Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 21, 2018

Luann’s doodle looks like it came from an adult coloring book.

way to to take your mind off Jack’s bod, Luann

Like normal. No closure.

Surely he saw her before now!

Is Jack wearing a trench coat monogrammed with a J?

It kind of makes me sad to see that she wasted the very special opportunity to practice drawing a live model. There is no better way to learn how to draw the human form and she spent the entire time drawing something she can do literally anywhere else (and already knows how to draw too).

Luann’s work seems more in the style of Marcel Duchamp.

(resigned/disgusted sigh)

Wow, that’s certainly a big cylindrical piece Luann drew. I wonder what her inspiration was.

Okay, so the doodle she started gave away to the stars? What will Zebo say about her work?

Will this single, unsuccessful attempt to draw the human body be Luann’s only instance of sitting in on this class, or will she try again? I suppose this arc has already served its purpose, since it brought Jack (and Nil) back into the strip after a lengthy absence. I actually welcome that, since I’m tired of Bernice, the Ann Eiffel story went nowhere, and the Luann-mentors-Fay story is pure filler.

I love hairy men! So masculine!

Why isn’t Jack saying hello to Nil?

I love hairy men too !

@VILYEHM: We can’t see much of the teddy bear other than a shoulder, but aren’t most teddy bears bare?

Do I notice an unintended or intended for that matter, resemblance of Jack to Rock Hudson? It just shows that, artistic license notwithstanding, things aren’t always what they seem…and forgive me if I avoid any Nil / Jim Nabors comparisons.

Well if Luann never masters drawing the figure, there’s always a career in comic strips.

Subliminally, Luann drew what she saw. The Teddy bear represents Jack. The round disk with the sun on it represents her drawing tablet, which is blocking her view of all but the Teddy bear’s (Jack’s) head. Basically, what she was able to see of Jack.

Luann you usually draw what you see before you.

Doesn"t look like she covered up her half head drawing. She must have done the zentangle on another page.

New arc Monday? I don’t see where the current one will go.

Back to the ’60’s!! Drop a tab of Acid prior to going to Art Class! Right Arm! (obscure Nil reference, there!).

She drew Jack!

Jack Sh…… That is.

wonder how Nil’s knee/ankle study turned out.

Jack has a monogrammed robe? Modeling must pay pretty well.

the last panel says it all…she says she was distracted and jack thanks her (for being distracted by his….

Teddy bears,moons,and stars,oh my.

So much for my prediction of a clever gag finish from G&K this week. This is a pretty disappointing finish to a week with a lot of potential. The strip has gone from a “gag a day” to a “tribulations of Luann and friends” feature. One can only hope this arc returns next week including Tara to liven things up.

We’ve embarrassed Luann enough.

Jack’s starting to come off as a little too full of himself. Maybe he’s being set up as the male counterpart to the Old Tiffany. We’ll know if he mentions his movie appearance in Pecs of Zye – The Sequel.

Okay, here’s My take on this.

I believe Jack is now occupying the same “space” in Luann’s life, that Gunther once held. That is, deep down inside, she kinda, sorta Likes the Guy, but it afraid of showing it Because Jack isn’t exactly the “Handsome Prince” type guy that Luann has had programmed into her brain since a She was a small child. And that’s Too bad, because there are even more fun possibilities by pairing these two off as there would been pairing Gunther off with Tiffany.

Someone suggested that Jack should shave. I think he’s okay as he is. His “muscle bound Caveman” persona is Funny. It would have been interesting however, if Luann had known Jack most of her life as she does Gunther. Would she have been as “panic stricken” to have seen Jack in the “All Together,” then?

Jack and Tiff: a date to be measured on the Richter Scale.

Maybe it’s time for Luann to try a relationship with a confident, strongly masculine persona like Jack, instead of wimps like Gunther, metrosexuals like Aaron, or unobtainables like Quill.

Someone is going to apply Rule 34 to this.

I suppose we’ll never see how Blythe’s drawing turned out.

Why would Jack think it is a compliment that Luann was distracted? If she was paying attention in class, it would be to HIM. If she was distracted she was thinking of something besides HIM.

Greg should auction off the “Original Artwork by Luann DeGroot” drawing.

Jack likes himself too much. Hopefully that makes it harder for anybody else to like him.

We’re at another intersection. Turn right into a new story line. Go straight and continue a humorous dating pattern. Turn left and have an encouraged Jack pursue Luann like a sexual predator. Don’t want to see that 3rd. option, just want to see things kept light.

I have not assumed Luann’s discomfort and distraction are due to an attraction to Jack. Also, if Nil wanted to either fix them up or play a mean prank on them, either way he betrays a lack of real depth. Trying to fix Luann up with a massive muscled moron is obnoxious, and so is wanting to prank a friend by deliberately putting her in an uncomfortable situation.

→Ultimately, I don’t really know what’s going on with Luann or with Nil. Only Jack is easy to read-because there’s never much to read.

“Professor Zebo! I call this this piece ”Distraction"

“Very good, Luann! Carry on!”

Late to the party this time. Wonder if this arc interrupts for another. Ah maleness, Luann confronted with MALE, who likes her. How will this be handled? Can’t wait to see. Jack is very vain, for good reason in terms of body, and male, although having Nil as a friend humanizes him, so, where will this go. Oh what a tangled web you weave (Evanses)!!

Tangled but disappointing; Nil saw Luann’s abilities and went out of his way to have her come into the class (to learn more skills) and she has squandered the opportunity; Luann has no focus; she’s just controlled by her hang-ups, assorted phobias and distractions. I guess I can only be annoyed with the Evans’ for creating this arc, i.e. for making a mockery out of Luann developing her skills as an artist. I guess they are reaching out to a certain audience.

Jack is not a Bad Guy, but he does have a big…ego.

Luann was more abstracted than distracted, if we look at her sketch….

R.I.P. Verne Troyer

Little guy with big talent.

Weird times- some boys and girls totally repulsed by beautiful and natural hair yet mutilation by ink is considered acceptable and/or attractive. (Ugh. Projectile vomiting…)

Luann seems a little nervous around a nude Jack. She had not been attracted to him emotionally and was trying to keep a distance since she knows he likes her. But the site of him now has awakened her in a different way… shall we say.

Luann is a lesbian.
