Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 17, 2014

Its a sad time and its a hallelujah time… ;)

The “tracks of those tears” between them there seem to resemble more so an interstate junction…. – And, uh…. Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons lied to me!…..Or… maybe somebody lied to them… – To us guys, a tearful moment is like a game of Fizzbin…we’re not sure of all the rules, yet…sometimes, we wonder if you gals are “making ’em up as you go along”…

“Sentimental Agility”“The Postulation Of Posterity”“Memories Kept Like A Fine Wine”“A Lifetime Of Language”“Tears And Oxygen "“The Hallmark Of Humanity”“Lacrimals Are A Go!”“If You’re Happy, And You Know It…”

or“Will Somebody Please Stop Cutting Onions?”

We can all cry tears of relief, now……it’s taken SO LONG TO GET HERE!

An emotional moment. She finally graduates after (what… 18 years in high school?)

tears of joymesses of makeup

Female happiness is often incomprehensible to men.

I think Nancy may be overdoing it a bit on this “proud” aspect. The fact that Knute is graduating too shows that this “accomplishment” of getting a Pitts degree consists simply of staying alive for 12 years.

HAPPY TEARS! TEARS OF RELIEF weird is as weird does It takes one to know oneIf you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all

Well, my laundry’s almost done…‘Nite all! ;)-————————————————————————————“Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray; Along the cool sequester’s vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."(Thomas Gray, 1716-1771)

Thank goodness Luann inherited her Mom’s nose and not her Dad’s.

Yeah, I know… I was joking about the goggles! They say there’s a zillion ways to cut an onion to reduce tears, but due to the process that you mentioned, none are truly going to be 100% effective… – Actually, onions don’t bother me… I even like them raw (cooked, as well)….. my wife “hunkers down” in dread, when it’s time for a Gyro…

It’s gonna be a long week!

So, in your opinion, a minion will cut the best onion… but do they have to be in a union?

Don’t worry, with Frank’s camera you won’t be able to tell that they have tears on their faces…or that they have faces.

Posted this question earlier: what is going to happen now that they have graduated? Will this strip continue?

“And cut. That’s a wrap, people. Strike the sets.”

Awe! That made me cry mainly because it made me miss my mom who passed away. Luann cherish those moments.

Tears of joy! Luckily, the graduation gown will serve as visual evidence that this photo was indeed of a happy occasion!

Why not?

So Luann will graduate college in, what, 12-15 years from now? :-)

Ah, POOR Nancy.

The “Crying Season” Has begun.

At Luann’s High School Graduation, Nancy Wept and Cried.At Luann’s College Graduation, Nancy will Weep and Cry.At Luann’s announcement that She’s engaged to Pretty Boy, Nancy will Weep and Cry.When Luann INEXPLICABLY Marries Him, Nancy will Weep and Cry.When Luann HAS Her 1st Child, Nancy will Weep and Cry.

And Luann Leaves Mr. Oz because “things aren’t quite working out like she wanted and She and the Kid, need to MOVE back in with Mom and Dad until She SORTS Things Out,” Nancy Will Weep and Cry.

I never understood—and still don’t understand—all the fuss about high school graduation. Did Luann’s parents ever seriously think she wouldn’t graduate from high school?

I never understood tears of joy because in six decades I have not personally experienced them. The photo of me going over the finish line at my first marathon shows me gleefully excited, but I didn’t cry. Ditto the photos of me when my son married his longtime girlfriend, when I exclaimed “At last! She is finally part of our family!” Crying makes other people uncomfortable and it makes one’s body work harder to keep from getting sick. Crying from onions doesn’t count as a real cry unless you rub the onion juices into your eyes. Now that would be something to cry about.

Bernice’s parents exist. After all, they gave life to her and her brother. Because parents are expected to mete out discipline, they usually play a minor roll in a story about young people, if they are featured at all. Frank and Nancy and sometimes Gunther’s mom are enough right now.

Agree with you

Girls cry at HS graduation. Guys are more like “Thank goodness we’re leaving this hell hole!” ☺

We do know a lot about Bernice’s parents. Even theirpersonal drama..So they do exist. .And we have seen her brother, who should be at the graduation. If he does not appear and hug Luann aswell, it is IMO a missed opportunity to add new some interest here.

Mom either switched shirts between the processional & recessional, or else her tears have lightened parts of it!

“Greg’s not going anywhere”*BS & Sheriff, or on the other hand, we could play with this constant question a little.*“YES, Greg IS leaving!”*(to go to the grocery store, bathroom, mow the lawn, etc.)

Excuse Me, Gentle People.

For those of You who are on Facebook check out today’s “Luann DeGroot” if You hadn’t already done so, and take a gander at the alternative hair styles Greg had in mind for Bernie.

I WISHED He had gone with #3…..,

Only 4 weeks of summer left until she needs to start preparing for college. (Will Lu, too, change her look?)

How come TJ wasn’t invited to the Graduation?

i like #7 myself.

Yeah, either #3 or #7 (which I think is the closest to what he actually selected). I absolutely don’t care for the Tiff “Wagner-Opera/Firefighter Helmet”

No sir, not at all…

I think glasses are fine for Bernice, but she really needs different frames. These two TV-screens-joined-in-the-middle are not a good look for her (and likely not for anyone else, either).

You’re right. #4 does tend to have the mind conjure up strange things…

Yeah, I didn’t even think of ol’ Darth there…. Good one! :-)

When did Nancy change her outfit? Now it’s green!

Yes that is happy and proud ,though it would make me cry also it is specially true when your a girl

We saw the inside of Bernice’s house a couple times in the mists of the past. Once she and Lu were hanging out there, and once the phone was ringing and Bernice was saying, “Will someone please answer that??” (She was hoping Dirk? would call.) I’m sure Levi remembers that one.

And, uh…. Frankie Vali and the Four “Seasons lied to me!…..Or… maybe somebody lied to them…”^“Later in the song, they say that big girls DO cry.”^And that was the reason I said “or somebody lied to them”…LOL!

I like 7 also. As we know, her hair is naturally straight, so this would be an easy care style for her.
