    Is the Halloween party so boring that the guests need to be on their phones for entertainment?

    I hope Bets comes inside and doesn’t just drive away after seeing Stef’s pic.

    Bets has been in the social media game for a while. I doubt some negative comments will shock her.

    .

    I’m happy to see that it looks like G+K have been reading the comment section. So when are they going to drop Stef from the strip?? ;) lol

    How, what a sick burn for all the commenters here. Basement-dwelling Dweebs. G&K are being awfully judgemental about people they don’t even know. But then the people who have been following the Bets and Gun show all summer long (if not longer) DO know Bets and Gun. They have been with them everyday for several months. Just as the commenters here have been reading this strips for months (years!). We know the authors. we know the product. If the comments are critical it not from trolling but from long experience with this strip and these authors.

    Bets is still in the van or on her way in…or off in a cloud of dust. We won’t know until Saturday…notice Tiffany said she hoped Gunther and Luann wouldn’t read the comments but doesn’t mention Bets, probably because she’s hoping for some drama at her party. if the authors are the strip are targeting any actual commenters here, it’s probably the few who comment on their motives or feelings toward the characters without knowing the real people who create the strip.

    All the subtlety of a tank with the “Take that” to the people snarking on the strip (I guess the fun people had joking about the novella got to ‘em). Ah well. For what it’s worth, I know I can snark I do try to at least point out the good work the Evanses do. Like, for example, I like the facial expressions on Dez and Tiff in panel 3 and Tiffany’s hairstyle’s flattering.

    And the characters aren’t exactly “people we don’t even know,” considering most people are joking about the poor decisions the characters were written to do. It’s kind of part of the writing/feedback process.

    I can see someone asking Gunther if he has seen the new picture on Bets’ platform. Gunther would say: “No, what is it?”

    Then we go to a scene straight out of Ferris Beuller where Cameron just realized that the guys at the garage put about 150 or 200 miles on his Dad’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. We next hear a loud primal scream. Ferris said he feared Cameron blew out a microchip, I suspect we would see the same reaction from Gunther with Luann looking after the G-Man like Sloane (Mia Sara) did in the movie.

    Gunther is a lot like Cameron Frye, dude does need to loosen up, this might help him as Cameron was actually helped in the long run by Ferris and the Ferrari.

    We have two more days. Somehow I don’t think Bets is going to come in on Friday. Maybe she will on Saturday, and we will have a cliffhanger, or maybe we will see her drive east toward the rising sun. Or maybe she will head north on 101 into the darkness. I don’t think we will see anyone in costume on Monday because it will be 13 days after Halloween.

    This may be a meta statement. I do think that the comments here frequently used to get personally insulting about Greg and Karen, despite that they are trying their best to spread light and kindness in a largely dark world, and that there has been a lot of very undeserved hostility here towards Bets as well.

    What a contrast! Bets is out having an existential crisis. While Dez and Tiffany are annoyed, but don’t seem angry at Stef for posting photos with dubious texts (they know she’s dumb). Maybe Tiffany doesn’t think Bets can see it too? Will she think about it if Bets doesn’t make it to the party and then, will she try to repair the damage? I hope Tiffany says something to Stef about posting photos that can cause harm. I keep hoping that Bets will come in to talk to Gunther alone, without a livestream. Also, I’d love to see how Gunther and Luann would react seeing the comments.

    Seems Tiffany is being ironically hypocritical in the 3rd frame, but with the way social media has evolved with fans and friends and followers, we get to “know” these “basement-dwelling dweebs” (are GnK talking to us?) by how they comment. Yes, of course, Raggedy Ann means physically, face-to-face knowing somebody.

    Re the suggestion that today’s strip is GnK lambasting those of us who on Luann on platforms such as gocomics: GnK are professionals who know that criticism comes with the territory. Yes it’s possible that they’re gently nudging some of the commenters here – however – I suspect the biting commentary and characterization is aimed at the world of social media out there, particularly the constant scrutiny and anonymous, often intentionally cruel, criticism young people can be subjected to on social media.

    Although Stef deliberately took the picture so she could post it on Bets website, Tiffany doesn’t have any room to be acting so high and mighty! She orchestrated the whole thing by suggesting Gunther and Luann come to the party as a “couple”. I always wondered why they had her do that, since she and Bets have bee depicted as friends, but since these comic strip characters aren’t real people, it’s perfectly fine to point out all the inconsistent behavior they get up to.

    Hmm, I may have to rethink my assumption about Tiff’s motives. She may have been entirely well-meaning, just not thinking through how it might look. She and Bets (and most people her age, to be fair) have a lot of growing up to do still. But Stef went and seized the moment to create a bit of drama.

    A lot of people here are feeling directly insulted by G&K today. Take it for what it is, people. I initally saw it as nothing more than an attack on the usual low-hanging fruit (in this case, online commenters in general), but if it’s indeed a rebuke of me personally then I’ll decide if it’s warranted and adjust my behavior and manner appropriately. No need to get thin-skinned (after all, I’ve dished it out so I should be able to take it.) I’m not gonna look at G&K with the same disdain I have for Brooke McEldowney when he decides to lash out at anyone who dares to comment on his strip.

    I don’t understand why a lot of people are saying/hoping that as soon as Kip finds out what Stefi did, he’ll break up with her!

    Why should he?

    They’re acting like Kip has been portrayed as this incredible kind, sensitive, nice guy, who deeply cares about other people’s feelings. I’ve never seen that, so if it has been shown, please point it out to me.

    Kip has taken Stefi’s part in the past, even when she was clearly in the wrong. I think Kip knows exactly how Stefi behaves, and as long as she’s willing to put out, he’s willing to put up with it. Personally, I don’t look for a breakup between them anytime soon, nor do I care.

    Anyone who thinks that the posts here are uniquely critical of the writers should take a look at what has been going on for some time with ‘Crankshaft’, where the writer shut down another ‘toon (Funky Winkerbean) and migrated many of those characters to the ’Crankshaft’ ‘toon. Today’s comments on ‘Crankshaft’ are really mild, but go back a few weeks and you’ll see what I mean…
