Well, Now. Guess “who” that is calling Lu? Can We say J.A.C.K, boys and girls?
And “Jack Fans” From Sea to Shining Sea are giving a Collective Sigh of Relief.
So what’s next for Poor Gunther? Tiffany? Nah. Les has probably already asked her out.
Bernice? Ye Cats, hasn’t Gunther SUFFERED enough?
Rosa? Don’t even THINK about it?
All that’s left is Gunther pushing the “send” button in frustration on his “Profile.” And if and when he does, I wonder “who” or “what” will answer? (Shudder) One “Train Wreck” coming up.
Well, let me be the first to say that already, I don’t Like Her. NEXT!! :)
It’s not Jack calling Luann; it’s probably Toni, asking Luann to stay with Shannon because she has to work and Shannon’s father suddenly has a chance to try for a part in a commercial about climate change somewhere in California…
Whew. A disaster averted! No more, please. You’re good friends and love each other as friends which is already priceless in itself as it is HARD to find true friends. You two already have each other. Treasure it and move on. Now, who will they meet?? We already know Jack is just a friend. Tiffany is not happy with Gunther and too preoccupied with Ann and her dad. And she won’t always be there for Gunther – she’s not built that way. Bernice could be a good choice if she is not so snarky and all. Not another Rosa either. He needs another Luann but with the potential of becoming more than friends.
Disappointed, but not surprised. Classic misdirection play. So the denouncement is what comes next. Or should I say who. I know who I want, but I won’t say either way until whoever is coming after that “y” Poopie though.
Of the 20% it’s not-Jack on the phone; leading contenders are: Irma 10%, Les 8%, cold sales call 5%, a Nigerian prince 3%, field 13%. (Note: Total does not add to 20% due to rounding.)
Always struck me that Bach wanted to see just how many notes he could stuff into one piece. Seems to be a common thread among the majority of his organ pieces. Maybe he was just showing off ‘those crazy flipper fingers’. But I do like the Toccata though.
Well, I am glad that the romantic interlude appears to be at least temporarily averted.
I am still of the mindset that I sincerely hope Gunther is able to meet and become romantically involved with a NEW character. I think he deserves a fresh start. I think there is too much baggage for Gunther with the old crew in that regard.
In honor of Valentine’s Day ….. Hope it is Quill on Luann’s phone. Calling to say he has been thinking about her and wanted to wish her a Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s start the romance back in Luann’s life instead of ‘guy friends’.
I said earlier that Gunther’s date-profile description of Luann was one of the sweetest things he ever said to her. Luann could only be deeply impressed – to the point of the Almost Kiss!! :)
They took it to the edge, then both backed off. I think there is attraction between them but neither wants to risk ruining their special friendship. Wise choice!
This was Gunther’s chance. If he’s interested in Luann, he should have kissed her. He’ll look back at today’s strip, specifically, as The Point at which The One Got Away. Neither Jack nor Quill nor even Aaron Hill on the phone had anything to do with frame 1-2; Gunther just didn’t take the initiative at the moment it was available. Without going to these extremes, if he’s going to Get The Girl, he has to be at least a little more like James Bond and less like Pee-Wee Herman.
This is an echo of the moment when Mary Richards and Lou Grant almost, almost kissed on the old “MTM Show.” It was funny then and insightful because they were so different and they sensed the ludicrousness of the moment. Gunther and Luann are not, by contrast, ludicrous at all. Longtime friendships, easygoing relationships, are just the place where real romance can begin.
I still say I want to see him and Tiffany. Something about that a few years ago when he showed up with the scruff out the blue… Seemed like it was perfect.

Two possibilities, either Jack’s on the phone, or Gunther really did create a dating profile for her, and she already has a response.
