Jack and Sonny’s shared Look deserves attention, but Glenn’s absolute friendship power move here is fabulous. Imagine the pulchritude necessary to fend off all 4 mystery gals! And for someone you’ve only just met…
That would be amazing and scary. My very impossible theory is that Linton is dating Mildred, but he wants to wait before tell it to the other and she’s having fun teasing him.
The Mystery teens still have their explosive chemistry and Glenn has been accepted in the mix. There’s something weird in the way Jack and Sonny are watching each other.. They knows?
YES!!! Glenn’s made his 4th friend out of this bunch (after Lottie, Claire, and Mildred, of course). I’ll bet he’s secretly relieved to have an excuse to get out of a socially awkward situation. Well, done, Glenn!
Linton won’t affirm or deny her existence? Or maybe he cannot affirm or deny her existence due to quantum fluctuations induced by his manifest Kirby Krackle! A case of Schrödinger’s girlfriend that could be (re)solved if the Mystery Girls are allowed to pry that box open.
It’s kind of shame, Linton always seemed like the designated “loser in love” of the mystery teens and I bet there’s some juicy stories there. But still, good on Glenn for putting the kibosh on the whole thing
“Daddy Glenn” has a very unsettling ring to it
PAPAGLÜN
No sign of him obtaining any snooker balls in a sock, though.
“Oh, Daddy Glenn”
sung to the Boney M CLASSIC
“No Kirby Krackle indoors, son – you’re barred!”
Who knew Linton had The Power Cosmic?
This is the Power Comics. Almost the same thing, but less trademarked
The Power Cosmetic.
It projects an energy field around the user that blows an offending mob away – while putting radiant smiles on all their faces.
Flagrant disregard for basic finger pointing safety in panel 5. NEVER point your finger at anything you aren’t willing to j’accuse!

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Sufficient pulchritude would probably fend them off
It’s the pulchritude that needs to be fended-off!
I’m prepared to defend the use of “pulchritude” on the strength of Glenn’s enviable mane alone.
Dang, are Jack and Sonny a Thing?
I think they know what Linton’s dating status is. And possibly that it involves Blossom?
Either that, or they are familiar enough with this turn of the conversation to know how the next five minutes are going to go.
That would be amazing and scary. My very impossible theory is that Linton is dating Mildred, but he wants to wait before tell it to the other and she’s having fun teasing him.
I wonder if there’s a love triangle involving them both, but not with each other.
“them both” meaning Linton and Blossom, of course, not Sonny and Jack.
I feel like that would be some very lazy, unimaginative writing
OMG IT’S TRUE
How come Linton never used his inherent gift of anger shockwave in Bad Machinery
I hope someone got fired for THAT blunder
It’s a new class ability.
Indeed, much the same way Lottie didn’t get her “Digital Perm” powers until her 20s.
They’ve all leveled up since their Mystery Kid days. It makes sense that they’d all have new special abilities.
Lottie still 19 until July.
Look at her, opening her presents early
I swear that had an “‘s” when I wrote it. I guess it got sacrificed to autocorrupt.

It’s that “uh-oh” look when the conversation is taking a wrong turn.
And they will be the next… Maybe they can still run away.
Seems the finger pointing has evolved from
J'accuse!toElle existe!…More like Alex East! (I’d swear there was a Lottie “Jack Hughes” predating this Shauna one, but I can’t find it)
Way to go Glenn, you’re truly one of them now.
I’m just shocked that at least five people all got his name right in the SAME PANEL! 😀
(And context indicates that Lottie and Claire were among them… I can’t imagine Sonny and Jack [or random pub patrons] chiming in on that Booo…)
The average of the 4 was “Glenn”, not necessarily each individually.
YES!!! Glenn’s made his 4th friend out of this bunch (after Lottie, Claire, and Mildred, of course). I’ll bet he’s secretly relieved to have an excuse to get out of a socially awkward situation. Well, done, Glenn!
And Glam has made a friend. Good for them both.
Also, Linton had to summon Kirby Krackle to break free!
I see we have a larval gossip of grandmas in the making. Just imagine the Mystery Girls in 50 years! Oh their poor little sprogs.
Murder She Wrote starring the Golden Girls
… and Shelley, same as she ever was.
It’s the pact she made with Tibkins.
Linton won’t affirm or deny her existence? Or maybe he cannot affirm or deny her existence due to quantum fluctuations induced by his manifest Kirby Krackle! A case of Schrödinger’s girlfriend that could be (re)solved if the Mystery Girls are allowed to pry that box open.

Linton age 15: Depressed because no girlfriend
Linton age 22: Depressed because girlfriend?
Oh. Oh God. I think I just figured something out.
While I feel for Linton, i can’t help but love all the Mystery Girls being so delightfully catty and horrible in this strip.
Ygln showing that The Bro Code exists even in the Antipodes! Rightside up!
I for one welcome the new Linton-Glenn alliance
If Daddy Glurmn learns Linton’s secret, will he be able to keep it from Lottie, Claire et al?
I fear he is the weak link
I don’t know. Think about how long he didn’t tell them about Cathey. I think not telling people things is something Glenn’s really, really good at.
Although, come to think of it, Mildred seems to be able to get things out of him better than Lottie or Claire can.
Claire can get anything she wants out of Glom, might take a little time but Claire plays the long game.
Well, if Linton’s looking for someone to date, it looks like Lottie’s on the table.
Only for one panel, though. I think Linton’s missed his chance.
I still hope for him and Mildred to become a couple, because their chemistry in Wen-Tack was very good.
Linton won’t tell anyone when he has a girlfriend. But there will be signs.
Linton enters room wearing giant David Byrne suit
Nothing is better than that.
