    SO Les knows his mother is there. TJ has seen her. And…..did ANN see them? She probably knows Les works there. But TJ I think she would get into his face if she sees him. It doesn’t jibe that TJ has seen her and does nothing. I understand why Les is keeping his distance. Again, poor writing and sloppy story organization. GnK, come on, do better.

    Tiffany is right Ann will come back, although Tiffany calling anyone a liar is like a pot calling a kettle black. Of course she would know. All of Ann’s antagonists work at the Fuse, how convenient. As ZM pointed out above. they are STANDING RIGHT THERE. The difference? Cheetah mama. She is going to be poised at some point going forward. Post cub protection present cub revenge. Just wait for it.

She only has her almost fiancé who she, probably, just uses and don’t love. She’s alone. I can’t wait to see Ann and Nancy’s next epic fight!

    Kinda unfortunate that neither Tiffany nor Luann ever, after years have gone by, told Nancy that Ann sold counterfeit lingerie in the Fews. Ann ripped off a lot of people right under Nancy and Frank’s noses, and is a criminal. But hey, Nancy kicked her out for being a rude customer today. So Nancy obviously “won.” Facedesk.

    Tiff, unfortunately, is correct. Listen to her, Nancy, and remain on your guard, because Ann “Annie Awful” Eiffel tends to follow through on her threats. Does The Fuse (including Kafe Kablooie—and yes, despite my having been misled by the tiny typography yesterday, there is that “i” in there as I had thought there should but removed because I could not see it on the bag Oxford was holding) have a lawyer on retainer? If so contact him/her at once. If not, get one—a good one!

    DOOM! Except for Brad and Bernice, every person that has suffered grief from Awful Annie is depicted in Panel 1. That cannot be a mere happenstance! Greg is signaling something.

    We cannot believe Ann’s departing shot; even if we weren’t warned by Tiff’s comment in Panel2.

    It’s almost as if Greg is signaling all of these characters, maybe even The Fuse itself, will experience Ann’s machination’s.

    This strip has a sense of finality to it. It feels like the end of an arc; i.e., Nancy’s introduction to her new job. It would be too early to introduce Ann revenge at being bullied into leaving. So I predict a new, brief arc come Monday before returning to this milieu. Maybe Tiff’s grades? Maybe something else?

    I think Ann will come back, and this arc will continue on Monday, although not necessarily with Ann at first. I think Tiffany and Les will, in their own ways tell Nancy their history with this hyena female term for dog, as will the others. She won’t search out Ann but will be ready when that time comes. It will draw out, and is part, I am convinced of the larger story of the growth of the younger characters, and I, for one, is glad to see Nancy be more than a Sunday foible. Will Frank get into the action eventually? Yes and so will big Al. He won’t harm is baby sister, but he is quietly powerful, and I can see a storyline where he is happy his nephew is slowly healing, and is fitting into Luannverse, and will do what is necessary to protect that from Ann. Lets really get ready to Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmble.

    For those gentle readers so SURE the Nancy had Ann shaking in her Manolo Blahniks, need to take a good hard look at the first panel. Here you have four people that have one time or another, faced Ann in actual “combat.”

    Les and Old Smiley bested Ann thru blackmail. Ox thwarted Ann by refusing to help her sue Toni and her niece Shannon. Tiffany, for the briefest of periods had Ann on the ropes. But NOW, at a crucial time, ALL, with the exception of Ox stood on the sidelines and did nothing but watch.

    Yeah, Yeah, I know. “Nancy didn’t need their help.” But are you so sure? Each time that Ann has been vanquished, from the time Zane had her shipped off to Tokyo to Les blackmailed Her and himself out of debt, Ann has ALWAYS bounced back stronger than ever. There is never a sense of finality to Ann’s defeats. She keeps coming back. Anybody who thinks that Ann is going to leave the Fuse with her dinner and never return seeking revenge, believes in Unicorns.

    Nancy did a good job, no question. But she would have done a better job if she had some backup.

    One more thing. “Liar” Tiffany? “Who” LIED to her good friend at Study Ball two months ago? ;)

    Nancy has proven that she is a valuable addition to the staff. She can work side by side with others, filling in for whatever needs to be done. Yet when the need arises, she can use her position of authority to intervene. Pru was misled by Ann (renting the space for sale of counterfeit goods). But Nancy (even though she didn’t know Ann) saw right through and sensed immediately that this is not someone to have around.

    Okay, I remember Tiffany being the spoiled, little rich girl who did terrible things in high school. But, she did get her comeuppances for her actions, and even though she still has a lot to learn, she has somewhat become a better person.

    Ann Eiffel, on the other hand, has no intention of learning from her mistakes. She doesn’t even care that her son no longer speaks to her, but she will no doubt cry to anyone about how difficult it is to try and reconnect with him, if it will gain the right kind of sympathy.

    So, after this, Ann will probably cry to Tom about how mean everyone was to her (especially Tiffany). And, of course, Tom will not want to hear Tiffany’s side.

    Meanwhile, Tiffany has an opportunity to talk to Nancy about just how horrid Ann Eiffel really is. Nancy is the kind of person who will really listen to her… and help her find a real solution.
