“Hold the Homophone” – “You Had Me At Senior” – “Half Credit”

If Tiff’s brain was a light bulb. It would be only a half watt!

That little guy is giving her as little attention as he can.

There’s not a single occupation I can suggest for Tiffany without insulting all the good people who already do that job…

A Tension…. “The only snack bar that will not just satisfy your craving, but also makes you feel like you’re the only one getting fed” “Rush for a Tension bar… before it’s all gone” … from Allyue….. – Your World Entertainment…. “Available for almost any occaision… as long as it’s not boring us, too” – and by…Love City… “Come and visit the only place with all one-way streets… T. Farell, Mayor-Maynotte”

Tiffany wants to be an actress. An actress craving attention? That happens only in the comics pages, I’m sure. However, it seems that in the first panel the underclassman is in fact being very attentive to Tiffany, based on the fact that he is staring into her chest. An underclassman staring at a gorgeous senior? Again, this never happens in real life, so of course it makes for a hilarious cartoon!

Ever selfless, our Tiff. Exhorting others to do what she eouldn’t be caught dead doing herself….

We’re supposed to believe that there is a 3-4 year age difference between that freshman and Tiffany?

Vanity goeth before a fall. Tiffany is vain and craves attention, but somehow I think somebody is going to end up doing some community service with real seniors

And to think that Dr. Feelgood’s name is Harold. He always seemed more like a Roy to me for some reason. Anyway….

This is how I’m working out the deal with the miniature freshman. Remember when “Pitts School” was sometimes called “Pitts Junior-Senior High School”? In my head, that is what I’m telling myself. So when Luann, Bernice and Delta were gawking at who they called “9th graders” the other day, they really meant to say “7th graders”. Because I’d believe that kid in the last panel is 12 or 13 if not a very late bloomer.

vapid

Aha! This is a flashback to Gunther when he started Jr-Sr High School. He met Tiffany’s mentor and this is the result. Can you really blame him for being “scared” of “pretty” women?

Ironically, my niece (senior) and nephew (freshman) are now attending the same HS together. I was a little worried that my niece would try to boss my nephew around a lot, but what with all the “anti-bullying” emphasis, these days, I’m assured it won’t happen.

I just hope Tiff doesn’t run afoul of those “zero-tolerance” policies. We need her. Certainly Luann needs her as a counter-foil.

PS. (Off topic)… I can’t get over the fact that when I last saw my niece/nephew this past Sat., my niece’s BF was over the house. And his black BM’er was in the driveway!!! Nice kid, but a BM’er???

We all gotta know that the small freshman are simply an artistic technique so as to make their years clearly distinct. In reality, most kids are about fully height by 9th grade, they are just really skinny. But the technique works, makes the point, and is funny too.

Our Tiff of late sure has been the shallow Tiff, not the clever and conniving Tiff that actually thinks, gets things done, stirs the pot, and wins the roles. If the shallow side prevails she is destined for that golden pole, or a convenient marriage where she continues to be the neighborhood/community trouble maker. (Or husband stealer.) Course we’ll never live long enough to see any of that due to Luann-time.

DW is specialAsk him to tell you more

Random word generator WOULD make more sense and explain some things.

Thanks

I have an absolutely free “Oxford comma” for the Poster-maker. And who says Tiff doesn’t get it? She is, after all, very much “senior” to the poor freshman! —But it is nice to see Luann quipping at Tiff’s expense again.

Let’s not be too self-righteous guys. Who amongst us has NOT read a sign, agreed with it because it flattered us, and missed seeing the hook at the end? * I have met the fish, and she is we.

