    As I opined yesterday, Bernice’s comment related to her feeling that their meeting behavior is juvenile.

    It’s going to be interesting to hear what she thinks non-juvie snogging looks like.

    Nil continues with his crossed responses. Neither one is listening.

    Right, about now, Nil must be thinking:

    1) “What the heck have I got myself into??”

    Or

    2) “I saved myself for _this???”_

    Either that or the poor guy must really enjoy pain and suffering. :)

    Don’t push it, Bernice, or you will kill the budding intimacy. It is okay to be honest about disliking the clandestine meetings but demanding an agenda? What? This is not a meeting or a course. This is life which is something you sometimes can’t control because life does not do agendas.

    Hmmmm and what part of making out in a public setting is in any way “secretive?” especially given Luann caught you two. You know she’s gonna blab. Secretly making out would be in Bernice’s room or Nil’s room. These two are making out in public because it’s all they have considering who they respectively live with.

    Bernice wants to control everything in her life, even love and passion… This is much worse than I thought! Yes, having secret meetings is silly and is right to wants more stability. But, in comparison, Nil seems much more mature. He enjoys these secret meetings and he just waits to see how the situation will evolve without pressure, Bernice wants answers now. I really hope Nil can make become Bernice more reasonable and chill.

    So what is Bernice saying – she has to be engaged with a wedding date announced in order to continue seeing Nil? Because that is the natural progression of where “this will all end”. That is so stupid. I mean, a whole new level of really stupid. On the bright side, it gives Nil a chance to escape a long cartoon relationship with a character the writer has made into an psychotic lunatic. They have turned Bernice into a person that would make anyone very fearful. At first her psychosis was just kind of quirky weird, but now….who knows what she might do? Go ahead and propose Nil, maybe it will get you laid.

    How to handle her passion as an strategic plan; Nil seems fascinated by the level of passion suggested by Bern while at the same time being intrigued by it. She is right though—every time she is shown to get involved with someone she loses perspective in different ways, all because she gets too excited to act or think normally. She really likes him and wants to canoodle and more. So this hump day, what comes next?

    So far the meetings we have been privy to are in keeping with the cartoon characters of both Bernice and Nil. Apparently GnK want to explore how these two diametrically opposed personalities would interact then the love bug bites them.

    It is interesting that Bernice says “clandestine meetings,” plural. Bernice may be inferring that several of these clandestine make-out sessions have occurred and wants to know where the relationship is going from here. (A standard plot device.)

    After all, the Luann Quill relationship featured an interest in theater and song writing, relationship building activities beyond Snogging in the Park.

    Nil is being his obtuse self in response to Bern’s concrete personal reflection.

    Limits in a relationship, especially at the beginning phases, are fine. But what kind of “clear agenda” does she think they should set? What =could= they set? This isn’t a prearranged marriage, ffs. Well…when you get into a relationship, you either stay in it or you break up. She could choose one now and skip all the inbetweening.

    My hit upon reading today’s strip is that Greg doesn’t really know how to depict a relationship without some (in this case IMO contrived) conflict. I honestly don’t care about their argument. I’d rather see them enjoying each other’s company and doing something fun together (not just making out on a bench and then feeling guilty about it). What things do they have in common? What drew them together? Maybe we could find out more about Nil’s life and friends, and Bernice could expand her world away from Luann’s for a while.

    It’s scary, but I understand what she’s saying in the first two panels. If their feelings for each other are true, they should not be hiding it. Neither one is married or tied to someone else. She lost me in the last panel. Many kids learn what’s right and wrong, morally acceptable, limits, etc. from parents, grands, teachers ( especially in parochial schools). Sometimes the hormones and heart rules the mind and actions. This seems scary to Bernice. (?)

    Just how much of the Bern will Nil be feeling?

    It’s not often people see twenty year olds making out on a park bench, or anyone for that matter. We saw it in the seventies when it was all about free love and expressing yourselves gone overboard but not today.

    Oh, these secret, mindless meetings! So stop saying you are going to the library. Say you are going to see Nil, do some laundry at the laundromat together, then go to Walmart to buy some shampoo and mouthwash and whatever Nil needs, go have pizza, and then hang out at Nil’s place/room. Tomorrow go for that walk in the park and end up at the river. Get ice cream, and then hang out in Nil’s room. Next day stroll the streets in a nearby town. Stop for a burger. Hang out in Bernice’s room. Discover Luann eves dropping.

    There is something deeply wrong with that girl. She needs pro therapy to go along with her academic studies and she needs it yesterday!

    Maybe someone else caught it, but listen to what GnK have Nil saying, “This is you in control? Wow!” The next line would have to be, “I’d hate to see you out of control!”

    Bernice and Nil should double date with Gunther and Luann. Hilarity would ensue, especially if they shared a banana pie.

    Nil is truly interesting. The general population of “Luann” is amiably cartoonish, which is OK (it is, after all, a cartoon—though you might not think so, reading the comment thread). Nil is quirky and unusual and really rather sweet, unexpected in someone who is generally represented as moody and sullen and too “ironic” for polite company.

    I like Bernice, but I don’t even understand what she’s talking about here. Makes me wonder, are they doing anything else? Going for walks, art shows, movies, coffee, just talking? That might balance things out a bit. But knowing what’s “there?” Huh?

    She needs to get laid, well and often.

    the original question was why does Bern care if Luann knows what they are doing which has segued into Bern’s feelings about making out in secret which has moved into a much deeper issue of why Bern likes order, structure and a clear agenda (in her life) and it is that she fears being out of control. She must have had some experience of it to know that she has to rein everything in very tight and rigid to avoid the chaos she knows she is capable of.

    So, here’s the thing. I think this whole thing has only been “clandestine” on Bernice’s part. Not so sure about Nil. But I have a feeling she is just about to talk her way out of a relationship. And no, Bern is NOT in control. Never has been, really. She only pretends to be because she’s a solid hot mess inside.

    Sometimes I wonder what the artists have against mature, loving relationships. They must really hate romance, or people getting along.

    I like them together, and some of you are WAY TOO hard on Bernice. If you don’t understand her, you obviously haven’t been in her shoes. I have… and somewhat still am. Also I’ve been married for several years now, and my husband’s supportive of my neuroses (as some would view them).And to the guy who said she’d be dead with her cats… Eff off. Maybe do something better with your life than pay money to a comic website and judge a fictional character.

    I have seen too much of Bern: the Ben arc, the Tara arc, the Jack arc, and now the Nil arc. Enough. Bern is an uptight snark. Run, Nil!

    Oh, boo hoo. You’ve got limits already, princess. Your appeal to the opposite sex is limited. Nil is a gift you shouldn’t reject just because your artificial defensive agenda is not met to the letter. I’d feel sorry for you if you weren’t so gratingly unlikeable….

    She has too many mental self-restraints binding her to lose control.

    I’m surprised at how little I care about this, but not as surprised at seeing that there are 448 comments posted before I made this. Man, Luann really attracts attention.
