Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 12, 2015

Well, those two guys’ sculptures are rather interesting.

Wonder what Jock was trying to convey… – Hmm- two drain openings on Jock’s piece. Looks like a “double-action” toilet… – I would talk about Emo’s display, but I’ve got “nothing” to work with…. – No, actually, I can … One could ask: “What are you staring at?” And the answer would be: “Nothing.” – If one were to compare Jock and Emo’s… “works”,notwithstanding their respective titles, they would both have one thing in common: They both have to do with "voiding"…

tsk, how derivative; Marcel Duchamp already did that…

Did Mr. Jock merely copy Marcel Duchamp’s famous 1917 art work “Fountain”?

Our heroes!!!!

“I’ve Got Plenty Of Nothing” (♪)“Automatic Depreciation”“The Potty’s Over”“Skip Over My Loo”“Toilet Humor”“A Void At Great Cost”“M.T.”“Drawing A Blank”“Flush With Excitement”“Apparently Transparent”“A Knack For Lack”or“Not So Great Expectations”

Oh Lord this is too much! LOL!!!

How much is “Plops” selling for?

And to think my childhood plan was to go to college. It is propaganda machine.

Hey, I have one just like that I’ll sell for a lot less than $700

I’m glad to see that Captain Emo has put a $700 price tag on “Void”. Potentially, it’s a great money-making idea: Claim that someone took “Void” and didn’t pay for it. Collect money in exchange for not calling the cops.

Although now that I think about it, that’s more of a “T.J.” plan.

Actually, I’m kinda impressed that Jock even came close on Emo’s art.

Well, “voiding” is what a toilet is for.

I thought sure Mr. Jacques’ work was the painted brick.

The crowd is gathered around the painting.The expert is expounding on the deeply profound nature of the artistry.The artist breaks through the crowd, shakes her head in irritation, rotates the frame ninety degrees counterclockwise, nods her head in satisfaction, strides away.

Where’s Bizarro when we need him? Get these jokers OUT of here!!!

well, you all wanted to know where “jock” and “emo” were …

“Emilio” (emo) piece of art is easy to carry and blends with everything

Cool, the boys are back and they have made creative submissions. Abstract art—I guess I’m the only one around who likes it. Now if they only had decent names!

I rather doubt those are eyes. That’s where the waste goes.

Is it just me or does that last one look like an Ewok?

Art and sports are alike in that so very few people are proficient and so many are critical.

Actually the toilet looks very proficient.

I had to laugh. In 7th grade art class, our teacher brought in enough large salt licks

to where there was one for each student. We had to carve and chisel them into a piece d’ art. I chiseled out a rather nice looking toilet.

Toto

Toto, I have a feeling you’re not in Tokyo anymore…. ;-PPP

Now how often do you run across a Duchamp reference while reading a comic strip? Well done, Mr. Evans, well done.

Although it does remind me of when I went to a modern art exhibit at the Hirshorn Museum in DC. I went into this huge blank room that was empty except for a pile of old newspapers in one corner. Imagine how stupid I felt when I told the guard that someone had left a pile of trash in the room only to find out that was the “artwork.”

Oh, Great.

The Caveman Submits a Toilet and Old One-Eye Submits NOTHING as “Art.”

Writing My Congresswoman and DEMAND that She Submits a Bill to De-Fund the National Endowment for the Arts, NOW.

Emo’s one-eyed stare is priceless.But, guys, given the name of Jock’s piece, I don’t think those darknesses are supposed to be dual drain-holes or painted eyes…. Yeah, ewww!

looks like the instructor is fond of dada

The current state of the world is in big trouble.

ah yes, I’m very familiar with this particular genre of art, it’s called “a show set up by a pretentious ass who doesn’t know what the pieces are.”

“note how Evans cut off the sign about “Jock” ’s piece right where his real name would have been shown !”^Heh, heh, for his “protection”…

They want $700 for the “void” piece? If purchased how would one display it in their home or gallery? Art is in the eye of the beholder if there is something to behold at all.

Actually, I was just joking about the “dual-action holes” being in the toilet, here, just because it was something ‘interesting’ in the drawing that “stood out” to me.– But, there is such a thing as “multi-drain” toilets (especially with a view to conserve water or to provide alternate sanitation or waste/urine removal options):

I think the art on display here would receive a rave review from critic John Cleese

It’s obvious from his price point that Mr. Goth doesn’t have loving parents he expects to shell out money for their child’s handiwork. And on that note; will we have a bidding war between Frank and Quill! to see who “loves” Luann the most by purchasing her “art”, when actually it’s true “worth” would be determined by someone unrelated to her buying it?

