Transcript:
Mom: "What's all THIS?"
Luann: "It's for Quill. I'm planning a super romantic New Year's Eve!"
Dad: "I think we need to monitor this"
Mom: "Her romance or her sanity?"
Dad: "Both"
You must have missed the part of this story arc where they changed their minds about not having a romantic relationship — right before Quill got the news that his family was moving back to Australia and they needed him to start packing ASAP. If you go back a couple of months, you’ll find it.
Will they be celebrating Quill’s New Year first? Will Evans be able to figure out the correct time for Luann when its midnight in Sydney?When they celebrate Luann’s New Year will Evans be able to figure out the correct time for Quill when its midnight in SanDiego?Zzzzzzzz. . . .
Last night, some of you theorised that maybe Luann had “Jumped the shark”, however, I have here proof positive that Luann didn’t and isn’t likely to for many years to come, if EVER:
time zones….she celebrates with him on 12/31 at 4am( 19 hours ahead), and he celebrates with her on 1/1 at 6pm australia time. and, how can one be super romantic via webcam on this teen-rated comic strip?
BTW, Kiama is about 60-80 miles South of Sydney. Which puts it 19 hours ahead of PST. The Aussie new year for Quill will be celebrated at 5:00 AM PST on Dec 31 in Cal. Quill would ring in Luann’s new year on Jan 1 at 7:00 PM.
Luann lost her sanity long ago, though I don’t see what’s wrong with making background decorations to celebrate the New Year’s with her boyfriend online.
I agree with dad.. Both.. Well this is the 21rst century.. I guess this beat wondering where your teen daughter is or what she is doing… Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is a disturbing WTF moment for a parent….
Last week, there was a bit of a debate over whether or not Luann was left-handed; I insisted that she was always left-handed, but, no one seemed to take my word for it… this comic shows that not only does she open her locker with her left hand, but also that she wears her watch on her right wrist. Luann IS a lefty!
“but also that she wears her watch on her right wrist.”
…
Interesting – in the third panel where Bernice and Luann are walking out of the classroom, Luann’s watch is on her left wrist and nothing is on her right. When she tells Aaron what time it is, it has moved to the right wrist. Hmmm.
…
I just figured out how it got there – in the fifth panel, Bernice says, “Right” and miraculously it appeared on Luann’s right wrist. Pretty clever, Greg…..^^As a fellow (though not as successful) cartoonist, I can tell you ,that such mistakes are common… wrong wrist, extra fingers, outfits changing mysteriously (like a tie in one pic and no tie on the next) are pretty common… anyway, Luann is and always has been a lefty

Re: comment yesterday about “jumping the shark”; Fonzie was water skiing, not riding his motorcycle when he jumped the shark. I saw it. Cool Fonz!!

Ok everyone, I can tell you where Quill is from… or rather, he can tell you himself:

I wouldn’t worry about the romance too much, Frank and Nancy; but the sanity, yes, there’s the rub.
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Frank:Sigh…get the butterfly nets, Nancy. We can save some money on the men in the white coats if she comes pre netted.
DaJellyBelly almost 12 years ago
Sheesh, you two, let the kid have her fun fantasy. This is better than her sneaking off to an unsupervised party and getting drunk or drugged up!

A-MEN, Mercedes! I guess Luann doing all this stuff while Mr. Ozball was ACTUALLY Here was just OUT of the friggin’ question?
Frank’s RIGHT: This kid NEEDS Professional HELP. STAT!!!!

milania almost 12 years ago
Twister, bizarre and very boring story line.
nanellen almost 12 years ago
Maybe Quill is going to surprise her and come back to go to college with her.

el1ra almost 12 years ago
This whole story line is getting quite old and boring. Greg needs to have Luann get laid or forget about it.
keithk501 almost 12 years ago
Romance is so much easier when your love object is far away. It’s nice and safe.
doverdan almost 12 years ago
This may be a monumental moment..Luann may clean up her bedroom !!

Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
What is the difference between “romantic” & “super romantic” ?
marvee almost 12 years ago
What’s in the bag? All I can read is silk. Is she planning to wear lingerie from Victoria’s Secret? Yes, need to monitor that.
