Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 25, 2014

“Visual memory” when it comes to the parking lot… eeeeh… not so much.

See? Life’s comedic ironies….. – Wonder if she named her car "Waldo"… or "Carmen"…..

A hidden talent.

Yep, everything in its place! LOL And how many times have I done the Same Thing! =-O

“Found And Lost”“I, Dedic”“Parking Space Relations”“Organized Chaos”“A Riddle Wrap Combo With Mystery And A Side Of Enigma”“Accidentally On Purpose”“Dude, Where’s My Car?”“You Can Tune A Piano But You Can’t Recall A Honda”or“Memory…All Alone In The Parking Lot…" (♫)

IJB! (GoComics is at it again…doesn’t let a note be attached to a post)…Anyway, I like the “Memory…All Alone In The Parking Lot…’” one! How many times have I been in the same boat…even with writing down the aisle! Nutzzzzz! ;)

Hahahahah! ;)

Maybe it’s abstract visual memory… where reality never enters into the picture.

Ha ha!!!!

You don’t want to know… =-O

IJB…you’re right on the “…once you park…” I even try to eyeball the distance from my truck to the store that I am going towards. 9 out of 10 times…it doesn’t work! I need a car that is painted chartreuse! ;)

LOL! ;)

“Brought to you” by…The new ‘Slow Jack’ alarm , invented by Mo Lassis…. and the pride of Plotz’ Devices…. “Hold your horses! You might need ’em!” – and by… – Lunar Roadside Assistance.. “If We don’t get you going.. in 30 days, you can call us back! Guaranteed! Or 30% off your bill!”

Then people would just be accused of changing for cosmetic appearances….

Re: “…the orange Nissan Xterra…” Now That is a Great color for finding one’s way in a packed parking lot!. I once had a Dodge Dakota whose paint was turquoise blue. Since it is a relatively rare color here, it wasn’t too difficult to find it in a parking lot…providing I wrote down the aisle number/letter! (And, would you believe, I was waiting for a traffic light to turn to green…and, right on my left there was the Exact Same truck, right down to the wheels and camper! It was Really, really weird to see that!). =-O

Actually, my SIL has a pink T-Bird…’56 or ’57, I think… She and her hub collect cars…I think they are on #10, just like the number of their cats! ;)

Heheheheh! ;)

To be honest, I’m really more partial to this , a Deep Midnight Blue … darker than Navy, even darker than the current Houston Texans Steel Blue helmets… or a color like this , close to “Cobalt”…

Trying to find your car in a large lot is just extra exercise.

I have heard that some Universities and Colleges don’t allow Freshmen to bring their cars on campus. If they have to go to town, the students have to take a shuttle. I guess this isn’t the case at Mooney.

Quill doesn’t have a car, does he? He must have caught a ride with Luann. Or is he driving the Berger vehicle these days?

Or maybe he drove the food truck.

Good for Luann! She has a real talent! —Just not for the parking lot. (Hey, it happens….)

“I Picture Every Object In Its PLACE”. – Luann_______________________________________________

EXCEPT for the Debris Laying Haphazardly About in HER Room.

It Begs the QUESTION: Has Luann Truly and Suddenly Discovered a Hidden Talent or does it means She’s being Her old Controlling and Manipulative Self with the “Objects” in life?

Only Gunther Berger Knows for Sure. And HE is Lost in the Treacherous, Hidden, Forbidden Jungles of Pe-Ru…….,

Pink carnation?You outdid yourself today.

The term “idiot savant” comes to mind, even though Lorraine is clearly a genius.

Very likely, yes

LOL!!!!!!!! Thanks, you made my morning!

It’s the silver Corolla with 5SVT on the license plate.

@ nkbush1787: ^Thanks! Sorry I couldn’t respond sooner. I guess actually sort of what Luann is referring to, only with words. Like a mental “card catalog” of ‘cross references’, which seemed to come in pretty handy in school. I also have enjoyed writing (mostly song lyrics, poetry, parodies and some prose, even speeches) since I was young. There’s also my affinity for word association/pattern games like “Chain Reaction”, “Lingo”, or even “Mad Libs”.– And the rest, I guess is a combination of “studying” at “Wotsamatta U” (taught by “Rocky And Bullwinkle”, Lol!) and a few other “parodying influences”…..- And one more help: When I enjoy the comedic stylings of “penologists” here like “Brd” And “JPuzzleWhiz” and a few others!

It’s spatial relationships, I did a test on that once, scored in the 99th percentile. It’s visualizing and thinking in 3D for me.

We watch as Mr Evans makes the transition and LuAnn becomes a women.They grow up so fast these days. Nice work Mr Evans.

That Uni Moonie parking lot does not seem to have light posts to put aisle signs on. But then . . . do people pay attention to them?

> and of course the Comics Curmudgeon site has just gobs of readers with great insight into how comics should be done.>As opposed to the “insight” commonly expressed here (implicitly), that comics should be done exactly the way that Greg Evans does them, always.

Hi, everyone! My ISP’s electronic brains got all scrambled up…Big Time…last night! It is still a bit constipated this morning! Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up with the conversation later on in the day! Have a good one! ;)

Re: “haven’t seen invis. tape”….Ha ha!!! That’s gold, there!

Ha ha! Another good one!

The same could be said for deodorant with “invisible protection”…. How do we know if it’s there or not? Uh…except for one way to find out….

Nobody’s prfect, Luan.

