You will never, ever see your money again

Perhaps Stefani Bird and Andy Capp should get acquainted with one another when it comes to borrowing money from others.

Stef, you’re a poster girl for entitlement…and I thought that one of my cats was in the running!

Steffy, don’t you realize what expecting money for “whoopie” makes you?

Aaaaaaand…here it comes…the big breakup scene. Please!

He really should give her some money. She’s practically naked. She needs more clothes!

Stef that $600.00 has turn into about $1,200.00

Dorm Building B? Impossible! Any university worth its salt would have got a ginormous donation from a wealthy alum just to put their name on the building!

But-but-but Kippy, you don’t expect me to sleep with you for free???

How about the next five minutes…then can we move on?

So Stef and Kip have been together for two years. They must have met in high school unless they are 20 or 21 years old.

Stef is a textbook narcissist and it seems Kip has finally had enough!

You’ve been together that long, Kip? And you just now found out she is a user? And that she thought she was marrying you? Wake up, Kippy. And run.

Good for Kip to stand up to this Ann Eifel in training but man it took a long time, I guess he is lucky she only hit him up for coin one time 2 years ago, I was expecting her to be always nipping at his wallet every time they went anywhere and she saw something she wanted in the restaurant (remember how Stef ordered off the top of the menu with Tiff when Tiff was trying to get her as a roomie) or shopping mall.

Here is the golden opportunity that comes rarely in life Kip, served on a silver platter. Life it far too short for high maintenance partners. Repaet after us: “You may have but I am done with your planning. I am moving on.”

This drama is over the top. Tiffany’s plots are more clever.

“I thought we planned on being together forever” — yeah, sure seems like forever from here. Soooo done with that twit.

I seem to remember a fuss not so long ago about a valuable misplaced ring that Kip had given to Stef. Was that representative of their planning to be together forever? I don’t recall anyone actually referring to it as an engagement ring. If there is any hope that Stef will be able to pay anyone back for a $600 loan, might this ring be pawned as collateral for such a loan? Is Kip short of funds, himself, because he may still be making payments for that ring? We’ve been shown that Stef is generally pretty clueless about anyone but herself, so she is unlikely to appreciate such a likelihood. In any case, it appears that Stef is about to learn one or more of life’s hard lessons, whether financial or relational or both.

Definitely red flags!

红旗！

Time to move on Kip. She’s a user and has no respect for you… POOH-POW BE GONE STEF!!! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠━⁠☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡ﾟ

He is not a jerk, She is, and a big one!

Did Kip Lee promised to marry Stefani Bird? Forever?

They might be older than Pitts High School students (19 yr old Luann, and etc.)

Okay.

So Stef treats everybody like garbage and not just her roommates.

Could it be that Kip is indeed about to pull a “Bets” and ghosts Stef for a few weeks until she shapes up?

Wow Stef, that’s the lamest excuse ever! Maybe this really is the time where her and Kip break up for good! But I wonder if Stef will also ask her friends for money and they will tell her to go to work or to sell her old things. Perhaps this could make her more humble and bearable, or make her even worse. It would be tragic if Tiffany finds her as a colleague waitress at The Fuse.

Kip must have made that plan during the heat of passion.

“I thought we planned on being together forever.” Think again, Stef.

“What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is yours”.

Because forever is how long it will take her to pay him.

Eh, I’m still waiting to get my $20 back from a girl in my naval reserve unit. We got home after a week at the base in Newport, RI and she needed some money to pay off the airport parking. That was 40 years ago, when twenty bucks was worth more, and I had a crappy job that paid a whole lot less. You should always listen to that little voice that tells you not to give out loans unless you are willing to simply give that away.

Anyhow, $600 to enter some event!!?!?!?!?!?! Sounds like a scam to me.

Just break up with her and be done with it, you can do better. Anyone can.

Rut roh! Here comes the moment of truth.

If Stef has been taking money from Kip for what she does for him. What does it make her? Pretty much what we’ve all been thinking about her anyway.

