I wonder what Richard will think of the prying and snooping - perhaps the intrusion will make him more considerate about “researching” his housemates’ dates, or barging into their bedrooms when they’re being intimate.
Other observations- panel 7 - good thing Price didn’t see that - maybe there’s a reason or two to keep dumb Brad around.
Kyle has been hitting the gym, or Coach is training him. Kyle is a somewhat unsexual character even when he’s discussing sex with Breyer and Dennis or in bed after sex… Kyle, as recently drawn, is quickly becoming one of the BnB’s sexiest residents. Step aside Drew, Mannis, Price and Ed….
....well, aside from the ASS UP shot Brad, I got a 'lil chuckle from this particular Episode, w/ Kyle & Brad acting like they're in a scene from "Scooby-Doo"....BUT.....
....I've been noticing a bit of regression in the plotlines this Year, along with intelligence of the characters; We started the Year w/ Brad 'neglating' to Kyle (& stupidly thinking that Kyle was attracted to his Dad), then we got Steve Angel (in the Spring!), the mysterious "Fletch", Delia in the "Moo-Moo", Lance passively calming a Milk & Bread-obsessed Drew, & Sergei's tasteless "S-ex c-orps-e" comment......
....reading the strip as long as I have, I've seen the ebbs & flows of the characters, and they've FINALLY jettisoned the 90's-esque 'Party-Boys' plot twists, and settled in Mature Men, living together and looking forward to their individual futures; It's nice to see a monogamous Lance & Drew, an Elder-Gay like Rudy, a low-key, delicious Ebony Man like Darren involved w/ (a formerly 'fast') Latino Eduardo, and Kyle moving forward (from Breyer), w/ Dennis.....
...but.....something seems to be...stuck.....lately....
- ...how's the relations between Price & Brad!? - ...where's Lisa!? - ..where the HELL is Mannis ..the THREE YEAR "Man Of The Year"!? - ...why isn't Sergei dating!? - ...why isn't RUDY dating!? - ...and, my biggest nick...why isn't Ed GRADUATING from College!?
....I still love the strip (I'm here front N' center every posting), but ....WHERE'S THE BEEF!?
....at least, we can place it between Brad's BUNS..... ; ) ....CHOW.......
"....Kyle, as recently drawn, is quickly becoming one of the BnB’s sexiest residents....." ....well, I DO agree there....Kyle has been looking more 'Dude' lately, with a more wiry, hirsute build.... BUT......
...I'm still in the minority of that 'Broccoli-'Do' he's got on his HEAD! ...If he's gonna look like a Teen Tik-Tokker, he needs more ATTITUDE! ...ha-HAAA!
I have to be honest. This is pretty low and unethical of Kyle and Brad. He runs a B&B. His guests and/or tenants have a right to privacy. Maybe it's the godawful broccoli head that's warping his judgment. Get rid of that haircut, before Richard hauls Kyle's cute, little arse into court for violation of laws concerning operating a B&B. I don't care if Brad's bodacious butt is plump for picking or his bounteous bulge is briefed for buffing this episode lacks ethics.
I agree with you Wrangler, though that gay cruise ship has long since sailed. This is the most ethically-unethical cast in comix. Bad (even illegal) behavior is spicy, which is why we see it in this strip, reality shows, soap operas and films. I've met people who voted for Trump because they think he's entertaining / funny and knew little about the policies of either candidate.
I'm more surprised seeing Kyle doing the snooping - he's usually the one who admonishes others for this - but: Richard is the one who burst into Kyle's bedroom just after sex w/ Dennis (he must have been listening to get the timing right). Richard does "background checks" on everyone unbidden. He intrudes into conversations at inopportune moments, and hits on cops in the midst of investigating a dead body. Richard also was Breyer's biggest critic (after "Everhard-gate") and is also the person who tried to "drunkenly" proposition Breyer for sex - saying Kyle doesn't have to know when Breyer resisted (I might have been holding onto a few receipts). If Kyle does a bit of snooping on Richard, wrong as it is, Richard can hardly clutch his pearls and feel aggrieved. Even in fiction, continuity and sincerity matter.
"noticing a bit of regression in the plotlines this Year, along with intelligence of the characters" - Ha! You should see the WH press conferences and C-Span.
...well, on the other side O' the coin, Wrang.....Rich doesn't work, so it's assumed he's not paying rent to Kyle....So, it would be a stretch for Rich to sue, seeing that he's a glorified 'squatter'....
....which, once AGAIN, bring me to the recent plotlines....It isn't believable that Kyle would traipse into Rich's room, invading privacy.... FUNNY, yes, but seeing Kyle break free from his middling 'Housewife' demeanor COULD bring the character into a more personable trait...blame it on Dennis' BIG...ummm....'Bat'..... ; )
...BUT, the strip needs a "Melrose Place" kick in the ASS, where's Heather Locklear!? ..ha-HAAA!! ...CHOW-CHOW!
No, no, no, and once again, NO! Richard is nosy, gets into everybody else's business, and meddles where he shouldn't, but I cannot recall him rifling through another man's belongings. And that is precisely what Broccoli Head and Bodacious Buns in Briefs are doing. And it is wrong. It would be one thing if they inadvertently read an opened letter or text on an unlocked phone that Richard left in a communal room. But Broccoli Head and Bodacious Buns in Briefs have entered into Richard's private bedroom (rented or free of charge) and searched in his belongings. They've crossed a line.
What's this?! Saint Kyle actually doing something immoral? Consider my pearls clutched!
Totally out of character for Kyle to be invading Richard's privacy, but I like it... he badly needed humanizing. Kyle is like a dollar store Steve: less a real character and more a walking morality yardstick that the B&Bers are constantly being measured by. Good to see him being unambiguously naughty.
Meanwhile, as a tighty-whitie fetishist, Brad is obviously my favorite character, but I hate when he wears Y-fronts. Love briefs, but not Jockeys. They always look saggy and old-fashioned, and not even Brad's perfect body can make them sexy, although he's doing his damnedest in panel 7. I realize that CKs and 2-Xist are too upscale for him, but please keep him in Hanes or FTLs in the future!
I agree that Kyle is acting a bit out of character with his snooping, but I suspect it's because he's scared - he fears losing his dependable "always friend" Richard, who seems to have suddenly developed a life -- and secrets of his own!
Points to Brad for coming up with the semi-believable "Ants! Everywhere! Ants!" Too bad Mr. "Guilty-conscience-Kyle" didn't go with the story!
Now Richard needs to own up to his "friend" Fletcher!! Details to satisfy everyone's morbid curiosity!
How "Desperate Housewives" of Kyle! BTW, his pec shelf is making an appearance in panel 6, nicely underlining the words "Kilt" and "Shop"! Brad has well developed rhomboid muscles poking through the upper back part of his shirt in panel 7 - well above his butt!

Lucy and Ethel would have come up with a better plan than this. And Ethel wouldn't be crawling around on the floor in her bra and girdle.
