    When I was a kid, there was a fast paced card game called “hell”. The adults didn’t want to use that word around the children, so they changed the name of the game to “pounce”. Now things have gone full circle.

    Hmmm, now this is causing me some inner conflict. As much as I think Gunther is a controlling, borderline-emotionally-abusive Nice Guy™ who seems to think he owns Tiffany, I also support anything that’ll knock that disgustingly smug smirk off of Les’s face and make him realize that his view of Tiffany as some object to be claimed is hardly better.

    There’s literally nobody to root for here. I just want a plane to crash into their little bachelor pad and wipe them both out.

    Gunther does have a point. All night long, Les has been talking about Tiff as if she was a conquest, a piece of meat, practically drooling with sexual innuendos. Even if Gunth wasn’t attracted to Tiff, as a friend, listening to that all night, would worry me and piss me off too.

    How close did Gunther hit to home, to escalate to that response? You’re a “sleazy dirtbag”? Or you just want to “pounce” Tiffany? Which one it is will hint at the future of the Dumbnamic Duo. And, most likely , their relationship with Tiffany.

    This whole story line ticks me off so much. And people coming for Tiff like SHE’S the problem tick me off even more. Listen, Tiff has never shown either of these guys that she’s interested in them romantically. She’s treated them like friends. She set up some time to hang out with friends, she even said as much to Gunth. It’s Gunth and Les’ own assumptions that made it something more and pit one against the other. Why? Because she’s a woman and wanted to have a male friend… who now thinks he’s entitled to her romantically. And despite Tiff not doing a thing more than being a friend, she’s being blamed for the ‘nice guy’ Gunth and the ‘bad boy’ Les going at each other, when really, she’s not to blame for their sense of entitlement.

    NOTE : look closely at the black balloon for the “SHUT UP” and you’ll see one little curly piece at the back bottom , not following the pattern of the other jagged spikes ( which indicate force of what’s being said) … that little curly piece is pointing down at Les.

    no, Tiffany or Mr Gray are NOT there. It was meant to indicate Les as saying it.

    Well it’s not surprising that the way these panels are drawn this scene would occur. I think that Les saying “SHUT UP” means that not only is it hurting to Les to be thought of that way, but he really does not mean to do with Tiffany what Gunther, with his judgmental and jealous self is implying. If Tiffany ever came on to Les sexually he would run the other way so fast because he is not really ready for that kind of relationship. Neither of them really are. One thing is pretty clear: this arc will continue next week.

    I’ve always said that this strip was a variation on the Archie series, and this installment underscores the point. Instead of Betty and Veronica maintaining their BFF relationship while competing for Archie, here we have Reggie and Archie (well, more like Reggie and Dilton, actually) as roommates, yet going at one another over Veronica. It’s all good……

    I know this will draw a lot of heat. Gunther needs to get his butt kicked. Someone should have had this talk with him long ago. You can not let you alligator mouth overload you humming bird butt. Gunther is reading and willing to hurl insults. A verbal assault often leads to a physical one. If you are going to run your mouth you must be ready to become violent. This is the way the world works. You yell insults and get in someone face and violence is a predictable outcome.

    My read is simple. Gunther is way out of line. Les may have been a creep in HS but many were, in one way or another but was Gunther really any better?

    Gunther is interfering with Tiffany’s decisions and “protecting” her from herself because he knows better but, in reality, Gunther doesn’t really know anything. He’s just assuming that he knows better than Tiffany who’s demonstrated that she’s quite capable on her own.

    Les is a blowhard. Not much more to say about him. That doesn’t mean that his intentions regarding Tiffany are negative. It’s possible that Les simply doesn’t know how to have positive interactions because they’ve been absent from his life and is forced to figure it out on his own. That’s a hard road.

    All of the above said, I can’t believe Im commenting like this on a comic strip.

    Even if Les does in fact want to get it on with Tiffany, that’s none of Gunther’s business. I don’t recall that she ever appointed him to be her guardian. That’s a role that Gunther has assumed for himself (more nearly out of hatred for Les than out of fondness for Tiffany).

    I think Les is a big talker where the gals are concerned. He was interested in Pru, but very far off the mark. They became friends. He remained friends with Tiffany despite her weight gain. He was so focused on liberating himself from his mother that he missed an opportunity with Tiffany. Remember when she bared a shoulder, but covered up when Les mentioned friendship. Perhaps, he doesn’t mind talking big about Tiffany, but doesn’t want Gunther saying it.

    Oh, Gunther, if you want to say what you want, then you better be prepared for any type of blow back. You stepped over the bounds with Tiffany and now are doing it again with Les.

    I remember a time when a fistfight would settle boundaries and could end with friendship or respect.
