Bernice has good radar. Ben probably set off her alerts and she’s been avoiding him. Not wanting to be asked to babysit his kids would be my number one reason to avoid him. Then there’s also the fact her parents chose to house him over her, which of course is no reason for resentment. They never did explain why she lost her dorm room. It’s one of those nagging details that never gets answered by G&K. I think it had something to do with that epic party in the dorms that Tiffany fooled her into not finding.
Since its so entertaining and easy to poke holes in this arc, what adoption agency would place a baby with tent dwelling hippies? Maybe they just met up in a grocery store parking lot.
So he crawled out of his tent and swung from the trees into the army? As usual, the writing for this character doesn’t make sense. The only constant they maintain in this comic strip is the sniveling, ungrateful, self absorbed attitude they like all their characters to have. So disappointing.
I know lets have Ben be a secret enemy agent and Luann discovers his plot and saves the day! Or… we can just continue chatting for a few weeks. Bernice already told Luann he was back, married and had kids, remember? Last panel – Puddles is not buying any of this.
Luann would be so much more interesting if she quit being an idiot. Or is there a medical reason for this decline in her behavior? Does she have Tourette’s? ADD? Did she fall and hit her head? I’m serious. They write her character like someone with a disability.
“Are you sure you’re Ben” is such a rude response from Luann. I wish she would just think things sometimes…shown in those bubble clouds that mean thoughts are happening…oh wait, sorry, my bad.
