Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 18, 2013

I’m distracted by how much I’m hating Luann’s lipstick.

“That’s Snooze To Me”“Tri….Trip… The Ligh….ZZZZZ”or“Nod When You Agree”

I know what it’s like to be so tired you fall asleep on your feet. Poor Quill – he needs a day to just sleep and decompress.

Luann is becoming her mother and Q is becoming Brad.

Whats the MATTER Pretty-Boy? Stewardess Wouldn’t let You SLEEP on the Plane???

“Goodnight, Tonight” Paul McCartney and Wings“Only In My Dreams”, Debbie Gibson“Sleep Walk”, by Santo & Johnny

This relationship is not long for this world.

Oh for crying out loud. A valiant attempt by Mr. Q, but let the poor boy sleep, Luann?

The sleepier Quill gets, the taller he gets or the shorter Luann gets. I’m not sure which^^That’s cause she’s holding him up :p

…but this is getting old. ^Well, of course, it is! It has been a while since I posted it…..

Same for my Mrs…. She doesn’t like putting on makeup, and she only uses a bare amount when she does…. Her complexion and her nice features do fine without any, anyway!

Too bad about the no sleep. Hopefully Luann gets another chance to be up close & personal real soon.

Poor Quill. I agree , he has gone theextra mile (no pun intended)so he can be with Luann. But he isin a human body that has run down.Drop the poor guy off @ Gunther’s now, Luann. Let him sleep and get back onhis feet. Part of loving someone istaking care of them.

looks good with or without makeup.

Luann’s lipstick, being a senior now and having this steady relation with Quill tells me that the end of this strip is at hand… I fear it will end with Luann’s graduation in 2014…

Why would it end? The strip is about Luann. It doesn’t matter what age she is.

I sympathize entirely with Quill, and hope he can maintain his vertical position until at least this set ends—at which time, Luann should show some compassion, drive the poor guy to the Berger house, and put him to bed….It is almost impossible to sleep usefully on a transoceanic flight: there is noise from the engines and plane’s systems; interruptions by cabin staff selling, shilling, or inquiring whether you are asleep; bothersome seatmates who announce that they have to get up and go to the toilets; kids seated behind you kicking the seatback (always!); and untimely meal service; not to mention the re-cycled polluted and chill air….

Agreed, Luann needs to take Quill Home (Gunther’s place) and put him to bed.

(Not TAKE Him to Bed, Put him to Bed!)

[These people! Sheesh!]

Luann asked and then did NOT listen to what he said. She should have said, I’m sorry, lets sit this one out and talk. That way if he wanted to catch a few snoozes he could without the danger of falling down and embarrassing them both……..Girl you gotta learn to LISTEN.

I fully agree with you Night

They are halfway to sleeping together—good practice for married life.

@imajayblue. I liked the post about your wife. More of that and less long post that I skip over.

I know Lu will probably be a little upset when she looks up and sees what’s happened (or hears it :-) ). But she should really take it easy on him. I just hope Tiff doesn’t try to “Carpe Diem.”

I don’t think it will work well for her.

Be-yawned the pale! Good one! Ha ha!

Hang on sleepy! Ha ha!

“Sleepy came from the wrong side of the International-date lii-ne….” dunh-duhnh, duhnh… duhnh-duhnh-duhn.. (couldn’t grab the little music notes, sorry!)

Maybe he couldn’t sleep on the plane, because there were—- “Snakes” on it! Lol!

I just don’t understand the appeal of heavy lipstick and esp. thick lips. Both look very ugly on anyone.

It’s getting easier to scroll through the comments; I zip right over anyone wasting space posting song titles.

Thanks, everybody (A long list of nice people here, to name!) for the well-wishes and also thanks to everybody who makes this a fun and entertaining forum! The Mrs. sees, and she says thank you, as well! So nice to be able to spend a day (that’s normally a workday) together, so, c’y’all sometime later this evening, or so!

I agree with you, and I think Mordock needs to remember that caffeine (his drug of choice) CAN be overdone….

Hurry Luann. Get him some coffee.

Note that he’s apologizing to her for falling asleep, instead of her apologizing to him for keeping him awake. (She should have let him sleep in the car on the drive from LAX and then driven him straight to Gunther’s house to sleep some more without bringing him to the decorating session at the gym. Maybe Luann could have picked up Quill’s suit beforehand, too?)

I was feeling bad that Delta & Bernice apparently didn’t come, but then remembered they’re at the State Chess Tournament— wiping the knights and bishops off the board!

By the way, today is supposed to be National Chocolate Cupcake Day (warning to all dieters). Govern yourselves accordingly….

I can remember times when I made a valiant effort to carry on a conversation when I was WAY too sleepy. Wound up pretty much talking nonsense.

