Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 16, 2013
Transcript:
Mom: "Oh, honey! I'm so sorry you didn't get accepted into drama camp!" Luann: "I just assumed Quill and I would get in. Now he's coming all this way..." Mom: "You can still see him! Pick him up at the airport, have him over for dinner..." Luann: "It's not the same! We'd planned a bunch of romantic scenes together!" Mom: "You already picked parts in a play?" Luann: "Play?"

Heart drops⊠I feel bad for her!

Was really hoping it was just that she noticed tiffâs name on the ârosterâ or something. Unfortunate.

On second thought, forget about getting to see him.

High school drama camp? Donât they accept anyone whose check doesnât bounce?
bscan48 almost 12 years ago
I think weâll find out that Tiffany had something to do with it
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
LuannâŠ. brought to you by⊠Trust⊠as in I hope there will be enough to go around for her when it comes to Quill, provided that he is getting inâŠ. and by⊠Fishy⊠as in something seems kinda fishy about her âletterâ⊠perhapsâŠ.
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
J00 Fail, Luann.
Of course, Quill is there for her, not camp, so he could âcall in sickâ or something, get the money refunded, and just hang out with her.
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
Or I should say provided that he still goes there upon his arrivalâŠ. Wonder if Luann will insist that he still go?
SoCalCloud9Man almost 12 years ago
I agree that something is amiss with Luannâs rejection. Especially since Tiffany DID say she had an actual plan to lure Quill to her and have him at some place where even Luann wonât find him. Remember this?:

I saw that tear on Luannsâ cheek and it broke my heart as well.HoweverâŠwith that last panel I think Moms âVirgin Alarmâ might have gone off (before Luann does) with a wink ;) to âSPACEBALLSâ.
nmkitkat almost 12 years ago
Augh! I had to come out of the world of non-commenters just to say NOOOOOO!!!!! Why canât Luann it just work out for Luann this summer???? Let the girl have a summer romance! Even the teens with angst deserve a sweet summer romance once in their lives!
The Old Wolf almost 12 years ago
Quill and Tiffany, together at drama camp. Luann on the outside. Yup, thereâs going to be a lot of drama all right, and thatâs what the strip is about. Iâll be very interested to see how this all âplaysâ out.
gkid almost 12 years ago
Ohhhh. No. I am soooo disappointed. Quill with Tiff? Allsummer? I cannot watch.I will leave now. Can someone drop a line to Stone Soupwhen this is over? Thank you. Sniff.
wiselad almost 12 years ago
money talks it seems, there is no way a legit drama academy would choose Tiff over Luann
dr_dolittle_rwc almost 12 years ago
DRAMA!!!
DaJellyBelly almost 12 years ago
Luann, take momâs advice. Go get Quill at the airport. Bring him to your house for a nice home cooked meal.
Nancy, call that camp and ask WHY your daughter was not accepted!
Maybe someone at the camp is friends with Tiffany or her family?
DaJellyBelly almost 12 years ago
PS: Bradâs room is empty. Maybe Quill could stay a few extra days after camp is finished?
kenhense almost 12 years ago
Iâm on board with the theory that Tiffâs âplanâ had something to do with Luann getting rejected.

Sisyphos almost 12 years ago
How disappointing, for Luann, for Quill, for us. This cannot be right, or at least cannot be allowed to stand all summer as the status quo.
Feye almost 12 years ago
The arrow was pointing down. Symbolism from a textbook; She was turned down.
TOLD YA SO !

Itâs only a comic strip with someone writing the plotâŠ
Gerry Lee almost 12 years ago
Since Quill only planned on coming to the USA for Luann, itâs not likely that heâll go to the drama camp unless they find a way to get Luann in there somehow. Itâs a pity, but thereâs no love triangle involving them and Tiff, Quill inexplicably isnât interested in Tiffany at all⊠I suspect Quill will call off the drama camp and this story line will close down. Poor Tiffany, but I have to admire her determination to be with the man sheâs in love with. Would Luann have put up such a fight if Quill hadnât been interested at first? Pity Quill canât see Tiffâs good qualities, but only her flawsâŠ.
ReneTray almost 12 years ago
For the mother.
Oh OH.
Caldonia almost 12 years ago
Okay, see, a camp is a place where you learn a particular skill. Acting or sports or whatever. So this whole storyline where a kid gets rejected by a camp makes NO SENSE.
The Old Wolf almost 12 years ago
I desperately want to believe that people like Tiffany canât grow up and stay as snotty, self-centered, vindictive and petty as our favorite anti-heroine. Then I see things like Amy BouzagloâŠ
ErrorMessage almost 12 years ago
Quill is not in to vapid little Tiffany and spending more time with her will only drive the wedge deeper. Tiff is delusional in thinking that he is interested at all.
ErrorMessage almost 12 years ago
Camp must be run by the Eye of Zye guy⊠Lu rejected him⊠he rejects her and promotes Tiffanyâs little delusion.
JoeStoppinghem Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Did anyone check the postage of the letter etc, to make sure Tiff didnât send it? .On those who think Quill would cheat with Tiff, he doesnât like her.
reedkomicks Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Why would she be rejected? She was the lead in the high school play! What is the criteria?
belldee90 almost 12 years ago
I really wish sheâd shift her focus. This isnât the 1950s when it was common to marry right after high school. Aaron, quill, it doesnât matter, this is tiresome.

