    Oh, Bets it is YOU the reason why your exes were compelled to cheat. They wanted to escape you. Sorry, they did it the wrong way which was cheating so you would find out and break up with them. You spared them the stress of confrontation and breaking up. A lot of young guys are still immature and exercise poor judgments. And you blew it for the numerous-th time by forcing Gunther to pose and snap for your fans. Fans are YOUR priority, not Gunther. You need to take a good look at yourself.

    Reciprocity: the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit,

    Well at least it seems she isn’t pregnant. If she wants him to refocus his attentions, she needs to reciprocate…if she’s able. She’s been hurt before, but he wasn’t the one who did.

    Aha! “Lousy Exes” (plural). I thought Bets had been around the block a few times. I also think she might be a little older than Gunther. I even wondered if she had been married. Does Bets have some ulterior motive? Like all these posted photos to make some ex jealous. Meanwhile we have the subplot between Tiff and Stef brewing. Next week could get interesting. What a let down if the scene shifts to Shannon.

    Just for the record, for those of you arguing about the rights and wrongs of the relationship Greg is painting… I don’t think there’s been a single occasion on which Bets has been depicted as showing the slightest interest in Gunter’s opinions or feelings. It’s been about her every single time. In real life, I’d be hoping that he’d drop her like a hot potato. And frankly I rather presume that’s where this strip is going – and probably very soon.

    I am pretty sure this part of this multi-arc over, for now, Bets and Gun(ther) are not breaking up, contrary to all the Bets and/or Gun(ther) haters; neither one is perfect, but they are BF/GF still. Tiffany and Bernice, that is what is intriguing still, although the next arc might not have any of the last four characters, and thr two sub-characters (well Hair is a sub-sub character) in it. Whole new set I think.

    Ok, Gunther’s been standing up for himself. If he says nothing about this, it would seem it doesn’t bother him as much as it bothers a lot of the commentariat.

    If he does care enough to say something, then the arc will continue next week and there might be actual plot advancement.

    Let’s see here.

    1) This week started with Bets asking Gunny what’s wrong. And when he tells her, she tells HIM to “Shut up!”

    2) Bets tells GUN what’s bothering HER. Namely HIS devotion to HIS female friends. Never Mind that one of Gunth’s female friends (Tiffany) is also Bets’ friend.

    3) Yesterday Gun tried to explain his position, but again Bets shuts him down. This time with “Let’s make peace.” Yeah Bets. Now that you’ve SEIZED huge amounts of “territory” let’s break out the “peace pipe.”

    4) And today, as predicted, Bets is right back on social media, because HER fans are more important than Gunther or HIS friends.

    Break-up with her Gunther. Break-up with her right now. Break-up with her while she’s posting on InstaSnapChat WHATEVER, so her whole fan base can witness it.

    Then be prepared to join the ranks of Bets “Chain of Fools” and take your place among the “Liars and Cheaters” she’ll complain to her next boyfriend/victim about. :(

    Yes!!! I was hoping they’d go this way. Their chemistry will provide a lot fun/insanely awkward moments that’ll result in sheer hilariously fun times. This will be one fun rollercoaster ride to say the least. Everything does not have to be storybook ending perfect. Why not enjoy some pure unrestrained fun insanity where things are wonderfully crazy and fun? Bets is just that kind of girl that’ll always keeps things interesting in His very predictable world. He needs that kind strong media gal that can help him and handle insanity with ease.

    OK. First, it’s just a story. Second, they’re young, still trying to figure out who they are. Gun either will or will not start to stand up for himself. Bets will or will not realize “appearance” is not more important than reality. I hope that this will run for a few more panels to see this storyline move a bit more down the road. I feel they’re both good kids, just need to work on a few things.

    What a random, disjointed arc this has been. First the writer tries to make it about Tiffany being the bad guy for wanting to go to a party. Then he makes it about Bernice overreacting to Gunther and Bets sitting too close together. Then he makes it about Gunther—and Bets!—helping Tiffany keep the party a secret from Bernice. Then it’s about Gunther being bitter and snippy, for some reason. And what’s the ending (I hope it ends, anyway)? It turns out Bets, the fun new character, gets to be the bad guy after all! It’s the ultimate non sequitur. I think Evans would do well to write shorter storylines, because this one was all over the place.

    Here’s a thought: At one time, Greg may have intended Bets’ “Snapgram” addiction as something she needed to get over, a detriment to her and Gunther’s relationship that would prove problematic eventually.

    BUT a monkey-wrench has been thrown into Greg’s “Master Plan” for the characters. That wrench is The Corona Virus.

    As Greg works the new reality into storylines ( I don’t believe he can ignore it forever), “Social Media” takes on a new role and becomes more important in people’s interactions and relationships.

    This could twist things around in previously unexpected ways.

    We have only just learned the tip of Bets’ personal back story: that she has been cheated on by lousy ex-boyfriends. That’s a serious issue and explains her need to control her relationship with Gunther.

    We don’t know who those guys were, we don’t know where Bets is from or what her family story is, but it’s pretty clear that she is really into Gunther, and she is terrified of losing him to anything.

