   I’ve met multiple doctors who studied music not science prior to going to med school. I met a doctor who decided as an empty nester to go to med school – so not a decision made as a kid. There may be a “typical path” but there is plenty of room for deviations from the mean.Quite a few people develop an interest in medicine after a loved one falls ill or has an accident. Yes, it is has a competitive gate-keeping path to navigate, but sometimes people have surprising ways they enter it.I don’t know what direction the creators will see Luann’s character development going, but people who aren’t fond of school, chores, etc. can make it through intense degrees and work hard at things they feel internally motivated to do. (Brad being an example in this strip.) It will be interesting to see if this inspires Luann to take up medical study, to put her foot down and demand to choose her own path away from medicine, to have a nervous breakdown under the weight of external demands, or… ?If it isn’t a dream there is extra potential for external and not just internal pressures. I feel like the storyline started off slow (not a big deal to me) but at this point has many interesting directions it can take. Based on years of reading this comic, I don’t see Luann’s character as one dimensional. I think it isn’t unreasonable that she could manage to be successful at medical study, or avoid medical study and teach, be an artist/performer, welder, etc.Looking forward to seeing where the creators go with this.

   Hopefully not just a dream, but if it is, maybe it is a sign Luann wants to make her parents proud, like Brad does, and she can’t imagine a different career doing that?

   So I guess they need to say put on your own mask first, then help others who need assistance, then, step three, turn on your camera.

   Maybe Luann fell out of her chair after falling asleep and that is the source of the thud?

   “And yes, I do say thank you to servers, not because I’m not helping pay their salary but because it’s a hard job to put up with the public, and they take a lot of undeserved abuse. A kind word never hurts.“I agree.

   I love this comic. The art is pleasing to the eye and the stories are creative. Sometimes they mimic life and other times they take advantage of the comic medium to play around in fantasy… not just in the imagination of the characters but trying out alternative realities. It isn’t a repeat of anything else I have seen.

   I really enjoy the character development in this comic and the art style.

   Maybe they’ll rebrand the strip as Bets-n-Berger?

    I hope not. She is a cool character with drive and a variety of interests. I am not sure a social media addiction is the biggest issue. It seems more like an addiction to being willing to give up herself completely “to be loved”. Gunther didn’t ask her to, and seems to encourage her to find a middle ground. They might or might not be a great fit for one another, but in my opinion she’s not more messed up than any of the other characters.

    Most people want to be loved and accepted, and few (if any) are really satisfied by feeling loved by exactly one person and invisible to everyone else – especially if there is nothing else beyond that (no job, no hobbies, no family…).She can love Gunther and want her own life… or just like Gunther as a friend and want her own life. Hopefully either way she wants a life for herself.None of the characters are real people, but as a character she seems to have lots of depth and potential (with or without Gunther).
