Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 12, 2018

knock Ann Eiffel dead, Sheraton Sainte-Louise

No matter what else happens, a lot of people will be wearing purple.

There must have been a sale on that color of ink.

”And Now, Back To Our Main Event.” ✨

WOW! Tiffany has, IMHO, clearly moved into the “Voluptuous” category! There’s No way Guys are going to “Ignore” Her now.

Unfortunately, the first one in line will be Les.

Hopefully He won’t ruin that outfit by drooling all over it…..,

Tiffany has apparently decided to go 1980s retro.

Yes….curvy and plus sized girls can be sexy! Although I doubt she is in the plus size dept…. considering she only gained 25-30 pounds which translate to gaining about 3 dress sizes…but in the larger end of the ladies dept where there are double digit sizes for the same clothes as in the single digit sizes. Average size for older girls/young woman in twenties is size 8 so Tiffany is probably size 14, definitely still in ladies dept.

Tiffany has definitely advanced – however to date she has had little experience with making effective “Plans.” Nevertheless, we are all in a super curiosity mode to see what Tiffany’s Plan is. Since Ann Eiffel should be a keeper in the Luann cast, I don’t want to see the outcome too lopsided.

Is “watch out” really the look you want when you’re going to somebody’s party to take them down? I think I’d go for an understated, sneaker wave approach rather than signalling danger…

You go Tiff i did not no you had in you. How much are the ringside tickets.

There’s so many ways to be wicked!

If ‘watch out’ is NOT the look you want when going somewhere to take somebody on, maybe you don’t want to wear a top that says ‘Wicked’ on it…

I don’t know about this. Something doesn’t feel right! I think Greg & Co. have something up their half-sleeve. Wurra, wurra, wurra.

New GoComics mess up.

Show some skin, Tiff. You have assets, so rock them!

Sic ’er Tiff!

Alright, back to Tiff’s plot line! I really hope this doesn’t blow up in her face. I like Tiffany and despise Ann Eiffel, so here’s hoping this Zany Scheme actually works.

How Tiffany got her groove back

I think Tiffany has contacted Souffle Lingerie. A company rep, the local police and Federal agents will be outside. Once they get a signal from Tiffany. They will raid the party.

OK… back to the business at hand. Tiff, you go girl!

I’m starting to think, however, that Tiff may never go back to her original figure… that this may be part of her “evolution” from teen to adult (as Bern changed her hair style and Gunther grew the razor stubble). That would be OK with me. Gunther won’t care about her appearance… not to that extent, anyway. Les just might care a little, as might those who considered her a “hottie” before. That’s good for Gunther, as it might cut down the “competition.”

Hopefully, what it also means is that Tiff is maturing herself, and not as self conscious about her looks. As long as she’s happy and healthy at present, it shouldn’t matter otherwise. We’ll see.

Countdown to Armageddon, and Tiffany is lookin’ good.

Well, the arc change has happened: But at least it got changed with another interesting story, And it looks like Tiff is not too self-conscious anymore, which is good. It also looks like she is giving growing up a chance, and has made new and needed friends along the way. Good job Tiff, hope she puts Anne Eiffel out of commission for a long while.

I’m curious as to how this is all supposedly going to go down without Ann Eiffel recognizing Tiffany as the daughter of the guy she’s dating — even with Tiff using a phony name.

I suppose it’s possible that Tiffany and Ann have never been introduced to each other, but Tiff’s dad doesn’t even have any pictures of her around his place? After all, Tiffany certainly knows who Ann is.

Tiff looks great and ready for battle. She’s banking on her father not having shown her photo to Ann. I wonder if this will reveal something about the entire family that will blow up Mr. Gray’s marriage plans too.

The thick plottens.

This ought to be interesting but I don’t think it will go so smoothly for Tiff. Ann is shrewd and has many more years over her paramour’s daughter.

I would’ve expected Tiff to show off a bit more of her new ample cleavage!