Luann is so selfish, let him go home and sleep.

I haven’t seen very many, other than Wiley. Please let me know who else responds; I’d really enjoy reading those comments.

Mr Evans please contact I on rhm-19571@hotmail.com or go to Facebook for Rene Manuel. I need to contact you. It is serious.

@overtherainbow

argy, you didn’t address this to me, but it has been said to me by other posters because I don’t care for Luann and whenever I indicate this, I get “Why do you read this strip anyway????” Well, there’s a lot more to this strip than =just= Luann, it’s an ensemble cast, and for god’s sake, we don’t have to like every single character in an ensemble cast. This question gets old, and i’d appreciate never having to hear it again.

Overtherainbow: There are a lot of people who post on the board for this comic, and other comics on this site, who clearly indicate that they dislike a character. Some go as far as interpreting the character to have inclinations that they oppose. When those posts show up, others will naturally ask why the writer bothers to read something that disturbs them. The question will recur because there are new readers and posters on a site, and because it is a legitimate question. Here’s the thing: you have a right to your opinion, and so do those who ask why people continue to read something when they dislike one or more of the characters in the comic. So the question may seem ‘old’ to you, but even if I never ask it of you or anyone else, there will be plenty who will ask it. They have that right, and you have the right to ignore or scroll past those questions. Just as I scroll past discussions about what some posters think of as totally negative aspects of a character.

“Luann is one of them. Tiffany isn’t.”I can’t swear I’ve ever seen Tiffany without. Maybe she’s lovely and just doesn’t know it.

Fair enough, argy. I deleted the comment because I’d thought better of getting into this. But since you were quicker than me… Sure people have the right to ask. But by doing so, often very rudely, I get the impression they don’t think I have the right to my own opinion. The question is often (IMO) an overreaction to some comment someone’s made, and in that case comes across as Comment Police. I’m just in a sick-of-it mood right now. And feel free to scroll past this comment. I scroll past stuff all the time and I still enjoy the strip and the board.

That is funny! And after the said…(ahem)…. “makeover” (snerk!), Wonder if he’d be on the laughing side of it? He is ol’ Qcumber, but I wonder….

If you were looking for who did “Tossin’ and Trunin’”, Bobby Lewis did the first one…

“…..,Mostly it has everything to do with being packed like a sardine in coach (because we are all SOOO Rich we can afford 1st class, right?) and with the little bastard kicking the back seat of our the whole flight….,”

Wait , Wait, Wait: YOU Don’t FLY 1st Class? REALLY?!!? Wow.

Hey, I ALWAYS Fly 1st Class when I travel.And I’m RICH. (Well the Wife IS anyway…..,)

Luann is acting like a clueless, selfish brat. She needs to show that she can think of someone besides herself.

I was just going to mention that to him about Charo! She doesn’t look anywhere near ready to start spinning yarn… an accomplished flamenco guitarist to boot, as well! She is very vibrant, to say the least!…. And still performing!

Love the matching dress and tie color…. that’s how a guy get’s the right girl.

Paul Anka for “…Shoulder”. .. If you ever hear the Lettermen do their version, it is a knockout! Literally and figuratively… may even be a good song for Quill to fall asleep to, if it wasn’t so easy for him to do, at this point… – Had to look up the other one…Raymond Blanning Egan was the author, but not sure who was the first, last or other to perform it…

Okay, I see that your usual suspects have each did their own take of “Sleepy Time Gal”… Jerry Vale, Perry Como (or coma, if you hear the “Animaniacs” tell the tale), Dean Martin… some of their versions are on YouTube….

Oh, forgot: Bobby Vinton did a nice version of “…Shoulder”, too…

And he zones out again.

Y so SERIOUS!!!??? What’s REALLY interesting IS that everyone here IS reading comics AND getting so bent OUT of shape ABOUT STUPID STUFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

? HUH ? Someone has an overactive imagination… or, some unfulfilled fantasies…

Either way… hhmmm… not sure how to comment…. :-P

HAHAHAHA!!!! LOL!! I didn’t even catch that…..

Though, I have been reading for MANY years…

GOOD STUFF! Keep it comin’…

You can see Luann’s Shape in that dress she looks better than Tiff If you ask me.Now Luann can take Quill home to bed and what people would think.

“…and I think to myself…. what a wonderful…” – Well, that’s what would be playing right now… I think I’ll go watch Polyanna…. Okay, I’ve changed my mind..

Someone put the poor boy to bed before he falls over!

If I were to fall asleep, that’s a great way to do it.

@Sarah: gee whiz, doesn’t Luann get to “sex it up” a bit now? Geesh.

Quill must’ve been “wagging” his school back in Australia (playing hooky) -we’ve had “Spirit Week” in high schools here in Sydney for at least a decade :)
