    I’d say he sweetened the pot, and then some. Her loss.

    Allegedly, girls like funny guys, so there’s still a chance.

    Keep talents to self in middle school? Wasn’t he smart as a 5th grader?

    Farts are Never funny, unless you are the Fartee. And guess what, unlike guys women try really hard not to fart in a public restroom!

    Some farts are more comical than others. It is all about the timing. And then there are various sources for farts, divisible by input into passive and active. Passive is air that is swallowed and makes its way through the system, while active are gas generated by internal processes, mostly from anaerobic bacteria. The former, while less offensive, require more forethought and planning. The latter depend on gut bacteria and materials present for their consumption, usually indigestible proteins. Since farting on cue requires the ability to retain gas on demand as well, she should be aware that this is a feature, not a bug, as explained in the panel four, where the income is moderated to provide pleasant surprises, rather than unpleasant ones.I think the gnome costume was the deal breaker.

    Among other guys, it should never be embarrassing to let one go, loudly or silently and regardless of the smell. When you smell your own, it’s customary to give fair warning, allowing the other guys an opportunity to tough it out or back away. If it brings tears to their eyes, they should congratulate you.

    There’s a difference between just letting one rip and showboating. I’ve never thought much of showboaters.

    One more panel … then we’d see what she decides … although in middle school, no decisions about mating or potential mating can be considered final.

    Even if that was Shorty on Talent Night, she still has not in fact given her answer to his proposal (if so I may term it). Being taller is not necessarily an impediment, from her perspective (think of all those long, lean fashion models: many have shorter boyfriends or boy toys) Although, this being a “middle school” situation, as Teresa has indicated, his chances are astrognome-ically lower, I concede….

    well itchy, Teresa noted on her blog that a survey was going round her neighborhood about trees. She represented this incident by telling the blog readers how it intrigued her, and therefore made this sort of tree drawing with go-comic’s own aviator. The name is numbers going down and not numbers coming up. victor is the letter v in the police or whoever’s alphabet and is like 1adam12. Watch out when numbers come up.

    It is no coincedence that “Le Petomane” was a dude.On the subject of the strip itself – if the kid was being sincere, he’s got some good qualities. On the other hand, if putting up with cued flatulence is on the young lady’s “can’t tolerate” list, it still wouldn’t be a good match despite all the good things he’s offering. Some things are just dealbreakers.

    What if the boy in question grows up to be the renowned Lord Windesmere? Would she have turned down such a talented member of the English gentry? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FyD95Hv7CU

    I’m 6’6", 350lbs and on the hairy side. Don’t ask me what shoe size I wear. Just think of a dog bed with shoelaces. Sumo and Sasquatch both seem to apply to me. I’m thinking about changing my avatar photo. Today.

    The brass orchid is a device worn by characters in the book Dahlgren, by Samuel R. Delaney. In the city of Bellona, somewhere in the middle of America, all communication is disrupted and all is enshrouded by fog and smoke.The book deals with adult concepts, and also includes sex, violence and objectionable language.As it says in the Introduction:“You have confused the true and the real.”George Stanley / In conversation

    There are several holdouts. Baslim, INSOC, Sisyphos, painedsmile, beviek (where is she anyway?), sandboil, Beau Nobo, coltish1….*I noticed that all the videos are gone. What’s up with that? Why doesn’t GoComics announce things somewhere, like on a special page, when they want to do something that affects the entire GC community. Sort of a suggestion-box page or an question page. Isn’t there a GoComics Comic Con page here? Maybe that’s where we can communicate with them.

    Either way, we can agree that handsome movie stars make the best avatars.
