Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 03, 2018

uh… how long has Leslie been standing there with nothing but towel, socks and shoes?

So, the first things he puts on after getting out of the shower (besides the towel) are shoes and socks?

If your going to walk around in nothing but a towel, why the shoes and socks? Gunther should invest in a sharpie and buy his own beverages. Not sure is Les will respect the whole it has my name on it thing but that has a serious ick factor to it.

Socks, tennis shoes, and a towel around his waist? Either he showers with his shoes on or it’s laundry day.

Does Quill run around the Berger house dressed like this? Maybe.

QUICK PULL HIS TOWEL THEN PUSH HIM OUT THE DOOR!

It appears that either Les has no body hair or he has been doing some manscaping.

Hey – You don’t have to knock going to a house that you live in. Les is already acting like it’s entirely his place. I assume they have separate bedrooms.

Nice looking little house. There may be some adjustments.

I can see this isn’t going to work between these two.

Start checking flight departure times for Peru, Gunther.

Wow – Mr Gray has the bucks! A fancy abode with high ceilings, upper windows for extra natural light, island kitchen. Lookit Irma! Hey Irma – these boys aren’t getting married or something…

So is Irma going to sell her house to Brad & Toni?

I guess Gunther has to knock – because Les Knox (first)…

-@KENHENSE:_ Oy…

Who woulda thought Les Knox would drink milk at all, let alone out of a carton…

AWKWARD, but nothing like when Gunther walks in on Les having sex with ???

That expression on Mom’s face says it all…and it’s sick…“now my boy will never have to, or want to, leave me”….

You know, the whole “new step-siblings forced to live together despite hating each other” thing only works if the two characters are children or teenagers, as legal adults can just move away (unless of course if the character’s being too old for these shenanigans is the whole point, as in the movie Step Brothers.) All this does is make Gunther look more and more pathetic, as unlike Les (who has a criminal record and therefore fewer options) he can go elsewhere. Maybe he can catch a return flight to Peru and see if Rosa has finished raking up all the dirt yet! He can also bring her a fresh backpack full of sticks! Or all joking aside: he can move into the Moony Uni dorm. And holiday breaks won’t even be a problem, since as Tiffany and Bernice have illustrated, it’s permissible to stay in the dorms even during summer vacation.

Les put some cloths on dude.

Seriously hes walking around in a towel with black socks and tennis shoes and that pre pubescent boys body with a hairless chest. seems like someone is a total f’up and hasnt grown up physically or mentally

Who would be the more desireable roomate, Les, … or TJ?

“Felix Berger, meet Oscar Knox!”

(“Odd couple theme” plays in background)

Gunther is about to knock Knox. Hope he still has his backpack.

“Yeah…I’ll be moving into a studio apartment, thanks.”

Not surprising to see Les “welcoming” Gunthie to their new abode. Given their love (hahaha) for each other, things can only go rapidly downhill from here.

So when does Gunther’s mother find out that her sweetie is a crook?

Let the happiness begin!

I get that the attire is at once overly formal (black socks and wingtips) and overly casual (a towel), but seriously, is no one put off by Les drinking from the carton with the fridge door open?

Different homes, different rules, I guess.

How many bedrooms are there? If teh Frank DeGroots can put up with Les (A big IF) then instead of “remodeling” their rental, Let Brad, and, Toni buy Al Gray’s “guest house.” Especially if TJ stays and offers to cook for the Grays, in exchange for his share of the mortage.

Well, so far – so bad. The only way things could get worse is to have Tiffany suddenly appear from somewhere, also wearing a towel.

That inverted roof is going to give them problems.

Which one is going to invite Tiffany over first?

MORDY? Any thoughts?

Time for Gunther to find a place of his own. But of course that has less comic potential.

there’s a thought …the boys stage a ‘house warming" party, invite a bunch of friends and acquaintances over …. the question isn’t who comes, but who stays overnight ?

And he drinks out of the milk carton. The his will certainly be an interesting living situation. Will either of them move out? If so, who will move out first?

Nice introduction, Les is smart enough to defend when someone unexpected comes in his house (his and Gunther’s); what would Gunther do if that happened? I think something similar actually. It’s a very interesting modernist house, with a contemporary kitchen. So all is in place, wedding plans for August, accommodations for the man-children; man is Les a skinny dude, not as all like he was drawn in high school. Not a bully boy. No one seems to noticed that.

