Somebody has to guard Mike’s feelings.

Forget about it, Alex. The internet is forever. You may delete them but they will live on somewhere in the ether. And your Dad will find them. Or, rather, Kim will find them for him.

When in doubt, do nought.

That’s what you call a parent filter.

The kid gets it. Let not the course run smooth.

Up until the last panel I was thinking maybe they got sent to the Spam/Junk folder.

A kiss on Kims sweet spot will make all of this indifference fo away .

and this was my issue with Kim at this time… SHE was the one who wanted a virtual relationship and said it would work.

Why not actually tell someone by PHONE you have moved on instead of email????

One kid who would be grounded till she was 100.

His man-in-the-middle is a little girl. Time to change the old password, huh?

Not the first time a kid tried to play Cupid.And not the last time it caused an uproar.

And on a side note: How many know that 50 years ago today the Walden Football team surprised BD by remembering it was his birthday? Happy Birthday BD and many happy returns!!!

Alex is too smart for her own good.

Seems unrealistic for Kim not to have realized that maybe he never saw them. Also, jeez, girl, you couldn’t call? Yeah, yeah, international rates, etc., and no texting when this first ran, but the phones still worked for voice!

I thought Alex liked Kim!

Uh Oh.
