Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 26, 2016

I thought it’d be fun to freeze to death looking like an eskimo in kabuki makeup, all right?

Interesting weather they have there in Pitts.

Might as well go back inside, Luann.

After a while, Nancy seems to get this look on her face, like: “Okay, I see where this is going….”

“Weather….Or Not”“Fresco Kid”“Dust In The Wind….” (♬♪)“Yard Work "“Inside, Out”“Conditional Enjoyment”“Pati-oh, So Close!”“Hit The Deck…Then Hit It, Again”“Terms Of Ensmearment”“The Grass Was Greener, Back There” “Plenty Of Atmosphere”“There Goes The Sun…” (♪)

or “Breezy Rider”

103 here today, with a dewpoint of 72.

What is 9-3÷1/3+1?

It’s in the 70s when I get up to walk.

I, too, have had similar experiences with “reading outside,” Luann. I feel your pain!

If the comic strip is set in Southern California it should be in the high 90’s out side.

3 divided by one third is the same as 3X3. Therefore 9-9=0plus one equals one. If I had written the equation I’d have written it 9-(3÷1/3)+1

Uh, Lu?

You DO Realize that there are Snakes, bird feeder raiding Bears, HUGE Bugs and Annoying Door to Door Salesmen “Outside,” Right?

STILL, I Gotta ADMIRE Luann’s GUMPTION.

She’s gonna Make Gunther a Wonderful Wife, Some Day!

Uh, I MEANT “Some Guy!” She’s gonna Make “SOME GUY” a Wonder Wife, Some Day!(Ducks)

Chilly? Supposed to be in the 90s today with humidity about 97%.

water_moon is wrong. legaleagle48 and Flash Gordon and eventually jmraynor are correct. Why are we posing elementary arithmetic problems here?

or lately sounds like DFW area. temp of 85 with a THI of 98……ugh! HOT

Chilly…..It ain’t chilly here in Georgia.

Open the window.

That math problem w nebulous mathematical grammar and punctuation got me looking for some fun examples in English where changes in punctuation alter interpretation.https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-sentences-where-punctuation-changes-the-meaninghttp://nationalpunctuationday.com/meaning.htmlSome of those are real fun!

Those of us who have spent most of our lives living in coastal California know about the marine layer that can turn a roasting hot day into sweater weather.

Anyone who listens to NPR might have heard the story this morning about college students who have so few resources that they have no living expenses, no apartment, no dorm space, sleep on couches, no money for food etc. A graduate of Cal State Fullerton was interviewed. Essentially he got by with “a little help from his friends”. I think this is Piro.. an illegal immigrant or child of illegals, grew up on the streets of New York, watched silent films (out of necessity) to avoid being heard, caught and deported; maybe got caught up in a gang for a while (the shaved head star as a symbol). He may be really bright and have done very well on an entrance exam, applied to a southern cal univ (UCLA or UCSC) where the weather is warm and you can sleep outside; maybe he got a scholarship for study and that’s all. He likes “silence” and “blending in”; he’s a man of few words. These are survival tactics for illegals. He wants his degree and to avoid deportation. His looks suggest Latino descent. This is my new take after hearing the story this morning. I missed part of it as I had to leave the room for a few min. Piro’s initial affinity for parties fits in. Parties are a source of food and friends which you need to get by. Someone said a while back that this strip takes place in CA.

At least she’s out getting fresh air! Or it was, until the diesel went by. And until the gnat went up her nose. And until Brad’s tacos reached his lower intestine.

Sun was out when she started but by the time she got settled out there, the sun had gone behind the clouds and the winds kicked up.

We both missed “On The Outside, Looking In”…

Man how do we got off on math problems on comic strip blog? I just wanted to comment how sharp and adult looking Brad looks in the last frame. He has really grown up. Having a fiance like Toni has done a lot of good things for him.

The great outdoors would be great if it weren’t for, you know, the outdoors.

The answer is 1. The first area of confusion for many is not doing the division first. The second area of confusion for many is the division of 3 by 1/3. It is the same as multiplying 3 by 3, which is 9. Some divide 3 by 3, which is not correct. Ultimately, 3 divided by 1/3 is 9. 9-9 is 0. 0+1 is 1.

OH SHUT UP, BRAD!

what is with the endless math posts?

“After all that work, I’m gonna stay out here until I freeze.”.(No cold weather here in Florida. We have a few other problems but cold isn’t currently one of them.)

“In a crossword, I once defined ZERO as “Ten minus one?”.”.I can see how you could do it by removing the numeral one from the tens place.Mathematically, you subtracted one ten by another ten, but you should be ashamed of yourself. (I say this with a snicker, though.)

I meant to put in Bill Cunningham’s obit yesterday, but w Piv having a rough day it went by the wayside. Just as well. They fleshed it out a lot. The man was a living monument – literally, as you will see:http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/style/bill-cunningham-legendary-times-fashion-photographer-dies-at-87.html

Spoiler alert:Not exactly Feynman’s back of envelop calculations, but Bernice has a talent. Now, to turn it into a fun game with an audience (which CAN be done but i sadly doubt they will)

Must in the Midwest or true North!

That’s life summed up.
