He and Luann have been an “item” for something like three years now. Currently, they are both college sophomores, which would make them 19 or 20. And he has not balled her yet.
I would be MORE annoyed if I were Luann, I suppose.
And that ANNOYS you?
Wow, that’s about the worst artwork I’ve ever seen in the comics. He can’t keep the characters looking the same between two panels.
However this strip had my favorite panel ever - a computer monitor which was written, filling the screen
“Email from the Internet.” Yes it was a while ago - but not that long.
I felt the same way she did, though I thought of Borderline Personality Disorder instead, since that’s more my experience with people like this. The downside is if you get on their bad side.
I’m also not sure how she’s not annoying the hell out of Luann. I literally didn’t process the smile the first time I saw them meet–I just assumed that she would be exasperated.
I had originally posted this as “It seems easy to me!” in response to what Quinn said about how hard it was not to like her, but I guess that post got eaten.
(I actually kinda hope she’s just kinda depressed and overcompensating. That’s something you can get over. But I suspect she actually is going after Quinn, and that Luann is going to get jealous, only for Quinn to say he knows but doesn’t care since he likes Luann. Then maybe she’ll push it too far and he’ll have to not hang out with her. That line where he says “it’s hard not to” dislike her seems to be foreshadowing.
But I’m going by trope knowledge and not knowledge of this strip in general. This thread was the first time I started paying attention beyond the jokes in the Comics Curmudgeon.)
That’s why I initially decided I couldn’t do comics, as I can never draw two things the same. Heck, I have trouble with symmetry.
But I assume a lot of comics now use cut and paste, which means I could make one. But I no longer have any ideas–except for stuff like making comic adaptations. (I would love one of the original Roger Rabbit.)
He’s a douche. Running back to Australia, running off to NY, putting his relationship way down on his priority list. Serious commitment issues, I believe.
He’s 20-ish, he doesn’t need commitment.
He wants to get back to serious beer after a while.
Oh, great. Another stereotype. :rolleyes:
“Oh, Hi Quill!”
Have you noticed how many of the irritating characters in the comics speak (and move about) with their eyes closed?
A project I keep meaning to get around to but may never: a cut and paste three-panel Pearls Before Swine strip:
Panel #1- Goat: “Hey Pig, I heard you joined a theater group; you’re acting now?” Pig: “Not yet, I have to apprentice as a stagehand first. Right now I’m only crew-rated.”
Panel #2- Pig: “But someday soon I hope to be cast-rated.”
Panel #3: Stephan Pastis is tied up and hanging upside-down from the ceiling. Comic Strip Censor is scowling and holding a baseball bat. Insert witty rejoinder.
That’s pretty funny, Lumpy. 
About BigT’s post: I think Jim Davis and Garry Trudeau (him especially) do this all the time.
I’m genuinely hating this storyline. There’s no way they can end it that isn’t a horribly overdone cliche, and Bernice is being portrayed as every walking stereotype of a new counseling student (despite the fact that she spent a year as an intern offering counseling advice AND was generally regarded as more effective than the actual trained counselor) when she’s always been the most level-headed of the group.
I’m trying to decide if I want to stop reading altogether, or stop reading for a few weeks, let them get this resolved, then catch up through one binge session.
I’ll be content if “Pru” gets out of the story line promptly. There are too many characters in the strip as it is.
Is Evans progressive enough to make Pru gay?
I believe his daughter is doing some of the writing.
Your source?
Huh-this turns up on a Google search. I’ve seen “Karen” mentioned in comments on the GoComics page, but never connected it.
