I called it, as a joke, to say his storytelling is lovely and repetitive. But here we all are anyway.

And I agree that the idea is probably "he likes fashion and hairdressing, so he's MEGA gay," but keep in mind that Brooke has (more than once, iirc) written an explicitly gay-not-bi male character in a sexual relationship with a woman, so nothing's off the table yet in the terrible world of 9CL.

Judging from the expressions in the second panel, each harpy was planing to swallow her hapless victim whole. They now grudgingly realize only through rock-paper-scissors will they determine who eats tonight and who goes hungry.

Alternate reading of Luann where Tiff is actually deeply insecure, and tries to project a cliche alpha bitch image in an effort to fake it until she makes it.

Although pretty much all of Luann is better if you read it in any way but the way Greg intended.

And it makes more sense that way anyway. It often requires knowing years of backstory to understand how you're supposed to read it.
