More of this? Tiffany should call TJ to take care of Ann. He can come up with a bizarre scheme that takes months, which ends with him taping her saying “I run fake lingerie scams, but I scam smart.” And when she realizes she’s been taped, she’ll just go away…for a few years.
Well I was wrong, the arc continues. As for the room, the kid moves out, the room is fair game. When my brother-in-law moved out, his mother changed the room into a giant walk-in closet, even brought in a carpenter. She was quite the clothes horse.
Oh look! Ann has gotten RID of EVERYTHING Tiffany HAD in her room! What a surprise! (Rolls Eyes)
Big old 30 room mansion, and Ann just HAD to have Tiff’s room for her morning yoga.
“Oh Hon! WE didn’t know you were ever coming back home! So I SOLD all your stuff on eBay! I told Tom you wouldn’t mind! And this really nice girl named Bets, and her goofy looking boyfriend helped me! And I sweet talked them, they only charged me 10%! Isn’t that just yummy?” – Ann
A mat. Ann left Tiff a lousy yoga mat to sleep on. “Ha, Ha, Ha.” And I’ll the Bi*ch has locked EVERY room in the house except Tiff’s “bedroom,” the kitchen, and MAYBE, one bathroom. Still think Tiff selling Ann’s stuff is a bad idea?
DAMN Tom Farrell for ALLOWING this to happen. He’s needs to BURN in the Infernal Regions MORE than Ann does.
Looks like Tiffany MAY be crashing at the Gulag after all.
Tiffany is being driven to a point of no return. A place Ann has taken her, and others, before. Kind of like Greg taking his readers on one frustrating arc after another and then dropping them off at some unsatisfying point where Shannon suddenly appears.
Doesn’t necessarily mean Tiffany is expected to sleep in this particular room. If the other bedrooms are locked (who has locks on the OUTSIDE of a bedroom door, except a kidnapper?), then it’s time for Tiffany to walk.
The big reveal here is, there ain’t no way Tom doesn’t know what’s going on. Therefore, as I think Mordy suggested yesterday, what we now see is “Tom approves of” or “Tom doesn’t care” – both answers equally ugly.
Since Ann isn’t going anywhere, Tiffany needs to.
Tom is not her father anymore. If he ever was.
And my prognostication is: All of this, for months, has been a setup to get Tiffany into Luann’s spare room.
I did question whether Ann would repurpose her room. Yep, she did. Yoga room. Wondering if that is a jab to Tiffany’s weight gain? Chose her room to mock her. I also wonder if Ann actually does yoga? Did she only repurpose the room just recently knowing Tiffany was coming to housesit? That sounds right up her alley.
Or she can get in her car, drive out to the cabin (this is what I would do, after taking a picture of the room), confront them both once and for all. Especially her her parent Farrell-Dud. And Ann would literally get a slap in the face for removing all her personal items. And I would make sure everyone her father does business with is publicly made aware the type of scumbag he is. He literally does not deserve her.This has gone way past the point of entertainment and is actually annoying to read. I may wait a few days before I look again and then again I may be back on Tuesday but I am disgusted.
I doubt she will call anyone – too embarrassing. I don’t think will crash anywhere else – again, too embarrassing to explain. I think she will just sleep on one of the couches – heck, she could couch-hop. She left Moony’s 2-person crackerbox size dorm room with university issue mattress. The couches at the mansion would be far more comfortable to sleep on so it is a plus and better than calling people and moving into someplace where people are bound to ask questions. She will housesit for the length she agreed to and in the meantime, she will seek a new residence. I don’t think the housesitting gig was ever a prelude to her moving back home. I think she always meant to find a new place OR she is staying just for the summer and return to Moony in the fall. This may be the first summer she had to drop summer school because she couldn’t afford it. I honestly doubt Tiffany will move in with any of her friends. She is not that way. I think she will meet someone, make friends and at the end of the summer, they find a place and move in. Perhaps one of Tom’s friends calls to invite him to a party, Tiffany answers and says he is gone on vacation. He invites her to his party at his place. She goes and meets his daughter. Something like that.
