    So is she crying because she has to take a shower or because she’s finally realizing her dad is gone for a whole month??

    I’m guessing it’s about her dad. It’ll be interesting to see how Brad handles this..

    I suspect she thought a month was like a day and is just now realizing her dad’s gonna be gone longer than a day or a few days.

    This is when the adult needs to take control and not let the child decide the outcome. Fail now and she will be even harder to deal with later.

    I’m really not liking this RETCON. We KNOW Brad does better with Shannon than this.

    Is the point of this arc just to push Brad to the “don’t want kids” column – just to have Toni have an “oops”?

    Shannon is not a child who cries often. I think this is the fourth time she has cried in the strip and two of those times it was because her father was not with her. Poor child, she must love her father very much. Brad will now have to do it on his own to comfort her and make her stop crying, I’m sure he can do it.

    I think she’s crying because she suddenly realized how long it will be until she sees her father. Actually Shannon’s character is changing. She’s growing up, and Brad & Toni are great influences on her.

    It’s not just Shannon- adults also often don’t hear unpleasant things that they REALLY don’t want to hear. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a trusted adult with you when you visit the doctor to hear the results of your diagnostic tests.

    So what happened to the Shannon who was begging her dad to let her stay for a “whole month” and telling Brad they’ll need to get a puppy?

    More and more I suspect this comic is being ai generated. The story lines are inconsistent and the characters don’t, well, stay in character. Or maybe G&K are getting senile and can’t remember what the story is anymore, even from just a couple of weeks ago? Maybe they just like to confuse and irritate their readers. Weird.

    You know I hope it is about her Dad, it’s good for her to be open and honest about how she feels. Everyone passes a lot of judgment in the comments about her and her behavior/attitude and also about Jonah. However, she’s still a kid and Jonah’s a father and an adult. He is supposed to have the mental maturity that Brad tries to display as a parent figure. Shannon is young and still developing, talking in circles here but maybe stop passing judgment on her for things when right now how she feels especially if it’s her Dad being gone for a month is completely valid feeling for her to have. It’s not like they can say oh he’s doing what he’s doing out of love but they can’t say oh he just did it for himself. There aren’t really good answers Brad and Toni can give her on that front and just need to be supportive and loving even if she is bratty at times.

    Perhaps she didn’t realize how long a month is. Or how the artists missed her dirty shirt. Or she misses her Dad. Or she’s still manipulative.

    I’m amazed at the amount of laundry Brad has, again. If and when Toni gets home, there will be nothing for her to do but play with Shannon, making Brad look like the bad guy.

    Hey, JP1 – I am posting about a follow-up to a thread on July 23. You wrote, Sorry folks, but this story line is just yet another “exercise in nothingness”. Luann and Bernice talked about doing things in the park, but they’re not going to do even one of those things. By the end of this week, everything will be just as it was at the start of the story, and nothing major will have happened.” This has been just two weeks of “simply marking time”. AS USUAL! Fair comment. I replied, “Let the story play out.” No promises. Just a suggestion to not set yourself up for disappointment. On August 6 Bryan appeared to get his boxers bunched up over a bill of goods I never sold but he questioned that I did. So whatever happened to your promise during the last arc that the setup would be paid off? Because there sure didn’t seem to be any payoff that I could see. Is the Romance Novel Life thing going to be followed up on to provide us some satisfaction there, or were you just selling us a bill of goods? Payoffs, money shots, satisfying outcomes, etc. are not yet in the cards for Luann. All the noble claims that he’s trying to make the strip better, to inspire GnK to new heights, are wonderful displays of arrogance. Gold medal stuff. The final rules requirement at The Comics Curmudgeon is “Don’t be an insufferable p***k.” You’re certainly not one. You’re a good man JPW, I see you follow a lot of comics with enjoyment. That’s good for the industry.
