So Luann hasn’t messed around with anyone the whole time this strip has been running for like thirty years? And the leaf blower thing just raises questions nobody can handle the answers to.
Actually, not true! Quilly was lying on her bed and they were making out when his dad called and told him to come home because they had to move back to Australia.
Hang on. Luann DID “have a guy on a bed.” Well, on her brother’s bed.
Story starts here: https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2012/06/27
And here’s where she had Quill on HER bed. Story starts here:https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2013/06/19
And there was a third time, too. They were making a mask with straws coming out of Luann’s nose or something.
As far as Luann having “no boy” lately on her bed, well. That’s HER fault. She gleefully gave away the last one to Bets earlier this year. And Bets AIN’T about to give him BACK.
Oh. And here’s the arc where Quill is with Luann in HER room on HER bed making (A-HEM) “Life Masks” or something: https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2015/04/06
Some readers who adamantly insist that Luann has to be a “Family Strip” may be anxiously explaining to their 12 year old that Luann’s bed is not big enough for two people.
She likes Gunther but I don’t think romantically. Bets fell hard as soon as she saw that app. He is a dream come true for her, our dream a smart, hottie nerd girl. Actually MD now that Gun(ther) is getting his codpiece stimulated and is pretty officially in love, Luann is possibly a little envious. Not in a bad way, rather wishful. The wise thing is to wait and be patient Lu, See I would be afraid that it Luann gets a serious—NOT QUILL UGH—male interest it might mean that Greg is about to retire. Maybe not, Karen may carry on, but it will always be Greg’s other baby.
This is the feedback for Luann I think, Gunther is doing pretty good in the romance department, including intimacy (yes I think they are doing it, or are very close, and for young adults being close means doing it eventually) but she is back to where she always is, boyfriendless. A healthy young woman. I told MD in my responsive though, if she gets really serious about a boy it might mean Greg is contemplating retirement, but Karen might carry on. Greg’s name would be on the strip, but Karen would do both the story lines, and the drawing. Which means either she remains boyfriendless, or she has the level or career, marriage, moving through life. I hope that happens. I, along with all of us, am addicted to Luann.
I have swept the floor with a leaf blower. Worked pretty good. I used to sweep my school bus with it. It was especially good for all the food and wrappers they crammed between the seats and the sides. Kept down ants.
Well I think in another parallel universe Luann is married to Jack and has kids and is very responsible caring person. Maybe yet another universe she is dating Jack and they have been on her bed many times.
My dirty mind immediately turned to a line from West Side Story, but the action is not fit here. Suffice to say, Bernie has made a point. Leaf blower?!
Above someone mentioned that if Greg retires, he might have his son do the artwork for the strip.
.
Greg had mentioned that his GRANDSON might take over the drawing, but some time back, Greg had his grandson (who I believe is a UPS driver) actually draw the strip for a week or two. Let me tell you, that would be like having Mell Lazarus (Momma, Miss Peach) draw 9 Chickweed Lane.

The shock might not be healthy for some of the older ones here…
Speaking of someone taking over another’s strip, this might just liven up an otherwise dull evening – The ever elusive Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) drew parts of Stephen Pastis’ “Pearls Before Swine” for a few days. Here is an article and a few links to the strips he drew for Stephen:

Todays cartoon tells us that Luann is growing up. Something is missing – and Luann is thinking that it’s time.

“Leaf blower” doesn’t have to be a piece of yard equipment. It could be a job title, like “dishwasher” or “computer” used to be.

The leaf blower was obviously to get rid of the dog hair.

At age twenty-ish, Luann would be talking about a “guy,” not about a boy.

Trying to remember the last time Luann had her own story arc that didn’t just lump her in with other characters, like the camping trip.
Hmm…

Above someone mentioned that if Greg retires, he might have his son do the artwork for the strip.
.
Greg had mentioned that his GRANDSON might take over the drawing, but some time back, Greg had his grandson (who I believe is a UPS driver) actually draw the strip for a week or two. Let me tell you, that would be like having Mell Lazarus (Momma, Miss Peach) draw 9 Chickweed Lane.
