Greg has to grind this stuff out everyday, year after year. I don’t know how he can do it. The stories might be weak, but the drawing keeps getting better.
Next week, back to Mooney University and see if Tiffany drops out from the economic class that Bets told her to stay in. Tiffany is too clever to be stupid, but needs motivation to study instead of blow off stream at parties and eyeballing Football Quarterbacks.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen…no sensible person would ever unroll all the toilet paper and paper towels to do this…maybe saved up empty ones, but not this…gahhh…
And THAT, is supposed to be an “improvement,” Toni??
Sheesh.
Now, if Old Smiley had been there, he’d have torn out those walls with wreck-less abandon and WITHOUT permission, and built a proper “Hamster Obstacle Course,” that stretched from the front door to back! This time WITH Elbow Joints!
Too bad he was too busy being petrified into inaction at the Fuse, by the very sight of his former ‘Nemesis.’
A Pox upon thee, Ann Eiffel! You delightfully WICKED thang, You! ;)
Came home on night to find my 3 little pups had destroyed a full bag of shredded paper, standing in the mist of it all….their tails wagging, eyes full of joy and glad to see me. All I could do was smile ..and asking “why?” Lmbo :^))
Okay here goes ‘HILARITY ENSUES." Sue me, or bite me? I don’t even know what that really means but for those who curdle when this commenter says that this is where these panels seem to go this week.
It’s great to see Toni do stupid things for have fun with Shannon♡. She’s finally losing her coldness. Brad enjoys watching the scene. Surely with him, Toni feels more free to express herself and this begins to expand even with the rest of the family ♡.
Awwwwww! What a happy, wholesome, week! I swear, Brad and Tony, (and Shannon and TJ by association) are the only characters that never fail to make me smile. You know it’s a good week when the only thing thats even slightly annoying is the comments.
Yesterday someone wondered what Brad was gonna think about all this. This is pretty much what I thought: He’d probably get in on the fun. I don’t think growing up means losing the inner kid, especially with Brad. :-)
From the look on Brad’s face, he may be ready to jump in and help. However, being the “man”, his version might include wood, nails and a hammer! I know that’s a real generalization. Being a woman with the essential toolbox, I would have gone the pvc route or something more substantial. And, there’s always Petco! Will this arc end? How long can this project last? Oh, the suspense? §:-)
G&K could well drop this arc next week. That I was not expecting.
The good: No anger or (apparently) irreversible destruction occurred. For those of us for whom paper on a roll has become almost as valuable as currency, this story was “shock and awe,” we need to remind ourselves that this story is taking place in Antarctica, where the virus has yet to land.
The bad: Even though “no harm done,” perhaps, in spite of it, no character growth shown at all. And it really does look like this story is done as of now.
Hats off to the commentator above who notes that, for all practical purposes, Bwad and Toni are Shannon’s parents.
I just wonder how long before G&K stop with the obligatory “Jonah drops off Shannon” introduction to these arcs. My prediction is that Jonah’s ship has sailed; we no longer need reference to him.
I know this is nothing more than a drawing someone made, yet I still cringe to think about all that wasted toilet paper and paper towels. Wouldn’t an actual hamster tube set be more economical (and at least less of an eyesore) than dozens of tubes taped to the wall?
Geez, and I was expecting a Toni-involved homemade Habitrail to be something awesome, with actual cardboard elbow connectors, and on the floor, and not taped to the wall. Looks to me like it’s not even an “improved” version of Shannon’s project. Toni just used wider tape? Still has gaping gaps? And Toni thought this concoction was good enough to go ahead, open the cage and get the hamster loose? This could have easily led to tragedy… Nana’s disappearance and an extremely upset Shannon! Did Toni take stupid pills this morning?
Oh, come on, you guys…lighten up! This was a very sweet arc. As for wasting all the toilet paper, you do realize that these strips are created weeks in advance, right? Also, I read an article that said that G&K are NOT going to address the pandemic in their strip. Which is fine with me. I get enough of that everywhere else. As for Shannon and Toni…in later years they’ll laugh about the time the almost lost the hamster, and this will be a sweet memory for them.
I am still puzzled as to why they had to unfurl all those rolls of paper towels and toilet paper when it’s easy to just pull out the center card board piece (I tried it myself). I guess G&K needed it for effect. That said, having that big pile of paper at the end of the tunnel made a trap for Nana to fall into after emerging. They needed to construct some enclosure (another cage?) at the end of the tunnel so Nana would not come out and go zooming around the house. I guess the big wad of paper on the floor there served that purpose.
Brad, Toni what has Shannon done. She brought home a hamster from school for her project. So how did all the TP rolls end up on the walls. Well Brad that’s a funny story can i save that for later tonight.
As information, for those of you on Facebook (Luann Comic), Greg and Karen address the pandemic and their thoughts on whether or not it will be included in the comic.
It makes interesting reading and there’s even “self portrait” of the father/daughter duo.

Well with the ridiculous cost of paper towels now days, Brad and Toni must be very prosperous to waste that many rolls.

Say “Good bye,” Shannon. There are Shannon likers, and there are Shannon dislikers, which doesn’t make them “haters”, simply dislikers.

So are Brad and Toni working separate shifts now or was Brad just out scrounging for toilet paper during the pseudo shortage? 8^ )

After this respite we have several hanging arcs.
Nancy vs Ann at The Fuse.
Tiffany flunking.
Tiffany’s new roommate and Hall-A denizens.
Empty room at the DeGroot manse.
Gunther and Bets social media friction.
AND
Luann’s social life; or lack thereof!
