Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 26, 2014

“Who Were You? (Who, Who? Who, Who?)”“Keeping Up Disappearances”“Ask A Silly Question….”or“Chuck Cunningham Wasn’t Here”

Sponsored by….Forgetitol… ‘the wonder medicine!’….“Wait…. It does something important…now, what was it supposed to be?….” – 17 3/4 cereal… From General Spills… "Filled with “vitamins”.. And “nutrient-like products”…now, you don’t have to wait for your graduation to have a ‘senior moment’!…" – and by….. Uh…. Um….

And so it begins…

The average high school graduate is 18 years old. Like my father who was born in December and graduated in 1968, sounds like Bernice is graduating as a 17 year old.

Who’s team really doesn’t count… because that game was played in Australia…. the real opening day is upon us, still… – Besides… that Who isn’t the one everyone’s talking about, the one in the most recent news. The real question is: Who’s Who on the disabled list?

Oh, that’s a low blow Lu and Bernie! ;)

IJB, natch! ;)

See, this is the problem with having good friends in high school…at least one inevitably goes to college in a different state, and the tension that held everyone together loosens up and things will never be the same again. This is usually even more heightened if they all attend their fifth reunion… Delta, you’ve chosen a Great university, but at the same time you have to begin to make space for your new life to come… ;)

I have the distinct feeling we’re not going to find that out in the near future… I suspect it is time for Quill to return… ;)

I’ll throw my hat in for Tiff and Crystal, next week… excuse me, I’ve got to go grab my hat….

They’re just pulling Delta’s leg. Look at Lu’s eyes in the first panel.And as far as Knute goes, he’ll probably invent some new cleaning product that will take the world by storm, form his own company and hire all his former college grad friends to work for him.

Or the Yale Graduate Studies in Janitorial Sciences… ;)

Cross off Bernice as to getting a present!

Bernice is being Bermean!

Maybe the girls should have their coming-of-age party Before they graduate? Since they’ll probably have summer jobs, they might not be able to coordinate a date during that time…just a thought… ;)

Oh, oh…here comes my Cinderella carriage…I’d better catch it before the Both of us turn into pumpkins! ’Nite all… ;)

As to the party predictions about how wild they’re going to get, my bet is there will be some experiences with alcohol overindulgence. And the wonderful lesson of the morning after.

Wow, how cold o.0

I’m no fashionista, but I love Delta’s outfit.

“No, Delta, we wouldn’t dream of doing anything without you.”

I “think” Lu was joking there, but I see that Bern couldn’t resist the “snark” opportunity… :-)

Anyway, we have another important clue on the “age” thing. If Lu and Bern don’t turn 18 until Sept., that means that there can still be “under age” tensions in the house up to that point… which should prove interesting for Lu, Q, and the parents…. Hmmmmm.. :-)

“I wonder if we’ll get used to doing things without Delta?”“What do you means we, Kemo Sabe?”

Luann has been running for the last 30 years. we have seen her going through jr. high and high school. now they are all ready to go to college. will Greg be retiring when they all go off to college?

That’s what I was ultimately referring to…..

Sure Luann. By All Means Do Things WITHOUT Delta.

After All, She and Bernie Once DID a Road Trip WITHOUT You!

WHAT? They Never TOLD You???

But then, again, with our brains working overtime on plots involving cameras, security, school justice, “the realness of Gunther’s kiss”, proms, cameras, fitness of Shannon’s caretakers, locks, “altruism”, “elitism”, “the nature of a friendship”, the state of characters’ relationships (both love relationships and friendships), the possibility of people arriving at the wrong homes before their new years’ curfew, the state of Gunther and Rosa’s relationship, the qualifications for peace corps, “the infamous plan C”, the possibilities of where people will go post HS (uh… did I leave something out?)… our brains probably needed a quick vacation of not “conjecturing”, this week…..

They will all be together in the summer and may even take classes at the community college. Yet it might take them 29 years to graduate.

what year will she turn 18?

Knute will probably take a janitorial job at Moony University so we’ll see both sides of a teens newly graduated life, some into college AND the few who jump right into the work field.

Why is Delta wearing a Star Trek TNG uniform?

