Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 05, 2014

Mrs. B is still at it! ;)

Speak for yourself, Gunter’s mum.

Soooo….. “Home” is the the new slang for… "Mom"…… – If Mrs. Berger keeps stirring Quill’s tea, turning it into a tornado like that, then her house is going to start having yellow bricks in the driveway……..

Gunther sent an e-mail to Quill, but his real mood was questionable… ;)

She just can’t help herself lol

“Stir Crazy”“Signed… ‘Happy In Peru’ "“Old Habits Are Hard To Break Take”“Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Man-Boys”“Tempest In A Teacup”“Displaced Sugestion Theory”“Fits To A Tea”“A Full House Beats An Empty Nest”“Nothing Trumps A Lump”" Misery Mrs. B Loves Company"“You’re Peruvian Your Point”or“The Mothership Misses You”

Hmmmm…that can be taken two ways! ;)

How about three? ;)

How does one get a line crossed over a word? ;)

Quill looks like the Vampire Le Stat.

Thanks, Brdshtt! ;)

No wonder Gunther turned out the way he did, she needs to see her faults and grow up

Yes, indeed!

“Scoop”? What’s she offering them that comes in scoops instead of spoons?

Had an early morning today (!)… So, after I find IS Katie, it is off to the second floor to enjoy my electric blanket! (IS Katie likes to sleep in her extra-large Vari-Kennel right next to my bed, so I would not be surprised if she is waiting for me upstairs as she is not down here with me). ’Nite all! ;)-—————————————————————“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember of overthrow it.”(Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865)

Hypocrisy at work.

“Boys Need to Become Men???” Yeah, I’m Sure that EVERY Mother in America Would Gleefully Send Their ONLY Son Off Thousands of Miles Away to a Potentially DANGEROUS Foreign Country With a Pushy Beautiful Babe Without a Moments Hesitation, RIGHT, Nancy DeDroot? E-Gad, THIS Woman!

Pretty Boy? LOCK the Bedroom Door, Make Sure the Window is NAILED Shut and Keep a Whistle Nearby.

…..And a Can of MACE….,

Mom looks pretty young yet. She should get out there.

My Mom is still mothering….and she’s 97! And I don’t mind, God bless her.

It’s been a long time since I saw a comment this long. Is Donny back?

Empty Nest Syndrome anyone?

…and are Gunth and Rosa in separate rooms? Pretty sure Luanne would like to be in that situation.

Rrrright, Mrs. Berger. Anything you say, Mrs. Berger.(Luann gets up and tiptoes slowly back toward the door.)“Run, Quill, run,” she screams, “Don’t drink the ’tea”!"Too late, my pretties! Hehehehehehe! [diabolically]Mother knows best!

I never noticed before that Luann has glaucoma

One out of two ain’t bad

Yeaaaaaahhhh, Ms. B is still going “cold turkey” without Gunthie to give her a “smothering mom:” fix. She needs a little more withdrawal time.

As far as Gunther’s dad is concerned, there appear to be some inconsistencies in the story. I think Greg/Karen will have to set the record straight. Nice story there @Brdshtt. :) But I was thinking more along the lines of, “if she did Kill him,” it was a HD/SD domestic violence type scenario… Ms. B doesn’t strike me as being a “Black Widow” type. Otherwise, Quilly better get the heck outta there quickly. If he finds a brand new freezer in the garage, it’s too late for him… 8-0

Now you know WHY Gunther is happy to be in Peru

yeah, good luck with that

Ms. B is lonely. Time to introduce her to Mr. Fogerty.

She is beyond creepy and so is “Gunthie”

Don’t take this the wrong way, but, as an aspiring (and never published) short story writer, I’m going to offer you a gentle suggestion. Don’t quit your day job…

Both versions of why Mrs. B. is a single parent could be true: Maybe Mr. B left the family and then died a couple of years later, while the family was still holding out some hope that he might eventually return. It is also possible that neither one of those stories is true – maybe he is actually in prison, and the family is too ashamed to admit it. Of course, maybe there never was a Mr. Berger, and Gunther is a…

I’m sure this isn’t the first time Mrs. Berger has “stirred” Quill’s “tea”. (And why hasn’t he taken off that heavy coat yet, he’s “home” now. Or can’t Evans draw a puffy shirt?)

