Frank is pretty wordy. In fact, his words are measured by the footâŠ.

Good save, Mom!
ShagsCA over 9 years ago
Prudence is probably in her mid-50s and nothing for Luann to worry about. But what abut Frank?
Lion_Tamer over 9 years ago
Luann deer in headlights, Frank Cross-eyed deer in headlights.
SactoSylvia over 9 years ago
Quill has been totally oblivious to Luannâs discomfort when Pruâs name comes up. Makes me think Pru is totally not a threat for some reason â some reason Luannâs not yet aware of. Other that or Quilly is just oblivious. ;)
Lion_Tamer over 9 years ago
Or mom just gave Frank a wedgie.

Nancy sure knows how to interpret her daughterâs âdeer in the headlightsâ face âŠ

Pulled something for sure. Love Frankâs expression in panel 3.
JayBluE over 9 years ago
âLooking at Frankâs head in panel 1 and panel 2, I never really noticed until now how small his cranial space is compared to others in the strip.â^Nancy will probably tell you that itâs common on Frankâs side of the familyâŠ

Ha! Frank is obviously being pinched, HARD in that last panel. Too funny!!

Frank is pretty much as thick as a brick.

Prudence is 60+ and will give Luann some good life advice.
Caldonia over 9 years ago
So Frank wanted to charge the woman who wonât charge him for her play. Classy.
dlkrueger33 over 9 years ago
Canât wait to meet Pru. So far, the strip is not indicating that Quill is enamored of herâŠ.just that she is a theatre friend. Letâs see what happens.
Caldonia over 9 years ago
Even if she didnât charge him, sheâs doing him a big favor. So it makes no sense for him to charge her for the room. Why must he be made so impossible to root for all the time?

Put Luannâs rival in Bradâs room instead of Quill?Frank,you lout.
jrankin1959 over 9 years ago
Hey, the holidays are looking better and better, eh?
Cronkers McGee Premium Member over 9 years ago
Luann has a look of disbelief. These trials will make her a stronger woman in the future.
Sisyphos over 9 years ago
No doubt about it. The Coming of Pru is this seasonâs most highly anticipated event!What kind of an entrance will she make? How will Quill react? How will Nancy and Frank react? How will Luann DeGroot react?
Stay tuned!

Yes, Frank, Prudence Nolastname is giving you her show and her directing âtalentâ! For free! Which is exactly what theyâre worth. Tell Mr. Gray to cancel that Barbra Streisand concert he had lined up for the Fuseâs opening â youâve got yourself a real box office winner now!!!
ACTIVIST1234 over 9 years ago
Dad, sheâs giving you her show and her directing talent. And you are going to charge her RENT? Plus p.o. your daughter? Sounds like more than you or Pru can afford.
KeepKeeper over 9 years ago
Looking t his eyes and her hand, I think she just goosed him.

ShagsCA said, about 9 hours agoPrudence is probably in her mid-50s and nothing for Luann to worry about.
Well, you know what they say about older women/younger men.
Argy.Bargy2 over 9 years ago
Iâm still hoping to see Luann offered an interesting, exciting seasonal job in New York City, accompanying the kids from the afterschool program to some kind of artistic event. That way, she gets to see New York after all, and doesnât have to watch her parents and Quill fall all over themselves in their eagerness to welcome the great Prudence.
Maybe Luann can earn enough at that job to afford an apartment near Pitts Community College. That way, Mom and Dad can earn even more money by renting out both her old room and Bradâs.
And instead of spending spring break in New York watching Quill and Prudence, she can spend her spring break with a new best friend she meets in her new apartment complex. Someone who doesnât snark at her when she worries about whether a guy cares about her or not, and maybe someone who can introduce her to a guy who pays attention to her enough to notice when sheâs worried.
Life moves on. Never stay where you arenât valued.

Pru is no threat to Luann, at least not at this time.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
What Luann talks about with Quill is âLuannâ. I doubt that she has asked him to show her any photos he took during his internship in NYC, which is why she apparently has to imagine what Pru looks like.
cmbrach1999 over 9 years ago
Watch Prudence will turn out to be 50.