Summer play: HONEYMOONERS GET STRANDED ON DESERT ISLAND. Starring Quill and local star Daytona St. Louis. (During opening night a young lady comes running out of the audience, jumps on the stage and starts pummeling Ms. St. Louis.)

Awwwwww, Too BAD You Werenât accepted for the âDRAMA Gulagâ, Lu.
BUT, You KNOW what happens when You âASSUME Something!â
And You, Know âOne Should NEVER Count Their Pretty-Boys BEFORE Their HATCHED!â
And NEVER Forget to âClose Cover Before Strikingâ!
Poor Kid. But MAYBE You got REJECTED by the Campâs Acceptance Committee because They HEARD Your âIâm a SNOTâ Song. And Since Mr. Oz produced it, that makes it HIS Fault!
But Seriously Luann, take the ADVICE of Others Here, and have Mr. Oz STAY in Bradâs old room at YOUR Folkâs House the whole time.
REMEMBER: TJ Stayed There for Several Monthâs with Your Parentâs BLESSING and there WASNâT One Word of PROTEST, Even from the BLUE NOSES Here!
Hey, I LIKE Luann. I DONâT Like or TRUST Mr. Oz. And the QUICKER Lu can Get HIM Out of HER âSystemâ the BETTER!
Oh Wait-Person?? COFFEE, Here, Please!
imbaldeagle almost 12 years ago
Love the âPlay?â Oh, Yeah â that IS what drama camp is about. Guess I mustâve been thinking about something elseâŠ
cruiserd almost 12 years ago
Do we know if Quill got accepted? Maybe Tiff will be alone.
Endunamoo almost 12 years ago
Well, Quill can always blow off Drama Camp and stay with some local Friends. Tiff can go to Drama Camp all by herself and Quill and Luann can have the time without here around.
Endunamoo almost 12 years ago
(correction) without (her) Tiffany around
PMark almost 12 years ago
The two-timing Quill thoroughly enjoys his time in Drama Camp with Tiffany without having to constantly think up ways to keep Luann believing that sheâs the only one for him.
ncalifgirl58 almost 12 years ago
Hoo Boy! Tiffany is going to rub it in big time!
ScarlettAngel almost 12 years ago
I feel bad for Lu. sure she has flaws, who doesnât, but this is a big deal and it can be hard to take when you get disappointed. Although disappointment doesnât killâŠ
drewpamon almost 12 years ago
Remember though you have people coming the whole world over to go to this camp. Think about it would quillâs parents really pay for him to go half way around the world just to go to a lame âeverybody gets inâ camp. Iâm sure they have plenty of those in the OZ.
Bandera_Ken almost 12 years ago
Oh. Well I called that one wrong.
ACTIVIST1234 almost 12 years ago
Unbelievable! Incompetent, unproven Tiff gets in but experienced, talented Luann doesnât. Either they went by date of application (after all, Tiff DID find the camp so she no doubt applied first, then Quill), or else somethingâs fishy.*BScan- you may be right, Tiff may have had her high-powered parents pull strings.
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
See? Luann is still having the understanding that Quillâs entering the camp was only if she would be there, which is the way it seemed to be conveyed to herâŠ. the question now remains, is this what Quilly-boy intends to see through, or will he go on to the camp, perhaps to her dismay? Will she insist he go on to do it, though inside she wishes otherwise? Will he honor what he said to her, and also not go?--This seems that however the outcome, there will be a big test for their relationship some of the âquestionsâ on it will deal with: the âtrust factorâ, the âopen communication factorâ, and perhaps several othersâŠâŠ
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
It would be nice to see that Quill really is true with his treatment of Luann, but there are people out there hungry to get placesâŠ. he could recognize that Lu is smarter and prettier than Tiff, but ALSO that sheâs more artistically inclined⊠since he endeavors to pursue his craft, this could also turn into the " a good salesman is very convincing" kind of angleâŠ. again, time will tellâŠ
notbornyesterday almost 12 years ago
Luann, thereâs hope for you yet
Cofyjunky almost 12 years ago
So now the obvious plot plays out; Tiff will lord this over Luann for the rest of the summer. Sheâll lie, exaggerate, and put Luannâs teeth on edge over every little comment or insinuation. Luannâs jealousy will be the wedge between her and Quill, cuz thereâs nothing a guy likes more than having to continually assure his girlfriend that he loves her. And, he should establish if thatâs how he REALLY feels about her. No more guessing games. And hopefully, thisâll be the summer Luann grows up.
LadyJ4444 almost 12 years ago
Iâd like it to be that Tiff did a letter switch, but I donât see how that can be possible.
mcnero almost 12 years ago
donât like this plot line at allâŠ.better be some kind of deception by Tiffany
1148559 almost 12 years ago
âIf the only criteria was beauty, Luann would be taken before Tiffany.â.I so agree⊠personally, I think Tiffany is hideous!
NorCalChuck almost 12 years ago
This does not end here . . . .Remember Tiffany is involved and of course Mr Evans who seems to have a way of doing something unexpected . . . .Stay tuned for news at 11.

