Luann Bonus Material by Greg Evans for September 22, 2014

Here is a warm welcome to you! Hello Jonathan Upchurch!

Welcome! I think we have seen the future! (Karen writing and Jonathan drawing.)

CR*P!That means we’re doomed to a week of “flashbacks”.

Love your style Jonathan

Very good work! Welcome aboard!

Geez, you think Jonathan reads these boards, whereas Evans doesn’t?

@Meh, I’ve noticed that the newer artists tend to read and reply to the boards. It’s really cool when they do.

Great work! Hopefully this means that the strip will continue beyond Greg’s eventual retirement, if he chooses that route.

Let me add my 2 cents to this. Welcome. I see you getting awards in the future. Good luck.

Good WORK, Mr. Upchurch!

Welcome, Jonathan! I’m enjoying your contributions to the storyline!

as does Tony Rubio of “Daddy Home”

and Dan Thompson of “Lost Sheep” and Dan Dougherty of “Beardo”

I am impressed! I thought this was a rerun; instead, it is a reimagined flashback.

The family ties are strong in this series and I love it

Good to see both Karen and Jonathan contributing to this strip — I know Greg is about my age, and presumably will think about retirement in the next few years. The way is open for the younger members of the family to continue on with the strip, rather than it slipping into reprints à la Lynn Johnston or Bill Watterson. There are plenty of interesting storylines being progressed simultaneously in this strip, and it is good to think they may continue for the foreseeable future!

And just because not every contributor gets a personal response does not mean Greg or other members of the family don’t read these posts! But frankly, I am happy to think of them spending their days on the strip, rather than reading posts, many of which are not (sorry!) terribly useful.

Really enjoying this!

Love the artwork, Jonathan Upchurch has done an excellent job!

I like your strips, J! ;)
