Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 28, 2014

That was a fast ‘white Christmas’! I guess Quill can handle the cold weather better than I can. He’s not even wearing a coat…

Aah, the customary “year-end walk through the park”. Just like last year’s argument at the food truck and the snow globe and the “walk of reconciliation” that followed… minus the argument part… and the snow globe… – Wow, so many people are matched as “opposites attract” (including friends who are night and day, but come together to make a whole)….. – People here think that their December is normal. People who live in the “upside down” part think that their “strange little quirky season” (just kidding!) is normal. I’s just a funny thing about us a people, that we tend to associate whatever is in our familiar domain as the “be all, end all”….

“Searching For The Blizzard Of Oz”“Is She Going To Nebraska? Maybe I’ll Ask Her”“Baked Alaska And Fried Ice Cream”“Poles In Reverse”“Hemi-Speres Of Influence”“Going Forward In Reverse’“A Strange Customs Agent”“Looking California, And Feeling Minnesota” (♫)“You Put The Lime In The Coke, You Nut!” (♫)“A Dizzy Thermostat”or…“You Say Potato And I Say Something That’s Clearly Not A Potato”

Um… actually it’s summer in Australia, not winter.

In Australia, this time of year is not called “winter” anything, because it’s NOT.I’m pretty sure they don’t ascribe any season to the event, and possibly just call it “the holidays”.Where’s a true Aussie when you need ’im"

I just love the way “Yank”(Luann) and “Oz”(Quill) look at each other. Can’t wait to see what happens at Luanns’ New Years party.

I am mad…………… they only showed Quill in the “winter holidays in Australia” imagination image

taking aside the difference of gender and between their respective country’s culture and their level of confidence in themselves………………. they are actually very similar

Unless that was a sunset,shouldn’t the sun be higher? And winter is not a sweater weather.

Winter. It’s always freezing cold, raining, threat of rain, icy weather and threat of icy weather. I do not like any weather that keeps me off my motorcycle

Hey, you guys are in SoCal; no snow, not really so cold. Try the Upper Midwest, Luann. Quill will freeze into an Ozsickle!

I wonder, if Luann flushed their relationship down the toilet in Australia, would it spin the opposite way?

I had an Australian friend at school in London. He was terribly homesick on Christmas precisely because it was so weird an alien, all that cold and snow when Christmas to him meant swimming pool and heat. As for snow, he had never seen any and thought that it always fell in big fluffly golf ball size flakes as shown on drawings or in TV (that was in the early 80’s). He was very disappointed to discover small flakes and freezing winds

In Saskatoon, it’s supposed to go down to -32 C.

The frost from their breath should have looked like little hearts.

I agree with L! 80 degrees in the winter is just wrong!

When did little Luann get such a small head on such a long body?

Gee. I wonder what holidays these might be. Interesting that the only group we can’t be tolerant of is the one that started Christmas. Amazing how scary God is. Perhaps this is Harry Potter: (He who must not be named)! Shame.

Ask Him about His “Former” Girl Friends in the Land of Oz, Lu.

You KNOW You’re going to, Sooner or Later…..,

Hey, has anyone noticed any “sluggishness” in re: the GoComics server today? The graphics seem to load rather slowly, if at all.

Hope everyone is enjoying the rest of their 2014!

Qu – you’re being silly. In case you didn’t know, in Australia “winter holidays” would occur June-August! Why not just say “Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years”?

One of the air bubbles is a laughing hippopotamus, another a butterfly. Can’t make out the third.

@wannabeaussie @bsqnbay“I grew up with a tradition among my friends of going surfing on Christmas Day. To me, snow and cold is “just wrong”.”.For many around here it was water skiing.

Thank goodness, they’ve gotten out of the house. Now, Frank and Nancy are going to get some romantic privacy. New baby on the way.

Air bubbles “brought to you” today by….“Rorschach, Incorporated”… – “Whether it’s cookies, dust bunnies,.giant cannibal butterflies or three legged sloths, our versatile products are what you make of it… Hey- it’s not our fault…. it’s your imagination….

It’s not that Oz winters are so warm and sunny, it’s that Oz summers happen during northern winters.

Gives new meaning to the lyric: “Has he lost his mind?”…..(♫)

Ha ha ha!!!!!

Down under here we have the holiday period variously known (In Victoria at least) as “Christmas break”,“Summer holidays”,“End of year holidays”. School ends roughly mid December and starts the new school year end of January.I’ve never known a cold Christmas (now 50). Last Thursday was 24C. Beautiful day. Lots of BBQs. It was 31C today. Saturday will be 37C. Australian’s get a minimum of 4 paid weeks leave a year (and it can accumulate). Most will take a few weeks off at this time of year.
