Not smart, Bets! Essentially calling Gunther’s mom annoying won’t sit well with him.

I still can’t believe they’re bring in Irma and Al and not handling things with Tiff by themselves. I think it’s a cowardly move.

Has anyone else been having issues with this site? My thread was deleted a few hours ago, and I heard about 20 others were, as well.

They have to collude and gang up on Tiffany to face her with what might be disappointing news???

Is Tiffany that much of a force of nature that they have to form an Army to confront her???

What a bunch of Noobs!

Nice cover up, boys.

Just say goodbye boys…

I love how quickly Bets changed her mind about dinner with Al and Irma when she heard it was part of a plan to get Tiff to leave.

What I don’t (yet) see is how this is supposed to accomplish that …

Boys – YOU invited Tiffany to stay with you. We readers don’t even know whether Irma and AL know Tiffany has been staying in their guesthouse. NOW you go to them to give Tiff a boot. Grow some cojones and do it yourselves. I am surprised Bets agreed to having Irma and AL get involved…SHE has the cojones to give Tiff her walking papers. No need for Bets to go to Irma and AL. She can handle Tiff.

Bets you don’t call Gunther mom Irma & Al annoying that’s just wrong.

I would love it if Al said “Gunther, I don’t care. Les has a job. Now you must get one, too.” Because, you know, it’s Gunther.

Guy’s just TELL Tiffany Irma & Al say she has to leave now that she’s recovered.

Interesting situation?

Will Tiffany go back to the dorms?

This should be an interesting dinner.

Getting rid of Tiffany .. nothing fatal I hope. (He says with a wink)

Youth is just Basic Training for Mid-life crisis which starts at age sixteen and continues for the rest of your life.

These guys are not smart at all. There is no evidence that they have ever told Mr and Mrs Grey that Tiffany has been living with them for the past month and some I imagine that Mr. Grey and maybe Irma as well are going to explode with outrage over this deceitful and immoral activity. Far from getting Tiffany kicked out they may find themselves kicked out!

Looks like Gunnie dyed his hair purple. Perfect color for giving your good friend the boot!

We all knew that Bets was going to handle this.

If Bets does an about face when she hears that the annoying dinner is to get rid of Tiff, perhaps the BeGun relationship is not as solid as some think. And Tiff is not even staying in Gunther’s room.

Al was in the construction business. He’ll know some people to remove Tiffany.

Dinner with the parents is probably the best idea, anyway. The pizza Bets carried in vertically is probably in pretty bad shape.

Bets don’t have hesitations. It’s not clear whether it’s out of jealousy or because Tiffany is using two friends, but even for her it’s wrong that she continues to live there. They all agree that talking to Al and Irma is the best thing to do. Dinner will certainly be interesting. But they could bring the pizza with them and eat it together!

Bets is only being honest and direct to the point, it is an annoying change of plans. Look at the story up to now. Les cuts to the chase,nic, direct Les. Discussing Tiffany’s boarding at the Gulag, when she and Gunther were rather brutally turned down when Bets and Gunther asked if she could move in. Tiffany could just come in, engender sympathy, take total advantage of the boys, and now is using them like two dumb tools while she does not confront her issue of where to stay. She has a mansion, or she could learn to live in the dorm like the other characters are. No, it’s not at all surprising she might want to join this conversation. Follow the story; Gunther’s mild question is just a misdirection play.

Anyone else feel second-hand anxiety that Bets was carrying the pizza VERTICALLY under her arm when she came in?!? :D

“On a mission”..

I like Gunther’s step dad. He reminds me of a quiet but very competent character from The Sopranos , “Yes, we gotta give Tony his kickback. But, first we gotta bury the body under the foundation.”

Clever

She brought pizza.

I’m beginning to think they should have made this comic strip Tiffany instead of luann

Maybe they could give the pizza to Garfield.

Ann Eiffel has been called many things but annoying isn’t one of them. Eat your hearts out, haters. Ann Eiffel is screaming hawt and you know it. We ❤️ Ann Eiffel!

Les with the passive-aggressive masterstroke, as befits a generation that would rather text than deal with voice-to-voice or face-to-face dialogue.

Hit the road Tiff, and don’t’cha come back no more no more no more no more, as in Hit the Road Jack, as performed by Ray Charles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Tiz6INF7I

I really don’t like her! So rude!!

You know?

This is like watching an impeding railroad grade road-crossing accident.

Instead of getting out and away from the stuck vehicle, or if possible, calling the 800 number posted on each RR crossing to notify the train dispatcher that your vehicle is stuck on that crossing, you INSTEAD stand around frantically waving your hands in the air screaming while some other guy videos the train plowing into what used to be your Nissan, for social media.

That said, Bets Knows Tiffany’s has been staying at the Gulag.

If Al and Irma didn’t know Tiffany had been staying there, they are ABOUT to KNOW.

Dinner at Al and Irma’s will never be the same after this week.

GOOD times!!

Now, what’s for dessert? ;-)

I wish they’d let Tiffany grow. Just when you think she’s become a more complex sympathetic character, she goes right back to being nothing by a shallow, materialistic user. And somehow using her looks to manipulate men and never having a boyfriend at the same time.

