Transcript:
Toni: "Thanks for coming with us"
Shannon: "We had fun, huh, Bwad?"
Brad: "We did"
Toni: "I may have to give you a special gift to unwrap"
Brad: "Ooo. Unwrapping is my favorite part"
Shannon: "Is this mushy talk?"
Hey Lev? Yes I DID get Your note from Day before yesterday and I – AM- APPALLED!Animal Dung IN COFFEE? Please!I’ll have that “acid” in MY COFFEE, Thank You!You Know, and I shouldn’t say this but, I once DROPPED Acid in My COFFEE.Didn’t Leeese Me Harmee SOdaaDawnn HAMHOCKS!!!
Different strokes for different folks. One woman’s ick is another’s hunk, and so on. Same for us gents. One man’s babe is another man’s…unkind lady.
Regardless, Brad will now be having a VERY Merry Christmas indeed.
(It would be ironic, though, if the gift he unwrapped was nothing more then a Christmas Card…with ‘I Do’ written on it. That’d make him even happier then getting laid again, I’d think.)
A:I’ve chosen not to agree with you about their intimacy level. As such, ‘again’ is appropriate for my point of view.B:The card is only better if there’s an acceptance of his many proposals on it somewhere. C:Kenhense is quite right:Toni would be downright CRUEL to talk like that to a guy who’s asked her to marry him several times unless she intended to follow through one way or the other.
As long as you understand you’re taking a minority position, you’re free to believe as you wish. It is not my job to change your mind. Only you can do that…or not, as you see fit.
Brad is proving yet again that he is up to the challenge of a dedicated relationship. How many guys would say “Thanks, but no thanks” if faced with the likes of Shannon, no matter how hot her aunt might be? I bet he knows by now that Shannon will figure prominently in Toni’s future-believe me, you do wind up “marrying the family” no matter what is said to the contrary—-I found that out myself!
So where is the seat belt for Shannon? Greg always takes great pains to put seat belts around Brad or Toni. Shannon is a bit old for a kiddie seat, isn’t she?
Today ends this particular arc. It may be that come Monday, Mr. Evans will continue with it as he does in many cases. It may also be that he will move to Ann and TJ or one of the other characters. If this particular story continues, I will be in a “wait and see” mode. They may indeed be having “mushy talk”. If the strip moves to a different storyline, Toni saying she may have a special gift to unwrap will not work. It is two people talking, and talk as the saying goes is cheap. Another way of saying it is action speaks louder than words.
Rarely does one say so little with so many words.
P.S. In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrast. Thank you.
I recall way back my girl friend using similar language. Her ‘special gift’ to unwrap took our relationship a good bit further (physically speaking). Brad will be happy I predict, whether Toni is talking (1) more physical or (2) accepting his proposal and being engaged.
1) We try SO hard to keep this strip clean, Mr. Evans!!! You are no help whatsoever!!!! ;/2) Notice how Shannon turns to Bwad for approval? He’s the one she really needs in her life.3) Last day I’ll be on-line until Dec. 26 so:*Merry Christmas to All, and to all a G’day, Mate!
Merecedes, actually we are blessed to have a number of teens who not only read the strip but who generously give us their insightful comments! *Young people see things old fogeys (fogies?) don’t. (Thank you, teen writers!)
As you get older, you realize pretty wrapping doesn’t make a great gift. .It’s what’s inside that counts and Brad has been with and for her since the beginning. even waiting for her. .Not many guys will do that.
Donny, you have the most amazing way to find the worst in any strip I know. There is no Double Entendre in the first panel. But since I am no better, I think Brad ought to wrap Toni up first.

UNWRAPPING is your favorite part?? Brad, Brad, Brad….
Mordock999 almost 12 years ago
No, No, No. Brad’s line in panel one should read: “We DID???”
scpandich almost 12 years ago
No, but I will be needing a cold shower.

I think Shannon has to be pushing six. Anyway – given the present context – Toni’s major flirtation would be abysmally cruel if she doesn’t mean it…

No romance?

You should be watching Kristin Stewart movies instead of reading “Luann”…

I thought you’d catch the analogy.

Shannon’s pretty sharp for a six-year-old girl. In fact, she’s almost a little too sharp!
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Here ya go Lev, cheer up
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
See how happy Shannon is? This proves she isn’t a bad little girl when she feels safe and protected (Something her Father obviously wasn’t providing)
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Also, kids are often sharper then adults think. Young isn’t stupid. And kids read adults better then adults think they can.

You’re replying to Leviticus’s comment:

Sisyphos almost 12 years ago
I think this is mushy talk. Just talk.
DaJellyBelly almost 12 years ago
I think the best way to describe Shannon is precocious.

Shannon lives with her father who obviously has a ‘mushy’ proclivity. .He may even bring girlfriends home at times, who knows?

It’s certainly suggestive talk.

See? She hears everything. They need to be careful what they say when she’s around.
