Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 13, 2013

Doesn’t she have a job?

Notice the 2014 School Annual. This year may be in real time.

Love the “Daily Dollop” newspaper. :-)

“Countdown To The Real World”or “The Grass Was Greener Yesterday”

“How quaint. It’s a newspaper with job listings.”

Really! That is just so last century!

“Hey, Frank’s nose is only a third of its usual size.”-Maybe Greg is going to cute him up like he did to Brad.

Got it! It will be a busy day, for sure!

That, and at the same time, constant Facetime with Quill when he’s in Australia.

“Brought to you”, by:the Pitts Area Ring, Tassel and Yearbook committee… “If you want nothing but the best ,remember that the ‘party’ is in your hands!…. Help support our grad packs!”… – Fame interview counseling and staffing agency… “When we’re done, they’ll remember your name!”… – and by:Impatient U….. Justin Roll, now dean of students, and Festin R., School President…. We stand by our motto, Hurryus Getoutus, Established since 2013…"

And the local newspaper publisher issues them a uniform of caps and sleeved or sleeveless v-neck sweaters and suspenders… for the summer they can wear shorts with it…

I’m cheering for your girls, Brdshtt! Let us know how it goes today.

No senior anymore would settle for a package of simple mug shots.

Luann has a job after school working with the kids.

I did get the photos, class ring, and yearbook. I was on the yearbook staff—it was fun. I took many of the random pictures that appeared in my senior yearbook, and as copy editor I ruthlessly deleted copy whenever I could. The kids wanted MORE PICTURES, not words. I made sure a lot of the pics were of kids who had seldom or never had random candid shots in the yearbook before. God, I was sick of the dozen or so kids who had fifteen pics each in every yearbook. Haven’t thought about those days in many years. :-)

Do they still advertise jobs in the classifieds? He should be handing her a tablet to browse Craigslist,.

I note that the female model in the “Senior Memories” ad (lower right) is not Tiffany Farrell.It is nice to see Frank equipped with something to use for turnabout; Luann shouldn’t let being a senior go to her head (such as it is).

Tiff was effectively proving that she CAN’T do it!

That’s RIGHT Lu: A J-O-B!!!

Besides, it SERVES You RIGHT for ALWAYS Getting Frank those CRAPPY “Father’s Day” Gifts……,

I am always amazed by how much Americans glorify the end of their secondary schooling. And a bit jealous too because it looks like fun, though from my point of view the (expensive) memory stuff is a bit overboard.

Have a friend in Ga that is too broke for fed assist on ACA (you have to be between 100 and 400% of the poverty level, she is below it) and too rich for Medicaid (Ga did not go for the expanded Medicaid program). Good news, they won’t fine her for having no ins. Have a family member in the same situation in NC. College grad working 28 hrs a week with no benefits.

“….,Luxury does not exist in these parts.”_____________________________________

And WHAT “Parts” are Those, Wesley???

About 2/3s of my students have jobs. Many have to do it because their income is needed to pay the rent and light bill in their family. (Some have children of their own, sadly.) Some work as much as 35 hrs a week.

I recommend anyone with children start a small savings account for their Senior year. My son had his hand out for something every time I turned around. Class rings, Senior pictures, cap and gown fees, Prom, Homecoming, college application fees, college commitment fee for housing, etc… I have two more kids, a high school Sophomore and an 8th grader…both now have accounts that I put $25/mo in. Should help when we get there!

How did she suddenly switch sides in the last panel? The paper was easily visible, so there was no need for her to walk around the chair.

I doubt if we are going to be able to evesdrop on that conversation. .More to the point of today’s strip, Luann does not look like she is going to get much encouragement to pursue higher education from her fuddy-duddy dad.

How many Seniors today think about getting either a job or college in a year?.Any thinking of college had better be thinking about it before that—as at the college fair in Pittsfield last year.

I doubt her job will pay for all that gear.

Maybe Luann can become a partner in TJ’s lunch wagon business. Then, when the Feds find out that they are employing an Australian citizen who is here on a student visa, the whole cast can go to the penitentiary together. It will be refreshing to see Gunther wearing stripes rather than checks.

The only relic I have left from high school is my letterman’s jacket and a couple years books and I have no clue where they are.

Yeah, but you gotta admit that Tiff’s doing a great job getting the kids to do child labor work for the dance. She’d be great in Chinese factory slave labor management.

