Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 07, 2015
Transcript:
Bernice: you can't seriously be calm about Pru moving into your brother's old room?! Luann: What am I supposed to do, Bern? Quill says she's just a friend! Luann: Plus, she's really helping my parents, can I say "no" just cuz I feel insecure, threatened and sick to my stomach? Bernice: I guess not. But if you need me to despise this invader's slimy guts, just say the word. Luann: thanks, Bern. That's sweet.

At least it seems as if Luann finally has a friend (which is nice, considering she probably lost her love interest, and her parents are more concerned with their wallets than their daughter’s relationships…)

Just suggest to Frank that he really ought to charge Prudence more rent than he had planned to. Once Frank makes his “offer”, Pru will never show up, and the problem is solved. The blame is Frank’s, for being a total jerk, so Luann is off the hook.

She wouldn’t see any more of Quill that way. Her best choice is to find an interesting job in another city or state, and leave all this mess behind her. But apparently we will have to watch her get run over by a big Pru-bus.
Maybe the name of this ‘toon will change on Monday to ’Luannless’…

Hey, i Got a GREAT Idea that’ll SOLVE All Your Problems!
SWAP!
Swap Prudence with Gunther!
Pru can STAY with Gunther’s Mom and Gunther can STAY In Brads’ Old Room.
That Way, YOU Won’t Get a Case of the old “Green-eyed Monster” by Having Prudence Stay Under Your Parental Unit’s Roof!
Problem SOLVED!
Hey, YOU Don’t have to THANK Me…….,
Argythree about 9 years ago
The funny thing is (maybe not so funny), is you look at ‘Luann Againn’ for today, the parental units are dumping a load of guilt on her for ‘expecting’ stuff from them. Yet here she is, expected to accept their decision to move a potential rival into their home.
Yeah, she would be better off elsewhere.

Hey, Lu, it’s time you moved out anyway.
Caldonia about 9 years ago
It might take a month till we see her. The odds are good that no one in the family will ask questions about her till she shows up, like when Rosa didn’t ask questions about her uncle’s clinic before she got there.
krys723 about 9 years ago
I really want that Toni and Brad arc soon
nickel_penny about 9 years ago
wth kind of relationships did ya’ll have that a friend coming to town automatically dooms a relationship?
JayBluE about 9 years ago
Yup…among my first thoughts, as well…
TCoT about 9 years ago
Here’s a possible twist for you: Pru arrives, and Quill asks Gunther to do the costumes (after all- he DOES have the experience already). Pru meets Gunther, and takes a fancy to him. Tiff get her pretty little nose out of joint and fights for Gunther, because she actually LIKES him.
kenhense about 9 years ago
We just know that Pru is gonna win over Berneice.

I have a feeling that, before this is all over, Pru and Luann will become fast friends, leaving Bernice to sputter and swallow her premature anger….
Pointspread about 9 years ago
That’s what friends are for, Bern.
Alan Smithee about 9 years ago
So I guess it;s out of the question that Quill and this mystery woman really are ONLY friends as well as that she turns out not to be physically attractive by main stream standards and that maybe she and Luann become friends as well? Oh well.
Alan Smithee about 9 years ago
Ooh, maybe she’s Anne Eiffel’s younger sister and this is all part of her nefarious plot to return to Pitt and exact revenge for how they foiled her sister’s nefarious plots. Like out of that daytime drama, “Love’s Tormenting Itch.”
BobCu about 9 years ago
Pru of course is just Quill’s pal, and Pru will soon be Luann’s pal. This should be obvious to everyone. This comic strip is all about happy endings, which is a good thing.
Deezlebird about 9 years ago
Prudence has written a show and is an experienced director. There is no way she’s a college student. At least I hope this is the case.
egag21 about 9 years ago
I’m guessing Pru could be Luann’s grandmother.
Garison54 about 9 years ago
I’m betting that Prudence is in her 60s.
tuna1 about 9 years ago
I’m almost willing to bet all the money I have (about .37 cents) that Pru won’t be who everyone think she is.
Willywise52 Premium Member about 9 years ago
Hurry up and introduce her Greg.I’m feeling a bit sick to MY stomach over the whole thing.

Good ole Bern. :)

Can’t stay here another dayThink awhile, walk awayPeople wonder where she’s goneAll they see is a strange shaped stoneThey’ll never invade her now.
notbornyesterday about 9 years ago
maybe luann needs to move out and then her parents would have TWO rooms to rent out
Airman about 9 years ago
As with Dez, we seem to be in another very long “build up” for the entrance of a new character. Wonder if we’ll switch story lines for the next month before returning to Pru’s grand entrance?
Make Mine Marvel about 9 years ago
Every place I’ve ever rented (in California), I had to fill out an application covering such things as my age, employment history, marital status, and a bunch of other stuff.
If Frank and Nancy are planning to charge Prudence rent for the room (which I consider outrageous, given the points others have raised about the show), or even let her stay there for free, surely they would have requested such information. You don’t just hand someone a key to your home without some kind of background check!
I realize there are privacy laws about sharing such info, but I don’t think it would be illegal or unreasonable for Nancy to tell Luann not to worry.
This story arc has really gone off the rails in terms of internal logic. Worse than the insurance scam, worse than Gunther’s trip to Peru, it just makes no sense. Either that, or Q and L’s relationship really is incredibly dysfunctional, and we’re just not being shown how messed-up the two of them really are.
Time to move on, in more ways than one.