I’ve been in Kip’s position before… I had the fortitude to tell her to go pound sand, and never looked back.

How conveniently girls like Stef will forget past-due debts. She is a classic user/abuser.

Together forever doesn’t mean you can pay him back whenever you feel like it.

Uh oh… she’s going to try and hit up Tiffany for the dough, since she IS rich after all. Wonder how that will go?

Plans are… in flux, Stef. Be advised.

Time to break up with this beeatch.

Change of plans: we will be together forNever!

Kip! If you don’t wake up, Stef will walk on you forever!

Well maybe not forever, more like about 60 more seconds.

Time for good ol’ Bets to fire up the internet poll…let the fans decide!

This used to be a fun comic to read every day…

Steph stiffed Kip. Bets are that Steph will stiff Tiff.

The source of the two biggest arguments between couples – sex and money.

So now I’m praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

’Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don’t think that I can really survive

I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow

But God only knows what I can do right now

I’m praying for the end of time

It’s all that I can do

Praying for the end of time,

So I can end my time with you!

no new loans until the old loan is paid.

NO WAY with that slime ball!!

Just dump her. Seems to have zero redeemable qualities with no real looks to try and make up for that. Very annoying character, but I suppose that’s the reason why

Spent 35 years in public education and managed to retire when I was ready, which was a minor miracle. Education in high profile, extremely large schools was really as tough a business as any Fortune 500 company. But one thing that was consistent during the 35 years was the drama, trials and tribulations with cheerleading. Administrators cringed yearly. Outside agencies had to be hired to judge tryouts. It was really something. As ludicrous as this arc may seem, it is not far fetched based on what I have seen.

How perfect for you.

Is it “their” plan to always be together or just hers?

Definitely a high maintenance “relationship”

Kip doesn’t have $600? What his money manager put him on an allowance? Presuming Kip IS having some sort of pro career, even playing in the USFL, he should have $600.

I wonder who she’s going to “Shoog” to death to get that money…?

The dorms look like a prison.

This girls looking for a sugar daddy!!! Grow up get a job!!!

She must have been paying Kip back in other ways…

If she can’t afford to go, she should stay home.

They’ve been dating for 2 years and Kip has given Stefi money before. He is not going to break up with her over this. Weren’t they in the middle of a break up when we first met them? Or they had just gotten back together. We know that Kip has tried to end the relationship at least once. So being together forever is all in Stefi’s head. Kip is obviously not saying that is what he wants, since he keeps trying to get out.

Kip and Piro look lot alike. Wonder if they’re related too?

Doesn’t this entitled brat have parents she can demand money from?

Kip, it’s high time that you dump that entitled Stef’s sorry butt.

Stef needs to get a job.

Well, maybe you better think again, Stef.

No you planned on taking his money forever.

Uh Oh! This IS beginning to sound serious. Money is often the cause of many breakups so these two could be on the verge. I’m not a Kip fan at all but I still like him better than Stef—-whom I despise. She’s next to the bottom for me. Only one I dislike even more is Ann.

Banks DO cut you off if you fail to repay loans. Unless your an investor in SVB

Every time I see her I think of a scene from the movie “Slap Shot” where Moe is watching a soap opera on a TV in a bar and he comments on a woman on the screen as being “no good.” I won’t quote the complete line, but if you’re curious I’m sure you can find it.

Dump and flush!

thinking the SS Stef is about to find an iceberg!

This biotch is insufferable!

Sex can only go so far Kip just keep walking away you’ll be better off

which means never!

I hope he doesn’t change his mind. Now who will she try to con? Many think Tiffany, but even though she lives (d) in the mansion, I believe she’s still on a budget..and working. Bets seems to be the one with the money, but I can’t see her donating. Dez may suggest a bake sale and provide the brownies! ;-D

Stef officially changes her name to Minnie the Moocher

Cancel THE PRIVACY HUT and use it to store groceries

BTW, resorting to name-calling harpy mode isn’t endearing, darling. Boy should cut and RUN because the girl is revealing her true self and the inside IS NOT pretty.

