Yeah…as Dear Abby and Benny Hill pointed out, when you “assume” something, you make an “ass” of “u” and “me.”
Just recently (within the last month) they were talking about how Brad wanted Shannon around but not during their “practice time.”
A couple of strips from way back strongly suggested it:
Okay, fair enough. Though if I were the attorney for the defense, I could argue that that’s evidence they were doing some kind of fooling around, not that they were necessarily going all the way.
I’ll agree, it’s not proof. But the overwhelming majority of single people like Brad and Toni have sex before marriage, and an even larger majority do so when engaged. The safe assumption is they are knockin’ boots unless there’s something that explicitly says otherwise.
If Greg Evans’ intended for them to be chaste, it would be pretty easy to throw in a line about saving themselves for marriage. It’s a little more difficult in a family comic to make sex explicit, so his only choice is to be subtle enough that readers horrified by sex can convince themselves that nothing is happening.
Ironclad innuendo! :rolleyes:
So Toni needs structure and hates chaos in her life, and somehow that means abandoning the highly-planned event that has been in the works for a long time and running off in a totally different direction impulsively?
Given the alternative? I’d prefer running off to the courthouse too!
I thought it was Felix Unger.
She is not necessarily abandoning all the wedding plans…they may just elope, get the pressure off and be married already, but keep the party aspect in place.
Called it in post 239.
There is also lots of sex in college - just not in LuAnn ville.
I took the comment about practicing to be about the kid coming to stay often after they were married. Evans is being coy, I think.
Bernice and the weird guy who hangs out in her dorm room will probably have sex before Luann does.
Bernice? Have sexual intercourse?
No way, ever. :dubious:
Not even if Zane, the guy she went absolutely gaga over in high school came back?
Oh no, the very next time she gets that mopey emo guy alone…
Someone will walk in before anything happens. 
So Toni and Brad are eloping. There will be a reception at The Fuse with all the friends and relatives. I don’t know how TJ fits into all of this, but he is doing some remodelling at the house - making a separate apartment? Luann seems doomed to be a child care worker/teacher/spinster with no man on the horizon (and please please please dear god bring someone NEW and interesting into her life. Aaron Hill is not coming back, he is in the distant past as Elvis is in the distant past. Gone. Not relevant. Quill is out of the picture. Gone, Not relevant. Des and Pru are not going to romance Luann. Gunther is not going to romance Luann. This incestuous little circle of friends and frenemies from high school is not going to give Luann a boyfriend.)…Anyway - congratulations, Toni and Brad! You are now married, what you have been so longing for apart from the ‘wedding’ - hope you find it’s all you dreamed of. For a couple of years, anyway.
did brads mom and toni make peace ? as the mom wasn’t impressed with her at all
Oh, never mind! Forget I said ANYTHING! Jerking us around, they are! :mad:
