Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 26, 2013
Transcript:
Captain: "Quite and operation. How many baskets are you making?" Delta: "200. I got donations from local businesses" Bernice: "Hm. This package says 72 candies. That's enough for six in each basket but I'm two short..." Bernice: "Knute! Stop eating the donations!" Knute: "I'm quality-checking the peeps!"

Peeps perks!

Greg was lazy today – not very funny and not going anywhere.

Heh. I always did that whenever my church would go picking strawberries on the church farm (hey, somebody has to make sure that they’re exactly the right degree of ripeness!). ;-)

Try putting the Peep in a microwave!

BLOOPER ALERT!
Yesterday Delta addressed him as captain. However, both yesterday and today his collar insignia is a single bar (which is for lieutenant).
The insignia for the rank of captain is a double bar (the slang term in the military is railroad tracks).

Typical-everyone else does the work while she stands around and takes the credit.

Many seniors can’t eat candy or chocolate.
Angelalex242 over 11 years ago
with the fire captain there, though…one wonders where Toni and Brad are. One also wonders where Crystal is, since Knute is there.
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Yep. Now we’ve seen pretty much the whole regular teen cast, except for Crystal. But I’m pretty sure Knute wouldn’t be there if Crystal weren’t also around.On another score, Delta’s goal of 200 baskets is somewhat less than the 240 I estimated yesterday, but leaves an uncomfortable asymmetry of baskets with four eggs and baskets with five eggs (any wider divergence being, I believe, out of the question). —Unless, of course, we allow for “stock shrinkage” of eggs, with Knute and maybe even Oxford (he’s a growing boy and might get hungry!) gobbling up some few and others being defective (cracked)….

HELP! Can anyone point me to the video where the guy is stamping parking tickets and the chorus is “Smile, Smile, Smile”. That was really uplifting, I need an uplift today. 8(

I agree with Oldcomicsfan. They should use something other than candy in the baskets.
Mordock999 over 11 years ago
Ahhhhhh Yes.
Easter Baskets! Always bought a JOY to My eye when I was but a wee lad.
(SIGH)
EXCUSE, Me. I got somethin’ in My eye……,

Ox is STILL carrying boxes? Doesn’t Delta (or Evans?) trust him with the more delicate task of filling baskets? Descrimination, lol!

peeps are so good.

Looks to me like the captain is impressed with Delta. Is it possible for Delta to have some like her or just maybe she be interested in someone at all? Hmm!! Just a thought. Oh no, not Delta not possible. Hmm!!
Guilty Bystander over 11 years ago
It’s just Knute being Knute. I noticed Delta standing around talking while the others are working, too. She really DOES have a future in politics.

Then send Mr. “Quality Checker” out to replace the ones he ate out of his own pocket.
topbunk over 11 years ago
Is using quality and Peeps in the same sentence an oxymoron?

That is too cute, love it!

“But I’m pretty sure Knute wouldn’t be there if Crystal weren’t also around.”.She’s probably helping “Sheraton St. Louis” aka Tiffany, with the skid loader to bring her cosmetics in for the TV cameras coverage.

Oh, Donny, don’t go! You’re a pleasure to have around— sometimes you have insightful ideas.
Rosedragon over 11 years ago
Sorry, shouldn’t be giving candies to old people who are most likely on a strict diet. More like fun things, thoughtful things… note paper, deck of cards, small puzzle, book (can be a reused book) …

Knute and Krystal are gonna get married and make a LOT of kids. Tiff is gonna be a professional pole dancer. Delta is gonna be a senator , raise taxes, cut the military, and wonder where the Apollo 11 astronauts put the flag on Mars. Luann? Luann is gonna be an old Cat Lady. And Gunther is going to be a Franciscan Monk, later Cardinal of his Diocese. EOF

Good act Knute, it worked for Daffy Duck when he “checked” Elmer Fudd’s food for poison!

I’m a little disturbed by all the “can’t give candy to old people” folks on here. They’re old not dead and they are not two year olds they still have the ability to choose if they will eat candy or not. Even if they have diabetes they are in control of their own disease and it is not for you to declare what they can and can’t eat.
rkozakand over 11 years ago
peeps do not need to be quality checked. They are always inedible.however it is fun to light them on fire, dissolve them in alcohol or attach them to bottle rockets.I do not know anyone who actually eats them tho.

The elderly folks will grin and say “Thanks for the Basket adn here is $17 Trillion in Federal Debt that your generation can never hope to pay off.” Say hello to your soon to be Chinese overlords for me.

An unwrapped peep in a basket has a very short life before it turns to stone.

I can’t believe my drawing was pulled again, it was just a pic of Delta, carrying a tray of “Easter eggs”, decorated to look like her friends GEEEZZZ

I learned about the “nibble factor” in Cost Accounting class. They told a story about a candy manufacturer who hired an investigator to work on the assembly line to find out who was stealing the expensive ingredients because the discrepancy between input and output was so big. Investigator didn’t notice anybody smuggling out ingredients, but then realized she and everyone else on the assembly line were gaining weight because they were nibbling so much. Delta needs to factor nibbling into the candy purchases.

Is ox just there to carry heavy boxes around?

No bourbon, then?

You’re replying to Dave53’s comment:
maybe they thought it violated copyright laws^^It’s fan art, which doesn’t violate them; and Greg himself has posted some of them on his Facebook page; if HE thinks it’s ok……
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Please try for a third. I haven’t seen it. Might be Gregg having sway. The other comics people don’t seem to have a problem with fan drawings.^^I’m pretty sure the problem isn’t with Greg, I think it’s the mod for this page. Greg and Karen have posted several of my drawings on their FB page; so, I think I have their approval (Which I consider a HUGE honour!).
