That last panel reminds me of Feiffer's drawing of the Terrible Trivium from The Phantom Tollbooth.

Feminine equals weak and bad. Got it, Greg. Thanks. Explains a lot about the attitude toward Tiff and her makeup.

TJ’s marking a door, because…

A) He’s secretly the new Bat Man (he’s already wearing a utility belt) and needs a new way to keep his bat cave secret (it wasn’t hard to keep it from Brad).
B) it’s a matter of needing more pantry space, so they can keep their Spaghetti O’s separate from his precious gourmet supplies
C) He plans a way to escape, if Toni needs the rolling pin to throw at Brad (or in case he gets an idea for a new crazy scheme, and wants to “proactively be a step ahead”)
Or
D) They never had a back door….

quote:

I really am not all that knocked out about the house gag, although it will be fun to see how it turns out. What really is interesting is Brad’s description about and feelings about Toni. He describes her as a girl who has had a tough, hard life, losing her parents, and is a firefigther who could “kick TJ’s butt.” Those of us who know the strip know how Brad met Toni back with her dangerous (then) and abusive boyfriend, and her issue with her diffidant brother, and his inconsistent relationship with his daughter Shannon. Brad comes from a much more stable family. Ironically TJ shares a lot with Toni, having lost his mother, and basically his dad as well. So to me the character information and development is the real gold in this and related arcs. The rest is just background noise, sort of like how Shakespeare develops plays through the events of the main characters, as they are reflected through the subsidiary characters.

Yo Smiley. Aren’t YOU Supposed to Obtain some kinda ‘Building Permit’ thing from some Over-Paid, Arrogant, Local City Bureaucrat by Greasing His/Her palms with Large Sums of Cash AND (DEEP Breath) Humbly Asking the Property Owners Permission BEFORE Completely Destroying whats Left of THEIR House, FIRST???

quote:

Why do you assume that “most” men woukd want a “feminine, girly woman to marry”? I am unusually strong for a woman, even now in my over-weight old age. For example, my sport in my 40s was natural weight lifting and my hubby and i celebrated when my upper arms reached 15". During my 20s while on a prospecting trip with some friends the car turned out to have too lean a mix for the altitude, so for the heck of it i pushed the car uphill (a decent distance) till we coukd reach an area to work on it. There were three men in the car. The ones who knew me were not in the least surprised. The one who did not looked embarrassed when the other two told him to stay in the car, that i woukd enjoy it. During my weight training years Steve used to get a huge kick from watching the reactions of young men, especially the one who got a terrible case of hiccups. Oh, BTW, Steve marriage proposal was the 15th one i had gotten (4 of them from two men who each proposed twice, and another came from an old boyfriend after Steve and I were engaged). Steve’s was the one i accepted. I was not wealthy and not a great beauty, but my being strong never caused problems. Actually, neither did my often smelling like the 50# chimps who used to bounce on my back turning the time i was working my way through college as an adult student (after having been in retail mgmt before my mother’s final illness). So, something other that being “girly” must have been attractive about me back then. The last age at which i was “girly” (and thinly muscular rather than overtly) must have been 17).

I’m surprised that IamJayBluE didn’t treat us to his “titles” today, so I will step in:

“Any Old Portal”
“All In All, You’re Just Another Hole In The Wall” (♪♫)
“Don’t Bring Me Down — Spruce!” (♪♫)
“Beavis And Buttkick”
“The Way I Heard It…”
“Give Us This Day Our Doily, Brad!”
“Dolly…Pardon?”
“Another Opening, Another…WHOA!”

Got anything, Jay?

Nope, but I think it was a good guess anyways.

what a drag…. not giving a single darn Tiffany is (as always)

Tiffany has a reason why she is dressed this way. It probably has to do with a guy I bet, but we will see. And yes Argy it is the beginning of a new arc.

quote:

I’m beginning to think that those are her “out to the boonies” clothes. She was dressed similarly when she went with Gunther to study salamanders.

quote:

Tiffany’s dressed this way, because….

A) Any way you slice it, she had no intention of participating in the activity
B) Forgot to reschedule her 12:00 flirtation session with Chip, the school IT guy
C) Didn’t care about doing it (and you’re not gonna make her)
D) Was going to dig for compliments and weed out the competition for that other good parking space, the one for employee of the month
Or
E) Thought there would be a make-up test, today

Why are [her legs] never straight? They always look like she's seated or squatting or something, or she's a satyr. She's never just standing. I don't think he does this with the other women characters, and certainly not the men. Just Gwen.
