Heads and Tails BY JONATHAN HUGHES/THE GAMECOCK __ ____v \ \ THIS COMIC PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED FROM APRIL, 2002 Buttercup Festive! by eluott g. garbauskas WARNING 'STX/crt.'j 4-DulT-S .1 HOROSCOPES ARIES You’d rather do innovative financial planning than spend all day counting beans. Unfortunately, the latter is required first. Count those beans now. TAURUS Finish the tasks you’ve been worried about. Get them out of the way, and do a good job on them. There’s a test coming tomorrow. GEMINI Review your travel plans again. The more potential j problems you can negotiate now, the more fun you’ll have this weekend. CANCER Once you have your routine down, the job gets a lot easier. Establish your basic structure now, with input from wise friends. LEO Next week it starts getting easier for you to be in control. Meanwhile, renew old alliances, and don’t argue with the boss. VIRGO Don’t squander your money, even if you feel flush. The more you save now, the more you’ll have to spend this weekend on fun and games. LI B RA If you can stand to be frugal just a little while longer, you’ll be glad you did. If you must buy a treat for yourself or a loved one, take time to find the best deal. SCORPIO You may have to rely on a partner to get your meaning across. By now, you and this other person should be on the same wavelength. If not, make adjustments. SAGITTARIUS Play by the rules and get the job done. Oner encouragement to those who are stuck. Be patient. Victory may not come until next week. CAPRICORN Did you know that Capricorn is the sign of going from rags to riches? Hardships make you stronger, and you eventually succeed. So take heart, no matter where you are within the process. AQUARIUS You’ve made your move, you’ve taken your stand, and now you can settle down. Work out the kinks in your new routine. Make yourself comfortable. PISCES You’re pretty good at “putting up with,” but fixing the problem is better. It’s time to hit the books again. And this time, be more patient.

WEEKLY ADVICE COLUMN: WHAT’S UP Parent-boyfriend relationships Q: My girlfriend’s parents really don’t like me. They are rich and think that their daughter is throw ing her life away on someone like me. I’m going to school on schol arship and plan to be a nurse. I will be the first in my family to graduate from college. My girl friend has a totally different atti tude and loves me for who I am. My concern, though, is when she goes home for the summer, her parents’ constant “brainwashing” will drive a wedge between us. A: Parents often have a picture of whom they want their child to marry. Sometimes this choice is based on external factors such as money, culture, age, appearance or intrinsic qualities including values, beliefs and personality. Your girlfriend seems to have great faith in you, and that is what matters. Our suggestion is to have as much faith in her ability to see you for who you are, as you do in your own ability to accomplish your goals. In time, her parents may change their minds once they see that you two have a loving re lationship and are a positive in fluence on each other.