    That makes her possessive, and posting shots of them on social media enhances her sense of control. I’m not engaging in pop psychology — I’m engaging in MFA in Creative Writing psychology, in the process of gaining that, I learned about developing characters, plotting, back stories, and story arcs. And that is what this is.

    After all, both characters are fictional cartoon characters, albeit well-done characters. Gunther’s emerging from his shell, but we don’t know a lot about Bets’ back story.

    In some ways, I am reminded of the Toni and Brad story. The first time Toni appeared, obviously Brad couldn’t keep his eyes off of her, and she would have nothing to do with it, and was dating the horrific Dirk. Now they’re married. In that romance, there was a lot of unraveling that had to happen before they could get married.

    Despite my MFA, I won’t offer an idea on how this will turn out. From what I’ve seen reading the strip over the decades, I’ve noticed that the teenage romances turn out badly, as they usually do in life. But the major adult romance so far, Brad and Toni, worked out well.

    End of essay. (as opposed to rant)

    The future. Someone snitches on the party and Bernice is fired from her RA job. As the powers think she was in on it they add the comment “untrustworthy” to her permanent record. Out of a job she drops out of college but is unable to secure employment due to her untrustworthiness. She becomes a sex surrogate by day and a hooker by night. Accidentally runs into Aaron who is back and a multi millionaire. They marry and she lives a life of ease after she places contracts on those who betrayed her. That should take us to 2040.

    Greg is doing a good job of sharing little tidbits of Bets controlling nature – a little at a time. It’s all familiar to me because I dated a girl like this way back in high school. The world revolved around HER, she was very demanding and controlling, and the relationship was all about her. It starts slow, and escalates rapidly the longer he stays with her and continues to tip-toe around her demands.

    Gunther would be totally foolish if he broke up with Bets. None of what she is doing or saying is anything other than quirks or even personality issues they can deal with if they work at it. They are of the type who, if either keeps looking for perfection, will end up alone and bitter. Bets clearly fancies Gunther, and he feels the same way about her, and he, definitely, does not need to be alone. I don’t know what GnK have in mind for them long-term (she is listed as one of the characters in the character descriptions, although so are Crystal and Knute, and I really would like an arc involving them. Crystal is somebody who can see right through Tiffany, for example, but she might be able to really help Tiffany). I like her as much as I always have, and see no reason to jump ship.

AND THEY MADE IT! :) :) :) :) The resolution wasn’t perfect by any means but at least, now that they’ve made it past this, they’re more likely to last longer and then they can work through those issues that might trip them up in the future.

    But till then, a toast to this mind numbingly irritating arc. May G&K move on to something better and learn from how badly this one was received.

    Get rid of her Gunther. Jealousy is a poison born of a lack of trust. Without trust, there isno relationship. Run!

    Well, Gunth, at least it was fun while it lasted. Just don’t be surprised when you get added to the “list”.

    I see where this is going; pretty soon Gunther won’t have any friends, female or male, except maybe for Bet’s friends (if she has any, offline that is)

    If Bets were real I would be tempted to google her internet history before I (or in this case Gunther or his friends) met her. It might be enlightening.

    Well, go figure, no resolution to this when Gunth should’ve just walked.

    Bets can change moods at a ringtone!

    That’s a woman for you, Gunther (that was deliberate equivocation)….

    At the beginning of the “argument”, when Bets asked Gunther, “Are you OK”, what she meant was, "Why aren’t you paying attention and talking to me, just saying “mm” all the time?." When he responded with what was actually bothering him, she absolutely didn’t want to hear it. I think that’s something that people who haven’t dealt with narcissists might not realize. (Not that I’m an expert, but I had an ex-fiance who was the poster boy for narcissism, and several friends who treated their SO’s appallingly). Anything he says or does after that is a fruitless endeavor. He could only have said, “Oh, I’m fine, things are always great when I’m with you!”, and even that might not have satisfied her. Any one of the things she’s done would be a deal-breaker for me. But this final panel, where she has grabbed him and faced him towards the camera, would for sure cause me to take flight immediately! Gunther’s not perfect, and could improve his interpersonal communication skills. I’ve tried to like Bets, but she shows more and more just what her only desire in life is – constant attention! Can anyone imagine being MARRIED to somebody like that?

    Well, now I understand why she’s insecure about Gunther worrying about the female friends in his life.

    Over 1500 comments in the last three days. Is it Bets and Gunther, or is it because everyone is hiding from that nasty virus?

    Gunther and phone? That is inconsiderate and annoying.Seen a lot of that in my life. Seen lot of accusing me of crap with women I just talk friendly to. Accused of flirting even though I carry on much the same with male clerks at the checkout.Interesting, some of the response to a rare time that I say anything. Is Bets that characters name? That attitude is downright destructive. Oh! It is not uncommon that sort of character is guilty of all the crap, and more, that they accuse.

    She’s hot, but she’s not nice, Gunther. So not worth it.

    I had three people tell me I needed to read all of the comments for this thread/day.

    I did so, and wow, this was an adventure, but it appears that about half support breakup, half support staying together longer, and none of us will be totally happy with whatever happens.