Didn’t Ann say that there was at least one servant still on premises? That person should have a key to various rooms. There must be a guest bedroom in such a big house. I would NEVER want to sleep in the bed Ann slept in. Ewwww. Barring a guest room, I would just forget the whole thing. There is nothing there to “sit”. It’s a big empty house and except for dust bunnies accumulation, nothing that needs to be done. I’d be outta there. And yes, I think she will end up at Luann’s.
Tiffany’s naively is heart braking, oh Ann wouldn’t sell my self. Will she ever grow up and except the world as it is. She is a good example of how young adults screw up their life and don’t have a clue about the real world.
I still don’t know what happened to Tiffany’s mother. I assume death because with divorce she could still contact her. Maybe mom has a cabana boy in Cabo? Could be a new character.
If she is dead, then my heart aches for poor Tiff, who has nobody to lean on in difficult times. Everyone needs a parent, and Tom is either the biggest idiot in the world or the stupidest man alive, that he can just brush off his only child for Ann Awful.
Once lost over to the Dark side, there is no returning. She might as well just leave and go back to making things work elsewhere. That’ll send the right message back to her father that obviously she wasn’t thought of or even remotely considered. So what IF by fortune Ann, (that venomous, hate filled female viper, and there’s a lot of them out there in the world to say the least…not difficult for a guy to get bitten and suffer a long lingering death…) leaves him? Then what would he have left? Just a bunch of things and not the life he helped bring into his world. How sad that is for him!
Ah….. Let’s hope Tiffany’s things are packaged somewhere safe. CONGRATULATIONS to Tom for allowing Ann to do this to his daughter’s room and agree to let her have only a yoga mat and a tiny pillow (with no blankets) for sleeping. But looking at the other rooms, I have to admit that Ann has good taste.
this seem like a good time to pack up her stuff and leave the house. with a note saying, Sorry, I had a school emergecy. I was unable to spend as much time at the house as needed. hope everything is ok. then never look back. I’m sure a large place like that should have some kind of expensive security system.
Tiff, you should call your dad right now on his phone and ask him what is up with your room and where you are expected to stay while house-sitting. Get a few bits of memory from your childhood that you can and just walk away.
Its time for Tiffany to just realize her father is not a part of her family, he never was. He doesn’t care about Tiffany.
Wow there are a lot of comments. I don’t think Tiff should put up with the way Ann treats her. Why is she being such a wuss? All her belongings are upstairs in an attic room way way in the back no doubt. Tiff get a backbone!
She should send a photo of the list Anne gave & one of her room with the message – “Obvious that you implicitly consider me hired help. Will stay elsewhere until a fee is negotiated as my room has been seized by Anne. My opening offer is $500 a day.”
Some men are like that. They cannot stand up to a woman. Unfortunately, a close relative is like that. His daughters wanted their room a certain color, and chose some furniture while mom was in the hospital. She made him paint it back to its original color and returned the furniture to the store. The girls were heartbroken. Can someone tell me if that is an inherited trait? Dad was like that, and I have been told that his father was like that, too. So was my brother, and now my son. My husband is nothing like that, so he didn’t get it from him. I tried to give and then lend him some movies for his family movie night, and he was afraid to take them. Sorry to get personal, but I really wonder if this is an inherited trait.