Well even though we might read the strip each day on here most of Luann’s followers are reading this in a newspaper

I think the Sunday strips are made without reference to the dailies probably because many papers buy Luann only on Sundays

Certainly, Gunther seems much more enthusiastic about being re-united with Quill than he does about being with Rosa.

My parents didn’t bug me about getting a job until AFTER I had graduated from high school; the only thing I didn’t get to do in high school was driver’s ed since my parents didn’t want to waste the money at the time and insisted that I focused on my school work, my friends, AND band.

I still read the print paper, especially when I have a 55-minute to work and another 55-minute ride coming home. And yes, the papers still have the “employment opportunities” section, although not as extensive as before. For a person looking for a job, all media is good: print, online, cold calls, networking, referrals, associations, word of mouth, etc.

I live in Pittsburg and yes, we do have people who sells the papers every day and some others who distribute another one, free.

Tadadaddddda…Get a Job! ;)

Senior mementos, meet Luann. Luann meet job. Frank’s pockets are firmly shut down. Luann meet reality of life. There goes your dream of being with Quill as much as you can 24/7… ;)

Our local newspaper has a jobs section in the classifieds for dailies and weekends, as well. And once a year, there is a “mega-section” printed as a part of the Sunday edition, advertised as being with “thousands of employers in it”…

“In downtown Pitts, they probably still have the guy on the corner with the bundle of newspapers under his one arm…” And, again, so last century…the early part of it, anyway… ;)

“Luann has a job.” I’m not sure if this is a paid job or not…don’t remember the subject coming up during that arc… ;)

I have an idea (if its not too snarky). Does anyone want to say why they like Luann’s GoComics comic strip? To me, its like watching an old soap opera, or linear week-to-week TV dramas. I also like to read peoples’ posts, as invariably they might have an opinion on what is going on that is different than mine. And, its just plain fun, a vacation of sorts from what can be weary day-to-day life. Now, I’m off to enjoy taking my Irish Setter for a walk in the beautiful sunshine! ;)

P.S. I like the comments, too, most of the time. :-)

You’re right there. Our local paper (and it’s a pretty big town) only has a few listings for drivers. That’s it.

PMS off Frank, she has a job.

I’d also have to say that my favorite character is Toni. Luann is the “star of the strip”, but Toni’s mode of thinking and subtle wit and awareness are what draws me to her character… Frank, Nancy, Brad, Bernice, Crystal and Tiff…. And when Lu is not being ‘melodramatic’ or ‘swooning’ over someone, she also carries a sharp wit and can have good awareness, when she really wants to….

From the Facebook page:“Luann DeGroot From the Department Of Continuity: Since Sunday strips are done far in advance of the dailies there sometimes may occur a timing discrepancy. (Translation: someone goofed; Luann got a job two weeks ago).”

^5! – & You had a way better sports day than I did too!

I bought 1 yearbook to get autographs from all my friends. My graduating class was over 800 (was talking to son today about my grand daughter’s being in top 25% of her class of 600) and she had straight As – she gets all the leads in drama (in school and the clubs she joined) but she’s very pretty and sings and dances well too. She applied to NYU and DuPaul. Her brother already started college but is transferring to Texas A&M for pre law.

Why do you read this strip? Anybody else notice the anomaly here of this person?

Hmm? If you’d bothered to read my post, you’d know why I read the strip. Go take a flying f, Night-Gaunt.

The girls won the first game 4 – 0, and won the championship final game 5 – 0. Total shutout for the whole tournament! :) :)

Fantastic!!! High fives all around! \o/ \o/ Please tell them “Great job!” for me. :-D

NG:What has Over ever done to you?….

THANK you, Donny.

Gad, I’m spamming the board today. Sorry, folks, I’m not usually so prolific. I’d still like to see others write about why they read the strip, though. Anyone?

well said DAD!

And to top it all off- shutouts and undefeated in postseason? Way to go for them!

You know, DW, I’d really like to give your posts the same chance to read that I do the others…but the lines and lines of words in this post just make my eyes glaze over and I tune out… You’re not supposed to be writing a book, for c-o-l!

I’m a little late replying, but good luck to the girls in their second half of the season! They’re quite the team! ;)

Awesome Frank!!! Start her lookin’ now before they end up having a 30 year old Luann still living at home..ring a bell anyone?