Mrs. Berger is something of a stereotype; the old-fashioned mother who became so absorbed in the lives of her child or children that she had no real life of her own. You can see by the photos that decorate her home (frame one) that everything is about Gunther.-It would be interesting if she were allowed to change, just as we’ve been hoping Luann and her friends would change once they get to college. But the last change Mrs. Berger needs is a man like Fogerty coming into her life.-Maybe she needs an interesting career (she must work outside the home, but I can’t remember any discussion about it.)-First off, she needs her own first name. Does anyone remember her ever being called anything but ‘Mrs. Berger’?

Yup… Mrs. B’s not gonna let that hussy Luann anywhere near her “Quillie”

Mrs. Berger needs to get up with Mrs. Horner who will clue her in on how to get on with your life after ending up alone.

Soooo when is Luann going to inform Miss Berger how much of a liar her son is?

That’s some push-up bra Mrs. B is wearing!

-“but I know he misses his … home …”-Interesting premise. Here are a few additional alternatives:-1. but I know he misses his familiar home -2. but I know he misses his delicious meals and his home-3. but I know he misses his mother and his home

HA! Love it.

Apparently, for Quill and Luann, the Guess Who said it best…“No Sugar Tonight”….well, maybe in the tea…..

:) Very creative. So, if Greg ever decides to write a screen play to satirize the comic, Luann (just like was done in that series of Brady Bunch films that spoofed the television series), he has an interesting plot line he can further “flesh” out. Bravo! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Thank you for the laugh. The story was well written and fun.

““but I know he misses his … home …” "

htd – she’s projecting her own feelings on him. She means, “I sure miss my little Gunthie.”*Happens to lots of single parents— which is why good friends help them find either community (volunteer work) or a mate.

“but I know he misses his… deer and antelope on his home… on the range”

I admire ambidextrose people. Ambi-sucrose too.

And especially his pocket protector…

Sweeney Todd?

@Seismic and RB2: “…and Gunther is a…” ^Jedi Poet…. and didn’t know it…….

But wouldn’t she have changed Weenie World to a Berger joint?

groan…

If that hair ever relaxes she’ll have a great Afro. Either that, or she’ll look like Richard Simmons.

I sure hope not. Do you know the full story (if it IS the full story) of Chuck Barris? The guy was (is?) talented, but kind of a mess.- He worked for Dick Clark, wrote a song that was a hit (I think it was ‘Palisades Park’), but also wrote a book called “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”. The book was about a spy for the CIA, and he said it was autobiographical…-The Gong Show was just one of a series of creations in his life…

What, no cookies with that tea?Quill and Luann must be famished seeing as Tiffany failed to provide even her favorite wienies in BBQ sauce at the “party”.

Earlier, someone inquired as to what Ma Berger did for a living. Ma Berger took over Weenie World and with the particular grind she serves, she renamed the restaurant to “Sweeny World.”

Ya know… that was my 1st thought after reading your “Freezer” story… ;-PPP

Although, my experience with ol’ Sweeny was with the Angela Landsbury / George Hearn Broadway Musical.

Did you ever see Angela Lansbury in “Mrs. ’Arris Goes To Paris”? – I believe it came out in the early 1990’s.

’Fraid not. It was either Sweeney or “Murder She Wrote.”

(Gong Show: ) Was just looking at an episode of C.H.i.P.s, where part of the sub-plot had a whole lot of celebs were taking part in a “disco-skate -a -thon” charity event. Guess who showed up with his paper bag, but no groceries in it?….

There is also that rumor that Chuck Barris was a spy. Would’ve been nice if maybe if Julia Child had to “grill” him on that-…..oops… poor choice of words….. how about “politely ask”.?…

(cue buzz sound fx:) Wrong-o!– It was M.C. Hammer, in baggy parachute pants…..