Ding Ding! Right answer, Kip! “Sorry, I’m not giving you any money”. Note the word substitution of “give” vs. “loan”. Kip has seen the light and crossed over to the Good Side. He knows that any “loan” to her becomes a gift cuz she hasn’t paid back the previous loan.

Steffi: We planned on being together forever. I might as well tell you… I missed my last “cycle” so I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a “test”. It’s positive and you’re gonna be a DADDY, Kip-ums! So we’ll be together forever, all right! HUG ME!"

Really capturing the emotional manipulation of an abusive personality (Stef) on this comic strip.

No.

abuser: You’re being [insert pejorative here] right now

Next come the practiced tears and/or threats of break-up.

She pays him back in other ways :)

Time to dump him Stef and find a boyfriend who can afford you.

So all loans to Stef are forever loans with zero interest.

Kip! Count your blessings, you won’t count your repayment. Cut your loses-run!

Kip and Luann sitting in a tree . . .

Kippy’s been putting up with her for 2 whole years?

No Drama Des hears the ruckus and comes in to calm things down — and Kipp realizes he could do with a lot more of that.

“….I was going to pay you AFTER that.”

Run, Kip, run. This gal is nothing but trouble.

Where would Tiff get the money? Wasn’t it just a couple of years ago that she was selling-off her belongings to pay for her dorm room? Sure, her dad finances Tiffany’s education at Moony, but not all her “extras”. Why else would she be waiting tables at the Fuze? Unless she is making a couple of hundred $$ a night in tips, I doubt that she would have $600 lying around to loan to Stef.

Don’t walk, run away fast. One of the big guy rules is you don’t sleep with crazy.

Not if you keep acting like that you aren’t going to be together forever.

and I’ll wager that she also has planned out her whole extravaganza future wedding with all the bling and a $50,000 price tag and not a care in the world as to who might pay for it … and will weep about “her dreams since she was six years old being crushed” … THIS is entitlement. Tiff at least went out and got a job when her pie in the sky hit the fan.

That’s the thing with being a gold-digger. Sooner or later the lode is depleted.

You will never have this conversation with Tiff….

“What do you mean WE planned on being together forever? I don’t remember having that conversation, much less agreeing to it!”

not making a good argument for being together “forever”

“Kippy” (gag, btw), it’s time to cut your losses and cut this leech loose. Consider yourself lucky to get off relatively cheaply. This would only have been the beginning.

Steffi needs to stop listening to the all-80s station. She has obviously heard that Rick Astley song too many times.

Perhaps Kip is finally coming to his senses.

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”.

Piro’s troubles were being an “enforcer” collecting loans from people. Tiff owed money and didn’t pay it back until a certain window was broken. Tie all of these idiotic threads together.

I wouldn’t have dreamed of asking a guy for $600.

Looks like Forever is over.

Ugh… and the random deleting of posts is back.

Kip: “You were right about that—back in the day.”

I hope this is the end of Kip and Stef as a couple and in this strip. Very one-dimensional. I don’t want to see Tiff with Kip – being with Steff doesn’t say much for him. Tiff should wake up and see Ox for the gem he is.

I’m really enjoying this week!

As opposed to Stef, who is such a jerk all the time?

She must be really good in the sack for him to keep putting up with this. (So far.)

Stef is coming into contact with Reality, and it’s like matter and anti-matter. The two cannot exist in the same place at the same time. Tough patooties, Steffikins!

Lots of you wonder who Kip is going to land on after “the breakup”. It looks like all the dudes better look out for the newly freed Stef, because she’s expensive. Personally, I vote Les to be next to take a luxurious ride with Steffie. He’ll beg borrow, and steal from everyone to satisfy her “14 kt Mind”. Apologies to Gene Watson.

Stef needs to start a GoFundMe page-I’m sure she’ll get LOTS of donations with that entitled attitude.

She’s totally gonna pawn/sell his ring to get the $600. He’ll ask what happened to the ring at some point and, well, it won’t go well.