It is kind of hard to leave a comment because I feel sorry for a drawing, one who has developed so many new ways, within a new level of young adult Luannverse situations, but as I always say, and most agree here, with Tiffany it’s her parental situation that is fundamental, with a wicked potential stepmom, Ann added to the mix. Tom is drawn distant, clueless, seeming to have a very low empathy, but very successful materially, but I theorize whatever happened to Tiff’s mom might have left him emotionally empty, and now along comes practiced grifter Ann to fill him up. I’ll go back to my basic thesis—Luannverse will help her deal with this situation. It takes time in a daily comic, but it will happen, just not in 2025 I hope.
This is a fairly common thing. Kids graduate move out & parents repurpose old bedrooms. Parents sell the family home & move into a smaller space. Hopefully, children don’t move back with (or without) SO & children…..
Ok this is getting really out of line. Might have to take a week away and then come back and see if this goofy story line is over. What Dad would let this happen just a joke . Not caring for this at all. Get back to Luann and some sort of reality.
Any normal girl would immediately text/call her dad to find out where her bed and other stuff are. Even if he’s currently driving he’d have to stop eventually. But this is Luann where smartphones only exist when absolutely necessary, so I’m guessing Tiffany will just roll over again, like she’s been doing every time Ann treats her like garbage. This is getting exhausting; at some point enough has to be enough.
A few days ago Ann claimed her “almost fiance” was a top attorney, so now most of the readers here are convinced he really is an attorney.
Why? Because ANN said so? Suddenly she speaks nothing but absolute truth? Does no one else but me think Ann was just trying to intimidate Nancy and the rest of the staff at the Fuze by threatening legal action from a high powered lawyer? Remember Tiff wasn’t around when Ann made that statement, she and all the others (except Ox) were keeping well away from Ann. It wasn’t until Ann was storming off that the other employees showed up in the background, so Tiff never heard Ann say that.
Maybe he is a lawyer, I don’t know. I don’t know if G&K ever said what his occupation was. But until I hear Tiff or someone besides Ann refer to him as a lawyer, I’m going to have my doubts.
Ann probably moved all of Tiffany’s things to a smaller room under the stairs. Ann thought she might as well use the nicer room for yoga since Tiffany doesn’t live there anymore.
There’s going to be some sick twist at the end of all this where Tiffany tells her dad after the house-siting ends how difficult it was sleeping on the couch and HE is going to say Why didn’t you just stay on the new wing Ann designed especially for you? We added even more space for you so you could be comfortable? Didn’t you see the yoga room? Ann thought you might want to work out while you were staying here. And ANN is will Oh Hon, did I forget to mention how we had upgraded things for you? Too bad you never got to use all your new things!Grrr!
So far Tiff has been unable to do anything to her daddys GF. She really needs to get some adults on her side, who know that Anne is the soon to be evil stepmother who is out(very obvious)to totally remove tiff from her daddys life
Maybe Tiffany went in the wrong room. It is a big house and she hasn’t lived there in a while. Seriously, she should call her Dad right now and ask him where she should sleep.
So is Ann’s personal trainer going to show up in this fitness room? Major plot options could arise from this. Maybe it turns out to be Dirk – the “Creepy Superman” per Nancy.
My mom and I parted on the worst terms. I left my momentos and precious yearbooks at her house. I asked her to please please send them to me and I even offered to pay the postage costs. She refused. I simply could not deal with seeing her one more time so I never came back for them. After five years of pleading with her I finally cut off all contact. After she passed away I discovered she had left all my stuff in a damp basement to rot. Everything was molded and falling apart. It was the last straw.
