Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 07, 2017

Actually, Bernice is the one who’s going to need that plunger, since she just landed herself in a big pile.

too obvious of a password (how much longer is this charade going to be kept up?)

Bernice’s password is also “STAR”, as a tribute to Piro’s scalp.

In the entire history of the human race, has anyone ever stolen a bathroom plunger?

Ok, so how many of your phones have an alphabetical password? Hmmm?

The timing of the toilet tool thingy, better known as “the floor saver”, a.k.a. “the plunge-o-matic”, with Bernice’s ‘clumsily clandestine’ maneuvers?… “Desperate times call for desperate measures”…

-

“…especially when you’re a guest in someone else’s commode- er, abode…"

Remember the old days where we would have 150 comments about things like, the pillow in panel one is a different color than panel 3. . .

If Tiffany has to list all her shoes, she might spend hours on that list. And that would give Bernice time to figure our her password and steal Piro’s number.

Clearly Tiffany has bought one of those plunger shoes in the “cup” style. Tired of having shoes that slip and slide on wet surfaces? The plunger shoe makes a tighter seal against the bottom of a wide variety of walking surfaces and does so with less splashing than the “flanged” or “tiered” model plunger shoes. As we ladies know, cup size is important for all plunger styles. The larger the cup size the more of you it can hold and push and shape. As for handles to go along with your cups, we recommend the T&A-handle designs. The are more comfortable to walk in than the classic designs where the straight shaft can be harder to grip.

I don’t want Tiffany to be stupid. Maybe she asked about the plunger just to check on Bernice.

Arrghhh, this takes so long to develop, but this particular arc segment is over in two days, So what is going to happen??? I hesitate to try to predict, but GE is great for doing the misdirection play.

If it was anyone but Bernice, they might have tried a different alphabetical password such as “BUM”, “WHO R U”, or, for maximum security, “DORMCRASHER”

“I Think I’m Getting A Code!”

“Bernie Fell Into The Wel-come”

“Plunging To New Depths”

“Bowl A Straight Flush”

“Emergency Maneuvers”

“The Underhanded Resource Distraction”

“Waste Not…Want Not”

“Access Pool”

“A Dirty Trick”

“For Whom The Belle Toilets”

“Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Bunk”

“Two Dirty Deeds”

“No Restroom For The Wicked”

“You Don’t Have To Be A Star, Baby…Your T.M.I. Shows!” (♪)

Or

“Why Don’t You Leave Me A Phone?”

Quick rule of thumb: if you don’t know what it’s called, you don’t have to put it on the list.

Bernice should just leave a rabbit boiling somewhere at this point. What an unpleasant character.

So far, Bernice’s plan is proceeding flawlessly!

Wouldn’t Tiffany just tell Bernice that she’ll finish the list and drop it off at the dorm desk?

…So desperate, so pathetic.

OK……….Where’s the rest of the suction cup gun?

Oh so Now, You remember You NEED a “Code” to get into Tiff’s phone, Bernice?

Okay it’s Tiff’s phone, so the code is probably “1,2,3,4.” Or it Might be the last 4 digits of Tiff’s Social Security number, in which case You’ll have to Steal uh, I MEAN, ‘Liberate’ Her phone and take it to Gunther so He can Hack it.

Then BLAME it on the Russians….,

No one is as neurotic or obsessed as a nerd who falls passionately in love for the first time, with the wrong person. Why not just tell Piro how she feels? This is 2017. Women can do that now.

Pass codes are numbers… and, oh, wow, is this arc taking forever. Get on with it already.

Bernice just committed a crime.

I’m hoping that Tiffany was wise to Bernice’s obvious lie the whole time and brought the plunger out to threaten to shove it in her face unless she stops harassing her and abusing her authority. Next up is reporting Bernice and having her removed as RA.

Some more of those plungers and Bernice can climb up a wall!

To BRDSHTT: Well, no ‘ring’ (yet), but the phone went ‘DING’. Wouldn’t Tiffany have heard that?

OMG CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ALONG ALREADY?? A WHOLE WEEK ON THIS???

The TV thief, in a fit of remorse, is putting plants in peoples rooms when their backs are turned.

This week’s story line has such huge flaws that it’s really trying this usually patient Luann fan’s patience. I hope the denouement is worth it.

Bernice Halper has become even more sinister and repulsive than Leslie Knox.

May she take a Great Fall in her fortunes!

Time for Bernice to get burned in her snarky , devious plan. And she complains about Luann??? Get a grip Girl! Bernice and Gunther are so made for each other and right now Bernice is almost as devious and unattractive as Leslie. Bernice has no business being an R.A. ,let alone being a psych major and hoping to become a guidance counselor. I know this is supposed to be funny… but right now I am not getting it.

ON the flip side I can almost see this as a " comedy of errors" like a 3 stooges plot. Bernice as a scammer/ manipulator boss and heavy like Moe in Do We Cheetam and How, and then ending up with a pie in the pusser. Bernice was obsessive with Zane and so critical of Luann and her relationships. Maybe I am missing the point but Bernice breaking so many rules right now, being mean and obsessive and manipulating and jealous and petty… how the hell is she supposed to make a good guidance counselor? Maybe that IS THE POINT. I would rather have Dez, Pru or Toni as my friend, mentor and counselor than Bernice. I want to see how this ends but I don’t have the time or energy to deal with this.

That is one nice dorm room! Private living room, bedroom and bathroom and no roommates!

Busted

Anyone else have feeling this is taking more time than April the giraffe is taking to have her Calf? Giraffe gestation is 14-16 months and Bernice’s obsession with Piro has been going on and going nowhere for over a year I think. Thank goodness Bernice and Piro are not elephants as an elephant’s gestation is approximately 22-24 months.

I sense impatience in the force.

When we first got to know Piro, I felt like he was a lost soul in need of counseling (he acted like some of the Vietnam vets I encountered years ago as a volunteer on a Help Switchboard.) Still see him somewhat the same way, but he seems a lot more stable with whatever his problem is than Bernice is…

Welcome to Bernice’s Neurotic Network. For Luann comics, look to see Luann Againn, below.

Poor Bernice has lost her mind and become a criminal.

Hormones keep us alive but mess us up greatly. (I considered typing “bigly” but reconsidered.)

“Yes, and don’t forget all your vibrators, too!”

@Reedkomicks: I just left a response for you! Sorry I got back so late!

Not liking Bernice right now. Where is Delta to set her straight?

My apologies to whomever is writing this nonsense, but I’m pretty sick of it. I’m gone.