Tomorrow: Nancy and Frank are still middle-aged, and Luann’s room is still messy.-For the next 2 weeks: Brad and Toni give us ample reason to believe that the gene pool is doomed should they ever mate and reproduce.-The following week: Luann is on Thanksgiving break from Pitt CC, so she can unwind from the pressures of all the hard studying we’ve seen her doing since September. (Huh?)-Nov 30: The family goes to pick up Prudence at the airport, and they are stunned when Quill greets her at the baggage claim and she is 60 years old.-Dec 1: The family is further stunned when Quill and Prudence engage in a lengthy and deeply passionate kiss.
JimT8 about 9 years ago
Yesterday she was inside the dorm. Now she is outside. You are being more than picky today.
dre7861 about 9 years ago
Actually that is sweet of Bernice!
Sheila Hardie about 9 years ago
Yes, you can actually. Your feelings matter just as much as everyone else’s.
Luanaphile about 9 years ago
Do the Evans have a long range story arc in mind, or do they just make it up as they go along? The latter would explain why Luann doesn’t seem to know anything about Pru yet.
Luanaphile about 9 years ago
Pru is a pod person.
seismic-2 Premium Member about 9 years ago
Another “prediction”: Frank’s telling Prudence that she must pay him rent to stay in his home will make Pru pout and start to cry, which will make Frank feel a teeny bit guilty, since Prudence turns out to be 12 years old.
urdolf about 9 years ago
Excuse me, but it takes a lot of gall for the de Groots to charge Prudence rent if she’s taking the trouble and expense to travel from New York, provide her own script, and produce the show for the de Groot’s own grand opening. If anything they should be paying her fare dwon at least.
seismic-2 Premium Member about 9 years ago
And when you receive the script for Prudence’s holiday show and see that the title is “Ninja Reindeer Kill-Fest”.

“and Bernice dresses like Steve Jobs all the time now.” LOL!!

Chuckle. Bernice is a good friend.
jenbrown1017 about 9 years ago
I have a feeling Pru will turn out to be a lesbian….they have not had a LBGT character on here yet.
ST Joe River Premium Member about 9 years ago
I think she will be a older woman.
doverdan about 9 years ago
Is Piro the invader with the slimy guts?
doverdan about 9 years ago
She seems very steamed up about something.
locake about 9 years ago
I wonder if Prudence and Mr. Gray already know each other, from Vegas. Maybe they are exes.
seismic-2 Premium Member about 9 years ago
Another abrupt change in the story was last year’s introduction of the “new” cast, namely Bernice’s dorm mates at Moony. We had a big to-do about meeting them, and then they all disappeared in the week leading up to Quill’s Halloween show, and we never saw any of them again until this year.
seismic-2 Premium Member about 9 years ago
I agree, but it’s weird that Team Evans chose to drop the whole cast rather than just that one character. Since the whole purpose of letting the kids graduate from high school was to introduce new characters into the cast, that decision seemed to negate the whole new direction of the strip.
RSH about 9 years ago
Hey… I wonder what the destiny deck would have to say about Piro and Bern… changing the subject a bit…
the borg about 9 years ago
i wish i had a friend as true as her
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member about 9 years ago
nah, it’s more fun to drive you crazy. I play you like a fiddle. Dance, my friend, dance!
doverdan about 9 years ago
Maybe Pru will turn out to look just like Luann , or Tiffany..Doppelganger..Of course, it would be funnier if she looked just like Quill, or maybe Gunther or even Ox.
doverdan about 9 years ago
If she looked just like Rosa, it might baffle poor Gunther.
doverdan about 9 years ago
Now if she looked like Elwood, Luann might have little to worry about.
doverdan about 9 years ago
Did anyone give the odds between Sunday being :
Frank is dumb / incompetent.vsLuann is messy / inconsiderate..??
Argythree about 9 years ago
-there are good odds we return to Frank/Nancy and/or Luann.
SPOILER
Nope
Argythree about 9 years ago
SPOILER ALERT
Fans of T and G will be
Happy…
Argythree about 9 years ago
By ‘happy’, I mean happy to see them. Period.
Argythree about 9 years ago
LOL!
kaffekup about 9 years ago
At least Lu could keep an eye on her. Better than her moving into a spare room at Gunther’s…