Les has a point. Even though Gunther is pictured in the last frame, it was Mr. Gray who opened the door without knocking. Does he honestly feel entitled to barge in unannounced at any time without the respect of knocking? Gunther and Les should be the only ones who don’t have to knock.

And Coming Up Later during a Laugh Filled “Torture Gunther Week”

1) Les tells Gunther in no uncertain terms, who the “Boss” is around here. (Gunther Capitulates)

2) Les has already chosen the Largest bedroom in the house and stored all of his junk in Gunther’s bedroom. (Gunther Capitulates)

3) Les spells out What Gunther’s duties are in the Guest House Gulag and what time he expects his meals to be served. (Gunther Capitulates)

4) Irma walks in on Les beating the living daylight out of her son on the kitchen floor, but thinks it’s cute that the “Boys are Finally Getting along!” (Gunther Capitulates)

5) Les takes an interest in Tiffany for no other reason than to irritate Gunther. Tiffany on the other hand, takes Les’ advances as real and falls in love, and later, gets her heart broken. (Gunther Capitulates)

6) Rosa returns from Peru and Les now zeros right in on her, now. (Gunther Capitulates)

7) Ann Eiffel announces She has married Tom. Les is Enraged, Tiffany is doubly heart broken. Gunther accidentally laughs at Les’ predicament but catches himself too late. Les vows revenge for laughing at him. (Gunther Capitulates)

8) Les destroys Gunther’s sewing machine in a fit of revenge. (An Enraged Gunther proceeds to pull Les apart like warm bread)

And the Five Gunther Fans live Happily ever after.

Until the Voluptuous Drop Dead Gorgeous Female Engineering Student shows up. And falls for the “wounded” Les……, ;)

“Hey! Learn to knock!”

“HEY! Learn to respect!! I live here, too, now!!” [Gunther dangling keys…] And no … G-man won’t say that.

Quick detail comment:

The house unit is pre-fab, most likely – two pieces put together. That’s after the foundation was poured with utilities put in place. There likely is (hopefully) a VERY heavy-duty gutter in the middle. Seen similar before – but the middle can become a problem.

Just thought – it’s maybe symbolic of two parts that don’t really don’t go together – just like Gunther and Les!!

Say! I wonder if Irma and AL will follow Gunther into the House tomorrow and see Les like this?

Irma, if you think you got “tummy flutters” now, just wait until see Les. Then get ready to VOMIT…….,

Dress shoes, socks, and a towel – Semi-formal?

All these comments are really funny. Young men of that age always walk around in “casual” attire when alone in their home. Les was probably embarrassed that he was caught in his towel. Shoes & socks? No explanation. Maybe his feet are cold! Drinking out of the carton – tell me no-one has caught his son drinking right out of the milk carton and I’ll snort!

Why did Mr. Gray let Les move in first and probably pick what bedroom he wanted? It is a nice home for 2 single males.

Eewww…

Learning to knock where you live? I don’t think so. But you could learn to be decent in common areas as a good roommate.

This is going to be one helluva period of adjustment…

The Force (of Denial) is strong among the trufans today. Les the small-time thief, budding extortionist, apprentice to current/former crooks, and baseline rude jerk is definitely establishing dominance over Gunther in the last frame.

Welcome to your new home, complete with its own toad!

“A Knox-ious Reception”

“You Never Miss Your Welcome, Until The Wad Of Steak Runs On Your Eye”

“I’m Rushin’, But He’s Slob-bic”

“Sorry…I Think My Permission Slipped!”

or

“Guest Who?”

I’m shocked that we haven’t had to listen to a lecture and tirade about how Greg knows absolutely nothing about kitchen layouts and that the refrigerator door clearly should have been hinged to open from the other side.

What is this with Shannon and Leslie? Both products of dysfunctional parents? Responsibility delegated to aunt or uncle and their unlucky mates?

These two are not going to be compatible. Les wanders around practically naked and drinks out of containers in the fridge, definitely not behaviors that Gunther would have.

Now, Les. Learn to share nicely.

And let’s all respect Uncle Al, our [godfather—STRIKE THAT—] benefactor….

OK, he’s wearing only a towel from the knees up, but he has socks and shoes on. There may be an explanation, but I don’t want to know.
