Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 16, 2012
Transcript:
Rosa: "Relationships sure are hard. You and Quill made it look so easy" Luann: "Easy? I don't even know that we had a "relationship." We mostly tried NOT to have one" Rosa: "Don't you stay in touch?" Luann: "Not much. His last text was "We need to talk." I think he wants to end it" Rosa: "Oh. I'm sorry it's over" Luann: "OR it's not. Guys. They either don't do what you want, or they do what you don't want"

About now Luann could’ve quoted Brad’s advice before the firefighter dinner. “Love is hard cause it’s selfless.”

I hope it IS over, Quill was a dull character, and I don’t miss him (of course, I’m a Luann-Gunther supporter anyway)

yeah, ‘cause we didn’t use the euphemism: “relationship”.

PE in the gym, gossip in the gym. that’s multitasking of the first order! Luann needs to get off her duff (not this moment, but after school lets out) and skype the Aussie rather than chasing herself in fantasy circles over him. Rosa just needs to ease Gunther along to where she wants him to be….

“Guys either DON’T do what You want or Do what You DON’T Want?!!?”
Luann, let me TELL You the REAL DEAL about Guys: They DON’T Know what the Hell You’re Talking about!!!

They have decent gym uniforms, unlike the striped stretchy one piece monstrosities of the past.

Wow there sure seems to be a lot of folks who believe that nervous around women = gay. If that were the case I would guess only about 1-5% of men would be straight, especially in high school.

Luann,
Same thing for girls.

If they “either don’t do what you want, or they do what you don’t want”, why do you still want to be around them? Must be like listening to Howard Stern (Private Parts):.Pig Vomit: … But what about the people who hate Stern? Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day. Pig Vomit: But… if they hate him, why do they listen? Researcher: Most common answer: “I want to see what he’ll say next.”

Dang, I went back a day to make sure I didn’t miss a strip …. I didn’t. :(

Guys – such a puzzlement.

The thing NO ONE HERE has mentioned YET that caught my attention is the line,* "His last text said “We need to talk” I think he wants to end it."* What the hell kind of logic is that?!?! How can WANTING to talk logically lead to certainty that he wants to end it? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++It is the above sort of illogic that drives me crazy about communication and relationships. People (both men and women, although with my wife and I, I tend to think it is mostly my wife :) ) far too often try to read into comments what is not necessarily there. Relationships work best when people take what they say at FACE VALUE, instead of trying to figure out hidden meanings. Luann has, IMHO, dropped the ball by not calling Quill.

No way. He pined after to Luann for too many years… pretty sure that gay guys don’t break out into a cold sweat when a girl they like is around…

My daughter sends 500 texts in a week. You mean to tell me that at least a month has gone by and Luann and Quill haven’t texted once? Right………

There have been generations of women taught that it is rude to be direct and assertive. It was a real 1950s “thing.”
I’ve been married twenty years, and believe me, if I want my husband to know something, I just tell him.

The reality of not knowing something is much worse than actually finding out. She should be proactive and make herself available to talk to him. If he wants to end it, what was there really to end. As she stated, she wasn’t really sure that it even was.

Girls ain’t that hard to figure out if you just look at their faces when they’re talking and listen to what they’re saying.

It’s because women are hard to read. We don’t know if they are flirting or just being nice.

Apparently intercontinental telephone service and Skype don’t exist in Luann’s universe.

You, sir, have Issues. One of which appears to be a pathological need to stereotype people into broad-brush parodies, none of which appear to be very complimentary.

If we guys either do what you don’t want or don’t do what you do want, at least we’re consistent.-And then throw in the sarcasm in which you tell us what you want but don’t really mean it and assume we are smart enough to realize you are being sarcastic so we do what you asked and then you’re mad at us again…..-If we weren’t so inherently loveable, I don’t know why you’d even bother with us.

although its not relating to this thread, thanks to Ann Eifel, we got stung by a cashier trying to pad our restaurant bill. My wife got suspicious when the customer before us questioned her bill and found she was over charged also. Manager apologized, but is it worth it to piss off your customers for a few dollars? Life imitating art….thanks Greg.

I only WISH I’d been able to do my PE class as this kind of workout (such as I do now) instead of having no choice about softball, volleyball etc (even swimming in the middle of a school day is horrid). My last visit to HS was on 50th reunion and the running track was lovely and padded (no idea if the girls grt to use it tho’). Any non-team activity would be fine for me (never got along with most other girls).

yeah, ballet dancers do tend to be limber… btw, another good example of the age-old comics mantra of “The ugly guy gets the girl” (If only it worked that way in real life…then I’d bet all set)

Doesn’t work for YOU, guy. I’m a guy and it hasn’t been a problem for me.

Actually, there were several great French victories over the centuries, for instance like when “Norman” French became the masters over Enland, not to mention the fact that it took a European coalition to stop Napoleon from winning battle after battle; as with any Empire, the French have had their day, but, to say they never won a victory is simply inaccurate.
