    It appears Emo seems to be disappointed. He’s looking straight at Bernice and meekly saying “Bye”. Kind of like he was hoping those weak sparks they had between them might burst into a flame.

    Is Nil even the working-out type? Jack certainly looks like it.

    Looks like the 2 males blew off the 2 females.

    And bowling? Really?

    From the prospect of free dinner to rock climbing to bowling to now, probably, zippo. Nice going, Bern.

    Looks like the old misdirection play to me, not on the part of the characters, although there were a lot of changes and implications, none of which happened in the end, but more on the part of Greg Evans. This arc seems to be not as significant as I might have thought, but does not seem to be as insignificant as it seems. Luann and Bernice were willing to consider hanging out with Jack and Nil/Emo, on their own terms, not Jack’s (Emo seemed willing to go along with whatever Jack stated) which is a good thing, but the whole point of this arc escapes me, other than to be a good interplay between Luann and Bernice, and a step back from the wedding run-up. Oh and we get a cameo of the Fuse, Pru, and TJ. Luannfar1212 out.

    By the way, I’ve engaged in a few recreational activities which could be described as “Not My Thing” in order to hang out with someone I might have an interest in, from time to time.

    I think many people have.

    I like Luann’s response, but there does seem to be an increasing rift between the two.

    .

    The young men responded in a polite and secure way.

    .

    I did notice that despite it all Nil is focused on Bernice.

    Jack had an exit strategy! No guy with any pride could say yes with the invitation framed that way. Luann & Berneice should sort it out on how to act like big girls. I really didn’t like Jack however.

    That’s a good way to find out if guys are truly interested in you. If they really wanted to be with the girls, they would have said yes to ANYTHING. Glad this arc is ending. And again, I must say, bring back Aaron Hill…and have him be super interested in LuAnn, but this time, she feels nothing for him. Cool arc, right?

    After a great deal of psycho babble analysis led by the 20% solution, once again much ado about nothing. You have hit on something – there are no interesting male characters in this strip. Most of them fade in and out and don’t contribute very much.

    The next logical step would be for Tiffany (who most guys might find intimidating) to embrace Gunther (who most girls might ignore).

    This might also be a mini-metaphor for this past week’s election. The queens got dumped by a couple of deplorables.

    I’m surprised the girls didnt notice how long it took them to debate, analyze and decide and then the guys took the new options and decidedly instantly. I remember learning that as a young girl, not EVERYTHING has to be analyzed or has an ulterior motive, just go with the flow when fun is involved

    That Bernice would ‘allow’ the guys to go with them should be off-putting enough for them to decline. Sheesh! Luann looks disappointed, Nil does too. Jack will take it in stride and possibly ask Luann for a get-together again. Luann should let Bernice have it with both barrels.

    Airman, i am mentioning this because you might find it interesting. Yesterday was terribly busy around here (amd the day extended to about 3a) so i caught only part of his comments (a portion on the demographic split between pre-9/11 veterans and post-9/11 veterans), so will have to hear it myself to get the full message though inwas familiar w the result as a clump, and figured you might be interested in his full comments. He struck me as highly knowledgeable in what i saw.

    I think Jack figured Luann is not interested in dating him and decided to decline the bowling suggestion. After all, Luann was going to have Bernice tag along, making it a group thing, and not so much a date, so he lost interest. Luann, thank Bernice although you never had any intention of going without her. I think Jack will stop bugging you and possibly settle for a friendship instead which is what you want.

    I don’t think Jack is the right type for Luann. What I see is Jack settling for a friendship with Luann and start hanging out with her, and Quill sees them on campus, assumes he’s been replaced. Quill will be back, trying to get Luann away from Jack.

    1) “Meh” seems an odd thing for Jack to say. 2) I think Luann was ambivalent about going, so she let Bernice add too much structure. 3) Hard to see how this is going anywhere now unless Nil asks Luann for Bernice’s contact information.

    Honestly, Bernice and Luann are both pretty awful and unlikeable people. I’m not sure why anyone would want to date either of them.Most of the characters are pretty awful people, actually.Brad and Toni are OK, maybe a couple others, but I wouldn’t really want to be around most of them.
