Although I have to say Bernice has gotten more attractive as she’s matured. But she’s such a nerdy, uptight worrier. She just needs to meet the right kind of guy – someone who will get her to unwind a bit and realize she’s got physical needs that aren’t being met. That guy will feed her a brownie and give her a back rub and then slowly, sensually, remove her… glasses.
Could you give me an example of something on “Luann” that I took personally, as you say?

Take a cold shower, man! For heaven’s sake!
:dubious:
Bernice got obsessed over this guy named Zane, but she ended up freaking him out.
Piro, Oct. 13-23.
Yes and now they were in her room after hours… with the lights out! Go Gunther!
Gunther was working Calculus problems for fun. 
With that dithering over oblivious ‘Piro’ sleeping on the couch, she was like a classic old-fashioned spinster in a long granny gown, peering under the bed to see if a man was hiding there. She was all het up at the thought of a m-a-n just a few feet away.
In the last panel, Bernice tells Tiffany that whatever they’re doing they have to stop doing at 10 p.m.
Inside the room, Gunther says " There’s no doing here!", which gets an annoyed look from Tiffany.
Well, I guess she knows what she wants…
NO, Gunther. Bernice is NOT your soul mate. She’s your grandmother. You’re three feet away from loins just aching for attention. Maybe you’re not as smart as we think.
Maybe his brief medical background gave him a sense for avoiding herpes and HPV?
I have the sense that Tiffany isn’t all that experienced either. She strikes me as lonely. She’s certain of her attractiveness and doesn’t understand why she doesn’t get more male attention.
What I don’t understand about Gunther is why he’s afraid that someone might think he and Tiffany are having sex (or even making out). I know he’s shy around women, but he acts like he’s worried about his reputation. Most guys his age (even the shy ones) would love the reputation he’s trying to avoid.
Remember, Gunther’s sort of a recovering Mama’s Boy. He’s reacting to his R.A. the way he might react to his mom catching him alone with a girl.
I don’t know if you saw today’s comic, but I’m tellin’ ya, Bernice is a seething ball of pent-up sexual frustration!
He went off to darkest Peru alone with a girl.
And they are all seething balls of pent-up sexual frustration. And quite incompetent about doing anything about it. It’s the most chaste college dorm outside of Liberty U.
The characters all achieve release of energy by strenuously avoiding sex.
A year or so ago it seemed that Quill the Australian Stereotype and the title character were on the brink, and then his Dad phoned him and said he had to come to the airport RIGHT AWAY and fly back to Australia, so of course he had to stop groping and run for his plane. A few months ago the hormones were again surging, but Quill said “Don’t you have a curfew right about now?”
This strip is always hilarious.
I am wondering who is going to be the first to fail their ‘abstinence only’ sex-ed?
UPDATE: I did finally get around to creating that cut-and-paste tribute strip:
