Aside from all the food they packed out to the park they hardly needed to buy chicken from the cluck wagon, but I noticed on late examination that Luann is eating it all wrong. A drumstick, such as she’s holding, is a large leg bone which comes with a thick joint at either end, So you don’t stick the top portion into your mouth because that all bone. You eat it from the side, like you would with an ear of corn. Has Greg never eating a drumstick before?
Great, Bernice had the pleasure of having her magic moment narrated by her BFF. The boy looks cute and kind, let’s see if this will be the first step to have a picnic with the rest of the basketball team or if they will only talk to him. I hope that it’s not only Bernice who gets attention, but also Luann can have the opportunity to make new friends and have a nice chat with them.
Is that a reference to John 3:14? Probably not.But, jsut in case.
“14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.””
Here is the rest…“16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.”
Hmm, so the guy is wearing a pi shirt and appears to be about Bern’s age. There is a good chance that he goes to Mooney and knows Gunther as he is probably an engineering major like the G-Man or is a math/physics major and takes physics, calculus and differential equation courses with Gunnie.
So, do we flash forward a bit in the comic (sometime this Fall) and see a double date with “Pi”, Bern, Bets and the G-Man while Bernice stays at home and looks after Shannon? That plot sounds like it would be Karen’s speed as she is always depicting Luann in a negative light……
“Do you like apples? So do I! Let’s…” ** Note: The Count “borrowed” that line and joke from a friend in college who used it on girls in bars. No kidding. You’d be surprised how many times it worked. Never. OK… you weren’t surprised. : ). Have an Ann❤️Eiffel Day ❤️
Juvenile. Two twelve year old, pre-high school, unattractive, weirdly dressed little girls waiting for someone to rescue them from this awful story line.
When I was a teen and a couple of boys wanted to get my attention while I obliviously read my book, one of them said “watch this” threw the basketball at me and then struck up a conversation. We dated a bit he wasn’t for me.
Bernice has a lot of nerve calling other people weird. When it comes to weird she’s the queen. Then again, how does that saying go? It takes one to know one…….:D
I am glad for Bernice! I can see why the fellow would have an attraction to Bernice. He seems to potentially be a bit “nerdy” with his 3.14 shirt and his glasses. I have to admit I would would/was attracted to “Bernice-esque” girls when I was his age and I (sheepishly) admit I am also a little bit “nerdy” (if you had not already surmised that long ago).
I can see why various fellows would be attracted to Luann too, of course, but at least at the moment, Bernice is getting the attention, and I am happy for her.
One thing though…. the 3.14 guy has a bit of a YOUNGER look to him. That is not too uncommon for “nerdy” fellows, so he COULD be college age like Bernice and Luann. But… what if he actually is younger, and is a high school kid? I am hoping not, but who knows.
Luann’s spending too much time analyzing the situation of the male connection and not realizing the male connector when it presents itself. Though we have to remember that she already has two or so guys who thing she’s great.
The silhouettes of the guys playing basketball were p-perfect as to attitudes and stance; were they (in effect) tracings from actual photographs? That kind of, um, anatomical accuracy would be hard to get, free-hand.
Pi guy! What a strange shirt to be wearing. And why could not it have been Luann that met cute? This picnic was all her idea! Why does Karen seem to dislike Luann so much?

Bernice, who didn’t even WANT to go the food truck and who’s dressed like she’s about to weed the flower bed, BEATS Luann’s time.
PLUS she snarked Luann to the guy to boot.
How Humiliating.
Luann?
Next time you go “guy hunting,” leave Bernice at home. ;-)