-How do you do that???

Today’s Zits comic shows mother Connie asking Jeremy how he’s going to ask his girlfriend Sara to the prom. His answer? He’s going to write a note and put it in her salad. If she eats the note without noticing it, he’ll ‘Heimlich’ it out of her, because there’s no sense wasting a good note.-Mr. Romance meets the Mother Who Wants to Relive Teen Years through her kids….

“Have the party in August before she leaves. Problem solved.”*ReallyBad— that’d work, but the wild things they have in mind require that they all first reach the age of majority— 18— and not a day before.*And that Plan C was an effective cliffhangar, no?

Most teenagers don’t plan things 6 months in advance. It is odd they would be talking about this instead of the prom or anything else happening in the next few weeks.

They must have started kindergarten at age 4 instead of 5. I’ve never heard of starting school that early. And I don’t think students skip a grade anymore.

Nasty, girls.

If your birthday is between January and May, you will be 18 when you graduate from high school. If your birthday is in the summer, you will still be 17 when you graduate. If your birthday is in September – December, in some states you would start first grade at age 5 and have your 6th birthday in your first months of school (and graduate at 17), but in other states you would wait a year and start first grade at age 6 and turn 7 in the first few months (and graduate at 18).

It’s a symbolic party, Luann. It doesn’t have to correspond to anyone’s actual b-day. Since mine fell on the 23rd of December and so was screwed up by a demi-god’s fictitious one, my late Father and I mutually agreed to acknowledge it then but to celebrate it in February. Worked fine, except that by brothers (whose b-days were in August) still thought one gift in December was enough for the whole year.

“Sounds like your brothers were classic cheapskates.”-———————————————-They were and still are.

Bernice just lost her “date” for the prom.And Luann and B wouldn’t know HOW to party without Delta.

My dad did as well. They advanced him two years in elementary/jr. high. He said it was a mistake—he could handle the schoolwork, but starting his senior year at 15 meant the whole social aspect of high school was completely messed up for him. Plus, when he graduated, he was too young for college and too young for a “real” job, so he basically marked time until he turned 18.

They wanted to advance me a couple of years in elementary school, but my dad put a halt to it. His experience was why.

If the Pitts High students who do not attend college are not written out of the strip: It is easy to imagine Knute as being employed in a janitorial capacity. Somehow, I can visualize Crystal working as a cocktail waitress or bartender. I am able to picture Ox playing for a minor-league or semi-pro football team. That is, if they continue as characters…

Another character to wonder about is TJ— It frequently happens in real life that men who are friends with each other drift apart when one or both get married.

And, of course, the hoopla of the Prom should be happening very soon. It will be fun to see how much boy+girl romantic innuendo is going to be allowed by Evans & Evans when they portray “the big night!”

I’m the Delta of the group?That must mean you think I’m pretty.YES

LOL about “mikeyj tossing his cookies!” ;)

True, ‘twas sad.How’d my party pick an inherent loser like McGovern?Nobody wanted to vote for Tricky Dick, but George was even worse.

About high school graduation and age…I had my 18th birthday one month before graduation…But, I also began school at age 4 (Kindergarten, Sub-primary, and then primary (1st grade). Haven’t a clue about Sub-primary unless they had it for students who didn’t quite “get” kindergarten… At 4 years of age how could I possibly “get” school in any form?! At any rate, here’s a saying by Lord Brougham (1778 – 1868): “Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.” Good evening all… ;)

The irony is, none of the criminal activity was in theleast necessary; Nichtssohn by a landslide IIRC. But the schmuck was so paranoid and insecure, he just HAD to make sure…. All politicians makethe dodgiest used car salesmen look positivelyvirtuous,

You should try “Gentle Creatures”, too. There’s a couple of others that I like to use to “wind down”…..

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!……

Again- ha ha ha ha!!!!…

Luann’s text balloon= funny !….

I saw an app on Windows and Android for the LCARS interface, and for some Trek fonts, effects, graphics, etc.

Uh- I have “copyrightses” on that bridge!… – I got them off of the internet. The internet said I could have it.

My inner beauty shines through from deep, deep within at last
