- Cloud: Yeah.
- Sandra and Cloud: Stop thinking about them!

The thing is, once you go there, you can’t go back. And just knowing the feelings are mutual is enough to cross the line.
The problem is, this rapidly becomes recursive.
First it’s dirty thoughts.
Then it’s thoughts about their dirty thoughts.
Then it’s thinking about their thoughts about your dirty thoughts.
And the list goes on…
While you’re at it, don’t think about an elephant.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly saw panel 4 and instead thought a year ahead of time where “Stop thinking about them!” is “I know what you did last summer!”. Extra points for Larisa rubbing it in.
Another great update. The theme may be naughty, but it’s an undeniable cuteness there.
You know, these two have a great, long and happy future together.
Oh, dear. Talk, you two. Learn to deal with reality.
Only truth will make you free.
puberty in a nutshell
Ah, yes, Die Gedanken sind frei as the German poem goes.
“Thoughts are free/ Who can guess them/ They slip past us/ Like shadows in the night/ No man can know them/ No hunter can shoot them down/ At the end of the day/ Thoughts are free.”
Except that Cloud can guess them, and Larisa can shoot them down, and now that the light has dawned, both Sandra and Cloud can see those shadows clearly enough to be jumping at them. Let the accusations fly!
– Stop thinking that my naughty thoughts must be worse than your naughty thoughts!
– Stop thinking that my naughty thoughts involve nudity!
– Oh, so it’s costumes is it?!
@ Aquatus1: You ass! >.<
Aaaand enter TrollThuza!
Now THAT’S funny! XD And now that I think about it, did they just pick up the phone and the book off the ground? Because I doubt they were hiding them in their clothes.

@ Greenwood Goat:
Lol that last part made me laugh. I would SO see that as being the next comic! XD
The kids are going to have to talk about this at some point and soon.
The more they try to NOT thing about what the other is thinking the more they’re going to think about what the other is thinking and that’s going to drive them both crazy.
Hopefully they can sit down, talk as best they can about what they think about the other and both come to realize they’re just not ready for those thougths to become reality yet.
I think it would help the most if Cloud and Sandra give each other ‘premission’ to think about the other in ‘naughty’ ways. That way it’s not so taboo and they’ll realize it’s really a compliment that they trust each other so much that’s the only person they can see doing ‘that’ with.
It might not make the issue go away–esp with puberty knocking on both their doors–but it might make it easier in some cases and that’s a step in the right direction.
In a relationship, the best way to not think or forget something like this IS talking about it……and making joke, stupid joke, and jeep going until BOTH of them will get sick and just stop thinking about it…cuz it will be like “ok…..that is it…it’s getting old and not funny or awkward anymore”
and also…what is the worse thing now….Larissa posted something like this at her Facebook acc or something like that….naaaaah….she’s not someone who would do something like that…
……
……..

hmmmmmm……
@ Landbark:
you sir earned a medal
XD nicely played. i love ozy and millie
True, but then…they are children.
And children, well, the best way to forget about something is to pretend it didn’t happen (works when you’re a kid, but not so much when you grow up).
Least their not, “Thinking out loud”.

Except, biologically, human teenagers haven’t stopped developing yet, so they can’t really be called adults. I think we’re like the only mammal that goes through the phase, though, or something along those lines?
“Do not think of a monkey.”
-Zen koan
thus they enter the age where their thoughts become insanely narrow minded and focused on a few simple things…
Too cute. ^^
Ahh…not quite. Being that he is a human (not sure why that’s a factor), biologically, he is just starting his sexual maturity.
Sort of. All mammals have a period of adolescence, however it is usually radically shorter than humans, sometimes measured in weeks. Not as bad as it used to be. There are records from church choirs from the 1700’s noting the boys whose voices started changing…at age 18.
As for Cloud, his body’s reactions are not necessarily due to sexual excitement. The body is essentially re-creating itself at the chemical level, and that crazy mix-up of hormones will, on occasion, trigger reactions randomly. I mean, here, sure, girlfriend in bikini, yeah, but I think all of us remember those horrifying times when, out of nowhere, without the slightest suggestion of anything even remotely sexual, our little guys decided to stand up and look around (usually right before you were asked to stand up and answer a question in class).
The only appropriate response: “Never!”
Ahh, young love. ^_^
Don’t think of pink giraffes.
Like trying to not think about a purple elephant. A SEXY purple elephant.
Ohhhh come one you two, it should be LESS awkward now that you both know you both do it. These thoughts are perfectly natural and you shouldn’t be afraid to share/explore them with each other.
Just don’t let Larisa interfere in any way whatsoever.
So when do we get to see Cloud’s single hair rise up a la Alfalfa in Our Gang
…to be followed by ‘GET OUT OF MY HEAD!’ *BAM*BAM*BAM. *Glances over ‘ARRRGGHH!!!’ *BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM
@ Korikitsune0:
That might take some doing. Look what they had to do to stop her messing with their first kiss! And that was just a kiss . . .
@ Captail Tailstorm:
Don’t think about a donkey.
Daaaaaawwwwwwwww!
Lust or real love?
Reminds me of my youth. I’m around Cloud’s age when I start thinking about…. stuff. It was the years of training to self control myself.
MroOOowlll.
Ha! Kids, so concerned and embarrassed about such things, eh? At least they don’t find each other repulsive!
@ Landbark:
HA-HAAAAA!!! Classic!
@ illeatyourself:
In the first panel, there’s clearly a bag next to each of them.
You just lost the Game.
Whatever you do, don’t think dirty thoughts about their dirty thoughts.
And goodbye to colored strips!
For everyone complaining about black and white strips…I have not seen a black and white strip since the early days. Every strip I see every week is colored.
@ Aquatus1:
The next strip will be the last colored strip. It said so in the news some time ago.
As for the subject matter, if they think it’s hard to dismiss those murmuring feelings now, just wait until they kiss the next time…
potato is the only thing i think about when i hear the word random, is this a link to the reason why? A chain in the evolution of random to potato?? An EXPLANATION!?!?!? nah, its just Larisa’s doing
after the loss of innocence, nothing is ever the same.
@ LittleDog:
And I was getting used to the colored comics; I knew this was too good to last…
So they’ve reached a new milestone in their relationship. They shared another tender moment, depending on how you define tender 🙂
Awkwardness inside, awkwardness outside.
I’m not gonna be comfortable until this arc is over.
