Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 29, 2018

yeah, Luann, a dingy

I love the sarcasm

A giant roll of duct tape given away. What will he do if he needs to fix something?

Dream big Luann!!!

Baby steps…baby steps…

A “lets drown” boat(jon boat) lol

Today, I let my neighbor across the street have about 16" of teflon tape to seal three air fittings for his compressor and hose. I do not know what I am going to do with all that extra space.

Whenever you see your neighbors cars parked in their driveway in front of their garage, you are probably witnessing the “sunk cost fallacy” in action. I.e.: their garage is actually a warehouse crammed with items that are unlikely ever to be used again. They keep the items, however, because they are “expensive” or “still good” even though they are to the family essentially worthless and useless.

@RINGO – Third frame! Enough visual sarcasm to do you proud!

Is Luann… writing a letter?!

What kind of a millennial is she?

The proliferation of “storage units” is certainly a testament to something.

It must’ve been so hard to part with that!

The first panel was kind of scary.

Mom and Dad understand and are mutually enjoying the joke. Luann, however…

Yeah,no!

Here’s a radical idea Frank:

1) Call Goodwill or the Salvation Army and them come by a pick that STUFF in the garage up!

2) Then Go Rent a pick up truck and gather up everything they didn’t take, and haul it to the local landfill.

3) Then spend a few hours sweeping the dust and dirt out the garage.

BOOM! You can NOW use the garage for what it was INTENDED: To park Cars! And NOT To leave them outside in the driveway and expose them to the elements and thieves.

It’s annoying that “folks” don’t use things for what they were intended.

And don’t even get me started on pick-up trucks……, ;)

There should be a law about having a garage but having it so full of junk you can’t park there; for years I would’ve killed for a garage, and now that I’ve got one I never want to have to park in the elements again. And since when is Luann right-handed?

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice a strong resemblance between Frank (at least in the last panel) and Knute?

I’m one of those weirdos who actually PARKS HIS CAR in the garage! :)

I also back in, so’s I can get a Batmobile start if needs be. ;-)

actually, it’s more properly “duck” tape, not “duct” , as the name originated from it being based on cotton duck material (similar to denim or canvas) … some of you older posters may recall cotton duck fabric as a once common phrase.

In the process of cleaning out our basement now. I find myself going back 30 years or more in papers and everything else you could imagine. Some bring back memories, but I will be glad when it’s done, I get a new entertainment, workout, spa room out of it! Helps when you are empty nesters. THe only thing I am afraid of is that they might decide to try to come back? (lol).

Call Red Green ;)

What about all those cassette tapes Luann’s been keeping an audio diary on for the last several years…

Alternate dialogue, third panel: Nancy, “Thank goodness I’m not pregnant”, to which Luann replies, "What? You guys still do that stuff?,

Be careful: Getting a boat starts a whole new accumulation of junk.

How ‘bout them short shorts on Frank, huh?

It seems like they would have 3 cars, one for each driver. I wonder whose car will get parked in the garage?

another “Sarcastic Sunday”?! Will this be a trend from Greg ??

What is going on here? Luann is suddenly right handed? Say it ain’t so.

No room for Luann’s left-handedness in this particular strip?

The downsizing is off to a micro-start!

And that’s why we have a shed. The garage is for the cars.

Will we ever fine out what What Luann wrote down!!

Tomorrow. Who or what is waiting in the bull pen? Tara, Fay, Tiffany, or Bernice discovering the joy of modeling in Zebo’s art class?

Frank, are you going to allow your ladies to indulge in sarcasm at your expense? C’mon, Nan and Luann: it was a whole fresh roll of duct tape! Several cubic inches! Plenty of room for a little toy sailboat!

The longest journey begins with a single step…..

Enjoy your weekend off, puddles!

“HAHAHA! Oh, Frank, honey, you’re such a freaking idiot.”