With Apologies to the late Ray Bradbury “Something Wicked This Way Comes”**

yes I know Mr. Bradbury took that line from Shakespeare’s immortal Macbeth

Man! THIS is like watching the Hindenburg approaching Lakehurst, knowing what’s going to happen next. The only question is: What is going to Explode? Ann or Tiffany’s “plan?”

Interesting. You’ve now got three “supporting characters” totally carrying the Strip this week. And all three at one time or another have been totally HATED by the fans. Heck in the Case of Ann and (In My Case) Les, they’re STILL Hated.

I never cared for Tiffany up until a few years ago, when She started to develop a friendship with Gunther. And now She’s my second favorite character in the Strip.

Tiffany’s made a LOT of Excellent progress of late. I just hope She doesn’t Screw it up by developing any kind of (GAG) “Friendship” with that Hoodlum “guarding” the door who will no doubt, make some sort of Lascivious Remark about How She looks tomorrow and have her phone number by the end of the week……,

I’m the greatest of “all time”!!!!

Not many would have said this some years ago, but I’m GLAD that Tiffany has gotten her confidence BACK! No matter of her weight, looks like Ann E. is her ‘catalyst’ to getting better in good ways!

As Michael Buffer would say, “Let’s get ready to RUMMMMBLLLLLE!!”

Even if Ann has seen pix of Tiffany, they were probably of her pre-voluptuous stature, so Ann might not recognize her – you’d be surprised how much a few pounds can change people’s perceptions. Also – Tiffany is rockin’ a totally different type of wardrobe, which is also effective camouflage.

So is Tiffany’s plan due to her concern over Ann selling knock-off lingerie under a designer name or because it’s a great excuse to break up her dad’s relationship?

I’m a little put off by referring to Tiffany’s “progress”. She is the same old competitive girl as she was in high school trying to take down a whole new rival (Ann instead of Luann), in worse cloths. I’m not sure that’s progress, its just Tiff conforming to and supporting society’s views of whom she should dislike and how to compete with them as expressed through readers. She still is pritty much defining her worth through her shopping and attractiveness to men. Now funneling that competitive spirit into a rival successful lingerie line? That would be progress.

Another way to put it – Ann is playing the capitalism game. Tiff seems to be playing the same old attractiveness game she is familiar with, with a worse outfit and couple extra pounds. She may be bringing a (rusty) knife to a gunfight.

I like the idea of plus-size sexy Tiffany. I wonder if it’s permanent.

I’m afraid Tiffany is gonna lose it when she sees Ann all over her dad who is eating it up.

So, the big questions are….

a) Will Tiffany’s “take down” of Ann work? I suspect they will work to a degree, but will not be 100% effective in “eliminating” Ann.

b) Will Tiffany’s “Battle Plan” be perhaps too much about revenge about her father’s attention and less about justice for those deceived? I do not know which way aspect will be more heavily emphasized, but if it is for revenge, I tend to think it will be more prone for problems/failure and if it is for justice it will probably go relatively more smoothly. This seems to be more akin to Greg’s ethos here, I think.

c) I wonder if these actions by Tiffany are more for the “diversion” aspect for her own emotions, or she really wants to “right a wrong”? I suspect in this case, it is probably an equal mixture of both.

Tiff dressed for battle with the Anne the Wicked Witch of the Luanniverse!

Tiffany has a purpose again, and it’s her father’s affections. She knows that Ann Eiffell has a battle plan also, I’m sure. But I think, given the choice, Tiffany’s father will choose her over Ann. I wonder where Tiffany’s mother is. I’ve never seen her mentioned. I’m reasonably sure Mr. Grey won’t step up to help Ann; he’s savvy enough to know why Les needed him to be a positive (well????) influence in his life.

Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.

Bernie and Dez offer supportive comments, but it is now up to the newly again-self-confident Tiffany the “Wicked” to bring down the High Priestess of Wickedness, Ann Eiffel, a.k.a. Annie Awful. Can she do it? Yes. Will she succeed? That remains to be seen. Like others before me here, I have an uneasy felling about this, though I wish the Tiffster well!…

her makeover is almost complete… hopefully soon she’ll decide she’s sick of the helmet hair. pleeease?

This might not be as easy as it looks.
