The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and L.A. Rose for May 31, 2012

Yeah, Lila, I’m with you on this one … for the time being.

Keep in mind that this comic’s world is NOT the real world.

Lila has earned a reputation for being “easy”. Matthew apparently has not yet indicated that he’s interested in a physical relationship, or they’d be having one. Lila should find out why.

..Well..I would have tried…

P4 made me laugh. Lets not forget that is the purpose of a comic strip.

I know it’s a comic, but all the blatant stereotyping is getting tiresome. I’m not offended, but neither is it funny—which is what a comic is supposed to be.

Hi Davanden. If it isn’t funny, then I HAVE failed. The goal through all the subject matter is to make you smile. Granted, however, I may not be able to do it every day ;-)

I also, admittedly, love stereotypes. I think there is some truth to them, which is why they’re around to begin with, and the exaggeration of that truth make me laugh!

A guy can show physical attraction and interest without “jumping all over” a girl. If he makes absolutely no moves in that direction, he may be playing for the other team. It’s not a certainty, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Marrying a gay doctor would be ideal for Lila. They can (fill in the gap) together.

Does Davanden crack up to Rex Morgan every day? Or even Doonsbury? Not every comic will make you snort milk/coffee/diet coke/whatever out your nose every single day.

Run for the hills Lila!!!

It’s the age-old Catch 22! If a guy respects women and their privacy then he MUST be gay. But, if a guy advocates romance and sex then he’s a lecher.

Sigh. Nice guys just can’t win. Must be why I’m still single (and straight).

Not like stereotypes? But stereotypes are the stock characters of comedy, have been since the first comic writers began writing. Go back and read translations from Greek of Aristophanes’ satyr plays, for instance.

Colour!!!!!!!!!!!

HA!
