Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 02, 2019

Nothing being overlooked except for rooftop gear not properly tied down.

So the fun begins.

So… Luann is going to have to share a tent and sleeping bag with Jack?

That won’t be the last thing lost on this trip.

Hope they like sleeping on the ground.

No Tara? I guess this is going to be one of those “The boys know what they are doing in the wilderness while the girls are a comedy of wilderness ineptitude” stories.

I noted that after I had left the page yesterday that Schrodinger’s Dog made a comeback.

Shout out to the Dog and welcome back!

(Even if it is a day late) (And certainly a dollar short)

And the fun begins. But, no Tara….Fun factor just lost 10% without a doubt.

Aaaannnnddd, they are not the only things that are off.

And we start off on the wrong foot…hmm? Whose gear was that on the car roof?

There goes Dez gear that not properly tied down to the rooftop.

I think Tara would have noticed the stuff on top of the car wasn’t tied up.

Hmmm. . . Just like the Bernice-Delta trip where they were overjoyed not to have to put up with Luann’s drama and ended up having the most dramatic time ever.

Maybe Jack & Nil will take the same route and discover the fallen equipment.

Re: Tara can’t come: We still don’t know if Tara has a job, a significant other, a family…

Something tells me Bernice going to be pain this whole arc

No, Bernie. You forgot to secure the top rack. There go Dez’s mat and a sleeping bag. The challenge for Dez at camp will be meditating and sleeping without the mat. I am not sure if there will be a negotiation, a screaming fest or rock and scissor for the sleeping bag. I fear it will be a test of their friendships.

Probably loosing 2 items they can’t do without in panel 3!!!

Oh good! I come back from a camping-trip to read about a camping trip! I’m in the mood for this!

Ooo! Tara is NOT coming! What a “surprise.”

And it looks like Luann “forgot” to secure her tent and sleep bags(?) Again, I’m “SHOCKED!”

Now, how are they going dole out sleeping arrangements? Jack And Lu share one bag, while Nil and Bernice share the the other? And Dez? She Levitates over her sleeping mat outside, whilst keeping everyone awake, chanting Ooooooooooooooooooom!

Oh, and here’s the “BEST” part! Wait till Lu and Bern find out that Jack And Nil always sleep NUDE!

Hilarity, as Luann1212 says, Ensues!

PS: A very enlightened gentleman elsewhere on the ‘Net, suggested that Dez has neglected to inform Lu and Bern, that they are ACTUALLY going to a Nudist Camp. I HOPE that’s True. And while Jack And Nil would adjust quickly, it’ll be FUN watching Luann petrified with shock while Bernice performs a Chernobyl like Melt Down. ;)

I thought this was a girls-only trip?

A pity Tara isn’t coming, she’s clever, funny and very attractive. Still, three girls two boys and a shortage of sleeping bags is an interesting dynamic.

Are Jack and Tara a couple – it looked that way earlier? If so, he’s probably too much of a gentleman to fall for another girl, though Luann has proved in the past that she’s good at stealing other girls’ boyfriends.

Is Dez interested in boys? Will we see Bernice the prude or Bernice the party girl?

Interesting.

Maybe Tara will ‘spook ‘em by dressing as a bear or something. ✨❤️✨

Oh, they’re off alright. Very off.

I’ll be going on a camping trip soon. Ski season in most of the places I go are pretty much well done. :(

This’ll give me an opportunity to see what not to do. Thanks, Greg. Oh, by the way, be kind to Tiffany. In the long run, she’s really carried this place.

Before I forget, a few days ago, someone here was asking where I’d gone, and someone thought I’d passed on. Still here, haven’t assumed room temperature or moved on to the next plateau yet.

this ought to be good!!

It seems Dez is the only one who knows where it is, so how will the guys find it?

LuAnn probably knows jack about camping, in a manner of speaking… :D

I remember when something like this happened to an uncle of mine, what a laugh! How beautiful see the girls start the journey so full of enthusiasm! Even Berbice is happy!!! I hope that Nil and Jack will be able to find them and don’t end up lost, that Luann and Jack will stay a lot together, that Nil will show Bernice some Tim Burton films (maybe “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”, “Nightmare before Christmas” and “Big Fish”) and that Tara will suddenly appear in the most unexpected moment. This will be so fun!♡♡♡

That’s enough. Get your minds outta the gutter.

ahhh. the real test of college—— staying friends after a road trip

Shortly thereafter, Ted Forth hears a atrange crunching sound come from under his RV…

Nothing has been overlooked? How about tying that stuff securely to the roof rack?

Typical dumb kids.

Gaaa… This happened to me once. Brings back bad memories.

Who is Nil?

I knew hilarity will ensue all by itself, but I have a feeling Tara will show up anyway.

In years gone by, I built many a chain link fence. Before leaving, I would walk around it once, picking up any scraps or tools that had been dropped.Until I could make it all the way around without finding something, I went around again.

Confucius says, “Man who go camping with woman have one in-tent”…

“We’re off!” Yeah. Something’s off! Inside and out. :o)

Don’t know what just blew away, but it looks like the tent and ground cover. They wouldn’t put sleeping bags on the roof would they!?!?

