I predict a pratfall. It may draw a crowd. Good for business.

“After all you owe Dez $600”. Good on Kip to remind her. It it her debt that motivates her to help with sales? (assuming she thinks that’s going to boost sales)

She needs to pay Dez back.

He seams to imply if she “helps with sales” she’ll get some kind of enumeration. So far, this arc is awkward at best! And I cleaned that up.

This is not going in the direction I figured it would at all. I thought there would be a big fight over Kip, but Ms. Steffi is so self-absorbed, all she noticed was a project that was done without her and not that Tiffany is interested in ‘her man’…

“What is she selling exactly?”.

T & A.

Kip has had a little exposure now to a girl who is at least trying to use her brain to get ahead instead if her looks. And he looks like he’s starting to notice the difference.

I think they’d better tell her that she’s going to need to show the goods not tease people.

Gimme a break. Tiffany knows what Stef is selling.

Give me a T. Give me an E. Give me an A. Whatdaya got? Teas Say it again! TEAS!

Herself

As the stewardess called her book, Coffee, tea, or me?

Kip sure doesn’t seem to have Stefs back as a BF a lot of the time ,huh?

Tiff needs help with her fashion. She looks matronly in that outfit. Suitable for older women. She knew how to dress herself when she was slimmer but not so much with the extra weight. Sadly, the plus size fashions suck, however, there are pricey plus size boutiques where she can buy her clothes and still be fashionable. Or it is just that GNK didn’t research plus size fashions and put her in grandmother type clothes. Anyway, Good on Kip – bluntly reminding Stef she owes Dez the money she borrowed.

The biggest airhead in the world that is Stef!

Kip looks more like Gunther in first panel.

tease tease

I did not see that coming.

Why is she always in her cheerleader costume?

Now the customers’re staying away in droves

What’s Stef “selling?”

Herself. Cheap.

Now We know why her team Lost.

Playing devils advocate – this time for Steph – sex sells.

Ok, I have to say, this is nice, not just on behalf of Tiff, but all the gang considering her as part of group. Very nice story development.

Nice to see Stef is able to understand she has a debt with Dez. I was afraid that in her eyes the $600 were a gift she deserved because she’s superior to others. Also Stef wants to be part of the group, maybe she’s scared of being sideline. With the personality she has it wouldn’t surprise me that people don’t want to have her around. As much as she’s quite insufferable and self-absorbed, she’s able to drawing attention to the Ts’Teas booth. I think she’s not bad, at least not consciously. But she needs to change a lot. Let’s wait for see how she react seeing Tiffany flirting with Kip.

She is selling the $600 worth of tea? ⭐️

Ok, that was a nice long set-up for this joke. clap clap

Stef may sabotage it for everyone!

Gosh, Stef, you’re a stuck up snotty egotist mooch, can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want you involved.

“What is she selling, exactly?” The same thing she’s always selling, in the only currency she has…

I really don’t like that name.

Stef owes Kip money as well.

Stef is selling herself, and anything else, the only way she knows how.

Tiff acts like she’s unfamiliar with the product.

What else – herself!

Notice the smile leaves Kip’s face when Stef shows up?

So did she try a sample that Tiff poured yesterday? Maybe it affects Stef differently. A ‘kick’ of caffeine.

It’s Stef. If it’s not about her, then she’s not interested. So yeah: She’s selling her (bad) dancing because she can’t grow up.

I wonder if there is a tea for a “Stef” infection?

Better than one of those floppy things or a guy spinning a pointer.

No tea for me. Not after that.

Sex, like most commercials on TV!

I see here a bit of Tiff’s envy of Stef’s ability. I wonder is Stef does modeling. For the first time, she’s showing an athletic body. At least each one is doing something to help with the Tess Tea Company.

I don’t like where this is going.

She’s “selling” the only thing she feels confident about, her cheering. It’s kind of sad but as this is Wednesday and a lot is set up, I’m still going to wait to see where this arc surprisingly goes.

