Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 15, 2014

I don’t think that this was what Fogarty meant by saying he was going to “let them view a few shorts”….

Methinks Knute drew that poster on the desk.

“Think outside the Box.”

What Box? I don’t see any Box!"

“Swimsuit Illustrated: Fogarty Edition”“Underwear? Under There!”“Polka Dot Pranks”“Fogarty’s Day At The Beach”“X Ray Marks The ‘Specks’ "or“We’ve Got Him On The Spot”

Or Fred Flintstone’s….

A new arc — PLEASE

Well, at least he hasn’t aged at all.

Hello, long time lurker first time commenter. With Luann and her friends graduating high school, do you think Gregg is setting up Mr Fogarty to show up as a college professor? Or do you think Gregg is preparing to restart the strip after the summer and a Brad and Toni wedding? Similar to what they didin “For Better or for Worse”?

How he didn’t see that on his desk is the real question.

Boy, this must be a weak arc if I can get in to the 1st 15 posts! :-) I agree, bring on the next arc!

That’s actually pretty funny!!…lol

Anyone else having trouble pulling up comics? I can get about half of them.

I suppose every good teacher will have moments of self-doubt and wonder whether he could have done things better from time to time. But if Fogarty has stayed on the job this long, he cannot be an utter failure.So, buck up, man! Look on the bright side!

The way some classrooms are set up, it would be simple for Mr. Fogarty to miss the poster on the front of his desk. For instance, if Mr. Fogarty’s desk is in the middle of the front of the room with the students facing east, his face would be toward the west. If the door to enter the classroom is located at the southeasterly corner of the room, Mr. Fogarty came in, turned right and went straight to his chair without seeing the poster on the front of his desk. ~Students have been pulling pranks on teachers for as long as there have been teachers. When I hung mistletoe above the doorway and a male and a female teacher stood under it conversing and wondering what everyone was snickering about, one of the teachers got mad and demanded to know who hung it. The response from my classmates was, “Nobody knows.” I suspect that is what happened in Mr. Fogarty’s classroom when he demanded to know who put that poster on the front of his desk. ~That is what happens when one has a reputation of never telling on anyone else. :o)

Aunt Crusher likes to bring this to DeGroot family potlucks.

Unofficial recipe: I don’t use the topping as that makes it a cake, in my judgment.)

ENOUGH of This TORMENT!

Hey, Foggy-Bottom? That Lady You’re talking to?She INEXPLICABLY Has the “Hots” for You, so WHY Don’t the TWO of You Retire, Get Married or Something, and Live Semi-Happily Here-After in Some Over-Priced, Gated, Eastern Coastal Community and Plot the Downfall of the Western Millennial Civilization?

“I look forward to a wedding arch similar to the prom arch”*Sisterdame – I too would look forward to that, but an inner voice tells me there is going to be a terrible accident fighting a fire, and one of the two will be wheeled down the aisle on a stretcher or in a wheelchair.*Just as long as it’s not permanent.

That is creative!

Good thing this is a light hearted comic strip. People who announce their retirement have a NASTY habit of dying in certain other genres.

I’d expect to see the next arc be brad and toni as firefighters saving Fogarty’s burning house, only to find ‘he didn’t make it.’

Maybe Evans went on vacation and had to fill his quota before he left so he could actually have a vacation without doing a daily comic??? Could be why this arc is extending for sooo long. With due respect to the teaching profession and what they must endure now days, another arc please.

Is Greg starting the beginning of the end for the comic strip?

I remember that one! :)

Why do I get this feeling that Greg Evans is about to retire? They’re all graduating, getting married, retiring. Just like “Boy Meets World.”

Levi, not funny. It’s not legal here, and we do not break laws or endanger others just for our own recreations.

@Brdshtt-Once again, GoComics is not letting me use the reply function.-You are definitely a lot more entertaining than this current arc is! Thanks for giving me a reason to post on the site again…

Whether or not it happens in the strip, I can visualize Fogarty walking through the school doors for the last time with a thought balloon over his head that says, “Oh well, at least it was a job.”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO-ring!

Time to update Luann’s page on Wikipedia?*Couldn’t remember the name of Aunt Crusher, and she is missing from Luann’s list of relatives. Mom & Dad get short shrift. Gunther is still timid. Time to update page? (If you do, it is so important to be unbiased.)*And pertinent to this arc, the page lists Mr. Fogarty as a history teacher. Hasn’t he also been science & English teacher too? (Multi-faceted, Fogarty!)

Several people who visit the Facebook page (including me) also comment on the GoComics page….

Actually, the reason she “moved” for Quill is explained in the article linked to and cited and quoted above. She is the one who brought Quill back, for the purpose of giving Luann a steady boyfriend. Greg was the one who stated he was bored with his character, and he acknowledged that readers were, too. So he was brought back because of Karen’s input, and not because anyone thought that others were upset. – Also you either haven’t been paying attention, or are generalizing when you say that I haven’t been critical. I am in the “non Quill” camp. I was also vocal about Luann and Quill and the locked door. But he isn’t a low down character as TJ has been, and he hasn’t been despicable. He is just a “Teflon Tourist”, and a “Qcumber”, being “too cool” to be “blamed” for anything (The “Zack Morris Effect”, if you will)…..

And as “Sherriff” pointed out the other day, feedback is something that Greg appreciates here on GC, Twitter and Facebook. He takes the time to gauge interest through these (and other) methods. But as he stated on the “Studio”, he just doesn’t have the time to “comb through” each one, but he does gauge readers’ comments!

Brdshtt: That Greg Song post was too, too funny…LOL Big Time!!! ;)

I stayed away from “Luann” last night because I just could Not take another Fogarty comic at that hour…I’m back for more punishment tonight, though, with the waning hope that it just might be funny… ;P

“From Twisted minds come Twisted products…” ^Hey! I already trademarked it! See?™

Lol! True! — But I couldn’t help it if I had an extra "tiny uppercase” t and m laying around….

Okay, here! I’ll give it to you!
