Transcript:
Delta: "Wanna talk boyfriends? Ok. Where's YOURS, Bernice?" Bernice: "Zane had to go to veterinary school. At least I dated. You've never even HAD a boyfriend" Delta: "I don't want a BOY-friend. I want a mature, serious, committed man to be my life partner in improving the world" Delta: "He just doesn't happen to go to our school" Bernice: "No. Plus, the pope isn't allowed to marry"

Fat Tony, no use telling this to us, we don’t run GCs

Is this a hint that Delta has another crush on an older man, again?

And Fred Rogers is dead. Looks like you’re out of options, dearie.

I can still remember that quote by Oscar Proud from “The Proud Family” on the Disney Channel: no dating until after you’re married. (Sounds like Delta’s case too.)

Ice queens like Delta often thaw fastest…and hardest…when they do fall.
MerriMagic over 11 years ago
Delta’s a bit like TJ…a bit of a mystery. Hm..now there would be a match ACK!
gkid over 11 years ago
Whohoo, whooa, Bernice, getting kinda ugly: and to Delta too.Delta has never hurt anyone. I don’t like this side ofBernice.
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Delta wasn’t ALWAYS so serious……

gkid over 11 years ago
Although we love all the characters,.Delta is the onlyone with sterling character and her head on straight.Delta has star possibilities. I can see her beinga congress woman some day.
Uh… this may be getting to Bernice. This is regrettable.
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
The fun side of Bernice….upload
Cofyjunky over 11 years ago
She’s looking for her future husband while she’s still in high school?! Oh for pity’s sake, Delta! Get off your judgmental, self-righteous, moral high-horse and date many potential partners! Even Michelle Obama hadn’t met Barack until they were working at the same law firm.

Lev – You know you’re really tempting Evans to put Delta & TJ together…

True friends stab you in the front, and not in the back.
Magnolia42 over 11 years ago
So glad that crisis has been solved!
DTJB over 11 years ago
Tsk tsk, such high expectations.
Also…OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Delta is feeling some Relationship Anxiety, I think, but is too proud to admit it to Bernice, with whom she is in a bit of a snit at the moment. Bernice is not showing herself as a trustworthy friend.
Richard Howland-Bolton Premium Member over 11 years ago
Not to mention the fact that the last Pope to do anything to improve the world was Gregory XIII!!:-)
PatrickASL over 11 years ago
I would have liked to see Zane again.

How did you upload pictures on here?

