Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 29, 2020

what a mess you’re getting yourself into, huh, Tiffany?

Screw her, Tiffany. Go to the party instead of this “study ball”

Tiff appears perplexed. ✨

Startled Tiffany got duped, outwitted, outplayed, railroaded and hoodwinked to be a Hall A spy operative and hero!Will Tiffany break and be a party pooper?

Like, is EVERY character trying to make Tiffany blow her synapses and kill all of them? I bet we won’t find out on Monday!

Lose the deer-eyes-in-the-headlight look. It makes you look like a victim which you hate. Then say, “Oh Stef? Kip invited me to the Blackout which is why I changed clothes and was heading out to the party. I’m not going to the study group. Let’s walk there together?” Knock her off balance, Tiff.

All through high school Tif was the one who was outmaneuvering everyone. I wonder how she feels now that she herself has been outmaneuvered? ;-D

Okay, THAT did it. After this I say that Tiff should RAT ’em ALL out to the campus cops. (Discreetly, of course)

But first, Tiff should call Bets and get her in place. Her Instagram followers might LOVE to see the Hall A Gang hauled away in handcuffs for possible underage drinking and illegal gambling.

(Yes that was mean, but this bunch is ASKING for it)

Tiff has had a non-stop “deer caught in the headlights” look on her face for three days now. Breathe, Tiff!

Oh, those kids today, with their Wayne’s World references!

Tell her Tiff. “My lips are sealed for 5 bucks a person!” Make yourself a few bucks! LOL

Heh, I called it yesterday! Steffi announcing to the party crowd that Tiff “volunteered” to be the lookout. So, if Tiff appears at the party, it would make for an awkward moment, “Tiff, darling, weren’t you supposed to be keeping the Li’l Dictator away? Go back and do your duty… take one for the team (and leave the partying to us)”. Peer pressure.

1st panel: Steff has something stuck in her teeth. Tiffany is in a trance. Her mind is going very deep and into a very dark place. 2nd panel: Neither Hair nor Steff realize that Tiffany is about to snap out of her trance and stuff Stephani’s little hair bow up the closest butt she can find.

Keep poking the bear, and see how it ends.

Judging by the look on her face, Tiffany is probably thinking “I wonder if this is how all the nerds I suckered in high school felt?” . Talk about cruel karma.

Tiff looks like she just watched the third curve ball catch the inside corner.

So we’re really gonna pretend that this “Blackout” is gonna contain some form of debauchery that the RA can’t ever discover? What, are they gonna do more air guitar or poker-for-candy? This place makes Bob Jones University look like the Playboy Mansion.

Never dreamt I’d see Tiff in a position like this…on the losing end.

Be sure to give Miss Tiffany Steve McQueen a baseball so she can maintain sanity whilst plotting her great escape from the classical music study hall.

I think Tiff should show Stuff up and go to the party.

Popular – for all the wrong reasons…

Good grief, can we find a way to ditch this plastic dweeb of a roommate? Today’s look distinctly reminds me of a certain TV preacher’s wife who was always overboard on the makeup.

Well one thing I can say to sum up this this week, this arc is dripping in irony. I do hope Tiffany can figure out a way to outplay Stefi, at some point, and realize how no-good the QT QB is really. The best revenge, other than ratting them out, is to graduate in the long run, while Stefi flunks out.

Does the cheer squad know she’s out of uniform?

Both of those events will be boring.

Tiff: “I’m a what now?”

Doubt it but it would really be something if the black out party and the study party turned out to be the same thing. It would be hilarious to see the look on their faces when that realization smacked them in the face.

I hope Tiffany knows what she’s doing. She’s got to learn about self reliance.

I feel sorry for Tiffany. I kind of hope the Blackout bash gets busted and it’s Stef’s fault.

Who says Tiffany has to do the job? She does not owe these people the time of day.

Staph is a walking social infection, treating Tiff like a pawn on her chess board. Tiff hardly gets to say anything, and Staph doesn’t really know her at all, or probably anyone else either, and doesn’t want to. The new standard air-head against which all other air-heads will be measured. Like an Evil-Anne Junior. But if Tiff deflates her, it will be hard to put up with her being a roommate afterwards. Unless Staph gets booted out altogether. Evil Anne Sr. and Jr. are terminally ‘cool’, and have weaponized ‘coolness’. Staph is the new ‘anti-cool’.

Ugh am I the only one that misses the old Tiff? I mean her shallow ego was annoying, but I think this pushover, pushed around version is worse! It’s getting old watching her take crap from Ann and now Stef. Please let her stand up for herself and get some spunk back!

first time in her life she’s been referred to as a ‘study nerd’

Come on Tiff, there a bunch of losers, go listen to some classical music which you may or may not like. You may meet someone you like, male or female and have a good time. Some who wears her cheerleading uniform all day can’t be very bright or interesting

Didn’t Bernice say the Study Ball is at 6? Wouldn’t the other party be later than that? And how does Tiffany going to the Ball distract Bernice, anyway?

I wonder if Steff didn’t hear that Kip invited a Tiffany to the party. Because didn’t she say she was going to the Union? Now she’s back and going to the party. I think Kip sees more to Tiffany than posters on this site do — and Steff has taken notice.

Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!

Awwww…. I love stories when the once shallow or lazy student go through a series of events that make it become a good and serious student. This may be started with a huge equivocation, but it’s the kind of equivocation that i love, makes me laugh and hope for a real character development. HOORAY FOR TIFFANY, THE NERDY HERO!

Tiff is getting an example of how she (hopefully) used to be!

Words I would normally never associate with Tifany “study” and “nerd.” Either singly or in combination.And, from the look on her face, Tiffany can’t believe she’s associated with those words either.

“And we’ll call you ‘Patsy’ from now on, Tiffany! I mean, Patsy!”

And now her new saga begins…

aw now! ol’ tiff’s gonna get her tiff on! you will rue the day you tried playin’ the tiffster, steffie!

No stress. In fact, this works out well for ya. Go study, that’s a win. Your friends have fun, that’s a win. You will live to party another day. Trust me on this.

Truly not worthy.

Tiff had just been played like a violin by Ole Bright Eyes; “Miss Bird” to some. Squared away and pigeonholed safely away from Kip the QT QB. How quickly her jelly bean friend(s) have cut her out.

We’ll have to wait until next week (maybe later) to find out hew Tiff will deal with that “What Just Happened?” stare she’s exhibiting.

Tiff has been outmaneuvered (out-girl-neuvered?). Perhaps Greg will play it as Tiff accepting her fate only to be rescued by a princely Kip. While that makes for a happy story for Tiff, it leaves her with a probable archenemy for a roommate. At this point, another archenemy is the last thing Tiff needs.

Sunday: Puddles and Shannon share Potty training stories.

I’m increasingly coming to the feeling that Greg liked the early Tiffany character and that Karen, being a young girl at the time didn’t like the character. Maybe, if correct, Karen’s early dislike is gaining control?

The first time I’ve agreed with “Hair” – “We’re not worthy” – of Tiffany.

OK, time for Tiff to come out of shock and speak up for herself. She could start by saying in a very loud, clear, carrying voice:

“HOLD IT! I never volunteered for ANYTHING! Someone else” (while staring hard at Stefi) “volunteered me, WITHOUT asking if I had any other plans. Well, I do, and they DO NOT include sentry duty, so…..BYE!”

Then she should grab her purse and run out the door. Where to? Don’t know, but someone in a previous comment said she should go to Gunther with a heartfelt apology and a plea for help with her studies. Not a bad idea, that.

I am still a bit confused…. Stephani was going to the Union…. what need would they be to keep the RA at bay when the Union would be another building? I amPresuming “The Blackout” was or is referencing a dorm room party which would then make looking out for the RA valuable. So…. somehow I missed something here…. apparently Stephani is NOT going to the Union but is instead going to the dorm party? That seems the only logical way to interpret this to me….. but it was presented differently so I still feel confused.

Tiffany looks totally Bamboozled here!! … Which makes me wonder, if there’s any BAM – BOOZE – Being ‘Led’ into this Blackout Party??!! … Hmmmmm …

‘Study Nerd’! … Maybe Tiffany is wondering, “Have I become the new Gunther???!!!”

One thing for sure – the “barbie-doll” cheerleader is no “catch”. Not sure what anyone sees in her…

This strip used to be about a young lady named Luann.

Anybody else notice that that guy is wearing the same shirt Sid wore in Toy Story?

Hair is wearing phantom logo shirt.

Who wears a head band like that these days? Haven’t seen that in, well like, forever.

In high school, Tiffany was popular for far different reasons. None of which involved studying. Nerds were targets for bullies.

Now, in college, if a nerd is willing to babysit the R.A., that nerd becomes a hero.

Tiffany knows she needs to study, but she’s not capable of studying on her own. She needs help, and not be distracted by all these secret parties.

Santa?

A bunch of users…..Tiff, find some real friends

I’d like to think that Tiff is processing all of this and that it is good she hasn’t said anything (yet) because she hasn’t decided what to do. The million dollar question is: are these people (Stef in particular) friends or are they just using her? Does she need or want their friendship?

Letting other people Define you, Tiff.

You need to regain your Queenhood before they destroy you, Tiff.

Poor Tiff. All dressed up and nowhere to go. OTOH…my hope is that Tiff will go study, and bump into the man of her dreams. And it’s not going to be some loser who is partying his life away.

Speak up Tiff. Now or never.

Tiffany and Bets have something in common, “Nerd Princesses”.Tiffany needs a Gunther-like Boyfriend.

Tiffany is struck momentarily speechless. I hope she comes up with a powerful response in time for it to do some good/harm for Ms. Bird….

Can’t wait for Sunday strip.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Bernice knew about these secret parties all along, but because Tiffany is one of her closest friends, and she herself had to deal with Ann Eiffel, she is willing to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to help Tiffany through this obviously difficult time?

Imagine Tiffany reacting to that…

The look on Tiff’s face in both panels of this strip is absolutely priceless. Deer in the headlights dosen’t even begin to come close to describing her facial expressions…

TIFF’S EXPRESSION—-“Stop The World,I Want To Get Off!”.
