but Frank took the long way thru Phoenix, AZ to get there. ^Frank must know what Luann knows, and what Nancy probably won’t admit to knowing…

I don’t think this is happening at Aunt Vicky’s, unless Mom went to the mall even though Luann was banned from it! Ha ha!

Greg has also said that he’s with everybody, and he feels the same as everybody… he’s stated that he doesn’t like seeing all the sex portrayed everywhere (on TV and the net) but that he will address issues of sex as he sees fit to do… but he’s also stated that he won’t alienate one group or another…so there is only our perceptions/perspectives/points of view, which he has stated that he will neither confirm, nor deny (it would be nice if the ‘Cartoonist Studio’ site was finally “remodeled” so people could see his blog on it)…

I’m not so sure a program beats a system. Doesn’t one have to run programs on a system? And, basically, Frank does not win against Nancy. That’s a given.
JayBluE about 11 years ago
Speaking of “Programs/Systems”, are there new “champions”?…

Aw GEEZ, Frank!
The Planet’s Gone to HECK in a Hand Basket and YOU are Worried about “Lotions”???

Any of you aware of TJ should know that no woman in her right mind would want to do anything along the lines of sex if they knew he was within a mile radius of her..Correct me if I’m wrong (and I KNOW you will) but aren’t you the guy who often suggests that Nancy has a thing for TJ and they’ve acted on it. Doesn’t sound like your comment above.
JayBluE about 11 years ago
Yes, that’s what I was wondering… was trying to “keep it on topic”, ha ha! I remembered that you mentioned it before, and remembered the added element of possibly going undefeated, too.. Seems even Refs “like to make some friends”, Lol!…

I’m really thinking there will be a strip for different folks each day, this week.. or "Quill’s first ‘complete’ meal and more of his ‘enjoyment of real cooking’!….

From yesterday— “Twice Luann and Quill were shown in bed together. If Luann and Quill, two teenagers, can be shown like that, why is it that Toni and Brad, two adults, cannot be shown like that?”
It’s because the strip is, ostensibly, about Luann and the drama of a teenager growing up, and an inherent part of that story is dealing with boyfriends and kissin’ and huggin’ and heavy breathin’. We can assume Frank and Nancy have relations, but I don’t recall a strip where it’s directly referred to. If there is, it’s a rarity. The point is that the sex lives of the adults in the strip is no more relevant to the theme of the strip than would be their use of the toilet. Some things can be taken for granted. Or you can choose to believe that they have not yet consummated their relationship if you want; it’s really neither here nor there.
I would have commented yesterday, but I don’t always have the luxury of being able to hang out online all day.

I thought the “system” in the DeGroot household is that Nancy proclaims something and Frank says “Yes, dear.” He loses less hair worrying, that way.

Maybe it’s medical subtlety, but is there a reason she’s dressed like a Star Fleet medical officer? (Original ‘Star Trek’ of course.)

Frank, don’t buy any more hair treatment “programs” from Placebo Industries.

Leviticus, I don’t get it! After posting that series between Frank and Nancy, you pretend to believe she would give up their strong, loving union for a sneaked tryst with Quill, for whom you have no respect??

You’re both beautiful just the way you are!… Enhancements are lies!… Love the truth you see in each other!… You’re NOT the frickin’ Kardashians! Luann? Help your parents! They’re lost in the cycle of ever diminishing looks competition…

Wow, what’s your archive source? I looked for those strips but the farthest back I could find was 2001. I’ll take your word for it.
Okay, so four days out of 28 years. The rest of my quote was " If there is, it’s a rarity." That would hardly mean they haven’t been having relations, just that it’s not usually directly referred to, and I’d assume the same would hold true for Brad and Toni.
