Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 18, 2014

AAAAAwwwwwwwwwwww! ;)

“Love Hurts” (♫) “Nobody Nose The Troubles I’ve Seen” (♫) “Clowns At College”“By A Nose”

“Superman’s New Disguise”“Warning: Kissing A Clown May Be Painful And May Result In Unintended Laughter”“Someone’s Knockin’ At The Door, Somebody’s Ringin’ The Bell…” (♫) “Silly Love Songs” (♫) “Making A Pretty Wig Deal Out Of It”“A Fool And His Money Are Soon To Have A Party”or“What An Awful Big Zit You Have There, Grandma!”

No, that was foreplay… This is… …

Is Quill! supposed to be Superman or Mr. Mxyzptlk? This is sloppy cosplay.

Brdshtt: (I hope I spelled your moniker correctly!) I left you one on the bottom of yesterday’s posts… ;)

Some below-frame “poink!” ing as well?

Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner, Argy ! It probably is a “when the mood strikes” sort of deal, a “one-off” as needed, as far as the “Bonus Features” are concerned….

Maybe they’re being funny so they can forget about all of the work that goes into a relationship, especially one like theirs. About mid-week it finally occurred to me that L & Q were just being their silly selves and hoped the audience (us) would go along with it? Sounds good to me… ;)

True! – I was actually thinking of “Don’t Send In The Clowns”, too, but then where would I go?

That Luann. Even making out with her boyfriend, she just can’t quit clowning around.

According to their page, it was there for the purpose of letting people see what the “syndicate” rejected (most likely for print)….

“Beep!”

Luann may or may not still have that gig. But JMO, she probably is done with it, as she’s about to hit the books “full time” in the fall. But if she still does, she’d probably be one tired person (maybe she even uses it for part of her costs at school). – They both worked hard at it. –

“Quill still works a lot in his free time, and Luann whines that Quill isn’t with her 24/7. She still has her kid job I believe, but as we’ve seen, Tiffany is the one doing all the work.”

I’m starting to prefer Tiffany over Luann. Luann is a decent human being and a more-or-less normal teenager. But, Tiffany is hardworking and ambitious along with being a decent human being. Quill, Bernice, Gunther, and Delta all share those same traits. Why do they prefer Luann over Tiffany?

Quill and Tiffany being together makes more sense than Quill and Luann. But, love knows no logic and they have fun when they aren’t arguing.

Did you know that “Enditol” also makes a handy dandy cleaner for errors? – After you apply it, just whistle and walk away…. - Also works in case of an audit…..

Sorry! Forgot to also include Tiff’s highlights! –

;)

There’s something between us. I think it’s your…

Well, its off to see the Wizard…and I don’t mean “OZ” LOL First, I have to collect IS Katie off of the deck…she is enjoying herself in the cool night air. ’Nite all!-—————————————————————-“My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfies us both.

Click here, if you’d like, for “Every Love Song” by Greg Kihn…

(song parody if done by “Wierd” Al Yakovic.

“Everybody loves a clown (and so does Quill)

Not a “punch” line, Quill; more like a “poke” line (clown nose to the left eye). But smoochies should make up for that….

Love is a hurtin’ thing, Jake.

Thank goodness they’ve finally finished their four plays.

The first piece of clothing to go will be the clown nose. Then the gloves are off. Literally and figuratively.

“STRESSED?!?”

Stressed about WHAT, Lu? The rising price of gas? Turmoil in the Mid-East? Russia going RUSSIA, Again?

Enough. Someone get that Big Hook and Drag These Neo-Vaudevillian Wannabes OFF Stage……,

-getting hit by the pig snout still hurts-If you don’t like a main character…

-Quill! lost the sight in his left eye-why bother to…

-It’s stressful-stress yourself out by reading a comic? Find one you like. Presumably one where all the female characters have nonexistent noses, and are happy with whatever scraps of attention their love interests find time to throw to them..

And Luann’s message to Tiffany:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIA1_I9t4yg

“Stress can age you before your time. Just look at the president ..” ^I remember something shown about Abe, and how he had a “younger, fresher, more optimistic” countenance/face at the beginning, and as time wore on (shown in a series of photos from the start of his presidency, to the civil war, to his last days), you could see new “worry lines” and wrinkles appearing with each advancing picture.

