   I think you and Joel should be BFF. You both think alike. Last time, Joel asked about a baby bump for Bets. Now you with Stef. Ugh. Come on. Like Miles said, SO far out in left field.

   OOOOO. Crap. Your plan backfired, Tiff! Maybe do a quick guy culling and land one for Stef. That is, if you’re that hard up for a “private” room. If not, maybe stop by Kip’s room?

   Hmm…Mike? Bare chested while wearing jeans and SOCKS? I’ve never understood why guys do such a thing. If going topless, as well go in gym shorts and barefoot or sandals. And don’t 16-year-olds have some chest hair? Both my boys had emerging chest hair at that age.

   Wow. I did not realize that many kids go to long-term camps. I did not send mine because they are expensive and I’d have to send both which doubles the fee. I was also leery of them interacting with kids I don’t know and unable to screen. What kind of people sends their kids to camps besides it being summer and camps being the place to dump kids. I probably watch too many movies where camp kids sneak out during the night and get in all kinds of trouble. Many camps are near lakes – what if they sneak out and swim in the lake and drown? Or get attacked by local animals? Or get lost in the dark? Counselors sleep along with the campers and they don’t necessarily have one ear open. Too many potential scenarios for the campers to get into serious trouble. I have one friend whose son was at a camp and was homesick. He snuck out at night and got lost trying to find the road to the highway. His plan was to hitch a ride to a police station so he could call home to be picked up. The camp wouldn’t let him use the phone to call home except for emergencies – and the staff calls, not the camper. He fell and got seriously injured. Took two days to find him. Those things were what I imagined might happen. My friend sued the camp only to find that the contract they had parents signed stated they are not responsible if the campers sneak out. Geez. However, among the campers was a son of a state senator. She legislated a law requiring camps to recite that section where they are not responsible if the child sneaks out to make it clear they’ve read that AND that two counselors are required to take turns staying awake overnight on a schedule and sit outside where they could see all of the cabins. Turned out my friend’s son was not the first or last camper to run away from the camp. Too many campers, too few counselors

   The set design was during their high school years. They had a play together. They broke up around graduation when Quill announced he was going to NYC to study acting and for gigs to build experience and resumes and did not invite Luann along. Then he left. Written out of the strip never to be seen again. Luann had wanted them to go to college together. I suspect in the back of his mind, Quill knew Frank and Nancy couldn’t afford to send Luann to out-of-state university so he went solo. It was also that Luann was getting clingy. Guys his age like it footloose, free to explore without commitments. As someone said, Frank wouldn’t send her to Moony without a declared major so he sent her to CC so that’s why she is there two years later, still in limbo.

   You are a man obsessed with the sexiness of the female characters in this strip and you are telling ME Bets is just a cartoon in a strip? HA! The guy who always howls at the low-cut shirts, short miniskirts, skimpy bath suits…then mention whether Bets should have a BABY BUMP? Do you even KNOW the writers of this strip? They are into family values. Of course, they’d not allow that to happen. Yes, they did with Ann because she lived with Tom and was in a relationship and much older. Turned out she was never pregnant anyway. Get sex out of your head. At least, refrain from commenting on sexist stuff such as a pregnant college girl as if she is too dumb to know about birds and bees. They’re offensive and condescending to the female species.

   No. Quill went to NYC for college. If he were going to Moony, Quill and Luann wouldn’t need to break up.

    Well a lot of university kids went without knowing their majors. I was one. A lot of them have vague ideas of what they wanted when they start and within a couple of years, they decide their majors, usually in their third year, when they would need 2 years to complete the credits required for their area of study. The first two years are ideal for core classes and electives. Luann could have done that. My guess is Nancy and Frank couldn’t afford to send her to the big university plus she didn’t qualify for scholarships. Scholarships are highly competitive so the students gotta be in the top leagues in the grades and their high school resumes. I’ve taught high school and in my 20 years career, only a handful of students got scholarships to ASU/UofA/NAU or the private Gold Canyon U. What most of them who did not get scholarships did was go to CC for the core classes and these big universities will accept credits from CC and give discounts (comparable to CC prices and GPA prerequisite) for their major courses so they could get degrees from the big universities rather than the CC. Depends on what the major is as some majors are fine with CC degrees while others would do better with degrees from the big U.
