Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 31, 2016

Hair was obviously thinking of “Electric Barbarella.”

Well, Bernice’s plan is starting to go south already.

Next in the door will be Gunther, who will assume that Hair is bothering Bernice, and will run to her rescue by smiting Hair with his tray of popcorn…film at 11…

Best laid plans of mice and women.

This is supposed to be held in the Common Room.Doesn’t seem very large. ????

So Hair’s voice is the same as Piro’s????

Why is the other locus called Dez’s Room?.Isn’t it also Bernice’s room?

So who’s left for Luann?

Argythree said, .So Hair’s voice is the same as Piro’s????=====Odd.Seems unlikely..Hair is always shown as screaming loudly, mouth open a mile..In sharp contrast, Piro seems almost a Mime.

Just talk to him.

Next day’s comic: Hair falls asleep on the love seat and snores loudly. Everyone else who is about to enter the room figures they’ve got the wrong place (no silent movie, just a snoring clown), and they all go to see Dez’s movie…

Slider pitch. We all went out swinging…

And this is what happens when you use subterfuge to try to get a date.

Nice collegiate irony with the Duran Duran T-Shirt.

Offer soap and water that should chase the riff and raff off.

She’s gonna have a full house. I’m glad it isn’t left only to Gunther to spoil her plans.

It wasn’t a very good plan from the start, Bernice. This is just the beginning of the snowballing cascade of Things Going Wrong with your scheme!

This could just end up being a week of Bern playing “Shoo, fly! Get off my couch!….er, love seat!”.

I knew someone else would end up on the couch. Just thought it would be Gunther. I’ll bet Piro doesn’t even show!

Hair is smoothly engaging his “comfort seeking radar”, by popping himself down, and showing up early andahead of everyone else…-Guess Bernice is hoping to find some “change” in this couch…as in a “change of persons”…-She’s also finding this couch has a magnet. It keeps attracting everyone else!

“Love Seat Defeat”“A Stray Hair”“Un-Settling”“It Behooves You, To Move”“A Laid Back Move, Smoothly Prooves A Relaxed Groove"“A Couch Bro-tato…With Some Butter”“Film At Eleven!…ish…”“A Cat In The Love-Bird Seat”“Anything But Love”“So Spoiled, Victor!”“Up-Pole-stery Position”“A Case Of ‘Cause, And He Wrecked It!’ "“Float On In Like A Butterfly, Sting Like An Unwanted Behind In My Chair”or“Hair Removal”

Piro shows, but the room will be full of people, so he’ll leave because he is afraid of crowds. The mass of bodies gives him war flashbacks. (Also why he prefers silent films).

I hope he’s wearing that Duran Duran shirt ironically.

Hey, Stick Around, “Hair-Ball.”

Good Old Gunther is bringing enough Sodas and Popcorn for EVERYBODY!

Bernice, I gotta admit. THIS “HAIR-Brained” scheme was a HECK of a lot BETTER than You inviting Star-Head" to Your Dorm Room so that just the TWO of You could Watch the Movie A-L-O-N-E.

(Predictable Sarcasm OFF)

Guess it’s now a We’re Just Friends-Seat !

6Nice seeing Hair again. This could be an interesting week. However, I have not been overly enthused about seeing Gunther get all gussied up and planning to go to the Silent Film Festival.I was also noticing all last week that Gunther is seemingly reverting more to his “old” look… his “scruff” is becoming more sparse, his shirt is more of his “old school” variety and is buttoned up to the top. To me, it has the feel he is becoming his old self to a large degree. Some of his old self was good, some of his new self was good. I just hope he keeps the “good” things of both if he is reverting.

well, it was Dez’s room before Bernice moved in; tho rightfully she should be referring to it as “Dez & My” room ( "Mine and Dez’s "?).

To quote several wise commentors, “What could possibly go wrong?”

All the women show up for Barbarella; all the men show up at the activity room.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode “Burr Under my saddle” or “Hair up my butt”.

And this is why we act all grown up and just talk to people we like, or want to know… As Dr. Ruth once said. Quit playing games moron and get on with it. Ok, maybe she didn’t say that, but she should have. She was more along the lines of see a therapist or go fap…

…and folks, this is why the direct approach always works best!

So I have been off the grid doing Memorial Day stuff, and I am getting caught up with the outcome of the zany scheme Dez and Bern concocted.

To be fair, I’m a little surprised that I was right about Tiff and Gunth attempting to muck scheme up somehow. But in hindsight, it makes sense for continuity purposes due Gunth’s feelings for Bern. The question is, how will he react when he sees Bern make a movie on Piro or vice-versa?

ohwhatever said, 6 minutes ago

3 way!

Goes to show they should require young-uns’ reach a certain age and pass a test before they can get a modem, just like with driving a car.

Poor Bernice. It was not a very good idea, anyway.

I’d think Piro would show up just at the film begins to roll. And as hostess, Bernice wouldn’t expect the nicest seat in the house.

Hair seems like the type to flip his feet back to the ground and ask Bernice or the next person who walks in to ‘come sit down’ next to him. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were someone light, happy, fun and comfortable to loosen up Bernice? I see Piro more as gloomy, than mysterious. Who needs gloomy? Hair is refreshing! I’m looking forward to how he livens things up.

My kid has long blond hair and showers twice a day. And is really smart.

Bernice might just as well date Hair. She knows as much about him as she does Piro, and Hair is much friendlier.

I don’t really know or appreciate this clown but he is the very definition of “unintended consequences”.

Unexpected and inconvenient things happening already. This is shaping up like Dez’ “rain” gathering. Bernice is truly gonna need some brownies after this.

i was expecting Gunther to be the first to start foiling Bernice’s plan.

And once again, this"event" of Dez’s planning is a big hit with the Dean. Good job, Bernice! This is the kind of clean fun the college likes to see on campus. And Bern gets a raise (but feels empty anyway)

Per Burns:.“But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy!”.Just enjoy what comesand don’t be a mouse about it

To everyone who still seems to be confused …Here is the May 26th strip:.Silent Film Festival is in the “common room” so that is where today’s strip is set.“Barbarella” is in dorm room 201, which was established most recently on December 12, 2015 as Bernice and Dez’s room:.All clear now, I hope?

The joke here is that a love seat is, by definition, only for two people.

I only now realized that the scarf in the earlier and later strips I posted is the exact same one … LOL

Hey, Bernice! If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. Gotta scratch that itch somehow.

As Stephen Sondheim wrote, “Send in the clowns………….. don’t bother, they’re here.”

Yes, there are people suggesting gay-themed storylines in the comments section here. Just today, someone suggested the following plotline:

Prediction: Hair and Piro “hit it off,” leaving Gunther with a frustrated Bernice, who makes plain to G that Tiffany’s sweet on him.And yesterday someone suggested:Piro is probably gay and he will think Bernice is being a matchmaker as in a date for him with Gunther. and another person suggested:watch Piro be gay and hit on GuntherSo that’s three commenters suggesting gay storylines in the last two days.

Spoiler:Unpredictible becomes an important word for Bernice.

SPOILER ALERT

Does Bernice need new specs? Even looking right at our popcorn delivery man, she still calls out the wrong name…

No, Kym is talking about other people, who have been “calling for such”.
