Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 06, 2019

Yeah, looks like it’s going to continue.

have fun, Luann, sleeping on the ground with rocks poking you in the spine

Finally. Someone noticed the naked truth about the naked roof! I’ve been waiting three days you know.

Hilarity is near at hand! :o)

Hmmmm, I wonder if anyone checked the weather?That big cloud in the background could mean close quarters sleeping accommodations in the car.

Yo ho, tie the mat down

Zig zag, also the bag

Too late, all gone away

Yet you’ll have a fine stay.

@DHG – You managed to achieve the esoteric level of classic poetry.

SO that was Luann’s gear falling off the top rack. I could’ve sworn it was a yoga mat and not a foam mattress though. SO typical of Luann. She clearly dropped her stuff up there and got distracted and did not follow through with securing them with bungee ropes or twine rope. Too bad Bernice did not put “Check Top Rack for ropes” on her list otherwise she’d have spotted the lack of ropes. NOW what will Luann do? Dez has only a yoga mat which she will use. Bernice came fully equipped. SO, Luann shall sleep in the car. Perhaps she will get lucky and the back seat folds over so she could sleep flat head to toes. Most wagon cars/SUVs have foldable back seats to utilize an expanded cargo space.

Now the car will break down.

Full-blown stupidity, airheadedness, and constant, irritating “reporting” on parade. What a nice way to end the week, eh?

What I get from this is my continued dislike growing for Bernice. She is always right there to not experience or do anything in her own life but comment, criticize and belittle other people doing something. Not only not helpful but not even close to being a friend. I love sarcasm but she’s just rude most the time.

Were I Luann, I ‘d beat a path out of there double time. If I can’t enjoy some kind of luxury while camping, I can do well to forget it.

Dez is excited but she is clearly not speaking from experience. Sleeping on hard ground is tough. The ground gets cold and there is no protection from the things crawling on the ground.

If dez REALLY wants to be in tuned with nature, why not act as nature intended and shed her clothes? And convince Luann and Bernice to do the same. They are out in the wilderness, nobody is going to see them or judge them.

Dez: “I’ll just sleep under the stars.”

Bernice: “I’ll be sleeping in the car tonight.”

Luann: “………………………..I wanna go home.”

It tock 3 days to notice there was nothing on roof rack!!

And a sudden thunderstorm is your “shower,” right Dez?

But she’s right about one thing. They DON’T “NEED the Guys.” Especially Not THOSE “Guys.”

And you got to hand it to Bernice’s dedication. She hadn’t panicked yet, and is STILL taking notes. Bernice would still be taking notes if she was on the deck of the Titanic as it slipped under the waves for the FINAL time.

The curious part about this is, out of ALL the young people in the Strip, the only ones REALLY having “fun” this Summer is Bets and (Maybe) Gunther.

And Shannon. We MUST not forget Shannon……..,

All Luann has to do is take one of the rear bench seats out if they are removable, and she has a bed. Cool beans…

Since they did not know where Dez the diz was taking them I wonder if anyone knows exactly where they are.. The guys might have been waiting for a call. Dez is showing herself to be more useless than Bernice.

I’d head for home if I were Luann, but that would make too much sense, and I’m definitely not Luann, so let’s see what GnK have in store for us next week… :)

You’ll want those tents if it starts to rain. And sleeping on the ground? Make sure to check for ticks in the morning.

Who wears skirts to go camping

Hooray, they will stay! Dez is right! especially if it’s hot it’s best to avoid the sleeping bag. Bernice keeps to look at things as if they did not concern her making obnoxious comments, risking to suffer some physical trauma. Luann may be sorry for her matt, but personally I have alway found foam mattress weird and uncomfortable.

Have any of them EVER been camping?

Consumer should have tied her stuff down on said roof rack

Wait till they wake up bitten all over. Once went camping, woke up and it looked like I had measles.

Luann always did have trouble passing Physics 101

It’s gonna rain.

They’ll be sleeping in the car – which is a good thing when a bear makes his first appearance.

and Mr. Bear will snuggle up alongside you

Bugs, snakes, bears, chilly night air. Wow, sounds like a blast. At least you can see the stars while being consumed by predators.

Remembering that GnK needs a plot to keep people’s interest, what are their options? They could have the girls sleep in the car as some have noted. They could have them sleep on the ground and have a thoroughly miserable time. Or some savior in the form of a guy of course, will arrive and save the day with a tent and food, or something else and make it a good camping trip, and Luann is smitten and impressed. I kind of think the latter. Hey, maybe he’s a superman: puts Bernice and her place with a few well-chosen words; calmes Dez down; has Ann sent away for 3 to 5 years; slaps Les around like a handball; gently guides Gunther and Tiffany into maturity; and Luann? Well, this is kind of a family strip. Well, Luanne becomes very happy with a big smile on her face. Nah, ain’t going to happen.

Time for a lesson about rope.