Day 2 of the camping episode: We’ve refined to attendees today. Jack and Nils have been added to the mix. Glad to see Jack back, but especially Nils. Looking forward to Nils and Bernice being thrown together again.

Once again Tara is out of the mix. Another mysterious disappearance or just too many females in the mix for this camping story? Tara hasn’t been along on a date/adventure since the Monster Trucks. Just sayin’.

The obvious set up from today is three gals, two guys. Dez has no dating history with either so she’s odd gal out. I suppose readers are to contemplate the sleeping arrangements at this point. I don’t think the gag will go there. I predict the emphasis for the rest of the week will be on the misery index and “what else can go wrong?”

This is what gives park rangers heart burn.

oops

The plot thickens!

Shades of Chevy Chase, lol.

What? No Tara. Oh come on. LOL

bye bye miss American pie

I wonder if Dez has picked a “primitive” camp site? Maybe the guys will go Neander. Built bonfire. Strip to the waist. Chant. Beat drums. *Oh Wa! Ta Goo! Siam!* ;o)

How fast is she driving, my car has 490 hp and I couldn’t make that stuff just fly off the roof so you wouldn’t even hear it go? I’m impressed.

I will bet anything that it’s Bernice’s stuff … she’s too busy “observing “ and forgot to secure her stuff.

Of course our dynamic trio forgets to tie down the essentials on the roof…… they truly are OFF :) Both…. the gear…. and the trio! :)

I am glad that Jack and Nil are going with them. It will be sad to not have Tara in the mix… but I can see that there are a lot of personalities to juggle for Greg already.

From what we have learned of Jack in the past…. it seems very possible that he may be a camping neophyte just like I am presuming at least Luann and Bernice are.

But…. what about Dez? Is she actually knowledgable about camping…. beyond the meditative/metaphysical aspects? Not sure.

And… what about Nil ? I think Greg could play Nil’s experience with camping two different ways….. a) being a “goth/emo” kid he could be drawn to be all city/urban focused in his experience, but he could also be b) being a “goth/emo” sort of kid who in some ways tends to be a loner… Greg may surprise us by having Nil have some background experiences of “living off the land” so-to-speak…. maybe a mild bit of “survivalist” or at least a sort of “Life Below Zero” individualism sort of experience in his past.

This has a potential to be very interesting and entertaining!

Kill off Bernice, make Luann 3 times smarter, so she’ll have an IQ of 90. Have Gunther grow a pair, he’s pathetic.

Awww……I’m so sorry to hear that Tara isn’t going. She would really have stirred things up. Plus, I’ll bet she knows a lot about camping. I doubt Luann and Jack will be sharing a sleeping bag. But, SOMEONE will have to give one up that’s for sure. Looks like the consumer is already in trouble! And was that Dez’s yoga mat also getting tossed out?

Be Prepared!

Just noticed. In first panel, Luann looks a lot like Luann Againn!

Teen Camping make You realize how much Parents did for comfortable Camping Trips

Jack and Nil went up the hill.

I hope Dez sees the stuff flying off the roof in her rear view mirror before they get too far along.

….morons. Iv’e got morons on my team.— Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

When I went camping at Mt Ranier with a school group when I was in middle school, we left the backpacks at the campsite to go explore the entrances of the abandoned copper mines on the hillside. When we returned two hours later, we found that marmots (woodchucks) had eaten through all of the canvas backpacks to get to the all the food not in tin cans. And our counselors thought they had thought of everything too.

As I recall, Dez travels alot and to other countries too, in order to experience other religions and cultures. So she is the more experienced traveler who may be used to bouncing around on back roads in rural areas.

Camping adventure meets plot complication.

Like the Donner Party, they’re doomed from day one

Didn’t all this start with a brochure for a camp? I doubt if they take all comers without pre-registration and payment.

How about that, sports fans. A reboot of the Hope, Crosby and Lamour “Road Movies”. They’re off! They certainly are.

Most people would Hear the stuff falling off the roof.

When the posse does join the trio-please do not assume genders can do things (one of the things I loved about Luann changing the tire). I recently ran into the assumption that men know how to do things with cars innately.

I did not know how to jump a car (and this one has a computer so you cannot do what they did in the pre-computer days, you can frak the computer up), so I called AAA.

The female mechanic who drove up in a huge tow truck knew way more than I did, and had us up and running in 4 minutes flat.

I never looked at it from a gender perspective until the other day when it hit me. Women have been dealing with this for centuries, Males have only been dealing with this for the last couple of decades.

There once were three lady campers from Pitts,

Ate a ton of wild berries then they all got the

This will not be a “campy” camping trip with outrageous, theatrical behavior, it will be a sleep in the rain, mud in your shorts, military survival bivouac sort of adventure.

Luann is adorable with her “Let’s do this!” G & K are wonderful at projecting all Luann’s mega moods & energies.

Great comedy tropes today.

Gee, who knew when you loaded stuff on top of a car you actually had to tie it down.

Well, something’s off. Did you guys really want that sleeping gear?

And why can’t Tara come? Now it’s going to be unbalanced, three guys and two gals….

Jack and Nil…are they going up the hill?

Seriously, they didn’t notice?
