Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 03, 2014

I wonder what “magical” means to Gunther… ;)

When are we going back to Gunter & Rosa’s Peruvian adventure by the way?

(At ORMouseworks: ) Well, I pegged it, huh?…At least for Monday, Lol!

“Don’t Cry For Me, Australia”“Peru’s Blues”“Façade? Fer Sure!”“You’ve Made Your Bunko Bed, Now Lay Down!”“Plaid Man’s Bluff”“Reading Between The Graph Lines”“A Square Dance Around The Subject”“A Molehill Inside A Mountain, Inside A Molehill”“Life On The Edge Of The Volcano”“The Mayor Of ‘May Not’ "“Brave Old World”or“I’m Not A Sweater, So Stop Puttin’ Me On!”

“The Show / Party was a hit.”Yeah, they’re kind of liars too.

Magical huh? I wonder how ‘magical’ it really is

What about Delta? Haven’t seen her in a long time. What’s she doing?

Why is Luann making all of these snarky and cynical comments about her friends all of a sudden? Jeez.

“So I’m assuming Rosa has told Luann he’s not having a good time?” ^Luann knows Gunther inside/out. And vice versa. Gunther knows Luann almost better than “Quill!” does. Same way parents always seem to know when “Hey! Howya don’?” really means: “You got five bucks?” or “Sorry about your car”….

A good tip-off for Lu may have been Gunther’s use of the word “magical”, as if it would have people “convinced” it was “splendiferous” and “jolly-rific”… she probably figures that even he wouldn’t say that to describe a good time…

Got to go corral IS Katie who is barking her little red head off at who knows what?! ’Nite all!-——————————————————————-It is not best to swap horses while crossing the river."(Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865)

Quill! still doesn’t have a car, apparently. So Mrs. Berger drives him to and from Moony Uni every day? Or maybe he just stays at home with her all the time, and he shows up at Moony about as often as Luann shows up at Pitts.

I guess I’ll “check in” later on, myself. We’ve gone from “barely 70 degrees” to “straight 40s” and windy in a matter of days. It’s been wreaking havoc on my sinuses…

Mr. Perfect? Gunther FORGOT to Add: “Wish YOU Were HERE, Instead of Me!”

NOOOO!!!! They can’t possibly say that the show/party was a hit! After all, the “party” half of that was all Tiffany’s doing, and she must never be portrayed in any positive light whatsoever! That’s why, after all the build-up for the Prom, we saw almost none of it, since showing kids enjoying it would be admitting that Tiffany did a good job of making all the arrangements. So just say that everyone (all 12 audience members) enjoyed the “play”, and leave it at that!!!

I love Quill and Luann. I love their college daze. I rather be in their world, than in this crazy real world where there is so much angst and competition.My oldest is a freshman in college and is so happy. She loves her classes and her roommates. She is in a theater group putting on a play in a couple weeks, and a dance co. doing a performance soon. She just got a lead on a job with a roommate, and is so excited about that. It truly is a great time and I am happy to be reading this comic at this time in our lives.

So, we need to discover if Lu is relying on past experience with Gunth, or if she has current info. from either Gunth or Rosa as to how he’s doing. I’m going to speculate that it is “past experience.” We know that Gunth sent Quill an e-mail, so that is current. I guess we’ll see, as this week unfolds, how they’re really doing (assuming this part of the arc carries through – it may not).

I’m glad all the “regulars” are accounted for (Knute, Crystal, Ox, etc.). We need Delta to check in, but other than that…

That’s not lying. That’s wishful thinking…

Guth is on his way toward becoming a major organized crime lord in Lima, Rosa is his main squeeze.

So, will the story line now go back to two other “high school” characters? Can’t we just leave them in Peru, the same way that Aaron Hill was left in Hawaii? After all, the whole point of allowing the cast to age was so that they would be placed in new environments and meet new people. Yet now it’s back to Gunther and Rosa, instead of meeting any of the “shadow students” at Pitt CC.

Peru…it’s a magical place.

Peru has overtaken Colombia as the world’s number one producer of cocaine. I wonder what sort of “magic” Gunther has discovered down there…

“None of Dez’s friends showed up. Nope, and we don’t need ’em.”

Yes, it’s not the Luann crew’s fault that their ill-advertised freshman “party” requiring paid admission on a big holiday Friday night wasn’t successful.It’s *Evans*’ .

Quill’s raising Gunther as a topic of conversation on the drive home might seem a bit wily, if it were anyone but Quill, trying to gauge Luann’s residual feelings for her former friend….i don’t think we’re going to visit Peru, however, though obviously I could be wrong.

Even the Moony cast members (other than Quill, and director Manezone) didn’t attend the party, although of course they were in fact already there! This means that Greg Evans simply has no interest in them. 50 years from now, whoever is drawing this strip will show us these same 10 or so people, playing bridge together at the Pitt Senior Center, with no other old people in attendance.

And tomorrow’s strip will show Gunther having a “magical time” with a witch doctor? Or is he having this “magical time” with Rosa?

Gunther is surrounded in the upscale plastic surgery clinic by insecure but wealthy Peruvian women in the their fifties who have come in for tummy tucks, skin peels, and face lifts, and who want some young guy to come up to them and tell them how great they look after their operations. Gunther tells them that they are knockouts, and he is practically all alone in a foreign country, and couldn’t they maybe be good friends. Magic!!!!