Idiotic to refer to old people as “seniors”?*I proudly get senior coffee at Mickey Ds, Burger King, IHOP. It’s a heck of a lot better than getting “Old Farts Coffee”. What I truly love is the quizzical look of the cashier, apparently wondering if I’m old enough to qualify— though I’m still anxiously waiting for someone to card me.

never heard of it being a PREREQUISITE to graduating.^I did say many…….. it’s not a universal, federally mandated requirement.. however, it as of late has become a trend for local and statewide school systems to require some form… as one poster mentioned, in their area, it is 100 hrs.,.. it varies from place to place, and method to methiod…. some actually require that the service demonstrate what the student learned, as opposed to just a “work study”… – Like you’ve said, students do have enough on their plate… but in some ways, learning to be aware of community issues and learning to get a sense of helping ones other than yourself can be tools in development and community value.. if only it didn’t fly in the face of our “self-gratifying” society…. – DGMW, tests can be useful, but it sure does seem like a lot , in both the amount of tests, and the different kinds… it seems to benefit the teachers, admin. and school system’s demonstration of their effectiveness to their superiors more, than just for the student’s benefit… if only there could be more balance….

It’s a testimony to how crappy our schools have become that Tiffany is even a senior.

wow, “hey! look at me!” Tiff has officially regressed to the mental state of a 4 year old.

Maybe this is a preview to a visit to the nursing home to visit Luann’s liddle ole lady friend, whose name I can’t recall. The one who used to own Brads house. What was it?

I tried to reply to Sisyphos’s comment, but the ‘response’ space keeps vanishing. And sorry if some of my comments are duplicated. Am I the only one having trouble making the GoComics site work today?

Luann’s comment about ‘we deserve to be entertained’ is drawn directly from the wording of the poster, so it’s a cute commentary on both the Tiff’s reaction to the poster, and the poster itself.

If it were any other gal saying that, I would think she meant “YOU! a little attention up here!” As in: “Hey, my eyes are up here!” However, he doesn’t look like he looking anywhere in the first frame – just moving along the hallway.

How about HOOKER? That would be a good job for this beeatch!

I’m glad I’m not among THAT elderly!

The good thing is, Tiff didn’t demand that the freshman provide love. Just attention.

I think it could be made obvious the kids are younger without making them tiny like that. My daughter is still in Middle school and is taller than some seniors in HS.

Ewe, sur, “R” a wordsmith. Eye fined you’re posts two bee well writ ten, end can “B” entertaining.

I see you also had some problems with the site, today… page was not responding there, for a while.

There was also a supersized picture on here, earlier… maybe that made the page difficult for a time, especially if there was “hosting” involved…..

As an alternative to the 100 hours of community support, I suggest requiring them to do a book report on “Atlas Shrugged”, by Ayn Rand.

Thanks. She is a fave of mine, because she tells the truth.

What happened to my post on MJ supporting the NRA^^Ummmm…. I hate guns and think of the NRA as a bunch of moronic troglodytes who barely share a brain between them.

I’d certainly pay attention to Tiff, moreso to Luann.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three rights make a left.

Stop it, Tiffany! Just STOP IT! You’ll never get anymore attention from anyone. BTW, your performance as Martha Washington STUNK!

And what about words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently, such as lead (to be in front) and lead (a dense metal, rhymes with head)?^Closer to a Homograph..

noun

each of two or more words spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same and having different meanings and origins (e.g., bow1 and bow2).

Derivatives

homographic

Pronunciation: /ˌhäməˈgrafik, ˌhōmə-/adjective

Grammar

Two words that are written in the same way but that are pronounced differently and have different meanings. An example is sow, which can mean to put seeds in the ground, but when pronounced differently refers to a female pig.See also homonym(from Oxford Dictionary)

“One numbskull to another: “Quick, let’s do a 360 and get the heck out of here”I can’t stop laughing at that one.

Toof honey! ^Lol!… Tanks! (I know, I know, I cheetah’d!)

“Quill’s parents nix-noxed his amour…” I tend to agree with you; except there should be a final goo’day between Luann and Quill… ;)

Actually, I should have said, “G’bye, mate.” My Australian is not all that good… ;)

Save your breath. He won’t listen

This doesn’t sound like you. Did I miss something today?

No. You shouldn’t post. Your posts are generally disturbing, offensive and foolish. I see several from the morning are gone and that’s a good thing.

Handy wordage! And thanks!

Tiffany will be Tiffany