To keep up my (occasional?) unrepentant mcp status, I can think of one thing Steff is selling with her cheers, and, it ain’t tea!

Come on, Tiff knows exactly what Stef is selling. Did she forget the “Eyez of Zeye”?

“Tease, tease! Tease tease!” ~ Ann❤️Eiffel. Our Most Beloved Ann❤️Eiffel, has made a career out of it. Eat your ❤️s out, smitten lowly worms. You’re neither worth of wealthy enough for the attention of Exotic Ann❤️Eiffel. Count Out.

She’s selling what always sells…

She’ll draw a crowd, no doubt.

It becomes apparent that Stef’s not the one who comes up with the catchy cheers. Imagine the catchy/hilarious jingles someone could come up with for a tea that’s basically an aphrodisiac. Shouting “T’s Teas” over and over again isn’t exactly persuasive, but admittedly at least she’ll have all eyes on her with the bouncing around. This might help sales actually.

Good question Tiff

I think she is only teasing

Kip should not have mentioned the money Stef owes Dez. Now Stef will think she is even and the debt paid off because she did some promotion for the tea.

Save Tiff’s last line when someone asks what is meant by “a purely rhetorical question”.

then an hour later a mysterious rash appears….

This little impromptu cheer of Steff’s may serve to turn Kip away. One can only hope. I for one, would like to see Tiff and Kip as a couple. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤… It could happen. (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠ ⁠)

Don’t forget the “tea” puns that only work on a visual level!

of course Steffi is just trying to draw attention to herself but it’s and effort (on her part) and if it results in sales then fine. People are looking…as i recall Tiff’s storage business flourished when a costumed Bets and Gun posed in front of her sign.

It matters what she’s selling and what people are buying.

(Just don’t rent it out.)

You don’t expect her to actually WORK now do you?

Do you really want her in sales? Or anywhere at that matter.

So are they going to have split sales proceeds 5 ways now? If the jars cost $1 (gross profit $11 jar) and the herbs were “free” leaving each a $2.20 profit per jar and of course Dez won’t have any left for personal use so she should get at least 50% leaving the others with maybe $12 for a days work.

Everything, but everything, is about her.

You know what she’s selling…

She wasn’t in the “group” of Dez, Tiff and Kip when the idea struck to market the tea. Even though her gyrations may attract some buyers, does this entitle her to a share in the profits? Hmmm. Her portion, if there is any, should go to Dez. Maybe even Kip as she owes him $$ as well. This may seems too logical for this strip though. ;-))

Maybe she’ll jump so high she won’t be able to come down

I had enough of this lame storyline 2 weeks ago. Why they felt the need to continue it bewildereds me.

Should have let her drink some tea first. She is always so over the top.

Something tells me Stef wants a cut in the profit when it’s clearly Tiff’s homework.

The fun part is that “T’s” and “teas” sound alike, so it sounds like she is repeating the same word over and over.

Steph complains they are going a group thing without her, Didn’t she just up and leave all of them to do something she wanted?

As long as it brings in the Money…..

So FYI, THE JDA PROJECT is TERMINAL FROST is THE OTHER JOEL.

As others have pointed out – there has been absolutely no arrangements regarding how the money from this little tea venture will be split up. I agree it should be Dez 50% and the rest of them can just fight over who gets what. Bets doesn’t deserve anything, she just filled some bottles while she was venting to Tiffany, and PLEASE – Steffanie doesn’t deserve anything because she had absolutely nothing to do with it at all! Where does Kip get off offering her part of the profits??? If guess it he wants to give Stef some of his share that’s his business, but Tiffany never agreed to it.

Tight tea-shirts?

Steffi does her thing! The crowd loves “it”!

Yet Tiff’s question is not catty, but rather, warranted. Does Steffi’s performance sell teas, or is she selling something else?

Well, as I said, Stef is doing her thing….

Can’t say what she’s selling here- GC would banish me.

Well, how about that? Stef is finally working hard for the money.
