    A real friendship grows stronger after a confrontation like that. Sometimes people need to hear that their friends consider them better than they’ve been letting themselves be.

    Both FINALLY are having realizations! They were hard won, but sometimes painful lessons stick better.My hope if that Gunther’s “What have i done?” Means that he realized that he undervalued Tiffany and shoukd woo her.I am not sure that Bernice yet understands what she has done let alone what led to it.NG, left a couple for you late yesterday if you did not see them.

I see it as a wake up call to live up to her potential. Strong, but something a person does not do for people who do not matter in some way.I still think he has no right to be passing jdgement on a man he does not know, but that is another matter.

    There is no worse insult in Gunther’s universe than for a person to be considered ‘dumb’.

    I honestly hope he decides to forget about Bernice. But you’re probably right. He’s still stuck in neutral with his vision of his future, and he can’t imagine someone without academic direction as his partner in life…

    Hardly. Gunther said exactly what needed, what had, to be said. The air is now cleared. They now have a foundation on which to build a strong relationship. And that’s exactly where I see this heading.

    Boy people keep trying for the Gunther Tiffany romantic angle even though Gunther has made clear that is not what is happening. I doubt if they will be more than friends, but whether Bernice and Gunther have a relationship remains to be seen. Bernice keeps jumping to incorrect conclusions, having a combination of unrequited desire for a vacant suit, Piro, so based on those conclusions, as Gunther explained, she tried to manipulate Gunther to be with Tiffany whom she does not respect, and does not really know anymore. Her old conclusions about Tiffany are wrong; Tiffany is growing, she is not. Gunther finally told her, now he has second thoughts whether he should have (he should have) and Bernice is left to realize that her angling all this for Piro, who is not worth it, demeans her. The proximate act here has to be on Bernice’s part I think. She has to apologize to Gunther first. Open her eyes. Then if this is to go anywhere they both have to finally take the next step, seeing each other for real for the first time. This is all about Gunther and Bernice, Tiffany is important, Piro is a secondary character, but the issue, in my fervid mind at least, is between these two long time characters. I think a lot of that will happen this year, the year the characters are in that stage in college, and the wedding of Toni and Brad, whom I predict we will see again soon, but the romance between this two with all their issues in relationships is being tested here.

    This was a fantastic strip. It has lots of ambiguity as to what will follow.Gunther said what needed to be said out loud. Is he wondering how he said it out loud, that he realizes Tiffany’s value, or afraid that his relationship with Bernice is completely over?Is Bernice realizing she has been a jerk pining for Nowhere Man or that maybe she undervalued Gunther? For the record, Piro doesn’t know Bernice exists and is not around even when he says he will show up.Will Gunther go and talk to Tiffany? I hope so. I alos hopes he tells her that he finally realizes what a good friend she has been to him. Will Bernice now find Piro in the commons or watching Barbarella in her room? This is very promising.

    I am not sure that in the context Gunther calling Tiffany “Dumb” is the same that calling Bernice “Dumb”.

    In fact, I am pretty sure the author means Gunther talking about Bernice being dumb the both time, using Gunther mouth.

    On the other hand, it make perfect sense for Gunther to say that Tiffany is “dumb and doesn’t get it” when refering to Tiffany academical studies with another egg-head. I am not even sure, he consider it as an insult, just a qualification of her academic capacity and definitely not incompatible with here being smart in other fields and a nice and friendly person.

    I have several people in my acquaintence that I like very much and respect but would qualify as “dumb” when refering to their computer-litteracy or practical sense.

    But I am, deeply, a bad person…

    Gunther’s anger has been coming across as entitlement to me, as if his liking Bernice means she has to like him back or else. You can be disappointed that she likes someone else, not angry that she didn’t acquiesce to your plan for her. He may be trying to spin it that she is in the wrong for pushing him toward Tiffany, but I ’m not buying that that is the reason he is mad. Gunther is making me uncomfortable.

    My read on it is that Gunther didn’t call Bernice dumb, he said that what she just did was dumb. Smart people can do dumb things once in a while. For that matter, he was really challenging her ethics, more than her intelligence.

    Neither Tiffany nor Bernice should be on his list right now, anyway. He has too much accumulated baggage with the both of them. Tiffany, in particular, is much more valuable to him as a friend and advisor in an area where she does know a lot more than he does, and is willing to help him learn.

    I could see him with either of the two in the future, but not right now. He needs to find one of the several hundreds of women in the student body that he hasn’t met yet.

    Poor Bernice, on the other hand, is only now beginning to realize how little she understands. After years of mocking Luann’s misadventures, she may be starting to realize that her mockery doesn’t guarantee her any better ideas. We can hope she’ll at least figure out that her tactics suck!

    We still don’t know very much about Piro. Nor, I think, does Bernice, besides thinking that if he’s even potentially “sleeping with” Tiffany, he’d be quite a catch if Bernice could steal him away.

    I think we, as the audience, are being deliberately kept in the dark about whether he’s a student or not, how close he is in age to the others, if he might be gay, a veteran, or homeless, whatever. He could certainly teach Bernice a thing or two about keeping your mouth shut in order to learn.

