    OMG! How DARE Greg and Karen do this! They haven’t fleshed out multiple mundane details about the backstory here before hand! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

    Plus the so called ‘twins’ are not drawn at the exactly same height so the drawing is lazy too.

    Tomorrow I’ll complain about the story not moving along fast enough either.

    Didn’t someone suggest babysitting? I’m sure someone did. They just won the internet today!

    If he expects Bernice to babysit his sibs that’s a lot of darn gall. If he’s rescuing them his mother and is waiting for Child Protective Services to pick them up…. that would be the responsible thing to do.

    Sadly, since passive-aggression is the norm for this strip I’m betting on babysitting with Bernice not refusing his unreasonable request.

    Questions? Well, yeah! Are these youngsters all Piro’s siblings? Or are some of them more distant family members? Are all of them under his care, because no one else is able or willing to care for them? And are they all standing there with him because they have all just become homeless and in need of shelter? Are these what have preoccupied Piro for all the time he’s been out of touch recently? Is Piro standing there with them to ask Bernice if she can do anything or recommend anything to help? Where is cousin Tara? Is there any help possible from her side of the family? Is Bernice about to be faced with the need to point out that she herself is living as more or less a dependent on a family not her own, and that she doesn’t have resources of her own with which to help a situation like Piro’s? These nine or ten questions ought to cover the territory as a start. There may be more once they are answered.

    Ah Saturday misdirection all the better to spend the weekend not thinking about all the bad news (pick your poison, but pray and/or beat wishes to our fellow citizens out in LA. This is the great LA fire, but I worry about worse ones in the future) and wonder where this plot twist is going. I think a reasonable connection can be made with Bern’s personal situation, where her brother has his kids by his Filipino wife, who is home in Phillipines taking care of her ailing father, while the kids are at Bern’s. Why isn’t she being shown with her nieces or nephews by the way? But Piro has exponentially a more serious situation than ,Bern does, and who is that that older kid? Oh let the speculation begin.

    Piro knows that Bernice is only staying with the DeGroots and has no home at this time. He certainly would not expect any housing help from Bernice. He should show up at Tara’s place. she is actually related to Piro.

    There are no questions because the situation is clear, but still Bernice is trying too hard to looks calm. Luann’s involvement seems inevitable, for now I’m really happy to see how respectful she is by giving to Piro and Bernice space. She was right, this is not a competition, but a rescue to a friend in need.

    I had this happen in real life. I answered a knock on my door on a Saturday, there stood my son, his wife, two kids, and she is obviously pregnant. My son said, “Dad, we lost our jobs, our house and we go no where else to go.” “Come in, we’ll find a way to make it work.” I put the two kids in my bedroom, I move to the back bedroom, moved the tables and chairs out of the dining room and put a rented queen size bed in there.

    A week later the landlord showed up asking, “Bruce, I’m hearing somethings about additional people?” “Come in, let me introduce you to my son and his family.” After he had looked at the place we went out on the front porch to talk. He told me, “You should have asked first.” I said, “Yes I know, and I’m sorry I didn’t, but they showed up with no notice saying they had no where else to go. What would you have done?”

    Sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

    Why are Bernice and Luann are so enraptured by Piro? The guy has, to use an overworked phrase, more issues than Time Magazine. He is seriously broken. I kind of get Bernice’s perspective – she wants to FIX him. But she needs to keep in mind that she is not a therapist yet. And she also has more than a few issues. As to Luann, she’s even less qualified than Bern. And why, in the name of all that is holy, would anyone their age want to tie themselves to a guy who is obviously going to be nothing but trouble? I’ve had a few “Piros” in my life, and I can verify that they offer nothing, and take everything – your compassion, your love, your desire to help, your self-esteem, and sometimes even your money – until you have nothing left to give. Then they go looking for someone else to drain. They’re emotional vampires.

    cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy with a twinge of giddiness

    Someone said Bernice is much more mature than Luann. I suspect that we’ll find out Luann has the edge on Bernice here. She already told Bern it isn’t a competition and left her to be “alone” with Piro. When Luann sees the kids and the situation, she ‘ll step in, like a responsible adult, to handle the kids while Piro and Bern discuss his situation. And I’m thinking that the kids might open up enough to Luann to clue her in on what’s happening.
