When this strip came out in 1996 I had a few predictions about Brad: 1) Diane would put a restraining order on him, 2) There would be a good chance he would end up in one of the 3 following scenarios, a) he ends making licence plates in San Quentin (because of TJ and/or Diane) b) he ends up sharing a cheap efficiency on the bus line with TJ after Frank and Nancy launched him due to numerous idiotic schemes planned by TJ, c) he ends up an adult still living in his bedroom while his peers all started real lives (like the stoner Eddie in the 1988 psa “Nothing happens with marijuana” where a 30 something slacker is getting baked with a friend until his mom banged on the door and asked him if he even looked for a job today and he has his bud open the window).
Looks like I really missed the mark on Brad though TJ is a third wheel roommate who might have committed arson on a food truck and Luann is the one stuck in neutral at home still competing with rivals for boys, albeit she is still only about 20 in 2024 as the Luannverse takes 7 to 8 years or so to cover one year of life in Pitt. Amazing 180 degree turnaround by Brad while Luann sputters in life either in neutral or reverse.
Brad you are a doofus aside from not understanding women. You’ll never understand women, but you’ll eventually outgrow being a doofus. Goodness knows I did.

It’s not that hard. Lesson 1 – Ask Diane what kind of activities/places she would enjoy before taking her on a date.

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus is about as close as it comes to understanding the opposite sex…give it a read

I still think having Brad & Toni having a chance meeting with Diane would be a great series

Because woman are individuals, not plausible stereotypes.
