   You know, there’s maybe one or two other places on the internet you can talk about elder abuse. Or stocks stuffing, delightfully kinky as that may be. I never can understand why people come to this strip to complain about the comical behavior that is inherent to a COMIC strip. If you want a story about modified behavior, isn’t Mary Worth still around? Sometimes I want to stuff a sock in her, which circles back to elder abuse.

   As to Iron Mike, 58 vs. 29. Do the math. Tyson is a has-been, Paul is a never-was who still has a young body and a decent enough punch. They both got richer and more famous, nobody got seriously hurt. And I did not pay one thin dime to see that farce. The highlights of which—if any—are already freely viewable. I presume. I’ve said enough. Now where did I put that sock?

   Well, depends on the guy. Kip isn’t the least bit desperate for sex. He does find Tiff attractive, but his main interest in her is that she’s seeing things in him besides his looks. And seriously, it’s too soon after the split with Stef, whether that sticks or not. If he was going to be with Tiff, it wouldn’t be right after a breakup. But she has formally declared her interest, and he’s made it clear he appreciates the way she appreciates him. And honestly, on this strip, relationships take whole geologic ages to mature. ;)

   He just broke up with her. It’s not reasonable for Tiffany to think he’s going right to her, and rebound relationships almost never work out. But the good news is, Kip seems really ready to let go of Stef this time. It’s not just a tiff, which is good news for Tiff. But since we’re all so interested (admit it), it’s good business for the strip to leave us hanging a while longer.

   Oh please. Tiff would destroy her in a fight. Stef just know how to cheer. Herself.

   But yes, the point of this strip is, she’s making her move way too soon. And probably too subtly—if she has to go for it now, she should just come out and say “Are you still with Stef? Because I like you a lot, and I’d treat you a lot better.”

   Both girls are failing to understand what Kip wants is stability. A girl with a good head on her shoulders, which Tiff can be when she’s not reverting to her old ways, not so different from Stef’s. Basically, Stef is there to fill Tiff’s niche in the high school strips. She’s the college Tiff.

   See this here is what is called a ‘subplot’ and plots have these whaddyacall, twists to them, and ideally you don’t know what’s going to happen, so you keep reading, because if you knew, what would be the point?

   Kip has been angry and fed up with her before, and she’s always lured him back with sex. I’m sure she’s very flexible—in the literal sense of the word.

   I see two ways this can go.

   The break up is for reals this time, Kip and Tiff become a thing, eventually. (Kiffany? Tip is too simple for a couple name. )

   Stef finally has to confront her own narcissism, become a real girl at last, and someday Tiff gets invited to the wedding. Like in 20 years, our time.

   But either way, they’re gonna milk this for all its worth.

   I mean, if it doesn’t happen this time, I give up. Stef is treating Kip like her property, so obsessed with her cheerleading, she pays no attention to the fact he’s a good athlete. (Which as I recall, he has to be in order to afford college?)

   I don’t know if Tiff is consciously making a play here (seemed very impulsive), but boyfriend and girlfriend isn’t engaged, and its not breaking any rules to talk to a guy. She isn’t offering him her body, she’s just giving him a well-earned compliment relating to hard work. She and Stef are roomates, hardly friends. (I’ve seen no evidence Stef has friends, in any legitimate sense of the word).

   Stef has made their relationship entirely about sex. Relationships like that literally never last. Also, it’s just crazy Tiff has been single all this time. And the Stef gag is getting stale. Truly rotten characters are rare on this strip. I’ve yet to see a single redeeming trait. Other than the comic complications she brings. But is that any reason to take strip time away from female characters who aren’t misogynist stereotypes?

   Whether Nancy is hot because of her workplace temperature, or her inner temperature, due to change of life—I would argue the final panel is saying she’s still hot in the other sense as well.

   It’s visual wordplay.

   Stef has been treating Kip like a possession, not a person. That could be exciting in the early stages of an affair, particularly with a horny young guy, but Kip’s maturing—and Stef isn’t. I think probably this is the end of the affair. But what happens after that—given that Les may be talking to his cat about Tiff—maybe a triangular thing?

   Anyway, Kip would have to make it official he and Stef are splitsville.

   The scenes I described happened. I could have a detail or two wrong, after several years—the location of where Tiff gave those signals Les missed. But Les and Tiff was definitely floated as an option—no question at all. This being Luann, the option wasn’t exercised, probably won’t be this time. But Gunther and Tiff (also floated, a while earlier) are off the table. Piro and Tiff? Never remotely a thing.

   Now looks like they’re raising the question of Kip and Tiff, but seriously—Gunther is in a serious unquivocally physical relationship with Betts, probably heading towards marriage. Tiffany isn’t a boyfriend stealer anymore, even aspiring. Kip’s going to have to break up with Stef before she makes any move there. Hmm. Triangle could be interesting.

    Just a reminder—in our dimension, this was a few years ago, in the Luannverse—I have no idea. But Tiff definitely was very attracted to Les, who was charming her at dinner this one time, by showing off a weird skill where he can tie knots with his tongue. I think that was it. At one point, at her private dorm room (when she had one), she was giving him clear signals she wanted him to stay. Being Les, he didn’t pick up on said signals, and left.

    So since things have progressed to the point where we can now unequivocally know Gunther and Betts have a very fulfilling sex life—and total privacy to conduct it, since things have not progressed that much—why couldn’t Tiff have a relationship with—honestly, anyone. Is she actually still a virgin? I bet you anything Les is. All talk, no follow through. But the tongue thing was kind of cool. Anyway, Gunther isn’t. It’s always the ones you don’t suspect. Though obviously you’d expect it from Stefani. Whose orgasmic squeals are so frequently heard. Along with references to bodily fluids. Honestly, maybe things have progressed too far?
