Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 04, 2018

That’s cute! :-)

’tis never easy for firefighters to rescue people

When Brad’s finger heals, will he be able to play the violin? Old joke, I know.

Ouch. Papercuts really suck!

Brad?

The Important thing Is,You put Your life on the line to Help others and You managed to return home to Your lovely wife in one piece, once again.

Oh, and letter openers are DIRT CHEAP…….,

Always remember, safety first! And that means using the right tool for the job. Next time get a letter opener!

Very sweet!

Recently I was in a market where they had plastic price tags jutting out from the shelves. I was reaching for something but not watching closely and one of the tags slashed my fingertip. A lot of blood on the floor before I could cover my finger with a handkerchief. Watch out for plastic tags that are like dangling knives.

A good stand-alone strip that even someone new to Luann could appreciate!

“Let’s just start with rescue breathing; my heart’s working fine whenever I look at you.”

What Brad really did 1. Wash all the fire trucks 2. Mop the floors 3. Recuse a cat from a tree and 4.Recuse my dad from a tree

Aw heck…just kiss it and make it all better…

If she must….

Luckily, Toni has taken advanced training in mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

This time it is his finger. If luann wants more help painting, he wont be able to poke her eye with it. But at least the next finger is fine, so he will be able to show it to her if she asks him for more help.

She’ll kiss his boo-boo … and maybe a few more things!

At work it is a major safety infraction to do any work with any blade without wearing cut-resistant gloves. Last week I got a paper cut and got no end of grief.

To whom it may concern at Gocomics: Please add a dislike option to at the bottom of each comment.

Where is Dracula when you need him?

It had been a few years…..then, last week, something I couldn’t help but remember.  After lifting a couple of boxes of records on the floor, moving a couple around, to search through them……the sudden and instant unpleasant sensation, riveting through my bundles of nerves!  The intrusive feel….like a hot and sharp razor…..slicing immediately, and though I tried my best to prevent what was hap-ening, I knew that it was, by that time, to no avail.

That was, by far, the worst paper cut I think I had ever felt, in such a long time! 

“A Cut, Acove The Rest”

“Splinter Sell”

“A Beef With Abraisions”

“Injury, Injury Number 9” (♪)

“Honey!?……(My) Boo-Boo!…..”

“A Nick, In Time….Takes Nine….Bandages…That Won’t Even Stick!”

“Chad’s Hanging Skin”

“To Each, His Prone”

“New Wound!…She Saw Me Hanging Around, Without A Band Aid®™For A Minor Harm…” (♪)

“Trans ‘Derp!’ Express” (♬)

“A Sore Subject”

“From Station, To Stationery” (♪)

“A Minor Case Of ‘That Be Sharp!’ "

or

“The Scraped Crusader”

what’s the book Toni is reading in the first panel?

Brad foolishly skipped the envelope opening safety course.

“Brought To You”, by…

Wedsworth-Townsend… count on their fine products, such as the new and improved, Squad®©™ brand, 51-count adhesive bandages, Mark VII. And now with a limited time lollipop mail-in rebate.  “Wedsworth-Townsend!…. There, all better!…”

In general, I feel like Brad does, in how we sometimes may perhaps be able to ‘steel up’ against even the threat of some of the more serious injuries…and wonder why is it so that it’s also the tiniest of them that seem to be really annoying/aggravating?

the Death of 1,000 cuts ….

Nice to see our newly weds for the Sunday foible. Now its two couples, Nancy and Frank and Toni and Brad. Will it soon be Al and Irma? GOSH!!

I was told when climbing a ladder, up or down, to always have three points in contact with the ladder. We were not allowed to carry something up or down by hand, as Brad is doing with that chainsaw.

At least his jacket isn’t purple!

I thought the 4th. panel had a spot on it that I couldn’t clean, then I realized that was blood gushing from Brad’s finger.

tomorrow: a delightful week of Knute and Crystal hi-jinks!!

Paper cuts – The Silent Killer!! (Except for the ‘OW’ part!!)

First Responders or our heros!

I’m learning how to make a tourniquet and perform CPR in my anatomy class. It’s nice to see something familiar in a favorite comic strip of mine.

Isn’t that the way life goes? Manage all that danger during the day, then come home to a painful paper cut (they really do sting!). Luckily for Brad, there is Toni to provide succor….

Just wrap a tourniquet around his neck for a while, Toni, and he’ll never get another paper cut!