So, if it turns out this ends with Tiffany moving into Brad’s old room, she and Luann, who both know Ann ran a scam business out of The Fews yet never told Luann’s parents, will be living together. And Luann’s parents still won’t know an illegal activity took place in the Fews. And Luann and Tiffany still won’t tell them. I don’t know why. That’s a lie, I know why. It’s because GE/KE actually think another “odd couple” scenario would be hilarious. And they threw logic out the window a looooong time ago, so they think no one will even notice how ludicrous this is.
This torture of Tiffany is why I had to walk away from this strip for many months. Looks like I’ll be doing that again. Too close to home and really unnecessary.
This comic is obsessed with the portrayal of male parents who are oblivious to their children. Its too bad because there is quite enough of it in the world without a comic strip perpetuating the role of “absentee dads”. This one is especially bad because he has money and a mean girlfriend. Tiffany needs to realize that her father does not love her and probably never did. He seems to be as equally self absorbed as Frank. I wonder whats up with this psychological common thread in his male dad characters?
Tiffany — get your purse, exit the house, lock the door on the way out and leave the house sitting empty. I’m sure rich daddy has security systems installed and a security service. Let them check for burglars. Go, join Luann and the rest and ignore your dad and his witch queen. He’s abdicated being your dad and doesn’t deserve your attention or concern any more. If he even bothers to try to talk to you, tell him there isn’t room enough in his life for you and Ann. And since he cares so little about having a daughter, then he doesn’t need a daughter at all. Consider yourself divorced from not-so-dear-old-dad. Heck, if she’s under eighteen she should file for divorce from her dad and mail him the papers.
Gutting out Tiff’s old room so she can have a room to do her yoga? That’s pretty low, even for Ann Eiffel. Now the question is, how is Tiff gonna handle this latest bit of nastiness from what is basically her evil stepmother??
Will someone please show me where in the strip it shows that every door in the mansion is locked against Tiffany except for her (former) bedroom?
All I saw was a comment from Mordock where he said he “bet Ann locked all the doors” and everyone jumped on it as a given fact. It could be true but not necessarily. Maybe we’ll find out tomorrow.
If I was her, stop messing around with your studies. Earn that degree. Then work towards buying out your so-called father. Bankrupt him into oblivion. Just for a future plan.
I am sure Tiff has a friend somewhere who can pick a lock. Les maybe? My bet, although a longshot, is that Anne invites a large number of people to the house for a party while Tiff is working. Tells them to go wild. Maybe from her list of clients for her knock-off lingerie. Just before they return from the “cabin” (in quotes, because I have doubts it is an actual cabin -more like a chalet of opulence, especially if it has room for a cook and a great kitchen), so Tiff looks like someone who is not responsible in her dad’s eyes.
I wish Tiffany would get a dumpster and throw out all Ann’s stuff. Her father must have dementia. It is dangerous to leave an inexperienced young woman alone in such a big house and he should know better. Tiff could fall and hurt herself, or someone could break in.
Are you kidding 50+ have already commented so pardon me if this has been said. It looks like Tiff is going to be sleeping on Ann’s side of the bed. On the last day I’d get real sweaty and lay down on her sheets and pillows, but Daddy’s side would be clean, nay, as pristine as I could get it with Febreeze if needed (in case the stink goes too far). I’d leave my room door open with a sign hanging from the plant ’Don’t you love me anymore, Daddy? And maybe put a copy under his pillow and in his closet.
How much more is Tiffany supposed to take? She needs to take what she has, move out of that place, and move on with her life. The sooner she finds a nice apartment, the better.
Then she can spend the summer full-time at the Fuse, and focus on enrolling in a beauty school.
Apparently the people who draw this strip don’t read this. We’re damn tired of Tiffany getting crapped on. What is WRONG with you? You probably tear the wings off butterflies in your spare time.

