Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 06, 2013

LOL

And if I were to give Brad and Toni and Luann and compsny a letter rating, I’d say: “You’re all a G!”…

They could go ‘Southern’ and call themselves "US’uns.

Hmmm. Coupley? Healthy relationship? Take your pick, Toni.

Cute…Got a kick out of the cups they are holding….

How about “Brani”? Or “Trad”? Or “Toad”?

… Okay, maybe not the last one.

We-ird.

Ah, That’s Sweet.:)

“Two Divided By Zero”“We-er Gonna Be Holding On”or “Let Your Love Flow "

One order, one voice… anything else…. irrelevant …

“Brought to you” by…Peabody Urology Associates… “For good health, you can be sure that you’re in good company!” – French with Flo…. " Oui , nous avons tres competent!"- and by…. Your local Borg collective…

Oui. Mais certainement.

I’m willing to give Brad points for enthusiasm but he’s still talking in bumper stickers. Bumper stickers from a Hallmark shop, even. I hope these two are prepared to deal cooperatively and creatively with the harsher parts of marriage, but they’re showing more enthusiasm than sense here. Don’t get me wrong, I wish them well!

I vote for Toad, but pronounced in two syllables.

US-ERS? I hope not!

Yesterday’sstrip is readable now.

Of course they have their own mugs and chairs. They have their own drinks to imbibe and can’t sit on top of each other! And toothbrushes and cars, as the first is not sanitary and the second is often necessary to go in different directions at the same time. And clothing unless they both are either androgynous or cross-dressers…

Oh, cut him a break. Everyone says stupid stuff like ‘we-ers’ to a fiancée/girlfriend/whatever. It’s just on of those cutesy things couples say.

“We-er”, like the little piggy who cried “wee wee wee” all the way home, I guess.

“WE” is a good thing but “ME” should not be suppressed. Differences can contribute to a good relationship as long as both people value fairness.

i guess you could call them “Broni”, but that sounds too much like what they call fans of a certain cartoon show…

Husband and wife? Mates? The couple? Love birds/bugs? There are numerous possibilities. Just let something come naturally, Toni and Brad. Don’t try to force it….

Two-sers who enjoy being onsies once in a while?

Bradni? :p

“Mates” says it well.

Didn’t anyone notice that Brad’s cup says “Dad”? He’s so ready!

In the Upper Mid Atlantic, we say “wes”, “yous” and “an dems” (like it’s plural, with a z)… -Maybe Rivers Cuomo would be kinds glad, then, becaus, then Brad could say "We could be ‘weez-ers’ "…

It still also sounds like he was saying they could be “we-ers”, like he’s proud that they can go #1 all by themselves. . I think Toni thought about that, as well as other things…

Will the “we-ers” become “ex-es” in 2014? Brad may be too much of a clinging vine for Toni’s wishes. She’s probably not accustomed to a relationship that gives her so little breathing room. It may remind her of Dirk’s attempts to control her.

How about SEVERAL Words, Toni?

Like “Overburdened Taxpayers.”

Which is what You Two will Be, Especially AFTER You Get Married and BEFORE You Have 2.5 Kids.

How does one have .5 kids?

@Mikeyj “Toni and her brother were in their teens when their parents died in a car crash”-Thanks for the info. Not really enough time to pattern after them I think.

Upeachothersbutt-ers?

@Comicman42485

How about “Brani”? Or “Trad”? Or “Toad”?… Okay, maybe not the last one.

Torad?

Eh…Ahemmmm!!! :-)

Acutally, my favorite was always “Boni” ;-PPP

What about Tobra?

So, let me guess… They finally get up enough courage to revisit Mom & Dad’s bedroom to “test out the main feature” but before they can even start:

WE’RE HOOOOMMEE!

Bummer! :)

I told my ex, I always thought of marriage as us. My ex thought of marriage as you, me, us. Didn’t realize that this was something that was needed to be discussed before marriage.

“I vote for Toad, but pronounced in two syllables.”Just like in Tommy Boy….ROOOOOADS.

BOOOORRRRIIINNNGGGGG! Will someone on staff give Greg another idea for a story line—PLEASE!!!!

We, Us, Together forever

Yeah, Toni and Brad, that’s how it starts…for a while.

I’ve seen how it can happen, where two people going into a marriage with the “this is mine, this is yours” approach… not as in chairs, cups, etc., but as in bank accounts, house (s), other things. They basically ran around with their friends all of the time, after work… barely spent any time together (if at all ), spent their money, but expected their mates to just use their money on them, and they felt they didnt have to reciprocate… as if their husbands was just a meal ticket, and no emotional bonding, some dont even share things physically… and I wonder, sort of rhetorically, why did you even bother to get married?… Its almost as if they insist on keeping things seperate, just in case … and before they got married, they must’ve put on some kind of act, being pretty charming… I’ve seen some guys who don’t share themselves in various ways, as well… – But it’s refreshing to see that it’s not like that everywhere! I also know couples (including the Mrs. and I, among others) who enjoy doing things together, and can balance between enjoying private space and time and enjoying their mate, as well… through good weather and bad… that’s part of the fun!… A life partner, and someone that can be closer than a friend…

partners, team, best friends…………..they all work for me and my hubby

In this day and age they are much more likely to be "wii"ers. The couple who play together stay together.

The “Weans”, We… The People.

How about groupers?

Groan…. Don’t quit your day job

Tomorrow is December 7th. Take a look at today’s ‘Nancy’ cartoon for a very inspiring approach to tomorrow…

Why haven’t we seen a glimps into Toni’s family life yet? She seems so surprised by a normal familys lifestyle.

They could be USers.

I sorry if it sounds like a complaint, but this is still Thanksgiving day at the house and they haven’t even cooked the turkey yet. This scenario is taking a wee bit to long…….are they or aren’t they??

We-zies

The Twain

There are marriage vows just for generals?All that matters is that Brad remebers to love, honor and obey Toni.

Go with Us’ers

I hope that you csn find comfort and solace in your remembering,JPW!

Tgere is one area where she’ll let you know it’s more me (her) than us … and that’s in the labor portion of having children!…

Torad? Sounds like a StrongBad character. Torad The Burninator!

How about ‘Toni and Brad’? Or alternatively, ‘Brad and Toni’. A persons name is more than a word game.

Tell that to Shirley Ellis The Name Game

Tell that to Shirley Ellis The Name Game

As long as nobody asked her to do “Chuck”!

We always said Chucky but point taken… :-PPP

I think Brad is less involved with “Nancy” than he was, previously…

Just wait- you’ll have all the wee-ing you want once you get a baby or a dog (like Puddles).*BTW, you all are influential. Following the discussion the first of the week about the correct way to hand toilet paper, the commenter who enumerated the list of reasons for front unrolling was convincing.*So yesterday, for the first time in my life, I hung the roll to unfurl from the front. (But for the record, having germ-tainted hands touch the wall was unconvincing— hands are not germ-tainted until the toilet paper has been used.)

I think the November 10 strip shows that Toni thinks that their life will be that of two individuals together, whereas Brad thinks that they will become a single Bradandtoni. Unless they resolve this basic difference, they are in for a bumpy (at best) relationship.

Bacteria gotta eat too.

Sorry, Joel, I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses when I read this. But this just emphasizes my original comment, which you didn’t get. Brad with the “Dad” cup — and now Toni with the “Mom” cup. Greg is sayinf they are so ready to be parents. That story line might take another 10 years to show up, but it’s coming.

oops, “saying”.

Parents? Brad is barely out of diapers himself!
