She was super-jealous around Bernice and Zane, and we were originally led to believe that she was in love with Zane, but she was actually in love with Bernice (Because she was a feminist, and feminist = gay).

Brad <i>not</i> having a sexual relationship with nontramp Toni is also not creepy, whatever else you may think about it. Luann's and Tiffany's penchant for showing off their figures is not a particularly surprising or creepy attitude for an attractive teenage girl.

In the past he regularly featured stories (the Bernice-Ben-Luann triangle, Bernice and the guy in the wheelchair) linking high school girls and adult men. At least he's keeping it in the same age group now. <br /><br />If I remember right, Elwood is younger than Luann. When he was introduced a couple of years ago he was a freshman. I presume, since he has a limo instead of an overamped hot car like any normal teenage rich guy, that he's still too young to drive.gnome de blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-37407597458474721662009-06-09T11:34:20.290-04:002009-06-09T11:34:20.290-04:00Hate to find myself in the majority, but I've ...Hate to find myself in the majority, but I've got to go with Elwood.<br /><br />All the other arcs could be explained by the quest for plain ol' physical gratification.

Originally I voted Gunther since he is the most unstable of all of Luann's little rascals and seems most likely to go all berserker what with the with his sewing scissors always ready. <br /><br />On reviewing I think it's the Elwood arc. Evans has lavished too much slobbering perpetrator-ish attention on the library full of Luann's little wartlings. Evans has the girls looking like Jonbennet clones and the boys like mini Abercromboids. I wonder if he's not tracing over some of the photos in his most recent copy of 'Lolly-tots'?

How dare she! What a slut!<br /><br />I voted for "Gunther gropes Luann," but I'd vote for any Gunther storyline. I loathe him. He's like a larval Anthony Caine--needy, judgmental, insecure, prissy, pretending to insult himself while looking up through his hands, waiting for someone to say, "Oh no, Gunther! You're wonderful!" In an attempt to make him "likable," Evans has just thrown a little "tragic" backstory (his dad left him! he was raised by a single mom!), given him weird, infantalizing hobbies, and decided that bratty, babyish passive aggressive pouting is the best response everything that goes wrong in his life, from his mom being hurt to Luann being out with another guy). In the same way Tiffany seems to be older, Gunther still seems like he's from some kind of middle school comic. The most recent storyline involving Gunther jealous over Elwood has him acting more like a BFF who's upset that Luann is spending time with someone else than a romantic rival. <br /><br />Worse to me is the constant hints at how Gunther "deserves" Luann. Why? Not because she likes him, or because he's smart and interesting, but because he was there first. Just like Anthony!Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828779727874213014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-89094034743969525162009-06-06T13:26:18.217-04:002009-06-06T13:26:18.217-04:00I'm going with the Mrs. DeGroot/seduction stor...I'm going with the Mrs. DeGroot/seduction storyline for the simple reason that it would make an entertaining storyline in an online comic but because of the Wholesome Censors, it has to be printed on the page in some sort of code. <br /><br />I bet the original strips (pre-Wholesome Censors) actually depict TJ and Nancy getting it on like little short-eared bunnies and all we see are the leavings. And by 'original strips' I mean, somewhere deep inside the dank dark recesses of Evan's mind. <br /><br />The others are just Evans' way of saying 'I'm too puss to try to defy the Wholesome Censor so I'll just do my usual Half-Assed Storyline Cop-out.' :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-46154882976035789222009-06-06T12:54:04.527-04:002009-06-06T12:54:04.527-04:00Gotta go with Elwood here.

Brad and Toni are adults, even if he is too shy to actually make a move. Tiffany is underage, but this is pretty much in the same category as Gunther; she's flaunting, but for teenage boys. TJ and Mrs. DeGroot could contend, but I'm thoroughly convinced that he secretly pines for Brad. Delta is reaching big time and you're obviously just trying to avoid excluding her. (She had her crush on teacher storyline a couple of years ago. That would have worked better.)<br /><br />Nope, got to be Elvis the Love Gnome. He's creepy and icky enough all on his own, but Bernice also discovered that he has zero presence on the Internet. Pretty strange for a guy who supposedly made his money in IT, games even IIRC.<br /><br />Two guys with mysterious pasts is a bit much for one humorous strip. I hope Evans gives us some resolution on at least one of them soon.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-37327142391461084372009-06-06T11:16:48.975-04:002009-06-06T11:16:48.975-04:00john,
