Procrastination, your name is Elizabeth. In the meantime, Anthony is going to keep spending money on dates with a girl who has wanted to break up with him for 2 or 3 weeks, and yet, he is blissfully unaware of how much Elizabeth does not want to be with him.
I’m betting Anthony is feeling the disconnect in the relationship. It wouldn’t surprise me if he beats her to the punch and breaks up with her…and then she’ll really have her noise out of joint if he starts seeing another girl.
I never understood the rush to 1 on 1 exclusive relationships in high school. At that age, everyone should be playing the field. You don’t ‘go steady’ till after you’ve dated a bunch of others, and even then, going steady isn’t an engagement.
Oh great! After a week of the kindergarten kids wanting to trade their running shoes, now we have to endure another week of Elizabeth wanting to break up with Anthony just because there are more handsome high school boys in the new school!
Pay attention to yourself, Elizabeth, don’t listen to the outside influences that may be steering you wrong. In this case, procrastination could be a good thing.
My first serious girlfriend never broke up with me, exactly. I went home from university over Valentines and spent the weekend with her. By the time I got back to school I knew something was off. I waited a few weeks and did not hear anything from her which was a bit unusual. I finally called and asked if it was over and she said, Yes. I wonder when she would have gotten around to telling me herself? Maybe after she married the guy I think helped engineer this. She did marry him five months after the breakup.
Unless Liz puts out like a leaky fire hydrant – she’ll be vastly disappointed when she finds out none of the older guys will want to waste time with a diehard good girl.
Yeah, I don’t buy it, in real life people just start dating someone else and the chips fall where they may, especially in high school. That’s the nice thing about the funny papers, that extra helping of innocence and decency that real life is so often missing! I like it !

Never could understand how people could go bare-headed in freezing cold and wind. At least, aren’t they concerned about how their hair will look?

He will suddenly break up with her, and she will cry and wonder why he doesn’t want to date her.

Breaking up is hard to do
Don’t take your love away from me
Don’t you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I’ll be blue
’Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we’ve been through
And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know
I know that it’s true
Don’t say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you don’t say goodbye
Can’t we give our love another try?
Come on, baby, let’s start anew
’Cause breaking up is hard to do
Now I know
I know that it’s true

In the last panel I can’t tell if Candice’s hair is blowing in the wind like the other two’s, or if it just always points that way.

Much later, Elizabeth packed up and dashed out of Mtigwaki when she heard Anthony was available again!

Probably not the greatest idea to break up with him when no other guy has actually asked her out yet.