Sleeping on the bare ground is dangerous. The earth is a heat sink and can damage kidneys. There is a reason humans have not slept on the bare ground for millions of years.

Good thing she remembered her ironing board and iron. Now, where to plug that in…

I doubt that the three of them together could figure out how to change the tire if they had a flat. People doing things like this leads to disaster. “Lets take this short-cut home…”

Somebody needs to feed B’s phone to a bear.

Luann needs to access her inner Toni. You know, Brad’s wife. Toni is a tough cookie.

gnmnrbl, above, and others passim have called for many, if not all, of the female characters to be depicted au natural. So far, in my memory, Gunther, Nils, and Jack have been explicitly shown or described as being nude. All references to the females have been hinted at or ambiguously depicted. Tara admitted to posing nude for life class – no show. Tiff admitted to being nude under her bathrobe to Gunther. Brad and Toni depicted under covers. One episode showed them as using “conjugal activity” as an incentive for accomplishing long delated household tasks; strip task accomplishment-wise. In the end, the supposedly naked characters are depicted only as dust swirls as they exit the last panel on the way to their “reward.” Luann, Tiffany (in character and as Sheraton St. Louis) have been drawn in bikini’s and other skimpy and/or “sexy” outfits. Luann – sexy witch costume, Tiff – Eye of Zye costume. Luann even drawn in bra and panties in 2013. But that’s all I can recall.

So, forget it gnmnrbl et al. There will be no bareness in the foreseeable future. Unless there’s a bare bear out thar… somewhar…

I hope Dez is so “in tune” with Mother Nature that she can convince Mother Nature not to literally rain on her “happy dance.” Otherwise, her bed may become really soggy.

I never really liked to camp, but the few times I went I always took a tent, an inflatable air mattress and a sleeping bag. To me, those were necessities NOT luxuries. Sleeping on the hard ground with rocks and sticks poking into you, insects crawling all over you, and maybe snakes thinking you’re a good heat source——-NO THANKS!

If I were Lu, I’d stake my claim to the car right now! And I’d tell Bern I’d share the space ONLY if she left her stupid phone, or recorder, or whatever that is OUTSIDE!

Didn’t Luann stuff a lounge chair or something in the back?

Everyone should go read “Rubes” today. Kinda fits in. :D

If Bernice keeps this up she’s going to be in ER getting that electronic device removed from a really awkward place.

Well no doubt that hilarity will continue to ensue. The last few arcs have been so serious basically even while being funny. This one I am not so sure, It is meant to wacky but whether there is a serious theme underneath toward character or plot development remains to be seen. Luann is the protagonist of the story, so lets see where her arc drives things.

If as we think, things will go wrong,

who among all, will truly be strong

Dez with her love of all natural spices?

Bern with her love of electric devices?

No I predict it will be our Luann

Soon she’ll make off with the keys and a plan

will she remember it isn’t her car?

along with their stuff and soon be afar,

to send help at some point ‘cause She’s really not evil.

just not cut out to beEvil Knievel

No daring fate to be calm and benign

She wants to make sure that she gets home on time,

For dinner…

The Donner Party had a better chance than these three

Hope the seats in that car recline

“The answer, my friend, (WAS) blowin’ in the wind!!!” … Then, someone took it all!

Waugh … Waugh … Waa-aa-aaa-ugh!

I knew it was Luann foam mat and sleeping bag that flew off the rooftop of the car.

And you do know that any designated campground, even a patch of dirt off the road in the middle of nowhere, is usually stripped bare of firewood?

The stars are not our tent but today one of Steve’s friends, Sarah (blocker), and her teammate, Michelle (defender, and the most incredibly player in the tournament this week, we think) won the women’s World Cup in beach volleyball! So, the stars are not our tent, but they have been today’s foundation for smiles, laughter, and a bit of Canadian maple syrup with High Road vanilla ice cream. (Sarah and Michelle are Canadian, though they live in the U.S. some of the time for the beaches and practice.)

Bernice narrating everything is as annoying as shit.

Jeez, Luann is stupid. Why doesn’t Bernice get killed by a bear? Slowly, so she can record it on her phone. Poor Gunther, his crotch is a smooth as a Barbie doll. Give the guy a pair. Bring back Quill and hook him up with Rosa.

I think they will try to make a go of it—at least for one night. All cramped up in the back of the car. Will they talk and tell ghost stories with a flashlight? Time will tell.

She’s just a bit Unobservant.

I think Dez has the right idea but I want to actually see her in her “bed” for the night. That said, I feel a little concerned about 3 girls camping by themselves in a remote area with no one else around.

And, three…, two…, one…, the ever-observant Luann notices! Deal with it, softy!

Bernie just continues to be a pesky annoyance….

Dez has never met a bear up close, has she?

So, do we all want to smack Bernice the ‘observer’ in this storyline?

Maybe a Park Ranger will rescue