    Actually, Gunther’s last (spoken) line to Bernice, “You’re better than Piro” is a bit too egocentric. He’s actually saying “You deserve someone better than Piro, that someone being ME”. This put-down of Piro ( consitent with his previous statements ) shows a far-to-quick to judgement attitude that has to be dealt with at some point.

    G and B are right for each other.But not yet.Bernice first needs to learn a lot more about life, people, and relationships. She lives in a world of imagined good and bad.Once she figures it out, she might be ready for a real relationship.Alas, that day might never come, and she might remain stuck.

    As an earlier commenter remarked, if they got married right now, they would end up in a beautiful divorce.Mostly because Bernice has no clue how wrong and aloof her expectations are.

    4Hmm. Not the best day for the progression of the story, IMO:1) While I think it is good that Gunther got some things off his chest, I am not overly happy with what he said.2) I am not sure if I would say that Bernice thinks Tiffany is a “horrible person”, nor would I say that Bernice “pushed” Gunther to go after Tiffany. IMO, I think Bernice is (lately) only mildly annoyed at Tiffany, and in some instances seems to find her ok. I also seem to feel that Bernice mainly was encouraging Gunther, not pushing him. Her motivations for pushing him…. not exactly sure, but since she had been pretty clueless about his interest in her until this point, I do not think she was trying to “get rid of him”.3) Saying Bernice is “dumb” is just as annoying when it is directed at her as it was when he said it about Tiffany, IMO. I think that is a horrible choice of words to express about anyone in the way Gunther is meaning.4) Saying that Bernice is “better than Piro” is a bit rude too, IMO, as Gunther knows next to nothing about Piro. It reads like a slam about Piro AND a slam at Bernice at the same time. …………………………………………………………………….Now, with all that said in the above, my biggest worry, however, is that in the last panel…. the shared “What have I done?” thoughts by both of them…. sadly suggest to me that the trajectory we may still be traveling on is that of the “arguing pair who suddenly find a romantic passion” sort of story. I can unfortunately now see how both of them could, perhaps even on Saturday’s panels, suddenly turn around and face each other, and then rush towards each other…. embrace… and perhaps even kiss. I certainly hope this is NOT what Greg has planned. But, we shall see.

    Bernice reminds me of my college-age self, in that I was a psychology major and thought I had everyone and everything figured out. Boy, was I wrong. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and neither does Bernice. However, Gunther’s tirade may begin to open her up to new ways of being and doing—although I think Gunther would be wise not to begin a romantic relationship with Bernice.

    Question: Does any other comic strip get this many comments?

    What if that’s not the real Gunther, and Evans secretly replaced him with a clone with guts? Ja, ja, LOL. Now seriously, Gunther definitively grew a pair. All I have to say is: GOOD JOB GUNTHER!!!!

    That’s awesome! I heard the same, that he was pretty humble and reserved outside the ring.

    I noticed that too. I like Crankshaft (the comic strip) enough to check out the comments, but 1) the comments are all negative, and 2) many of the comments seem to be based on insider knowledge that the commenters don’t bother to share. No fun, no balance.

    I am disturbed by Gunther’s remark that Bern in better than Piro. He doesn’t know anything about Piro. Rather Gunther is making a strategic remark with the hope that it will wean Bernice from her obsession.. sort of the flip side of Bern and her strategies (which have caved… so far).

    I also have a few high school classmates who found each other back then and are still happy. For most that is not the case, but it certainly can be.My father wound up marrying a high school classmate 45 years later! Both had lost their spouses and my stepmom’s mother remembered that she liked Dad in high school and mentioned that to my maternal grandmother. Those two got them together. They went out to play golf. Dad never learned golf until Mom was ill. She then bought him left hander clubs and made him learn because she figured it would be a way for him to meet women.Sometimes people who were students together get together as a couple well after high school, after learning and growing more.

    What have you done, Gunther? You’ve burned a bridge behind you, and rightly so. Resolve never to rebuild it, and move ahead. There are thousands of single women at Moony Uni, so maybe one of them is the girl of your dreams who will prepare a plate of cookies and milk every night for the rest of her life. Go find her.What have you done, Bernice? You’ve manipulated people in pursuit of a fantasy. In other words, you’ve made a fool of yourself. It happens, we’re all human. Remember that, the next time you’re in a mood to write someone up for a silly infraction of those ridiculous rules you carry around with you on your rounds.What have you done, Piro? I don’t know, and I don’t care. Just keep doing it, whatever it is, wherever you’re doing it now, since that’s out of our sight.

    Burning bridges….

    This is an opportunity for both Gunther and Bernice to get themselves on a New Path toward a satisfying life, rather than their wreckage up to now….

    I had just read .“What’ve they done? Ruined their friendship that’s what.”.and was thinking that even though they should be more civil to each other, the feelings were that each cared for each other at the very least as friends and they respected each other, so to tell one that she was better than the way she had been acting should not ruin a friendship just because they had finally said what they should have said weeks of strips ago..Nobody can really read minds and we men tend to be dense toward understanding hints women often think are so obvious that it would be an insult to explain them.Then they are mad at us for being male and needing explanations regarding different mental processes than those with which we are most familiar..I tried to sum it up in.“What a horrible insult, to tell a person she is a better person than her actions suggest.”.but the different mental processes were not as obvious as I had thought, which in a way kind of proves my point, when you think about it..I think I’ll give myself a pat on the back because nobody else gonna.