By the way, which are the two annoying’s? Tiffany or dinner with the parents? Or dinner with the parents as opposed to watching Wolf Pack, scaring down pizza. Very interested in replies on this.

At least we can comment here today. Over at CK the comment boxes aren’t appearing, at least on my desktop.

Methinks Bets is going after Tiff and not the parents,

Hmm — this actually could work out well. Your landlord can’t fix this problem for your, since removing a subletter is your problem, but your mother and your uncle can give you solid advice about how to do it.

I’m w/Gunter & never disrespect someone else’s Mama (even if they’re doing it)

The pizza looks to be a small hardly sufficient for 3. Going by yesterday’s strip the bachelor pad looks to be in the backyard and at most 100’ from the main house with no fence between them. Likely Tiffany’s car would be parked in the driveway of the main house. It has been established that we are in January as classes(writing class) have begun so if the missing ring/broken window arc was in September then it has been 5 monthsof Tiffany crashing there. Dad was not home all summer so that means he has been gone 9+ months.

Bets sure has a weird way of carrying a pizza.

Because simply telling her yourself is much too hard.

I hate how Bets is supporting them being wimps. They should tell Tiffany to her face themselves, not go running to Irma and Al to tell on her. Yeah, Tiffany is taking advantage at this point but I get the impression Tiff’s rationalizing it cause they’re not showing any signs TO HER that they’re not fine with it. Also, that “annoying” remark was pointed. Even Gunther can tell Bets has an issue with his parents given his dejected response. Back-handed snipes about your partner’s family? Not a good look.

Tiff will just eat the pizza!

Panel 2: Gunther questions Bets description of his parents as annoying? Tiffany thought Al and Irma were delightful during her dinner with them and the boys.

Cracks in the Gun-Bets relationship developing?

Two days in a row when Gunther and Les agree! Hmmm. If I remember correctly, at the last dinner with Al and Irma, Irma liked Tiffany. She may be sympathetic. Al may want to collect rent. What Bets can offer to the situation, I don’t know, other than stir the pot of discontent!

My post, with all the synonyms for cowardly, disappeared. Did I do something wrong?

Good old Les; he’s not wrong!

Somehow I’m guessing that Al & Irma will NOT be the solution to their “problem”.

I hope Al and Irma tell those three to pound sand and they return to find Tiffany relaxing with the pizza they “got for her”. Thanks guys! You’re the best friends a girl could have!

Between the 2 of them they don’t even have one set!

I suppose that there is a way to look at this arc and see the hilarity (as 1212 often says) of it, but it is at a very surface level.

Problem is that most all of the commenters are long-time readers and fans. Thus we all have individual opinions of the characters and the events that brought then to this point.

Both Gunther and Les have history with Tiffany and have been able to hold a rational discussion with her. It is difficult, at this point, to understand why they are all quaking in their boots about reclaiming their space.

I mean really!? You’d think Tiff is the personification of Ann Eiffel, herself!

The right words cut through any problem. Leslie said the magic words.

(Not that I don’t love her, but others…. well, she can be an acquired taste OR distaste.)

In my opinion, the best comment on how this should have been handled was made by Asharah: “Guy’s just TELL Tiffany Irma & Al say she has to leave now that she’s recovered.”Running to Al and Irma could backfire in so many ways. Should be hilarious.The best part of this arc is how Tiffany is shown: Greg has allowed her to grow after what happened with Ann Eiffel. She started a business, then got a job as a waitress. She dealt with the issues that caused her to gain weight. She got serious about college. She allowed Dez to lead her into healing the relations with Stef. Unfortunately she reverts to who she was in high school when her arm got damaged and we see her self-centered self again.

Who carries pizza tucked under their arm? Even stone cold, everything would slide off the crust, unless the pizza is as dry as saltine crackers.

Tiifany is more annoying than BETS!? Who is this writer and what has he done with Greg?

Anyone wanna bet that Al & Irma invite Tiffany to stay in Gunny’s old room?

Broken window pane can be replace without a permit. If the mansión has vandalism insurance, a different storyline.

Tomorrow—-Bets carries lasagna sideways.

Frame 2 Bets is dressed like she’s running for public office.

I say again….wusses!

Bets is not the girl for Gunther.

Wonder if Al will figure it out and tell Les and Gunther that they should handle their own problems.

Why do you need Al and Irma to do something you should be capable of doing yourselves?

annoying?? meaning she’s annoyed that plans have changed or having dinner with Al an Irma would be annoying? strange response on Bets’ part

Since when did having dinner with your parents become annoying?

Bets must be very agitated.

She didn’t close the lid to the pizza box.

Apologies if mentioned in above comments.

Push out Tiffany as Bets moves in. This is just swapping one problem for another.

It certainly is no secret that Bets has no love for Tiff!

Bets, that’s not how you carry a pizza.

My apologies if someone already said this. But it seems that “Annoying” is the favorite Word of the Week for G and K, lol.

It’s unclear to me exactly what Bets means by her comment. . But I’m thinking that she’s saying the change of plans is annoying, not necessarily that Irma and All are annoying.

Perception matters! Am I right, Bets?