Whatâs with the heavy-handed story lines these days? Other stories had a reason but a bad road trip and now this?
Runforson almost 12 years ago
Itâs good drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Step a side for Tif Luann
dblbaraje almost 12 years ago
We all know that Luann will continue on with life until Mr. Evans decides to retire. But sometimes it is hard to be reminded of lifeâs rejections, etc. Hopefully, something good will happen quickly.
orz almost 12 years ago
She seems like the type to fail.
PMark almost 12 years ago
According to Tuesdayâs comic, itâs a good camp, and lots of people apply. Which means lots of people get rejected.
There are a number of reasons why Tiff got in and Luann didnât. Luann could have applied too late. Tiff has a better drama resume that Luann. The acceptances are drawn from a hat. Itâs not that hard to think of them.
I doubt Tiffany had anything to do with it. Yesterdayâs strip had Crystal asking about the possibility of Luann attending and Tiffany pooh-poohed the idea. If she had been devious and manipulative, she would have bragged to Crystal about it. Tiff never keeps her little machinations secret from Crystal. She would be gloat-city if she had connived to keep Luann out.
Hawthorne almost 12 years ago
âI canât see a high school junior with that kind of clout.â
She doesnât need clout, just gall. She has plenty of that. Sheâll cheat Luann out of the camp experience if she can, just because she wants to.
She is almost certainly jealous of Luannâs success, on stage and with the boys, and possibly a little frightened of her. Either way, she is vindictive enough to forge a letter, if she thinks of it, and not smart enough to cover her tracks probably.
Iâm looking forward to the rest of this storyline. Iâd like to see Tiff put straight too.
Hawthorne almost 12 years ago
if they did, what of it? Whatâs Luann? Chopped liver? I donât think so.
I think itâs Tiffâs ruse, and that it will be discovered in time for Luann to go to camp. Or those who think Quill will skip camp if Luann isnât there might be right ⊠or any of a number of other things.
Weâll have to wait and see ;-)
Gerry Lee almost 12 years ago
@Hawthorneâ- Hi there! Well, Tiff is young, and I know her feelings for Quill may not be âTrue Loveâ, but thatâs not unusual for teens. Iâm just remembering Tiff crying when Quill left. She wept in front of Crystal, the one person she doesnât have to pretend in front of. I think she does have feelings for Quill, but the depth of them is admittedly unproven. You are right, Tiff definitely has doing dirt to Luann on her agenda, no arguement. But that in itself doesnât mean that she doesnât love Quill too, does it? Time will tell if Mr. Evans sees his creation as a complex multi-layered character, or a two dimensional plot device. I am hoping I am not just imagining Tiffâs humanity:)
Doctor11 almost 12 years ago
Poor, Luann, rejection of something you REALLY wanted to do is never fun. Just like looking for a job and getting turned down repeatedly.
chatroux almost 12 years ago
This would have actually been funny if Tiffany had been rejected, & Luann accepted! This cartoonist is starting to tick me off!!!
Trails4GMZ almost 12 years ago
Do you think Tiff called and cancelled Luannâs application?
sarafaye almost 12 years ago
If the decisions were based on auditions Luann would have been in, Tiffany would have been out. It must have been based on resumes. Tiffany has a movie, Miss Chamber, some modeling experience. Luann has been in the school play and probably didnât even send a head shot, if she even has one.
Attila The Voice! almost 12 years ago
Oh no REALLY??! The drama camp will be sorry when she hits it BIG!
Until then, poor Luann :(
