By I still get a newspaper and read it every day--a ritual I just can't give up. The first thing I do is scan the headlines and then head to the comic strips. I follow Zits, Sally Forth, Hagar the Horrible, Doonesbury, Foxtrot (on Sundays), but probably my favorite strip is Luann by Greg Evans.
Luann is about a high school age girl who lives in suburbia. She crushes on boys like crazy while ignoring the geek she's destined to wind up with, Gunther. Luann has a great cast of supporting characters, including her parents and brother, Brad. We've seen Brad change the most over the years. He became a firefighter, moved out of the house, burned down his own house, moved back home, etc. Brad's had an infatuation with the beautiful Toni Daytona that always sputtered on the runway--until this week! After Brad saved her life, Toni finally woke and smelled the coffee. Brad is the love of her life.
It's like the 1970s version of General Hospital. Sniff. Forget Archie's decision between Betty and Veronica, Greg Evans pulled off this years-long story arc with great skill. Nuff said.

Actually, it was his loser "friend" TJ, who burned the rental house down.
Still, it is amazing how much Brad has changed from the lazy couch potato who did nothing but fix his clunker of a car, to a strong, smart, fearless firefighter who saves lives, including his girlfriend's. Props to you, Brad.
I'm quite sure Luann, being as immature as she is, is probably feeling pretty jealous of how her brother has accomplished more at romance than she ever has since the day she met Aaron Hill.
