Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 20, 2014

Tiffany is next up, on ‘As the Pathos Burns"…. – You’d almost exptect to hear her reaction as thus: “Wow, you like me nearly as much as I like me!”…. – But to also be fair, this may not be Tiffany’s cup of tea, as far as a line of work is concerned.. "But just as questions were asked about how far the arc with Gunther was going to go, one must wonder: “How did Tiffany end up here?”….And, “Is she only written in this job, so that ‘comic pies’ will be thrown at her?”… – It’s also nice to see that somebody appreciated her enough to draw a pic of her…but it’s kind of like giving her a mirror to pacify her, unbeknownst to the kid….sort of like Bob Ross’ “Happy Accidents”….

LOL What a budding artist.

I thought she already did!

Kid has the makings of a right little brown-nose….

And when next we see him, Quill will have worked his magic on Gunther:

I guess she’ll put quitting on hold……tune in tomorrow?

I bet she has just the picture frame to put that into!

“Self Gratifying Work”“This Poor Trait Is A Work Of Art!”“A MasterCard Piece”“Drawn To You”or“You Art To Know”

Also, that guy must be pretty Knotts to have an entourage like that!….

Perhaps we are in fact going through the entire roster of Luann’s classmates one at a time, showing that they are all in fact either thoroughly ridiculous, contemptible, or even reprehensible, so that when the high school “cocoon” finally ruptures and all the characters move on with their lives and thus out of the strip, we won’t miss them so much now.

Just watched the trailer on YouTube…hilarious! Who’da thought?

No matter how unappreciated we may be, someone will always love us.

I’m almost 100% sure that Greg is wrapping this strip up folks. I know I keep saying it but more and more it seems obvious to me. He has to find a ending of sorts for each one. This summer he will send them off to their individual futures. I’m wondering if he plans to have Tiffany finally realize she isn’t the center of the universe and then she’ll end up liking working with kids or ???

I said it yesterday, and I’ll say it, again…Unless Ted McGinley starts showing up in the strip, it will not be over… – Or unless Brad or Somebody jumps over a tank of sharks…

Tiffany just needed a little positive reinforcement.just wait until the kid asks her to pose nudeShe’ll be beside herself

The little guy related to TJ?

Brought to you by…

Strayola crayon-like sticks… " Who says you have to color inside the lines?“….with Strayola, almost anyone can draw!…Almost…” – Mister E. brand Tragic Markers… “From Strayola…, ’We’re the picture of….uh….lemme see…it’s a picture of….”– Escher Sketch….from Twisted Toys… “Complete with instructions on drawing celebrities like….Pee Wee Herman… Prunella Bigglesworth… Lady Gaga… and somebody named John Tesh…..” – And by…Faded-Castle Painting and Art Supplies… “Specializing in abstract painting tools….Yeah, they’re abstract! That’s what they are!"…. “From Dali-Picaso, Inc….”

It was 1969 when Universal Pictures released “The Love God?” Don Knotts and Anne Francis were top-billed in the movie. The subject matter was (slightly) more “adult” than Knotts’ previous theatrical features.

Anybody hoping that “Luann: The College Years” will feature the reappearance of Aaron Hill?

Hey, wait, I just noticed: Luann with a box of puppets? Anyone for “Manger Babies”?

When Luann goes to the Community College, she presumably will still be in contact with Bernice, as well as Quill (obviously) and Gunther at Moony U. Other than that, expect to not see most of the others from Pitts High. That high school scene has been getting somewhat stale.

Aww! That’s cute, Sergio, and it has obviously touched Miss Farrell deeply (well, as deeply as a shallow miss can be touched). Maybe it will be of help to her and her insecurities….

I found “The Love God?” on YouTube— the full movie is there, but divided into 11 parts. I have not seen it for many years. I’ll have to watch it again sometime…

I thought Tiffany quit months ago.

Wait a minute. There were three couples at that dance. We’ve only followed two. Now where back to this?

Heeeeeeeey, Not BAD, Sergio! Not Bad at All.

LUV the “Botox” Lips, but what’s with the StarFish attached to Tiffo’s Hair???

The fashion I have been seeing is lilypads stuck to the side of the heads of giant women! It doesn’t help.

what the … ? Is Sergio T.J.s brother or even – gulp – his son?

I think Luann has already found her calling in life. She just doesn’t realize it yet. She’ll make a wonderful elementary or Kindergarten teacher.

He is trying to show her what she would look like with Botox.

What I find interesting is, that’s the way he sees her. Perhaps Tiffany actually has inner beauty? Maybe she’s not too far gone.

Tif….NICE?!!, it’s amazing.Sergio.. It’l be more nice when you pose nude for me..

The blue star in her hair is a nice touch.

Sergio looks like a miniature version of T.J.

Maybe it’s a little brother or cousin or simply someone whose ancestors come from the same part of the world as TJ.

LOL. That changed Tiffany’s mind.

“Does T.J. got a love life we don’t know about ?”Where DOES he always disappear off to? A kinky get-together with Ann Eiffel?

Jeez, I hope that they don’t bring back Aaron Hill! Luann could very well go into teaching little kids, but she has musical and acting talent and hope that she doesn’t drop it — maybe community theatre?

“Sergio is an obvious nod to the renowned cartoonist Sergio Aragonés”*Howtheduck: Nice catch! I just looked up Sergio Argones (not knowing him), and you are absolutely right.*Guys, check him out on Wikipedia.*BTW, Sergio added a star to Miss Farrell’s hair— an obvious sign he has a crush on her.

Wow. Sure switched gears on THAT quickly, Must be around the 6th of January in LuannVille…

Note: Mr. Evans gracefully declined to embroider his name on the seat of Miss Farrell’s jeans!

And Happy Dr. King’s Day, everyone. Hope you’re making the day off a day ON for service. (Some of us don’t get the day off :( )

Brdshtt – Ooooo— LOL!

For the record, I’m “working” today, but can get little done as every other office is closed and voice mail boxes are full. Anyone else “working”?

It’s ALL part of teaching.

You were saying, Tiffany?

It’s “comedy on the edge.” It has been about 45 years since I read a Mad magazine, and I had almost forgotten about those subtle little drawings!

brdshtt: Thank you ever so much for replying to my question about your roses…I am truly amazed! Oh, they must be Beautiful when they are in bloom! You probably have more roses than commercial rose gardens do! I had to smile when some people in the garden center wanted some of your own specialties! I just have a row of floribundas in my front yard, one climber, three tea roses also in the front yard and a miniature, another tea rose, and another climber in the side yard. I’ve run out of space! =-O You must have a lot of land! Oh, have you ever heard of a floribunda named French Lace? I lost one of the two I had and can’t find another one… And, oh, to make this comic-orientated, Tiffany can sure change her spots in a hurry! Show her a picture of herself and off she goes… ;)

Kids….just when you least expect it……you just never know.

@howthe duck:I also like Sergio Aragones very much! The Space Circus is one of my all-time favourites!
