I think TJ will find Toni’s apartment is just right for him……

quote:

Brad’s folks certainly used to own the place. I can imagine they may have mortgaged it offstage during the run-up to the Fuse Project.

Hey! If the cafe/theater turns out not to be a financial success, does that mean they blew a Fuse?

Or has someone used that one already?

And on another topic: Do we know that the aunt who raised Toni and Fishbait has died, or is she just in another part of the country? I think Toni just said she and her brother “came here”, but I also think she has referred to Fishbait and Shannon as her “only living” relatives". Is there any more back story on the Daytona family than the conversation she had with Brad in the car?

quote:

“Make Love, Not Wonton”

quote:

I just don’t get why the responsible commentators of all strips in this comic don’t seem to notice how the shift to adult references in a relationship—SEX—is being made with this arc. The move to the house, which was originally TJ’s in the first place, and notably TJ does not seem to mind that Toni and Brad might take it over basically evicting him, is book-ended with a continuation of Brad’s original hint of having lots of “practice” time with Toni, time which would be private. It kind of reminds me of a comment sometime ago where someone bemoaned that Luann was no longer in grade school pining over Aaron Hill. One of the great things about this strip is that, while the time moves slowly, it does, and the characters develop. Engaged people generally do a LOT of sex, married people maybe less over time, but it still amounts to a LOT, and results in little versions of them and life goes on. TJ makes that clear in his “make love not lasagna” riff.

But there are plenty of ‘platonic opportunities’, though! My fiance went in to my bedroom, just to observe whether or not I was fastidious, and soon discovered my crates of records (I kept them in my room), and knew she had to snatch me up, if she wanted to listen to The Stylistics (Lol!)

And I saw her room, as I was able to use her room to change from a suit (it was on a Sunday) to shorts and T shirt, as a group of us all were going out to eat on a hot summer day…

Sometimes, it’s just an opportunity to observe things about your potential mate, and some just have a good eye for figuring out structural dimensions, in considering the feasibility of living accomodations, and such…

And this is Long BEFORE the Fire Fighter Scam. And then there was the time that old Smiley ‘accidentally’ set fire to the DeGroot’s rental property. Did He ever offer to help pay for the damages since the fire was His Fault? NOT that I Can Recall. His Compensation for tens of thousands in damage to someone else’s property is to cook them a meal. BIG Deal.
Now, TJ expects Brad to Vacate His Parents House, so that HE can Stay and have a Bigger Kitchen? SERIOUSLY???