Again, too cruel. Bye Luann, I’ve had it.

This is a fairly common thing. Kids graduate move out & parents repurpose old bedrooms. Parents sell the family home & move into a smaller space. Hopefully, children don’t move back with (or without) SO & children…..

Curious to see what her room was like before… when did we last see it?

Tiffany had her chance to have her locked up over the Souffle scandal.
ST Joe River Premium Member over 4 years ago
Ok this is getting really out of line. Might have to take a week away and then come back and see if this goofy story line is over. What Dad would let this happen just a joke . Not caring for this at all. Get back to Luann and some sort of reality.
BJShipley1 over 4 years ago
Any normal girl would immediately text/call her dad to find out where her bed and other stuff are. Even if he’s currently driving he’d have to stop eventually. But this is Luann where smartphones only exist when absolutely necessary, so I’m guessing Tiffany will just roll over again, like she’s been doing every time Ann treats her like garbage. This is getting exhausting; at some point enough has to be enough.

A few days ago Ann claimed her “almost fiance” was a top attorney, so now most of the readers here are convinced he really is an attorney.
Why? Because ANN said so? Suddenly she speaks nothing but absolute truth? Does no one else but me think Ann was just trying to intimidate Nancy and the rest of the staff at the Fuze by threatening legal action from a high powered lawyer? Remember Tiff wasn’t around when Ann made that statement, she and all the others (except Ox) were keeping well away from Ann. It wasn’t until Ann was storming off that the other employees showed up in the background, so Tiff never heard Ann say that.
Maybe he is a lawyer, I don’t know. I don’t know if G&K ever said what his occupation was. But until I hear Tiff or someone besides Ann refer to him as a lawyer, I’m going to have my doubts.

Maybe I’ve forgotten. Doesn’t Tiffany have a dorm room for the summer? I’d say lock up Tom’s toxic house and go live there.

Ann probably moved all of Tiffany’s things to a smaller room under the stairs. Ann thought she might as well use the nicer room for yoga since Tiffany doesn’t live there anymore.
eladee AKA Wally over 4 years ago
There’s going to be some sick twist at the end of all this where Tiffany tells her dad after the house-siting ends how difficult it was sleeping on the couch and HE is going to say Why didn’t you just stay on the new wing Ann designed especially for you? We added even more space for you so you could be comfortable? Didn’t you see the yoga room? Ann thought you might want to work out while you were staying here. And ANN is will Oh Hon, did I forget to mention how we had upgraded things for you? Too bad you never got to use all your new things!Grrr!

So far Tiff has been unable to do anything to her daddys GF. She really needs to get some adults on her side, who know that Anne is the soon to be evil stepmother who is out(very obvious)to totally remove tiff from her daddys life

Not positive; but I think she flunked out of college.
dillmeier Premium Member over 4 years ago
I am so over this story line.
locake over 4 years ago
Maybe Tiffany went in the wrong room. It is a big house and she hasn’t lived there in a while. Seriously, she should call her Dad right now and ask him where she should sleep.

So is Ann’s personal trainer going to show up in this fitness room? Major plot options could arise from this. Maybe it turns out to be Dirk – the “Creepy Superman” per Nancy.
kenhense over 4 years ago
This looks like Ann’s fitness room. Ann may have in mind to reclaim it when she returns from the cabin.

YIKES! and I thought my mom changed things when I went off to college. At least my bed was there when I got back.

eladee AKA Wally over 4 years ago
My mom and I parted on the worst terms. I left my momentos and precious yearbooks at her house. I asked her to please please send them to me and I even offered to pay the postage costs. She refused. I simply could not deal with seeing her one more time so I never came back for them. After five years of pleading with her I finally cut off all contact. After she passed away I discovered she had left all my stuff in a damp basement to rot. Everything was molded and falling apart. It was the last straw.

Tom Farrell is a lousy excuse for a human being.

Maybe the cabin has whips & chains & stuff. Ann would be good at that.
Caldonia over 4 years ago
So, if it turns out this ends with Tiffany moving into Brad’s old room, she and Luann, who both know Ann ran a scam business out of The Fews yet never told Luann’s parents, will be living together. And Luann’s parents still won’t know an illegal activity took place in the Fews. And Luann and Tiffany still won’t tell them. I don’t know why. That’s a lie, I know why. It’s because GE/KE actually think another “odd couple” scenario would be hilarious. And they threw logic out the window a looooong time ago, so they think no one will even notice how ludicrous this is.

This torture of Tiffany is why I had to walk away from this strip for many months. Looks like I’ll be doing that again. Too close to home and really unnecessary.

comic reader 22 over 4 years ago
This comic is obsessed with the portrayal of male parents who are oblivious to their children. Its too bad because there is quite enough of it in the world without a comic strip perpetuating the role of “absentee dads”. This one is especially bad because he has money and a mean girlfriend. Tiffany needs to realize that her father does not love her and probably never did. He seems to be as equally self absorbed as Frank. I wonder whats up with this psychological common thread in his male dad characters?

