gunther! Rosa has the patience of a saint to put up with him, but she should be able to get him to man up sooner rather then later. A determined woman always can make that happen.

Don’t go all obsessive on her, Gunth! Grab that Hottie’s hand! What happens when she suggests a little smootchin?
Mordock999 almost 12 years ago
Rosa?
Look, here’s a brass ring.
Put it in Gunther’s NOSE to lead Him around.

His walk actually looks a little more manly in panel 1. @Mikeyj, like Spiderman, you will let your Gwen go when you find your Mary Jane.

No guts, no glory!
mrsullenbeauty almost 12 years ago
Overreact much? Do you always respond to “boring” comments this way? Or does it hit too close to home? Somehow I don’t think Gunther would be HALF as bothered by that particular mistaken perception as you seem to be.
yldonaldson almost 12 years ago
Come on, Gunther! You can do it!
jsellison almost 12 years ago
This is a family comic so I understand that Gunther isn’t going to be all over Rosa, but this if ridiculous. Have Gunther admit that he’s gay, tell a moving coming out story and be done with it.
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
He hates his own creation??? 0.o Weird
rugeirn almost 12 years ago
Gunther’s a bright boy. He’ll figure it out.

If he can’t do hands, what’s he going to do when she expects other body parts to connect?
Kirk Sinclair almost 12 years ago
that poor boy needs some serious training

Rosa’s going to have to just make the first move. Gunther would appreciate it!

Rosa has realized Gunth is too shy to speak his mind or do what he wishes to, so she’s guiding him. Wish I had somebody like that when I was that age.
Homeboy1865 almost 12 years ago
i think Gunther has Asperger’s Syndrome.
Sean David almost 12 years ago
Yeah, I hate to agree, but I am beginning to think that as well. There is shy, and then there is “not interested”, and Mr. Evans is teetering on the razor thin edge between the two, in today’s strip. Please make up your mind, one way or the other, Mr. Evans.

There is always a space in your heart for your “first love”. For the lucky ones it lasts a lifetime. Fo others, it is a bittersweet memory that lasts a lifetime.

Gunther’s hand is a very intimate and personal area (to himself)!
imbaldeagle almost 12 years ago
Gunther is still traumatized by Luann catching him naked. He’s probably always gonna remember that whenever he’s around a cute girl
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Ummmm I always treated her with great respect, I just couldnt tell her how I felt, so, in Gr 12, she gave up on waiting for me

Thought your comment about this strip winning a Reuben was hilarious-then I discovered it was actually true! Must have been the strip-most-unlike-real-life award

Atta girl Rosa! Grab that boy, and tell him that he shouldn’t be afraid of you.
Faith :) almost 9 years ago
Gunth… cmon. I know this may not be easy but you don’t even need to say anything. Just grab her hand. Rosa is so gentle. She won’t bite. You also look like an idiot
