Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 21, 2012
Transcript:
Luann: "What are you saying, Quill? And why are you at your piano?" Quill: "I wrote a song. Lyrics, too- Which you do WAY better. But just listen, ok?" Luann: "Ok" Quill: "We were together but we stayed apart protecting our feelings, hiding our hearts" Quill: "A yank and an Aussie, mature to the end, playing it safe, parting as friends" Luann: "Ok, you have plural words rhyming with singul-" Quill: "SHH!"

It’’s the nerd in her. She can’t help it. I correct everyone’s spelling when I get emails. I can txt shorthand txt, but an email gives you time to spell whole words. She’s just a nerd at heart.

Give Quill a chance to finish, Luann. It’s good to show interest, but a severe critique does not help your putative cause here!

The Luann of the early strips couldn’t even have pronounced “plural words rhyming with singular…” never mind use them properly in a sentence… our little Luann is truly growing up!

Luann is suffering from the greatest compulsion that ever was. It sounds like Quill is not happy with the status quo and wants to ramp things up – otherwise he’d be happy to stay in the friend zone. I’ll be very interested to see where this goes.

Well, on the bright side, Leviticus’s ancient wish may be fulfilled soon. Delta and Bernice are exactly who she’d tell first about being serenaded.

Why doesn’t Quill cut to the chase? Send her a jar of Vegemite. If she can tolerate it, they might have a future together. If not, it wasn’t meant to be.

He says “Shh” because there is a third verse coming. Maybe:#Dad’s going back to the Statesand taking me withIt’s missing you I hateSo Australia I’ll quit.#If you listen to song lyrics, you might find that most lines end not with a rhyme but with assonance (repetition of a vowel sound).
#Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!!!

Michyle, so right! You can play, fight, confide, dance, joke with a friend. So “no romance until we’re friends”

Gag. This makes the lyrics to “I’m a Snot” seem like “Stardust.”

Come one! LuAnn is a sexy lady. Don’t let Brad be the only one that gets the sweet stuff.

I like the way Luann analyzed the lyrics for compatibility and correctness.

“Long posts are over- I think I’m outta here…”-As Lynn Anderson and others sang:“Promises promises that’s all I getAll you gave me since the day we met you’ll break my heart in two again I betPromises promises that’s all I ever get that’s all I ever get”

“Luann is doing what some people do here. Compulsively correct others while ignoring what they have said, and ignore the comic. They are rude creatures.”-The two have made beautiful music together in the past. Helping each other perfect the lyrics is part of the process. She has fallen back in that mode. This is not rude. -Further, it is not rude for friends to tell friends when they are doing wrongly. it’s a sharing thing, only sharers understand.-Nor is it limited to friends. In discussion groups, many things are discussed, not just whether or not Bernice will be Brought Back. -Consider our mutual friend, Trout. She’s frequently working on perfecting near-perfect Agnes.

Your wife must be quite the pretty lady then; as for posting the pic here, can’t hurt to ask her… unless she’s one of those girls that love to hurl plates at her man’s head ;)
pseudomao about 12 years ago
Nah – I disagree on the Gunther/Luann attraction. Gunther has (and always will) have some affection for Luann.Luann, however, considers Gunther a good friend and would not appreciate it if he made a move on her.I think Luann really does like Quill, but is somewhat paralyzed by fear of making a fool of herself if her affection is not reciprocated; thus plays it cool.

Luann needs a filter between her brain and her mouth.

Trying to rhyme a singular word with a plural word has always been one of my pet peeves.