Sorry Delta, men with that description are:
a)Already takenb)Dullc)In fictional novels only
yeahbutt over 11 years ago
Yeah … improving the world …according to HER young & naive & liberal-mantra beliefs.
CasualObserver over 11 years ago
I’ve never been fond of her…but different strokes for different folks, or so it’s said.
PMark over 11 years ago
This came to mind:
He asked me for a date.I seriously objected!I knew the feeling was great,But I might not be respected!He asked to hold my hand,I seriously objected!I knew the feeling was grand,but I might not be respected!
He asked me for a kiss, A KISS!I seriously objected!I knew the feeling was bliss,but I might not be respected!
And now I’m old and gray,by men I am rejected.They call me an old maid,but HECK! I am respected!
reedkomicks Premium Member over 11 years ago
With that outfit, she looks ready to date a boyscout.
PMark over 11 years ago
Substitute “fear of imperfection” for “fear of disrespect”, and you’ve got Delta.
PMark over 11 years ago
In defense of Bernice, if your best friends can’t be brutally frank with you, who can?
ewalnut over 11 years ago
Delta was almost describing Gunther — except for the mature part. But how many guys in high school are as hung up on “improving the world” as Delta? It’s no surprise if she doesn’t get asked out.
PMark over 11 years ago
So what’s the rush? Neither one of my two daughters had steady boyfriends in High School. One didn’t even date at all during that time period. But they are both now happily married to wonderful husbands who treat them right and each has started raising a family.
It’s good that a friend can be brutally frank, but it works both ways.
Mordock999 over 11 years ago
Ohhhhhh, Brother. Here’s ANOTHER babe looking for “Mr. Perfect”!Well you’re too LATE, Girlie. “HE” is 8,000 miles away and Luann’s GOT ’em, sorta.
Delta you’ll just SETTLE for one of the local Slugs and BRUTALLY and RELENTLESSLY Mold them into Your Evil Will.
Ironhold over 11 years ago
Like I said a few days ago – what Delta needs is a “slacker genius” who has figured out how to balance the real world with his personal life.
Dconskjk over 11 years ago
Oh Bernice….umm…snap?
terek over 11 years ago
The character Delta should be renamed DELUSIONAL DELTA!!!
Bucinka over 11 years ago
Understandable Delta wouldn’t want to commit to anyone, especially when her life is so uncertain. One can live with Hodgkin’s disease for decades, like Mario Lemieux; or, I had a friend who died of it in six months flat. Who wants to get in a relationship when you think it won’t last? Cancer sucks.
Tim Pickard Premium Member over 11 years ago
I think Delta got hit by the real world when she went through the cancer diagnosis and just adjusted her priorities, but too far. She has to put that behind her hard as it is, and have some fun in this life so you don’t have regrets. I hope she soon finds a balance.
overtherainbow over 11 years ago
Zane cannot be in vet school at this time, because he only just got his GED when Bernice was 16. Think the kids are 17 yet? Zane has to be in college doing pre-vet, which takes 4 years. Now if he’s in vet school, he’s aged at least 4 years (I’d say more) and Bernice is stuck in the Pitts School time warp, where no one has graduated since Brad’s class way back in the mists of time.
tryoung71 over 11 years ago
Bernice needs a good bitch-slap
ILikeMeSomeComics over 11 years ago
I know how she feels. I’m 25 and never had a boyfriend. Not because I was never asked out, and not because I’m not straight, but because I just never found a man I was interested in. I don’t regret it, and I hope Greg doesn’t make waiting look like a bad thing.
ACTIVIST1234 over 11 years ago
Brdshtt, yes, Delta is looking down. Also, the miracle self-healing “Oh my dog” is gone, disappeared into her tight tummy. Those two things might be connected.*Good thing Delta’s salad is still left for Bern to enjoy!*And on a more serious note, I’m afraid Delta might be doing something I once did— set standards so high in order to avoid dealing with the issue at all.
ACTIVIST1234 over 11 years ago
Lev, thanks for answering the sample “Luann Pro” questions a couple days ago. I didn’t know Puddles’s father, so seeing a resemblance, I guess it was a retriever/collie blend I used to know by the name of Sir Leaks-a-Lot, known famliarly as Lakes. (He had a chronic UTI problem).*Hope you don’t mind if I use your answers in my next go at the test.

Also, any “mature, serious man” who is interested in a relationship with a 16 year old will be snatched up by Dateline.
twinsoniclab over 11 years ago
Teenage girl do NOT “need” male companions! Neither do adult women! Some of us might “like” having them, but we certainly do not “need” them! You must be a man. Men often think women can’t be successful, happy, content, and whole without them!
buccaneer8 over 11 years ago
I think delta is still too obsessed with Obama and the alleged ideals he represents for her. She needs to be less hauty and more realistic else she would never be content in her ivory tower.
kenwarnerfordictator over 11 years ago
When did Bernice get so sarcasic and jaded? Not to mention mean.

Benny XVI might be available now that he’s given up “poping.”
ooptheman over 11 years ago
ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I need to get refreshed.
What does “refresh list” do? I’ve singled clicked, nothing, double click still nothing. Why not just say, THE END?Step-Step over 11 years ago
What about Elwood?!?!
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 11 years ago
Hey, Lev: posted a reply to your thoughts on Mojito yesterday. It’s on yesterday’s board, natch.
Caldonia over 11 years ago
What a lot of sweeping generalizations about men and women are going on all up in here! Delta should simply flirt with a cute boy sometime.
Drew914 over 11 years ago
ahem popcollar I’m right here, Ms. Delta. lol
Hawthorne over 11 years ago
Looks to me like Delta /is/ seeing someone from another school, student, teacher, whatever ..
Goat1 over 11 years ago
I think Delta is hiding the fact that she is gay.

You’re replying to harkker’s comment:
The Catholic church already has married priests… The current pope mentioned last year that unmarried priests are a matter of will not faith.^^The married priests are former Anglicans who converted, and whom were already married
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Quill sucks, but, the female readers love him (No accounting for taste); I’ve known a ton of Quills, (supposedly) handsome, they act all nice, Mr perfect, but, because they can get any girl they want, they usually have at least 2 other girls on the side, somewhere, but know how to “say the right things” to fool the girls into thinking they are the only one.
kaystari Premium Member over 11 years ago
Well played, Greg, this Catholic approves!
BronyInk over 11 years ago
Pick me Delta!!! I’ve been looking for a girl like you!! Except, not a cartoon of course.
