Quill’s a Sixty Minute Man!
It’s the 21st century. Enough already. One can be a good person and still have a sex drive and act on it.
An hour? Witha a teenage boy? yeah, right. I think LuAnn is about to be sorely disappointed.
Rilchiam:
That’s why I put the word “good” in quotes. I wasn’t trying to make a statement of overall value judgment (no matter what my personal beliefs on the subject actually are), I’m talking about the “stock character.” The comic strip has certain roles. Tiffany is the “slut.” Luann is the “good girl.” (or “girl next door”, or “nice girl” or whatever you’d call the type) Quill or Aaron Hill is the “hunk.” Gunther and Elvis are the “nerds” (but with certain redeeming qualities). Crystal and Knute are the “weirdos.”
In this sort of setup, the Luann character doesn’t put out. She stays “good” and the audience roots for her over Tiffany.
She doesn’t have to think they’ll be at it an hour. She just thinks an hour is plenty of time to do it and not get [del]caught[/del] interrupted.
I don’t follow the strip but from looking at the current one it appears that his penis sings Waltzing Matilda. Which seems odd to me.
Not to me. Evans appears to live in fear that readers will forget that Quill is Australian…
Ain’t gonna happen. They haven’t even made out yet. Luann isn’t the type to go from “just friends” to “fuck-buddies” with no intermediate steps. I also doubt Quill came prepared, so no condoms either. They’ll get distracted before anything gets started, but will remember that they are both interested.
And his penis is very patriotic.
Loach:
Odd indeed, I was expecting it to sing “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Old Sport.”
10 o’clock, 11 o’clock, 12 o’clock. See? Three hours!
But, yeah, I vote for “parents coming home” too.
Re: last panel in Monday’s strip (July 2): am I the only one who, for a split second, thought those musical notes were supposed to be a puddle of jizz on her shirt? :o
and. as someone predicted upthread, no sex for Luann - the cell phone spoiled the mood. AND Quill is leaving to go back to Australia, which I believe some ALSO predicted upthread
And there’s a lesson for all you kids out there: Never answer the phone! There just isn’t any possible future in which taking time out for a phone call is going to improve that situation.
Yes, you are.
Boy…what the heck’s going on with Quill’s dad that he needed to get his son home immediately to help pack up to get out of the country? Did the CIA find his dead drop, or something?

[li]What the hell? You’re about to get laid. DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE![/li][li]If, for some stupid reason, you do answer the phone and the caller says you’re moving far away, DON’T TELL THE GIRL UNTIL AFTER THE DEED. (Okay, I guess that makes me an a$$hole.)[/li][li]Telling Dad you’ll be home immediately doesn’t mean you have to actually go home immediately. Do the deed, then split. (Okay, I really am an a$$hole.)[/li][/ol]
The teens (and older) kids in this strip act like kids from the '50s - I mean they act like kids from the '50s were supposed to act, not like they really behaved.
They reject Ozzie and Harriet reruns because they are too racy.
Is it your suspicion that Brad, Toni, Tiffany and TJ are saving themselves for marriage? Or Crystal, or Aaron Hill? I think even Bernice had something going with that guy in the wheelchair; part of the tension between her and Luann was that Luann expected to be in a serious relationship long before her homelier pal. No, I think Luann and Gunther may be the only actual virgins in this strip.