Like many people, I “misplaced” my car in a Wal-Mart parking lot…in searching, I found 8 others identical to mine. Fortunately, I used the car alarm to determine which one was actually mine.

When your chartreuse car breaks down, you can tell the tow truck company, “It is EXTREMELY! green, green with an explination point, and when you see it, you will know what I’m talking about.” That was my 1971 Ford Ranch Wagon after we got its light yellow-green color changed to the cheapest green paint color the shop offered. It was then so much easier to find than a silver Corolla.

“I know, right? Dave is never respectable to people who disagree with him.”^That is not the meaning I was intending. Point your reel somewhere else, if you please. No bait in this stream, today….

Well, hopefully there can be some “cents” made of all this, today (100)…

Hand it to Greg – he knows how to build a fan base.

Ouch. That’s good. But should that have read a pink-car-nation? Just asking.

Ah, Luann, you’re a typical work-in-progress teenager, but in your confusion, you are dull. Your life lacks the edginess and cliffhanger aspects of Gunther and Rosa’s journey into the unknown. The only danger that Luann faces is Tiffany having a costume malfunction on stage and stealing all the attention. I can only hope that Crystal will drag Knute off on a Goth adventure to Stonehenge or Transylvania.

Luann should just use the car alarm. Oh, oh, I hear several alarms going off. So much for that idea.

Very true. That is why when I pull into a crowded parking lot I usually like to park next to a mountain or something like that.

Some malls that featured outside lighting on the lot itself also hung numbers on the poles so you could remember the number nearest your car. I usually park in the same place each time I go to the mall so it’s not that hard to remember.

Much Appreciated! – ( I figured you did know….. just couldn’t suppress the urge to keep silent on that one…. a bit of “release and cleansing”, if you will…..)

“Very true. That is why when I pull into a crowded parking lot I usually like to park next to a mountain or something like that” ^If the Statue Of Liberty is around, I wonder if I had driven all the way to New York. by mistake.. or even Vegas….

For me, I try to associate a “street name” with something I can “bandy about” in my mind as I go along (if it’s a city street and the place is a bit further than a space), or if it’s a stadium, I use a bit of “Mnemonics”, like if it’s section “D-2”, then it’s " R2D2". So that’s what I try to do…something along those lines….

“….Hmmm… Maybe you’re on to something there”…." ^Ha ha ha!!!

I can understand how you phrased that. Most of the time, people hear “DOC” and immediately think “Big Boss Man” or “Orange Is the New Black” or “Classic Stripes”. There’s a lot to “Corrections” than just the prison parts. Our DOC is put under an umbrella of a larger department, called “Public Safey And Correctional Services”. They also process the fingerprints and background checks for various state and local departments for job candidates and also those processed in the penal system.

-In Health Information/Medical Records, I’ve had to deal with requests from the various hospitals associated with DOC care that treat the patients. I’ve run across a few other areas too that are not directly prison but are under the DOC/Public Safety/Corr. Svs. umbrella…– Speaking of “Orange”, I hear a DOC somewhere was going back to the stripes, because “Orange Jumpsuits” have now become fashionable to wear. The head of the system (I forget the locality) even mentioned that people have worn such to the malls …. The head of the DOC stated that as their inmates go out on “work study”, it would be confusing and detrimental for public safety (and of course too easy for escape), which is the reason they are changing their jumpsuits….

Comes from years of having a messy room and knowing where things are within the madness.

" I wonder how many of them wear them that way not realizing that in the prison, that was to let other inmates know you were “available.” ^No lie! Pet peeve of the Mrs. and I. And sadly the predominant “fashion of choice” among the male “hip hop” crowd who “pride themselves on their “manliness” ….

On the rare occasions I go to a mall, I usually note the name of the store directly in front of the end of the parking lane I park in. For example, last night I went with my wife to Arden Faire Mall.

Yeah. The only reason I go to my main mall anymore is for my hair salon. Otherwise, there is no other reason, as I can get pretty much what I need on-line. Maybe once a year during Christmas shopping season I go to find things i can’t find on-line, but that’s it.

Hi! This is the first time I’ve been able to get back onto “Luann!” My ISP crashed Big Time (!) last night! ;P Anyway, I did get a giggle out of your post! ;)

Haha! on the “out of auto body” experience! ;)

LOL, well I wasn’t going to “split hairs” over it, as it still seemed to point in the same direction- everywhere but covering what it was meant to cover….

Re: “invisible tape”…oh, geeze, had to pick myself up off the floor from that one! Couldn’t catch my computer chair in time! Fortunately, IS Katie wasn’t in back of it! =-O

Re: parking next to a mountain…hahahahah! ;)

You’re on a roll, today!!! (Thinking of using a paint trail in a parking lot, but not ending it right at your own car)… ;)

Sent IS Katie’s breeder (actually he owned the sire; Katie’s dam lives in Ontario, Canada) a picture of her today (didn’t get through the first time). He loved it! It is a slightly different one from the one I posted here on GC. She’s still got that sassy look in her eyes, 100% Irish Setter! Better go off and do some things…and, rest my fingers! See y’all later! ;)

I explained my reason for saying what I said about Weird Al to you. I did not mean to insult either you or your mother. See July 23 Luann. If you feel that I’m said the wrong thing, then I’m sorry.

Just feel the lovek.(Saw LUCY this afternoon, highly impressed by Scarlet J)
