don’t see a clock face there anyway, could be 5 pm or something.
Now let’s hope Brandon isn’t a slacker in school…

Are Val & Joan pushing in opposite directions through the revolving door in panel 2? Bit like young love then… ;)) Mxx

Revolving door? Who says it’s a revolving door? Most malls in America (ie, every mall I’ve ever been to) have glass doors that swing.

Well Val met him so not reason for dinner.

I think Brandon (already) looks like a better bet than Jordan. Love Val’s swivel in the last panel.

Nothing like a new love interest to take away the pain of missing the old one.

tasha_medved revolving door means teens revolving from one relationship to another, figure of speach. Let’s see how long this one last. Val in long run will be getting a lot of whiplash until she learns changes with boys will be happening faster then she can keep up with. Holly will son forget who each guy is each time. At least she escaped having the boy meet the family.

Hmmm…just wondering if Jordan was a decoy?
Carollouise1 Premium Member over 13 years ago
Brandon looks like a nice, normal boy.
Perhaps he is smart also and Holly will keep her grades up!

Holly, this may not be the case, but I think:
He’s just not that into you.
