    You can bet people will call him a creep for looking through the window. It’s not the Crusades, it’s normal for him to look, and he treated all guests with respect at sign-in. I find it more odd that these guests are so plain-looking as opposed to fashion-forward and not dressed for the occasion.

    Greg, you’ve become too predictable. Many of us in here guessed a lingerie party. Nothing nefarious, scandalous or illegal. Of an Ann caliber. Lingerie Party is too lame for Ann. Give us something else.

    Hey Les! Don’t look Now, but that “Lady” (Rhonda Nabors?) is giving You the EYE, in Panel One! Quick! Show “Her” that “Cherry Stem” trick, then give “Her” your Number!

    And Don’t forget to ask Her if She’s any relation to Jim Nabors. Not that YOU would know who the heck Jim Nabors Is……,

    Maybe Ann is really going to actually pass around lingerie catalogs, take orders, collect cash, checks, and credit card numbers … and then leave town and never deliver on the orders.

    However, I guess that wouldn’t explain why she refused to allow Pru to attend, since she would be just as willing to rip off Pru as anyone else.

    The three last to enter ladies look to be as young or younger than Les. I wonder if he noticed the total lack of wedding rings on the guest’s hands.

    This is a young crowd.

    Perhaps young, inexperienced, and ripe for being ripped off.

    Going out on a limb, here. Yesterday, Ringo made at least two comments involving Hillary Clinton, both of which I thought were inappropriate, at least in this comic strip. Editorial cartoons, like Prickly City, fair game. But here, where some of us come to get away from politics for three panels a day, I didn’t think it was appropriate.

    Lingerie sales. Some.

    But what is the most expensive item a senior high school girl will be buying. And also not be wearing the next day?

    Ann is going to be taking orders for prom dresses that may never be delivered.

    All of tonight’s activity will appear to be legitimate.

    Agree with the general sentiments. The ladies attending clearly seem to be normal people thinking they are attending a lingerie party. So, Eiffel’s rental arc is either really boring or really huge when she mass murders all of them or something. :)

    Can’t imagine any business turning over their building to a private party, with no owners or staff on hand to supervise. High liability. The DeGroots might be learning a very expensive lesson.

    Prom dress sales and Nabors is Hair’s last name. Rhonda visits Moony and shows off her pictured dress and material sample. Tiffany comments on the impossible fashion design and Gunther says for that price, it is impossible to use that fabric.

    We have arc merging and a long term outlook if we are talking Spring Prom and this is still the first week of classes.

    I’ll bet that she will try to get them all to sign up for a multi level marketing scheme of selling lingerie. Each person there will give Ann $5,000 in order to get a business kit from her, in order to start their own “business”, but it is all just a scam.

    Maybe lingerie parties are a legitimate way to earn lots of money. I missed that because I didn’t know anything about the subject and I was suspicious of Ann (for some reason). But Ann seems to treat others horribly rather than commit felony theft.

    WizardGoat, who said he’ll be watching to see if I display my political views here, and others who may care: Don’t worry. I keep my political views to the political cartoons. My posts to Prickly City should make my political views known. But I, personally, promise that those views will not appear here. Again, it’s just not appropriate.

    And now we’ll find out what’s really going on. If this wasn’t a family-friendly strip, I’d guess drugs or guns. Since it is family-friendly, it will have to be some lighter kind of contraband. Maybe counterfeit handbags?

    Utterly unsure of what will transpire. That is sort of exciting but also disconcerting as well. The lack of clarity at the moment creates a definite tension for the readers!!!

    What I hope for:

    1. Ann somehow in the end gets her comeuppance for what (I still presume is) her nefarious activity is.

    2. Somehow Les grows and becomes a nicer, better person through this.

    3. Pru does NOT get into serious trouble for her connections with booking this event (especially, I still think, in terms of unilaterally deciding on all the various perks and discounts she gave).

    4. Whatever nefarious activity occurs….. I hope none of the other regulars becomes embroiled in it, except potentially Al Gray… it would be interesting to have him involved…. and it would be interesting to see if Greg has him become more “good” or move to the more “sinister” side…. as we have had speculation over the years of both possibilities.

    One easy way this could be a scheme: Ann gives the impression that this is sponsored by the venue, who will be getting the money and ordering the merchandise. Collects money up front, and leaves them holding the bag.

    Poor Leslie doesn’t get to peep through the door window, ’cause Little Annie Momster is taping a blocking sheet of paper or cardboard over it. He and possibly we will never know first-hand what is going on with all those young ladies inside (half-a-dozen Shadow People plus three fully-drawn figures ending with Rhonda Nabors [search engine inconclusive whether this is a real person know by Greg or Karen] in panel 1).

    But wait! Maybe Leslie won’t abide by that treatment….

    Reminds me of a Cheers episode where a group of librarians had a meeting in the party room in the back of the bar. The gang all thought – well, this should be innocent enough. It was – until the ladies started ordering rounds of drinks. One lady’s beverage of preference was Boilermakers (‘Jack’ and ‘Bud’).

    Next thing you know – I think Frasier first, then Sam, are pulled back there as the drinks flow – they start dancing as ‘entertainment’ for the gals! They even made some decent cash on the side. :)

    Lingerie party, Tupperware party, Amway party, what’s the difference? Lingerie is a little more loaded subject in our sometimes repressed society. I’d be surprised and happy if she was doing a legitimate gig! …. Like the moment in the horror movie where the guy pulls his hand out of the garbage disposal – unscathed! Psyche! Made ya blink!

    Ok. The front of the Fuse has a door with two Windows on each side that one can see out off. Those and the front door have been curtailed/blocked. The low see out of rear windows and rear door have been curtailed/blocked.

    There is a wall with four large windows too high to see out of, but standing on a garbage can, Les could hold up his smartphone.

    Facing the front of the Fuse, on the left side we have a wall with low windows and second story Windows. Have the high Windows been curtailed off?

    There are windows on the roof.
