Pretty sure a blind person could’ve seen this plot twist coming. I called it a week ago, for example.
And as I said before, Nil needs to grow a spine and dump this nutjob, because this is as good as things are gonna get with her. Maybe he should get a drink with Zane and Piro and swap horror stories.
They aren’t doing anything other than kissing, that’s NOT sex or even remotely dirty. Why did bernice sit straight up like she’s riding nil and why is she making her mouth look full?
Now that the real “danger” has arrived, Bernice stops dead in her tracks. If danger was really that close, she should have been ripping their clothes off.
How disappointing! Now what will Bernice do? Will she introduce Nil to the Degroots with a little embarrassment or run into her room and telling him to hide in the closet? Probably she’ll panic, so Nil will have to be the mature and rational person, as always, and decided what to do.
Are we now going to get one of these weird sitcom plots where Nil hides in the closet, Frank needs to get something from the closet, and hijinks ensue?
Just got some great advice. For those of you like me who are having trouble retrieving your notifications please be sure to Like a comment before you Reply. If you do both the person can retrieve the Notification. If you Reply only it will just sit there! Let’s give this a try and see if this helps.
This is my second more visceral comment/reaction: this is TOO FUNNY! I guffawed when I first saw it, and each time I look at it and I laugh out loud again. It’s priceless! Should make up for all those who keep looking for gag-a-day in this complex, episodic, cross-stories strip.
I love how Bernice has climbed aboard! ‘The Tigress pounces upon her prey!” LolNow I will never look upon her in the same way. Man eater! LolPretty much high school shenanigans! Love it! I do recall a very similar experience.I also remember the somewhat bewildered look on her parents faces as I was Introduced to them and then quickly made my escape. Bit awkward! Hahaha!
Just sit down, let Nil sit up and start a conversation, just as though you were sitting there ……. having a conversation with Nil. Seems kinda simple to me.
Of all of the old original Luann characters, Greg Evans really gave Bernice the shaft.
All of the other kids aged pretty nicely, even Tiffany. But poor Bernice went from an awkward kid who made pithy comments to an awkward, judgmental adult with a stick up her butt.
Either make Bernice relatable, or demote her to Sunday strips and pithy observations.
Well, can’t a couple of college friends get together to talk about current events? And in the living room?? I mean, their buttons are all buttoned, it appears, and it’s hard to imagine that anyone as “cool” as Nil would be so excited at this point that there would be visible stains anywhere. Anyway his habitual ankle length coat would be a help.
If I were the homeowner, I would be less than pleased to find that my rent-free boarder is now taking the liberty of bringing strange young men into my home when I’m away in order to score a quick hook-up. I think that kind of oversteps the trust line a bit. She could have at least shown the DeGroots the common courtesy of having the discussion about visitors beforehand. I don’t think their own daughter would do this, much less Bernice. This is really a stupid story. Destined to only get stupider and stupider I am sure. Yay.
Most persons entering their own house would not feel the need to shout “I’m home”. Maybe Nancy has gotten used to doing that as a heads up to kids who might be engaged in some clandestine activity that they don’t want their parents to see, and which Nancy would rather not have to see.
Bern’s face and position in the last panel are rather “suggestive”. I agree with previous comment: who in the world announces they are home, besides Ricky Ricardo? Is there an unfamiliar car in the DeGroot driveway that prompted this?
I wanted to see a more playful Bernice but I didn’t expect to see that face in panel 3. Nils should remember that expression, they way these 2 are going, he’ll see that expression again very soon. You know what I mean!!

I’d rather hear some more Gossip from the Moonie Roomies! lol
Well, it looks like Bernice got what she always wanted… getting caught in the act.
So why did she even invite Nil over, if the Degroots were going to be coming right back?

Wanna get out this and avoid possible embarrassment, Bernice?
Then scream:

Hey.
And if Nil has a problem with it, just call the performance “art.” ;-)
