Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 01, 2019

I — another guy — also want the deets, Luann, on you and Ryder.

Wouldnt be surprised if all tbis gossip turns Ryder off and ends it

Everyone knows Ryder, except Luann. The fact they want deets tells me that Ryder must have some kind of reputation.

“There are no deets. I’m going to be a nun.”

Ryder could be a player.

Well now.

It looks like Jack, likes to YAK.

Not only to Nil, but Tara too. So does that mean that Jack told the “Gang” all about Lu’s date with “Doug” too? Or what he and Luann did whenever they were alone together? Which wasn’t all that much, but Still. Not a GOOD sign IMHO.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. “Folks” Who are “dying” to see Jack and Luann together will QUICKLY dismiss this as all being “perfectly innocent” on Jack’s part.

But the fact of the matter is, Jack talked, and pretty much put Lu’s business in the “street.” And to people who want to get into Luann’s business, today.

Okay. Let the slings and arrows fly, As we await Tara and Nil teasing that Luann “should Date Jack.”

Let’s hope Lu doesn’t tell Jack everything. Lest it ends up on Instagram……, :)

So much for all the posters who thought the appearance of Nil meant he was the next guy in Luann’s life…

What the Sam Hill is “Deets”?

Omg, I absolutely loathe calling a woman “(Boyfriend Name) Girl”. I honestly didn’t think young women today did that kind of sexist, retrograde crap. I hope this is just because the Evanses are older. (If you think this isn’t sexist, do you think they’ll have someone calling Jack “Kaylie Boy”?

Excuse me – but does Nil have his hand on Tara’s derriere? (if she allows it – I’m jealous).

I teach high school and I can verify that guys gossip as much as the girls do.

Isn’t DEET something that is in mosquito repellent spray?

For a change of pace, I would love to see Luann meet a black guy with a similar personality to her and they hit it off splendidly. Or did we fill the interracial quota with Gunther and Bets? (Sarcasm)

I’d tell her that the deets are on a “need to know” basis, and she doesn’t “need to know”.

Oh boy, Jack’s gonna get an earful from Luann— and I’ll bet it won’t include date deets!

Apparently this whole week is gonna be a wash, since all the other characters are asking about a guy that we all know will never actually play a real part in the story. He’s a plot device at best.

Clearly Greg Evans is the biggest gossip around. He’s broadcasting it to the world.

Yeah, we want deets!

I don’t . Ryder is a plot device.

Jack told that to everyone. But he has done it because he was happy for Luann or..? I think men and women are blabs at the same level.

your in collage for god sake girl work out some frustration and have some fun.

Oh great! Now she’s going to get mad at Jack for interfering in her love life—-just as SHE was doing to Gunther and Bets. Jack should not have told them though. That knocks him down a bit in my book. That’s Luann’s personal business.

“Deets”? It’s in the dictionary, first used in 1986. Same year as “fax modem” was first introduced. I closed my eyes for a moment and that moments gone.

It is a bit disappointing that it now seems that Nil is not going to be considered by Luann as a potential dating partner. Even though Nil and Tara really want the “deets” (details) here….. I am not as interested in learning more about Ryder as they are. I am hoping the story migrates away from Ryder quickly.

Once again I get the sense that Jack’s character is acting strangely. He’s always been affable, outgoing, gentlemanly and caring. Often socially naïve but not prone to gossip, as many characters in the strip are.

GnK may be setting up a crisis point in the relationship. If they are, there’s not much point in a “falling out.” Jack is too ingrained with other characters; Tara, Nil, even Tiffany and Bernice. Whatever comes of this, “drama will ensue.”

This, to me, is part of the new ‘sharing’ world. You ‘share’ a pic of your meal on social media (like who cares what it looks like? I’d wanna know what it tastes like!); you ‘share’ a ride by calling some stranger to pick you up and you pay for the right to sit in that car and hope the stranger gets you where you need to go instead of getting you lost; you ‘share’ your house with total strangers who start wars in your neighborhood by stealing all the parking spaces; you ‘share’ all the so-called ‘deets’ about a date. The ‘sharing’ world is a world with no idea that such a thing as privacy exists.

Luann is in the same shoes she put Bets in, when Bets was meeting Gunther.

Likes to learn/hear/receive, less inclined to teach/share/gossip.

Not us. We share like crazy… exactly like crazy.

Deet is a Grottan… ??

At least it seems Jack spread the latest gossip in person. But Bets took pictures of Gunther, put them on the computer, and sent them out to over 100 friends, relatives, neighbors, and benefactors.

Will Luann ever find true love?

“Deets” aka “details.” Those details are going to turn around to Jack, which might circle around back to Luann, which might mean something, or disappear into a Luannverse Black Hole never to resurface again. I think though, to carry that analogy further, the concentric arc will not get past the event horizon of the black hole, but will be like plasma rays shooting out, symbolic of the energy it took for Luann for finally realize that true love was that hunk in her art class and dog park. If so he is the coolest romance dude around, he should be a contestant on one of those silly Bachelor shows.

Never helps to have too many noses in a couple’s relationship.

Jack probably spread the “deets” around as he was responsible for getting Luann and Ryder together. He was proud of his work. Even if it doesn’t last…

Not too long ago (in comic strip time) Luann had Jack monitor a date so she could bail. History says, date privacy isn’t high to her. That, however, may be changing.

And, thus ends what Could have been the beginning of a “Beautiful Romance”.

“Deets” for “details”.

“Nil” or “Tara” or whoever has a stupid name that doesn’t exist except for Evans: “So are you going to lose your v-card to this Ryder? Ryder is an ADORABLE name! Is Ryder a puppy? He must be, right?”

Luann: “No, he’s asexual, like me. Most people my age have sex, bit I don’t! Can you imagine how many elderly people I would offend if I had sex before marriage? I still laugh about how I scared away Q—some guy.”

Tara, Nil, whatever: “You’re pathetic. It’s depressing that you’ve reached this age and still don’t care about someone at least making out with you.”

Luann: “Would you like to see a picture of how STUPID Gunther looks naked?”

T and or N: “Yeah! Screw that ‘Nice Guy’! What a loser! Lol!”

Word gets around pretty quickly!

So, yeah, Luann, you’d might as well give all of us the deets….
