    Once a month doesn’t sound too bad to me. Gunter and Leslie will be seeing each other every 30 days or so. (Will next time be at Al/Leslie’s home?)

    Nice to see them team up in the second panel. Now, Gunthie’s mom is going to give them a chance to team up every month!

    .

    Mrs. B might not be so oblivious to the situation if she opened her eyes a little more frequently. Then she might be able to see the joy in their faces.

    (Two spectators, on their way to Lakehurst to watch some dirigible, circa May 6, 1937:) “….the map says we’re getting closer to Manchester, New Jersey. And then, aftterwads, we’ll picnic, and, oh, won’t that be fun?”

    -

    (An agent and client, somewhere, in the Hollywood Hills:) “And the girl’s name that you’re going to meet with at the restaurant is named ‘Kardashian’, I think. They say she and her family have got a deal for a TV show in the works. Just think of the possibilities! And, if somewhere in the course of the evening, you and this girl hit it off, you might be able to skim yourself off a slice of that notoriety! All that celebrity status! Won’t that be fun?”

What are you doing eating that sandwich? Get back to work!!’ …Oh! Where were we? Aah, yes!….And just a short distance from a reformatory school and a prison, so it’s a safe community! And you’ll be the first ones to own this hot property, and have all the bragging rights! Won’t that be fun?

    -

    (Ma Berger and Mr. Gray, with an authoritative ‘finger point’ and a ‘stern and steel’ look of confidence:) “You’re….. going to eat dinner here, and you’re…. going…. to…. like…. it! (a sly smile cracks their exterior countenance:) Now…. Won’t that be fun?”

    Suck it up Gunther and act like an adult. Your mom has been alone for a long time. Stop thinking about yourself. Let her be happy. The moment you can’t be flexible enough to help your mom be happy and you can’t stand the way she lives her life is the exact moment you need to move on and give the space she needs to live her life.

    I admit, after seeing yesterday’s strip, I was almost scared to death that Gunth and Les were about to enter a “meeting of the minds” of some sort. That might still happen, but seems less likely with today’s strip. Thank goodness! I much prefer them better as enemies than “frienemies.”

    I don’t know where Greg is going with this plot line, but if Gunth and Les get any closer, I think I’m gonna lose my breakfast, lunch & dinner for quite some time…. :(

    From the Luann novel, first chapter:

    The one guy Luann wished didn’t notice: Gunther Berger. Gunther wasn’t a creep or anything, in fact he was a really sweet guy. Luann just couldn’t get past his geekiness. Gunther had the school’s highest I.Q. and lowest have-a-clue. He was Nerd Number One. He looked like a doofy cartoon character with his thick glasses, wiry hair and stupid grin. Luann had no interest in being a geek’s girlfriend and it bugged her that Gunther seemed to think they were equals.

    This seems to be leading to nuptials between Mr. Gray and Mrs. Berger. I guess this lead to Gunther and Les becoming cousins by marriage. :) Or better yet, maybe Gray adopted Les as his guardian along with his sister (Les’ mom). Then Gunther ad Less would be half brothers by marriage. :)

    Gunther and Les can’t stand each other, so the best solution is to tell Mrs. Berger and Mr. Gray that simple fact and also that they will not be participating in the monthly get together.

    I still feel that Mr. Gray could be the father that abandoned Mrs. Berger and baby Gunther years ago, and now he’s back to make amends. That would make Leslie his cousin, stretch it even more and Leslie could be his half brother.

    Time for Gunther to grow a pair, methinks. Sure, we all want Mrs. B to be happy, so Gunther should stand aside, move out, and let her have Mr. Gray if that’s what she wants. Wait…do I hear Rosa calling from Peru?

    Maybe Gunther & Tiffany can pool their money to rent an apartment. Gunther can get away from overbearing mama and Tiffany can get away from the dorm’s overbearing R.A. Bernice.Alternative, just have other plans. “No Mom, I can’t cancel out on study group to have dinner wit Mr. Grey and Les. Do you want me to flunk?”

    I guess most of us didn’t expect the arc to move in this direction. But it makes perfect sense now (hind sight is 20-20!!!) given Mrs. Berger’s apparent courtship with Mr. Gray. If the two of them want to move in together and if Les is living w/ Mr. Gray, then Les and Gunther will wind up under the same roof. Mrs. B and Mr. G are planning for that possible eventuality.

    I think these sets of panels are foundations to new directions these characters are taking, starting with the Bernice and Tiffany arc, with a seasoning of Piro, to make the future arcs tasty. Now the same is happening with Les and Gunther, with a spritz of Pru and a relationship between Gunther’s mom and Mr.Gray, although one can see that coming from a mile away. I know that Sunday is the usual break from the action (I get the print paper early, nah, nah, the nah, nah) so I expect a new foundational arc to start up Monday. I do say however I could be all wrong, but we will see.

    Gunther being so selfish and childish that he wants his mother to be lonely, bereft of any kind of romantic company, just so she can play mommy to him full time is what made me hate him as a character. How selfish and childish. Mothers are people, human beings with needs. Ugh.Most of the characters have some pretty awful, narcissistic, selfish personality traits though.
