Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 15, 2019

Luann: Vixen wants to see your…Wait, you don’t have a pet rooster, do you?

Gunther: No. Do you have a cat?

I’m afraid I’m with Gunther on the “intimidate” part.

I agree, is intimidate, even frightening

When it’s too easy, it becomes too hard. ✨

Hokey Smokes! Panel One!

Good Lord, Luann looks Good in Black! Sorta gives her that “Emma Peel” look! WOW!! I mean even Tiffany in her hey day wasn’t THAT shapely, IMHO.

Gunther are You SURE You want to meet this “Bets” person, or whatever this “Vixen” is, when you have this ravishing, friendly, young woman sitting next to You on Your bed?

Quick, tell her the TRUTH! With the utmost sincerity, tell her how beautiful is. Go on TELL her! Let the compliments RIP. Then KISS for REALL this time if she gets close!

Or by Golly, SOMEONE WILL.

PS: One More thing, Gunny. One of the reasons Lu is getting so many hits, is because of that GLOWING profile you gave her. And don’t forget when you made her that Bridesmaid dress three years ago and she wore it to your engineering class and three guys wanted to know if she was single. And who could forget the time you took Tiffany to that dinner, exposed her to Les and they became smitten with each other? All I’m saying that YOU really need to Stop “Helping” the Competition!

Over and Out!

You can always trust a dating profile with the name “Vixen”

All dates are intimidating. That’s where the word “Dating” comes from,…..In-tim-a-DATING. ;-)

They are acting like they are 40 and this is their last chance at romance. Just go on and few dates, have fun! Especially Gunther, who doesn’t even know what he wants, this is how you figure it out. You’ll have some good and bad ones, that’s how it works.

Has Gunther jumped ship on Bets already? Gunther wants his Comfort Zone to break into his house and crawl in bed with him.

That guitar guy wants to what ?!!

Good gravy ….. Gunther, put your phone down. Luann, put your phone down. Both of you turn and LOOK at the person sitting next to you. There you go ……

G & K pushing the family comic envelope a little with the personals. Good.

If gunther wants his dream girl to come to him and get in his bed, she’s sitting on the bed with him. He’s just too virtuous to see it. He wants to have a woman to marry before intimacy and luann wants to play the field before settling down. That’s my opinion, i could be wrong.

Yes, Gunther – your dream girl is sitting right there. Put your phones down. Right next to you. The Vogues have a song for you:

.

♫ There is someone, sitting next to you

Turn around, look at me

There is someone watching your footsteps

Turn around, look at me

There is someone who really needs you

Here’s my heart in my hand

Turn around, look at me

And understand this

That there is someone who’ll stand beside you

Turn around baby and look at me

And there’s someone who’ll love and guide you

Turn around, look, look at me

Oh I’ve waited, but I’ll wait forever

I’m gonna wait for you to come to me

Look at someone look at someone who really loves you

Turn around, look at me ♪

Did you two learn a lesson there on the internet?Nope, there is nothing but friendship between them.

Kiss him, dammit!

Guther, go make the leap of faith from “intimi-dating” to “accommo-dating”!

Lu and Gunth: “Welcome to the world of internet dating, kids. And yes, it’s a cesspool.”

I think he’s got it – by George, he’s got it!

Bringing the meat to the market.

They show that they care and respect each other and showed a glimmer of chemistry. Sounds like good of a match if there ever was one. Now whether they eventually discover that at some point is whole other matter and probably won’t happen in this window of time. If at all that has the making of a great future connection. Too much territory yet to cover here.

Nice pun. Good job, Greg!

Gunther, Gunther. If opportunity knocks, you have at least to answer the door…

And they thought LES KNOX was bad?!?! This site is trailer made for his type. I think the message here is that GandK are showing the dark side of Internet dating. Not sure what will happen here. So far the only real potential date is Bets, who seems sweet and sincere. But I think they should delete BOTH profiles and take their chances in the real world. This is not their style. It’s not for everyone.

