I think that’s the silliest expression I ever saw on Bern’s face.

Bernice’s expressions are changing as fast as a Ferrari!

This is usually the time where someone totally unexpected walks in, and both of the ladies will find what they are on the ‘verge’ of. I sure hope it isn’t Quill, Piro, Gunther or Les…

-By the way, related to your comment about green versus black avocadoes yesterday; the black ones are usually more fully ripened. Green (Florida) ones never get ‘more’ ripe. Sometimes you can eat a plant when ripe, but have a bad reaction to it before it ripens. I can eat red, orange and yellow Bell (sweet) peppers, but green ones cause all kinds of bad reactions…

Dear friend, Bernice, is mocking Luann again.

I do not see how Quill can make up with Luann. She kind of made that impossible. I think he wants to, but she’s proud, now, and unapproachable. After all, she went to NY. That makes one mature. It did for Hillary.This is, after all, only a dumb fairy tale. But it has had me grieving all day. Well, why not just dump Dagwood, and let the blondes have fun on their own?

—In which Greg and Karen subtly call out their critics….
But I don’t expect Luann or Bernice to change overnight.

At first, I totally thought Luann was endorsing Bernie Sanders in that third panel. :)
JayBluE over 8 years ago
It’s not unusual, to go looking for some change, while you’re there on the couch…
thomas93 over 8 years ago
Im supised in th first panel that bernice is surprised about luann being boy crazy in the past. Hasnt been subtle. If bernice is going to be a psychokogist she shoukd be more perceptive

“Feeling it, Bern!!”…… subtle

Meanwhile, over at Gunther’s Mom’s House, Pretty Boy has Just Finished telling the G-Man about the Recent Break-Up.
And while Q-Ball indicates He has a Very SMALL Regret, He IS Looking forward to His New Found FREEDOM, and Checking the String Bikini Clad Babes at Pitts Beach without being Relentlessly Nagged.
As Gunther, STARES at the tops of his Penny Loafers, a “thought-Bubble” forms over His Head with the words" “Now’s My CHANCE!”
The “Bubble” is Quickly POPPED, However, as a Giddy Tiffany Bursts Unannounced into the room, Seizes the G-Man by His Hair, and Lustily Drags Him Off to Her Cave….,

Feeling the Bern!!! Anyone get that un(intended) pun?
dmelt253 over 8 years ago
This would be a great time for them to start making out…

I actually like that trait in her. Used to have a friend in college like that — always with some smart__ comment, always with the witty “burn” — but also, I and my other buddies knew, it was always out of love (if I can use that word) and camaraderie. And it just made it that much sweeter when we could set him up for a little taste of his own medicine, haha! In a weird way, it made the bond between us friends stronger.

Bern, don’t echo— listen!*Should you also quit letting this relationship define yourself?
Alpha-Omega over 8 years ago
She’s feeling the Bern. Lol. I’ll stop talking political now.

kittysquared Premium Member over 8 years ago
Ugh. NYC is not that life-changing. So Luann dumped Quill because she is boy-crazy? Having a relationship IS mature. Luann was on her way. But noooooooooooo. She can’t be in a good relationship ever, it seems. Very disappointed.
ohwhatever over 8 years ago
Yep, they’re both gay.
ACTIVIST1234 over 8 years ago
Tomorrow: Bern actually DISAGREES with Luann and asserts her own thoughts.
yangeldf over 8 years ago

“I wonder what is over that verge they mean???”. The action and/or the reality.
Luanaphile over 8 years ago
I am moving to different arc by myself.Piro knocks on the door, and says, “Care to watch a movie with me?” Luann answers yes, and then awkwardly realizes that Piro holds a special fascination for Bernice… .

“…time to stop letting relationships define me and start defining myself…”
sounds like Greg must have been reading our comments. I look forward to this new definition of self.
Crash7 over 8 years ago
Luann, please let it be something interesting.
ACTIVIST1234 over 8 years ago
Oooo- again, I’m slow on the uptake. Bern is being intentionally snarky?
Argy.Bargy2 over 8 years ago
I think he passed away in 1997…

I have no clue where this arc is leading to. The girls sound not empowered but obnoxious.
Is there anywhere I can go to get away from Presidential politics? Go Trump!

To all who hazarded guesses to my question:Think someone who lived underneath a bridge in medieval times.
SukieCrandall Premium Member over 8 years ago
Tremulous treacle-taker troubling all.
Begins w T, ends w LL, and i could imagine a such an attention seeking coward who deprives others living under a bridge. Will it do?

A friend is not sarcastic toward someone who they care about. Sarcasm is a weapon used to tell someone that they are not as smart or wonderful as the sarcastic speaker is.

I see what you did there, Greg. Luann’s “feelin [the] Bern” Lol
