I can’t say I’m shocked, but to me that’s a HUGE cop-out on the part of the authors. No, you don’t have to show teenagers in full-blown coitus, but you can discuss it in a veiled-enough way to make it clear that something has happened. A similar thing happened in For Better Or For Worse, where you have 30 year old virgins despite having had like 10 significant others.
So much for a melt-down. Brad had truly grown up, as has Toni.
Well, a lot can happen in eleven months. Right now Brad and Toni are locked in a closet (Compare SuLu’s song (“This is the only place/we can play Woopdeedoo”)) with Toni’s pesky niece outside; while they wait for the paramedics to free them, who knows what they’ll do in that closet?
And today they’re out of the closet.
That was quite a good fake-out. I LOLed at yesterday’s strip when it looked like Toni’s [del]illegitimate kid[/del], er, niece was taking the opportunity to rob Toni’s purse; turns out she was actually making herself useful for once.
And so it ends in an anticlimax. :rolleyes:
Well, that’s the story of Toni and Brad since the beginning…
And another anticlimax the next day! While the niece is watching Sleeping Beauty in the other room, Toni and Brad are entwined on the sofa, when the fireman Brad called finally arrives.
“J.T.! Your date’s here!”
It’s T. J. I refuse to comment on him; little has ever been said about his personal life.
The manager of the weenie place (a woman) kissed him; I’d call that sexual harassment. He had the goods on her.
Personally, I would have belted her!