Gunther should mark this day when he finally shared his bed with Luann.

Hookup hunting is gross.

A pretty girl in your bedroom, and you are on your phone? This is your ticket out of the friend zone, sir!!

I hope this “show and tell e-dating dangers” is merely an interlude to some real relationship movement on one or both parts! In fact I’m sure we’d all like to see some movement in Luann’s, Gunther’s, Tiffany’s, love lives. I hate to say this; Even if it involves Les as an antagonist.

I wonder if the G&K hint about this being “Leslie Knox’s app” will bloom into an episode? Maybe even an arc?

Hot girl sitting next to insecure boy in his bedroom at night, in his house. What could happen? Nothing probably. I hope my success with predicting this strip means something shocking does.

Love Gunther’s observation & pun in the last panel!!

Let’s see, you’re both in colleges with tons of people your age, and undoubtedly lots of social events available, and you need to rely on a dating app to meet people?

Hmm. This reads like a different focus than I had anticipated:

1. It now seems that Greg is not edging Gunther and Luann more toward romance with each other like I had feared. Of this, I am glad.

2. It also now seems that Greg is not going to have Gunther or Luann go on a “date” with any of the Dating App propsects either.

It seems, perhaps, that Greg’s intent with this arc was to simply give some social commentary on the perceived value (or more likely lack of value) of Dating Apps.

Will Saturday end this arc? If so, what may be next? I would really like to have a Bernice and Piro arc, but I sadly fear that is only a never-to-be-realized pipe dream on my part. So, of the more realistic paths…. I am kind of hoping for a Shannon arc at this time.

Two weeks of relentless teasing. And now they’re on the bed. Pull down the shade, lower the lights, and go to it.

Young people in college should not have to use a dating app. They are surrounded by other people similar to them. If you can’t find a date now you never will.

It’s amazing the amount of people here who are thinking of this as some sort of romantic tease between Gunther and Luann, considering what literally just happened on Saturday/Monday. It’s like you all are Charlie Brown and Evans is Lucy holding the football. Except that I’m not sure the writer is even trying to portray any romantic connection here; maybe it’s the audience still reading into things despite all the cold water that just got dumped on that idea.

Greg has really done his research on online dating. This panel depicts exactly what happens. And Gunther should be skeptical.

Time for Les to come home and find the bedroom door closed. Conclusions may be leapt to.

I agree with Gunther !!!!

Maybe it should be Luann taking a photo posing in the captain Picard pajamas!

You show me yours and I’ll show… never mind, can’t find it.

Luann looking GOOD in first panel!

“Vixen” is a girl’s name, you cast a wide net Luann!

Gunther should join a sewing club or something. He’ll be surrounded by women, all of whom he has something in common with.

Sounds more like Evans is parodying Tinder.

Of course they’re responding to your profile Lu, you have a great profile.

Someone the other day that Gunther is asexual. He’s been a mama’s boy for too long. Too naive considering the genre that this comic takes place. Being innocent is one thing, but completely oblivious to what is going on with people his own age is just unbelievable.

And then your naked bod will be everywhere.

And for those who just want sex, there is another venue.

I hope that this mass of predators will not make forget to Gunther that, at least for now, Bets seems a sincere girl really intrigued by him.

Wake up, Gunther. Get your mind OFF the subject. Don’t you know its National Fondle a Friend Friday?

Does Gunther really have bare windows? He needs to sew some frilly curtains for them. People can see into his bedroom at night the way it is now.

When Luann showed up at Gunther’s she was wearing a black skirt with purple leggings. Now she is wearing black pants. That was 3 weeks ago so I guess she changed at Gunther’s place.

Welcome to the world of dating apps, Naive College Children!

You’re becoming incoherent again!! You need to up your medications!!

Sounds more like a sleeze-fishing site.

Is Luann making herself comfortable on Gunther’s bed???

And so, once again Gunther’s potential opportunities are like Tom Brady’s footballs……….deflated.
