Luann RESET BUTTON ALERT
O fan
Uh-oh. Reset button pending. TJ's about to burn down that nice
little house that Brad lives in. What do you want to bet that:
1. The House burns down and Brad has to move home
2. Toni is killed putting out the fire
3. Brad is so depressed, he quits the fire Department, moves back
into the parent's basement, and goes back to the hot dog stand.
Oh... wait. This isn't Funky. It probably won't be that much of a
downer.
(And speaking of Funky, we STILL haven't learned Wally's fate.)

He eventually became the Flash, after the death of Barry Allen.

Have I missed the canonization of a group in-joke around here?
Around 2001/02 I suppose that I expected, as much as anyone in the
group here did, that Brad the Firefighter would soon putter out and
the strip would find a 'reset button' back to its old state, but the
various big changes -- Aaron Hill being exiled from the strip, Brad
getting a life, mostly -- have got so well-established that trying to
undo them would be awfully confusing.
>(And speaking of Funky, we STILL haven't learned Wally's fate.)
Funky was keeping Wally chained in the cellar, stuffing him
full of wheats and hops, so that every now and then a chunk of flesh
could be sliced off Wally's body and fed into the 'special' pepperoni
mixture. But now Wally's body has deteriorated so badly that what's
left is horrid-tasting and preemptively rancid, resulting in the
notorious 'loss of quality' that got mentioned when that magazine
cover established indisputibly that New Funky deserved to be slapped
every time he said or did something or thought about it.

4. TJ gets dumped to the curb and Brad moves in with Toni....her niece
being a more than adequate form of birth control.

I think this (17 June strip) is the first time we've seen TJ with
his eyes open. He has actually Lost His Cool. About damn time.
It does look like this may well portend a significant change
in the strip's trajectory. I hope so.

a range hood? The slumlords who own this place (and we all
know who they are) are in for a stiff fine from the Fire
Marshall.

That's what I've got. It's called "grandfathered". Besides,
you're supposed to pay attention while you're cooking.

5. Brad's parents force him to throw TJ out. Fortunately for him,
Toni has a spare room.

Smoke alarm, hell. There's no way somenoe could be that close to food
burning that energetically and not have smelled smoke LONG before the
flames got that high

Anything that gets rid of Eddie Haskell, er, TJ, can't be all bad.
It is given there will be no shack-up between Brad and Toni- this IS
Luann, after all. But maybe this will be the excuse for Ma 'n' Pa
DeGroot to ban TJ from their universe. If the house is seriously
damaged, Brad may move home- hell, he seems to hang out and eat there a
whole lot anyway.

Spoken like a man without allergies. Of course, with flames that high,
the radiated heat and dancing light should have been a clue. Has anyone
seen tomorrow's strip? So far, it just looks like a pan fire, which any
experienced cook (which TJ supposedly is) keeps a big lid handy for.

IME, smoke alarms aren't there to warn about potential trouble. They are
there to let you know that trouble has invaded and some very short order
decisions about whether to fight or flee are in order.
From the strip, it looks like grease/oil in a pan caught fire. Those
things will take you from hero to zero in no time at all.
While I don't like TJ and would have gladly watched him get bounced for
his past behavior, this problem doesn't really look to be the result of
typical-TJ-gross-neglect. More like bad luck.

Brad's a firefighter, and there isn't (I'm betting--I could still be
proven wrong) a fire extinguisher handy?
I was a volunteer firefighter for only a short while, and I've lost
count of how many fire extinguishers I have in my apartment and
car........... Okay, small halogen at the computer desk, two Keddie
dry-chems in the kitchen doorways, another in the hall near the door/
bedroom, and a big CO2 one in the car. Oh, and a medium dry-chem
awaiting servicing after knocking down a car fire before the fire
department around the corner got there. (No, not my car.)

The thing I noticed was that I think it's the first time I've seen TJ
without that constant idiotic smile.

Yep, my kid's a paramedic based with a fire company and not long after
he got that job, his mother and I got extinguishers for Christmas.