I did contemplate famous clowns through modern entertainment history, such as Bozo, Clarabelle….Homey…. Krusty….

And now back to the couch for . . .

Ahhh, young love! Problem is that everyone seems to have a goal – except Lu Ann. Sure, she is going to community college, but heading towards what? Girl, you have to take care of yourself and be prepared in case young love doesn’t turn into lifetime love.

nah, much easier for some to b**** and complain …-The “complainers” keep this place honest and not let us forget that Evans can improve.-Howtheduck, Reallybad, Seismic, Locake…they are the heroes the Luann comment thread deserves, but not the ones it needs right now. So we’ll yell at them. We’ll insult them. We’ll tell them to leave and go read something else. Because they can take it. Because they’re not our heroes. They’re silent guardians. Watchful protectors. Dark Knights.

’don’t gimme no lines and keep your hands to yourself’

My Goodness!!!! it just occurred to me that I hope they were not changing into and out of those costumes in front of one another!

I guess we’re even, then, because you are usually less disparaging. Now that I realize you are just part of the snarking set, I won’t trouble you with comments anymore.

Good grief, Lu! You’re wearing boxing gloves, and Qu is aasking for a “punch” line. As if kissing were better than a pun!

… and I know “Luann Bonus” has Greg’s signature, but MikeyJ, our resident artist, has been gone a long time. Do you think he might be the one…?

The schnozz went right in his eye — good job Lu hasn’t got a long and/or pointy nose.

Is that a clown nose on your face, or are you just glad to see me?

If one thing leads to another. Then they should run to a bank, get into the vault. Why? They can practice, “safe sex”! I can’t believe nobody saw that coming.

> no, the gerund form is correct for this usage.>In the expression “snarking set”, the verbal “snarking” is used as an adjective rather than as a noun, and it is therefore a participle rather than a gerund.

Yes, but you put “Bozo” in it, and I was speaking about that part of it….

“You Don’t Hug On Superman’s Cape”!" ^I especially like that one! I don’t know why Jim Croce’s song didn’t even “tap on my shoulder” when I was calling up different thoughts…

Forgot to mention, your “elephants” are going up against “da birds”, tonight on the ol’ “dirty diamond”….

Time to see what’s happening upstairs…IS Katie has mysteriously vanished… =-O

I understand that Quill will star in a revival of an old TV show. Eye Spy.

> no, it is a compound noun, and thus a gerund.>A compound noun is a phrase acting as a single noun. Often it is an adjective plus a noun, as in the case of what is discussed in this forum (a “comic strip”), but it can be two nouns (“fire truck”). In the case of a verbal plus a noun, the verbal ending in “-ing” can indeed be a gerund, but perhaps more often it is a participle. Consider the compound noun “diving board”. Here the verbal “diving” is not used as an adjective (since it is not a board that dives) but as a gerund, since “diving” is an action for which the board was built to facilitate. Now consider the compound noun “singing group”. If one considers the verbal “singing” to be an attribute of the group (i.e., a group of people, who are singing), then it is used as an adjective, so it is a participle. If one considers “singing” to be an action that the group was formed to accomplish, then it is used as a noun, so it is a gerund. In the case of “snarking set”, I considered that to mean a set of people who were snarking (and thus used as a participle), but you had in mind a set of people that was assembled for the action of snarking, so it was used as a gerund. I apologize for my misinterpretation, and I withdraw my objection.

I also left out “Officer Big Mac” and a bunch of others…

Sort of same thing (but not really) with Pappa Johns and Dominos. Only with them, the one left Dominos to start up the other… that “Better Ingredients, Better Pizza” line must be the corporate version of a couple breaking up, and always taking a “subtle shot” at their ex…

I was afraid she was going to end up like Brandi Chastain (after the one world cup victory)…

You mean that thing that came from “Dirty South” hip hop? I can think of other names for it…(ones that would still be polite) but none with the word “music” in it..

Ha ha!!!! No, I hadn’t, actually! – Just sampled it…. as usual, nobody over here realizes that the rest of the world has “improved upon” the patents….

Yeah, and it’s actual singing ,as opposed to autotune “Britneyfying” for an artificial hook….

No, and of course won’t be featured at the awards shows. Not that those are “legitimate” anymore, anyway.

BAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!