Magical could mean Getting sawed in Half, or the one where swords are plunged into a box with a person in it.

“Now that Donny is back, everyone that called me Donny while he was gone needs to apologize to me for doing so.”*RB*Or, they should apologize to Donny.OR, you might be talking to yourself?

“…and never realized that he was invisible….”^Wooooowwwwwwww!!!!! Ha ha ha ha!!!!

"I highly suggest that you go back and look through the last 38 days or so. " ^Just did. It wasn’t pretty.

I figured that, so I started from the top and scrolled down. If the mods saw a few of them (not even mentioning the ones “defaming” a few posters) the “United Nations” would become jealous… they don’t like anyone having more flags than they do….

As one whose previous account became “invisible” (GoComics never explained), I can tell you that you can do everything a “visible” poster can do, except get a reaction from anyone else.

Peru…it’s a magical place.-I thought that was Tahiti.

BTDT.., Trust me, it isn’t. It’s basically France on a remote island. The only two islands in the whole “Society” chain with potable water (or that did when I visited last in 2006) are Tahiti itself, and Bora Bora (and the only reason Bora Bora has it is that there’s a brewery on the island)…. 8-O

If Gunther were on Tahiti, he better be extra careful and stick close to Rosa. Let’s just say, some of the “ladies” who might try to hit on him (the real “hotties” actually) aren’t whom they appear to be… He’d best “check the plumbing” before proceeding any further…. 8-O

No, it wasn’t pretty at all.. Especially his comments on 10/15/14 ! Some comments (regardless of who the comments are from) are probably “subjective” in offensiveness. But those are a direct violation of GC rules!

Seems so! – Maybe they’ll see those dates mentioned…

“Use nice words when attacking the comic.” ^(Excuse me, please!) _ The comic?_ The comic??? What about the people (a list of them, to be sure!) that he has attacked? Not to mention, respecting the GC rules, just as you have stated, before?

Next stop, Peru?

"It is not primarily the comic that is being attacked. There are some pretty vicious/sexually tilted posts to others on the board as well as giving the exact dimensions of his “part.” ^Yeah, this is the specific thing that was uncalled for! I was meaning this_,as well, when I was referring to it to RB. Should have worded it the way you did.. – Actually, to add one more thing, he also mentioned specifically using …said. parts… in reference to specific comic characters, in a particularly egregious and obscene way …

LOL, yes, I remember you having that, and also the record of all the “Donnyisms”! And they clearly show what happened!

You’ve pretty much said it all! – And also (to agree with what you said)- for him to say what he has, in such a gross manner? “Wow” is the one word, and still doesn’t “scratch the surface”….

Yeah, that would be nice and peaceful (as it seemed to have been, recently)… but everyone would be posting as usual, and he would come and cause “contusions” or generate a lot of negative posts, that would cause people to be “put off”. And no one would “take a shot”, but he would be the one to start. And now, it has started back again, 38 days and counting … – If you read his above (or even recent/previous) posts, wouldn’t/shouldn’t you say/have said something to him, the way you have to others for similar things?

And as you are also a proponent of going by the GC guidelines, wouldn’t you agree that it is especially offensive, the specific talk about “doing things” to characters, including Tiffany? I’d think that in seeing that post, that you in particular would be outraged…

“How did ORM provoke him? This individual really needs help beyond what we can give him here.” – “Something is rotten in Denmark…” ^

Right! On all counts!

“I can understand some of his anger, even when he wasn’t here a lot of people were ragging on him,” ^Then how do you explain his posts about OR Mouseworks? – Like I’ve said, I’m one that’s all for mutual respect. Was able to enjoy a “negative turned into a positive” with several posters, that way. But I wonder how you’d feel, once he started a “diatribe” on y- o- u?…. hmmm…..

What ARE you talking about!!! And I certainly hope you are not who you say you are! ;)

YAWNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…Losing that hour on Sunday makes it hard to stay up waiting for the new strip to post…

groannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! ;)

How did you lose an hour? We got the 1:00 to 2:00 AM hour twice!

Well, I never did, but if you need an apology, here’s one… And I hope to heaven this “Donny” person is not the original “Donny”… ;)

Sorry, RB2, but I really have to laugh at this one…obviously you don’t know the “real” Donny, if indeed this is him… ;)

What a horrible thing! To use such circumstances! So sorry for that happening!

“…it’s like talking up a dead goat’s rear end.”

Oh, lordy, That’s funny!!! ;)

Aagain, I think if everyone here is nice to Donny, he will be nice back." He doesn’t have a nice bone in his body…in fact, I’ll bet he doesn’t even know the meaning of the word… ;)

“…hopefully he can be molded into someone that focuses his angst on Luann story arcs and away from the other commenters.” Never happen … ;)

Well, I can tell you, it’s probably all in the same way: “Never let the facts get in the way…” -The question would be if such was done on purpose ,.. to try to purposely “stir the hornet’s nest”… either way, though, not cool (to say the least!) – I had thought that maybe there was some sort of real life changes that caused some calm, but I see there wasn’t. Either that, or a “falling back”… it’s tough to say this, without sounding “demeaning” or “condescending”, but I do hope there’s “better days” for all, and that there can be “hope and help”, too….
