    Lila I believe that Boyd is right about this.

    Lila should be on Jay Leno’s jaywalking. She is that stupid!

    Not stupid — deliberately uninformed …

    Yes, it’s a cartoon, but I think that everyone is getting too predictable. LiLa used to be more than just dumb.

    I like how he doesn’t even bat an eye and just keeps the conversation flowing pleasantly. How is he not Mr. Right?

    I wouldn’t say this strip is getting predictable, I can’t wait to see what happens with Annie in Spain (I’m taking for granted she will go, but even that isn’t certain)!

    she certainly does have a choice. She’s a little girl recovering from a serious illness. That comes first even in a cartoon IMO.

    Why on earth does she need to be tested? Especially at a specialized institute across the world? They live in a major city, I’m sure there is a university where she could be mentored, or get the opportunity to take classes.

    If she tests as a genius, there’s this huge pressure to do something big, and Lila would be pressured to not let her be a kid, or change her mind. It sets these expectations up, and normal levels of success becomes failure. For a kid with a hard life to start with, this is not good.

    I know it’s just a comic, but it’s a pet peeve that every smart character in anything has to out of university by 12 or running a lab at 16 or something. Annie has a better chance of success if she gets a challenge somewhere and is allowed to, and encouraged to, do things she’s not good at.

    (rant over – back to work)

    Perhaps Annie can someday remove the crayon from Lila’s brain.

    A book can be written about Annie.

    I’m sure there are qualified testers in the USA. Why go to a foreign country just on someone’s say so. I would definitely ask the teacher (or whoever that was) that there had to be other options right at home rather than in another country.