Mr. Gray is still a mystery, now we have Prudence. My guesses are always wrong (kind of like my football pools), but being a theater person, Pru must be a little weird.
doverdan over 9 years ago
This room issue is one I mentioned yesterday.Nancy can perceive Luannâs concern. Quill is totally oblivious..Either he is stupid (has half the IQ of Nancy).OR .Pru is so far from a romantic consideration that he cannot imagine the Luann might be concerned..OK . . . .that latter would make him stupid for not having described Pru long ago, and ending any such worries..I guess he flunks either way.
doverdan over 9 years ago
Pru is the new Dez. .Tune in next year..By the way, Prudence must be a girl. Quill calls her one.,And he was paired with her for some of the group activities in NY. .So it seems that she was also an intern in the program there. But it does appear she now resides in NY and is perhaps more into writing/producing than acting. .But who knows? Quill is too dumb to just tell Luann..We are not likely to find out soon. Consider the dragging out of the Dez âmystery.â .But Christmas may set the timing for this revelation . . . .. . . provided itâs not scheduled for Christmas â2016.â (Like the wedding date that will mark 32-year-old Bradâs 15 years of dedication to becoming a Fireman.)
locake over 9 years ago
If Pru stayed at their house they could keep an eye on her. Quill or Mr. Gray or anyone else wouldnât be able to visit her as easily without being noticed.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
So why hasnât Quill shown Luann any photos that he took in NYC (including Pru), or at least told her more about Pru than just her name? If the internship was such a wonderful experience, why havenât they spend more time talking about it? These people donât communicate with each other and seem not to have much in common. Surely that should have been clear to at least one of them long before now. Why are they still dating?

For all of you that think Frank has put their life savings in harmâs way remember their major investment was in a piece of southern California real estate. Having brought the building up to code and somehow managed to get it rezoned to commercial use they could probably make a nice profit on resale.

The look on Luannâs face⊠priceless. The look on Quillâs face⊠clueless!
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
Mr. Gray buying out both TJ and the DeGrootsâŠ. that would be an EXCELLENT idea!!! I like that one, Dave! Then, if Mr. Gray stays as a character, he could continue to drift into and explore the seedier, darker, crime-noir, ganster sort of plot. Removed from TJ and the DeGroots, it might be a pretty fun and interesting arc.
thebigboot over 9 years ago
Ah, good old Luann verse. Charge rent for the person whoâs not getting paid to put on and direct a play. Have to have a talk over it because their super special snowflake daughter may get upset and her feelings are far more important than a successful business.
RSH over 9 years ago
Itâs true. Quill seems only attracted to Pruâs theatre and drama skills. It is the only context in which he discusses her⊠ideas, talent etc. She canât be fifty because Quill sent Luann a text message from NY referring to a âgirlâ that he was paired up with. But she might be gay (as another poster suggested) and full of facial piercings or something like that, or marriedâŠ. drop dead gorgeous or really plain looking. One of two things will happen, either she fuels the fire, putting another nail in the Quill /Luann coffin or sheâs no threat at all for whatever reason. how many days or weeks do we have to wait?
ironman01 over 9 years ago
Poor Frank, terrible case of foot-in-the-mouthosis. Worst Iâve ever seen.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
> Mr. Gray arranges to buy out TJ and the DeGroots.>âBuy outâ Vegas-style? âThose are some nice shoes youâre wearing, Frank. It would be a shame to get them ruined in cement.â
Chuck374 over 9 years ago
Luanns face reminds me of that badly photoshopped picture of Adam Lanza from the Sandy Hook hoax.
RSH over 9 years ago
If true,
â⊠I would imagine she would want to get here soon. Very soonâŠ.â
then she doesnât have a day job or anything else to do. If she is a student then she would miss class for the rest of the semester⊠so we cross that off the list too?
RSH over 9 years ago
Luannâs face suggests that she is processing everything of the past few daysâŠâŠtotally bewildered⊠first Quill says they canât go to New York because of the need to produce an opening show for the Fuse and how much work that would be. So Luann agrees. Then seemingly moments later, suddenly his friend Prudence (from New York) will produce the whole show. Is this all just circumstance?

Luann, thereâs still time to make some plans to go to New York. Or anywhere other than where you areâŠ
Argythree over 9 years ago
Youâre right. Sorry, late nightâŠ.

Luann, I know where you can go where youâll be totally ignored. Itâs called ArcaMaxâŠ

Spoiler Thr33, extra points: Name the president that Luann is âimitatingâ, in her ending piece of the dialogueâŠ.

Yeah.. but I should have also said: ââŠin a kinda sorta relaated way, if you just squint a little, and slightly tilt your head to the left..â

for some reason, even though i am glad frank isnât my stepfather; his looks do remind me of my stepfather and i just felt a lot of disgust at the resemblance. i donât like my stepfather as heâs just a toxic man, thatâs why i am disgusted.
