Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 14, 2017

you’re quite a miracle worker, Dez, on keeping Bernice calm

“Loony banana” is right…

Nice future you’ve got planned out there, Bern. 3 square meals a day, free medical, free dental, free eyeglasses, usually a good law library, cable TV, heating, air conditioning, and a roof over your head, conjugal visits, uh, hey – that’s not sounding too bad…

Dez wears her hair in a style similar to Bismuth, from ‘Steven Universe’

Well, now we’ve finally seen someone who’s even nuttier than Luann: Bernice. See them now in “Crazy and Crazier.” Opening January 16th at theaters everywhere.

Seriously Bernice, go to veterinary school! Your people instincts are SOOO off!!!

@MikeyJ: I would be worried about a dog or cat who would end up in the care of someone so quick to jump to conclusions…

I’m thinking Dez might be from Jamaica, Haiti or somesuch.

Dez the Bernice whisperer!

Any thought of maybe…. calling the Police? Or at least the campus cops

Lavender is a great smell and it is calming! but when I sniff it, I don’t get THAT calm.

it is difficult for me to fully express how much this storyline offends my brain.

Bernice is too old to be an RA in the dorms. She’s been living in one for about seven years now.

No, maybe a year in comic strip time.

This comic has so many story arcs now (Not a totally bad thing) that it could use a spin-off or two

DNA on a scarf perhaps, but fingerprints, unlikely. I also doubt police would waste resources for a stolen TV. More than likely it broke and it was thrown out. Pretty sure TV’s are not repaired these days.

Only if the police mistakes you for a guy Bernice.

Having to sign in when I’d been signed in before the site change is a pain in the glutes

Over the years I’ve seen a lot of site re-designs and none of them was an improvement over the original, Always they made things clumsier and more difficult to use. Go Comic’s new page is the Windows8.0 of site designs. Everything is an annoying, huge tile, floating in an ocean of white space. I hate it.

As for the strip she form a pool for when Luann will next appear. I’m picking two months because that seems par. It’s really hard to be a Luann-fan when she’s never in the strip named after her,

Bernice the dictionary definition of spinster. You’re in college now time to work on that saavy before you become a childless grandma.

I suspect next week will be a continuation of the “Hunt for the missing TV” arc. The only payoff I can visualize is leading to some type of confrontation with Piro.

Lavender huh? I’m not so sure…

I think what’s going on here is that normally, Bernice is a logical and superbly organized person. However, when Piro is brought up, she has such a crush on him that you can almost hear the fuses in her brain blowing.

They have some interesting wildlife at that college: here we see two Loons…

I’m tired of Bernice and her neuroses. A Bernice-Piro hookup has no comedic potential. Rather see more of Gunther-Tiffany.

Looks like Bernice got a buzz from the lavender.

Dez has a much darker complexion in the Spanish version of this comic.

This strip has become cluttered with too many characters/story arcs for a four panel format. Go back to basics or go comic book format.

What in the name of the Jack Kirby? DEZ! How the Heck is Bern Chanting “Umpa Lumpa,” going to HELP Anything, HUH?

And Bern. “YOU” are the ‘Gal,’ Gunther “Thinks” He should be with?!!?Someone should catch a Cab, Go over to His Mom’s house, Ring the doorbell, and when He answers it, SLAP Him.

Since Greg has time, I hope he will do something about all of them. however, you are not wrong about the “clutter”.

I didn’t know brownies came in aerosol form.

@POKESALAT Then you’ll just LOVE when this arc continues next week!

Speaking of loony bananas, that would be Bernice!

Dez: “It’s … ummmm … ‘lavender’! That’s right … ‘lavender’ … heh-heh.”

.

Bernice: “No more for me, thanks! I’m drivin’!” (plop)

Lavender? Greg! Dude! You misspelled marijuana!

the gradual unraveling of Bernice Halper… I am enjoying it!…. from valedictorian ‘know- it- all’ who gave advice and had the answer to everything to confused, lovetorn, overly judgemental, misinformed semi average student….. These kids will eventually ravel themselves back up after learning some of life’s lessons.

take a deep sniff of this lavender and calm down and space out!

Boy, Bernice really has it for Piro!

No one has complained of the new format today. shocked!

@BIGBOXES: GoComics has put an additional person on board to zap any of those comments the second they appear.

Ah, yes. Lavender. Very relaxing! I need to find some more lavender stuff for my bath.

That’s the way, Dez!

Calm Bernie down by getting her high….