Ann adds even more injury to insult.

Tiffany — get your purse, exit the house, lock the door on the way out and leave the house sitting empty. I’m sure rich daddy has security systems installed and a security service. Let them check for burglars. Go, join Luann and the rest and ignore your dad and his witch queen. He’s abdicated being your dad and doesn’t deserve your attention or concern any more. If he even bothers to try to talk to you, tell him there isn’t room enough in his life for you and Ann. And since he cares so little about having a daughter, then he doesn’t need a daughter at all. Consider yourself divorced from not-so-dear-old-dad. Heck, if she’s under eighteen she should file for divorce from her dad and mail him the papers.
rklynch over 4 years ago
Gutting out Tiff’s old room so she can have a room to do her yoga? That’s pretty low, even for Ann Eiffel. Now the question is, how is Tiff gonna handle this latest bit of nastiness from what is basically her evil stepmother??
wantcomicsnow over 4 years ago
Will someone please show me where in the strip it shows that every door in the mansion is locked against Tiffany except for her (former) bedroom?
All I saw was a comment from Mordock where he said he “bet Ann locked all the doors” and everyone jumped on it as a given fact. It could be true but not necessarily. Maybe we’ll find out tomorrow.
CynBanz over 4 years ago
If I was her, stop messing around with your studies. Earn that degree. Then work towards buying out your so-called father. Bankrupt him into oblivion. Just for a future plan.

She Started in your room, Tiffany.
She sold all the Good stuff through an Auction and replaced it all with Fakes.
kzturtlegirl over 4 years ago
I am sure Tiff has a friend somewhere who can pick a lock. Les maybe? My bet, although a longshot, is that Anne invites a large number of people to the house for a party while Tiff is working. Tells them to go wild. Maybe from her list of clients for her knock-off lingerie. Just before they return from the “cabin” (in quotes, because I have doubts it is an actual cabin -more like a chalet of opulence, especially if it has room for a cook and a great kitchen), so Tiff looks like someone who is not responsible in her dad’s eyes.
ghamp1972 over 4 years ago
I wish Tiffany would get a dumpster and throw out all Ann’s stuff. Her father must have dementia. It is dangerous to leave an inexperienced young woman alone in such a big house and he should know better. Tiff could fall and hurt herself, or someone could break in.
Quabaculta over 4 years ago
Are you kidding 50+ have already commented so pardon me if this has been said. It looks like Tiff is going to be sleeping on Ann’s side of the bed. On the last day I’d get real sweaty and lay down on her sheets and pillows, but Daddy’s side would be clean, nay, as pristine as I could get it with Febreeze if needed (in case the stink goes too far). I’d leave my room door open with a sign hanging from the plant ’Don’t you love me anymore, Daddy? And maybe put a copy under his pillow and in his closet.

Well I know it wasn’t you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn’t you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
But me, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song (Eagles – Already Gone)

How much more is Tiffany supposed to take? She needs to take what she has, move out of that place, and move on with her life. The sooner she finds a nice apartment, the better.
Then she can spend the summer full-time at the Fuse, and focus on enrolling in a beauty school.

Didn’t I say a few days ago that “you can never go home again”? Well, that’s because it not home anymore.

Apparently the people who draw this strip don’t read this. We’re damn tired of Tiffany getting crapped on. What is WRONG with you? You probably tear the wings off butterflies in your spare time.
Sisyphos over 4 years ago
Rather spartan, isn’t it? Annie’s re-do of your room means either you accept roughing it or you take what you need from other rooms. Fair is fair!
Wilkins068 over 4 years ago
At the rate this is going and all the crap Greg’s putting Tiffany through, I’m fearing she will be driven to suicide.