It’s a zombie Panda.

Then turn it right-side up, you doofus!

Enough voiding and plopping, let’s see if this arc can end tomorrow with anything of interest. .So far it seems a just filler, to indicate that the semester is ending. .Did Luann drop all her other classes? Frank will want his money back.

Those aren’t drains….

Oh, all this has roused the Blabbing Beast! When a couple of the granddaughters were quite young, they would give critiques or identifying explanations of their, um, “works.” The works could be families of varying sizes, or letters of the alphabet, or . . .

Remember that the names Emo and Jock are only the monikers that we have given them here. Team Evans has never heard those names ~ since they take pride in never paying any notice to our comments..If ever given actual names by Team Evans, the two guys may turn out to be named Percival and Fauntleroy, for all we know..Actually, I’d just as soon that they now fade away . . . forever unnamed.

Of course, Viper and Sun got named and then suddenly faded away ~ along with the mysterious packages and the ferret, and most of the dorm plot. ,Mr. Gray seems to have been left speechless, though he may well return. He could actually say something. But I doubt it.

DavidHuieGreen said, @LDover“Did Luann drop all her other classes? ".Nope, we’re just focusing on the most amusing one. . . ."-——————————————.Glad someone has found it amusing.

Jock, what an imaginative use of the concept “void”.*“Plop, plop, fizz, fizz.Oh, what a relief it is.”*(Paper mache, not bas)

Last panel…toilet seat…resembles the Martian from My Favorite Martian when he’s getting ready to blast off from Mars.

I like the idea of the salt licks being carved. That is a good idea.

Woah. Where is RB2? I have been away a few days, but he does not have a single comment today that I noticed.

:) So, either Greg does not want to name him, or he is waiting to reveal a name for a later time.

So they are “Mr. Jock” and “Mr. Goth” ~ or maybe not (if it’s all Zebo’s sarcasm. .I think “Emo” is perhaps a better name. .I don’t recall who gave that name to our little Cyclops.

Oh wow and Mr.Goth’s real void looks like it is priced at $700. But maybe his grade is just one big void.

Emo’s self portraits were consistent with his VOID..

$700 for a “Void”?!!

His is meant to stand the other way ‘round. That means the mouth placement wouldn’t make loads of sense. But it’s not important.

Oh, oh. I must have missed something big during the last few days. It appears that RB2 has somehow been removed. I see no comments from him on any of the last few days (even the last prior day I was here, when I remember reading some of his comments). Would anyone be willing to give me a synopsis of what happened? I do know that he and a few others did not get along well. But, still, I never thought he would get removed. I tended to like his comments, even if they were often at the far end of the spectrum.

I suspect that the Cyclops is creepy enough to have been the one that ate half of Luann’s “head” sculpture, thinking he’d find some tasty brains inside.

@Night-Gaunt49 :Mr Goth apparently agrees with the description as he didn’t correct Zebo, although the goths I know would have told him “YOU don’t define me, my name is ****, use it!” They are not shy or withdrawn people. And they wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a knit cap.BBC News – How are goths and emos defined?

Master Goth is fearless and giving the subject its due.Master Jock/Jacques is happy, therefore David is happy for him.

@BrdshttOhhhhhhh, I get it now! Lol! Talk about “empty,” or in my case density :PP

Love it, hahaha! That should be my new motto!

"*_"interesting …wonder if Greg has an “eco-toilet” that he used as a model !"_*^Good question! Or maybe he encountered a few in his time in Australia?

Hope it’s good results!

“JPuzzleWhiz said, about 12 hours ago@Dave.53.or rather, “doodoo”

“Doodoo doo doo, Dada da da”

(Dave53:) *”careful, someone will call The Police …"*^(Me [re: Dave and JPW]:) LOL!!!

"*_"I recently found out that Tom Dawes of the 1960s pop group The Cyrkle, wrote that jingle!"_*^Good catch!

Apparently, there’s supposed to be an “eye deceiver” going on in the strip (vis a vis an optical illusion), as alluded to on the FB page, regarding today’s strip:

“*_Perhaps you’ve seen the one on the left, but the one on the right?”_*

And it uses one of the more famous optical illusions, as shown on the Luann FB page which can be viewed here…..

Hope all is well…

OMG, a call out to Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain!!!
