Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 20, 2016

What such doting children Frank and Nancy have.

What is Frank tokin’on?

I take care of my Mom if she’s sick, its a great feeling.

Look, Brad and Luann are finally seen by their parents as full-grown, responsible adults.

The strip can end now.

A nice Sunday break. Now – back to the interestin’ stuff…

-Frank looks like he could be faking it.

Seems like he’s got a heating pad on his lower back. Wonder if it drives the reading on the thermometer higher?

“One Flu, Over At The Parental Nest”“A Cold Case”“Let’S Not Panic”“The Twenty Year (or so) Payback”“The Bonds That Mature”“A Return On Your Investment”“That’s What We Had ’Em For…”“Under The Weather…Or Not”“Sick As Thieves…Who Are Also Sick”“What Really Bugs Me”“Snif-fle House”“Ill Effects”“There Were Clouds In My Cough, Fever…” (♪)or“One Sick Pony”

Boy, would it be something, if Luann’s middle name were Florence and Brad’s was Bradley Rex Morgan DeGroot…. -Though if they’d had all boys, it’d seem pretty convenient if Frank had insisted on naming them Chuck And Ralph…

“I hope it is not a rectal thermometer.”^Don’t have to worry about that. Anticipating this, Luann knew where they kept the ones from when she and Brad were babies, and wrecked ’em both…

Shannon has had an excellent influence on Brad

All that love and care when the kids were ill? That they NEVER thanked you for? This is when you KNOW it was worth it! Children project the lives of those who raised them, through the prisms of their own unique souls. What shines can be a marvelous rainbow, indeed.

New poll up if you missed it: What was your major?

Are Frank and Nancy dreaming?

Wonderful children to be helping out when needed. Makes me feel good!

In reality, did you see the Grandfather who invited his 6 grandchildren for hamburgers and only ONE showed. Time to disinherit them.

You take care of them when they are children in hopes that they will take care of you when they are grown

And Speaking of “Pay-Offs,” have either of You Two “Ailing Entrepreneurs” been Keeping an Eye on Mr. Gray/Grey, and His out of control Nephew, Les-Lilly, Lately?

I’ll BET They are having a BALL with Your Rapidly Fading ‘Enterprise’…..,

I suppose that’s one advantage of millennials never moving out. My son moved over 500 miles away.hmmm.

Not the same Luann strip as in Sunday AZ Star.Wonder why?

Reconsideration of yesterday’s strip.*Got to thinking last night, from Piro’s point of view, Tiff is going to be anything BUT selfless. She’s going to lead him on, use him, manipulate him just to do a friend a favor. That’s mean.

Today led to two treasures. Some are OT, but number four here fits for Nancy and Frank:

and some excellent advice that i think we can assume Les is not inclined to take can be found in these (The first sent by a friend after i sent him the second for fun.):

Glad to see Luann and Brad being nurturing today.

the acknowledgement of Franks’ comment.

In the long run, it pays to train kids well.

What does this have to do with anything?

Holy moly! Good children! Lucky Nancy and Frank, if they can just shake off their cold symptoms….

Oh, and it illustrates closeness in the family, which mght become another relevant point.

Extra hugs to your son from us here, Sallymargaret!

My mother, may she rest in peace, used one on my brother and me. Saying, assume the proper position. She put Vaseline on it.

Ha ha ha!!!!

““Payoff? You’re Talkin’ ’Bout Payoff?””^Ha ha ha!!! Mora the same!!!! – “Nasal Maneuvers”^also golden!!!

SPOILER ALERT

I’ll bet I know one of Jay’s song titles for the next part of the arc:

The Heat is on… (and not just in memory of Glenn Fry)

And Gunther waits, like a tightly wrapped gift…

“Electric ones don’t go in your mouth, they go in your ear, I believe.”.Nah, they’ll go wherever you shove ’em.

They taste better, though, if you stick with a single orifice.

-LOL!!

A friend of mine, upon hearing recently that my son is expecting to have a daughter, Lexi Michelle Green, sometime around the middle of May, told me that grandchildren are the reward you get for not strangling your children.(Not that I was ever tempted, but I think I understand what she meant.)

Is it me or is this just a teensy bit stereotypical?
