Gunther: "Knute, you don't have any trouble talking to Crystal, do you?" Knute: "Nope. It's easy. She ignores me. Why?" Gunther: "Well, I'm trying to ask Rosa aragones out, but..." Knute: "You get all stammery and stupid and talk like a moron" Knute: "Girls have a superpower that sucks a guy's brains out"

Oh, so that’s Gunther’s problem!
wiselad over 13 years ago
as I said, he is not worried about the “answer”; he is worried about “how he says it” thus it comes out in a moronic way

If it’s anything like your recurring power to transform the emblems on your shirt mid conversation, women could use this to take over the world. ;)

Look to Knute, Gunther, he has no brains.

Blame it on Rosa? I think not, Knute! Girls may have that superpower, but I don’t think Gunther ever gave her a chance to use it! It’s his mindless fear that he must overcome.

the only thing I fear is fir itself :P unlike Gunther I don’t fear gaining a feere ;)

Wow. We women have this much power? I ought to learn to tip into the power….too bad I am way past teenagehood. Men my age knows all the feminine powers already. Too bad I didn’t know about the power I had when I was teenager. Darn.

You still have that power, CJBz. The magic incantation is: “Does this dress make me look fat?”
wiselad over 13 years ago
fat is acronym for Fabulous And Thin?

One of the truest strips Greg has penned.

I hope I wasn’t right on with my Cyrano comment, Using Knute could be a major pitfall to the whole idea. While he and Gunther are good friends, Rosa knows Gunther and he is nothing like Knute,

We guys have got this “goofy” gland that excretes dumb as a defense mechanism against goofy girls.

Knute, has NO problem asking Crystal out? Ha! I seem remember a yammering, stammering Knute bumbling his way thru asking her for a date a couple of times. Gunther could ask Brad, but HE started out pretty much the SAME way and had to endure frequent beatings and darn near got killed before he “won the girl”.Gunth could ask Frank DeGroot but Frank apparently had to WAIT until Nancy got through with with about 15 or 16 boyfriends BEFORE she got around to HIM.Gunther, muh lad, I THINK You are on Your OWN,

Guys have two brains, but only enough blood to operate one at a time.

It is a lovely thing to hear a man pay his wife such a nice compliment. I hope you let her know it too.

Adams dubbed the phenomenon “AWD” or “Attractive Woman Disorder” in Dilbert. And believe me, I was a long time sufferer.

Crystal just ignores Knute when he talks – that is pretty funny because that’s what happens to me! Unlike Knute though, it hurts my feelings.

Wow! It looks like something here changed. I can finally view the comics from behind the office firewall.

This explains my teen years.
trspence over 13 years ago
Gosh! That totally explains it! Of course, that’s not the ONLY superpower girls have!
tegm over 13 years ago
Once again I don’t understand why Gunther has to do the asking out. Isn’t Rosa interested in him too? If she’s confident enough to stand on a stage at a beauty contest you’d think she’d be confident enough to call him up and ask him out if she likes him. Also, it’s not only guys who get tongue-tied around the opposite sex, girls always hide behind their own anxiety about liking a guy by making him ask them out, that’s bs.

One of the truest comic strips, ever, anywhere. My hat’s off, and my brains are a bit wiser.

Knute is quite astute.
