Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 28, 2013

They’ve done well.

As to Tiffany suggesting that Luann behave like that, as they say:“It takes one to know one.”

Ooops. Loud denial. Must be true.

Besides, it’s too hard to type in the chat rooms with just one hand…

Basic tom hopkins sales training, If you say it, they doubt it. If they say it, it’s true.

They lucked out.

I don’t think we know exactly where Luann is at yet. What things did Tiffany suggest?

Nice little plot development, Karen. You’ll be an asset to Dad – and thanks for the blog contribution, too.

Good for Luann! Good for Frank and Nancy! We have all been spared a difficult encounter through Tiffany’s malicious jealousy: as good an example of the Law of Unintended Consequences as we could ask.

It’s not ‘taking credit;’ rather an exhultation by Frank and Nancy of self—deprecating humor, spiced with a dash of sarcastism.

Luann’s a good kid. She’s thoroughly smitten with Quill, but I think her protestations are legitimate… She’s not into anything her folks need to worry about. But they’re her folks, so they worry… And because they are just a bit out of touch, they concoct these rather transparent harebrained schemes, which, thanks to Tiffany, they don’t have to employ.

They should call Tiffany and thank her.

I think Tiff suggested Luann was ‘flirting’ on line. Does that mean the same as sexting these days?

…of mice and men

Yep, awesome parenting.

Just keep the lines of communication open and all will be revealed. Excellent planning, Frank.Whataguy!

A modern teenage girl, as written by a smug, out-of-touch adult man. Ugh. Such stilted, corny dialogue.

After all, in this comic strip, Luann’s brother can have sex with his girlfriend, but she is forever kept virginal. It’s the perfect double standard.

Okay, great job DeGroot parents. Now what are you going to do to help prevent Tiffiany from inevitably starting a rumor around school?

Dad is right, they are awesome parents. Just judging by the fact that their daughter does not do those things on the internet means she was brought up well.

@c001: Just the right one.

That went well indeed. Thanks, Tiffany!

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” — Mark Twain

that is the best possible way this could have turned out for them

Luann, Luann….don’t stretch the facts! Tiff said you were engaged in ‘Sick Flirting’. Whether it’s sick or not depends on who you ask, and the flirting part, why are you denying it? He’s your Boyfriend for goshsakes! Tiff was warning you about flirting escalating into something dangerous, she didn’t actually accuse you of it. Oh well, guess you are just venting…

she’s such a good girl :)

Being a parent is like being an astronomer:

You see and prepare for a comet, hoping to divert it, then get struck by some space debris coming in from left space.*Looks like everyone survived!

Timing is everything!

I always thought Luann would be a great sitcom!

So they’d rather have Luann do it in person with Quim?

“There are actually two times Dad took Luann to his job at the CIA agency disguised as an import/export business. The first arc starts on 04-26-93 and the 2nd is a year later, 04-25-94”

Thanks, Lev! Those are good arcs to mark since they actually contain important character information. :-) I’m really impressed how you dredge stuff up out of the archive. I missed =both= of these arcs—must have skipped a couple years.

Luann is a good girl huh not doing those awful things Tiffany accused her of?!!!

Does Luann bop?

Has anyone realized how much Frank looks like Knute in the last frame?

Could Knute be Frank’s love child?

Stay tuned…
