Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 12, 2020

Cats are nocturnal hunters. Leslie Knox is the target!!!!!!!!

Been a while since we’ve last seen Punk, the cute (yet annoying) kitten of Leslie.

Cute until they bother you, huh Les?

I have two big furries and they do exactly this as soon as the lights go out.

Our kitty runs at night. No one sleeping in the same room with her gets any rest.

Ah, the joys found when living with a cat. If it turns out that UFOs are real, and cats were brought here from another world, I’d say, “I KNEW it.”

Cool! Wondered where Punk was? He grew a little bit.

This would have been Van Cliburn’s 86th birthday.

Yawn

Awwww….dont be such a grouch Les. The kitty kat loves you.

Les sure loves that cat dosen’t he?

Aww. Les!!

(1) Puddles has a rival for the Sunday stage now; (2) Punk featured on Sunday indicates Les will remain in the cast probably for years.

I’m relieved it wasn’t Nancy telling Frank how much they need to rent their spare bedroom…

So it’s been 21 days since the strip’s titular character has been seen. Should we put out an APB or just assume she’s been Barney Google’d?

Witnessing the secret redemption of Leslie. Not being Prom King in high school really broke his heart.

And the civilization of Leslie Knox continues. We’ve seen nothing strikingly masculine depicted in awhile.

Invest in a squirt bottle. Cats can be trained, but it requires you to be more stubborn than they are!

Les is definitely mellowing. He may get engaged soon. (To whom? Use your imagination…)

Cat people can’t be all bad.

So, basically every comic strip cat ever.

Oh my God, this! LOVE! =^;^=

“Nothing is cute at 1:17 in the morning,” would be the key takeaway here

Panel 2… what is that? A sofa? When did Gunth and Les get one?

I’m trying to place locations inside The Gulag for Punk’s face sleeping spots. Panel 1- Windowsill? Panel 2- Living room with sofa? 3) Piano? Probably not a staircase landing, because The Gulag is only one story? 4) Les’ bed.

It seems like everybody, eventually, gets a redemption in this strip. Except Ann Awful.

“Awwwww” is a word with several meanings. I am awed. Or, is that odd?

I can’t help thinking “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!”

I jokingly say “Barney Google Luann” but, with two Sundays in a row, no Luann and her bedroom, I wonder…

How hard is it to close your bedroom door and leave the cat to roam the rest of the house.

Remember the days when Luann was the star of her strip?

Look who’s growing up to be a big kitty, yes he is!!

I dunno about you guys, but I, for one, am missing seeing this strip’s namesake, Luann, and her friends.

This strip used to be about a good natured teen & her friends. Now it’s about a chubby college student who can’t pass her classes and her greasy associate who washes dishes. Welcome to 2020.

Punk is sending a message to Les; if I’m up, you’re up. Scratch me, play with me, feed me. Those are your options until I’m satisfied.

At least Les has a little kitty cat who loves him.

Awwwwwww indeed ♡. Cats are the cutest ♡♡♡.

I’ve been wanting see Les and the kitten!! He says wake up Les! Its time to play!

Just like we thought. Just when the Tiff issue was getting good…Greg drops it. Typical.

Yep – ain’t that a cat…

My bud had a cat. If she saw a glimmer dawn she demanded to be fed & would yowell & bat my friends face until she got her food. Winter wasn’t too bad but breakfast on the weekend, long before 5am, was irritating

Third Sunday strip in a row with no Luann, no DeGroot seniors, no messy room gag…

This is getting serious folks.

Where’s Luann!?!?

Les probably grabbed Punk and went back to sleep with him under the covers :)

missed opportunity: Greg should have had the clock say 7:12 !

Punk’s like Garfield’s Nermal. Never ages past kitten.

….kittens? KITTENS? Tiffany is trying to save her Dad and you give me Kittens!!!! ((snoochins))

Just wait until Les is introduced to the wonderful world of hairballs.

That’s why you have to roust your snoozing cats during the daytime, so they’ll be inclined to sleep most of the night.

I would never live with a cat. Punk is cute, but I need my sleep at night to survive.

This is soooooo familiar!

Monday: Tom has chest pains …

You’re making me like Les.

Very nice artwork, it is not easy to capture the grace of a cat.

Cats are cute, but that is one reason I prefer dogs, although they can do the same thing. My spouse will allow me to get a dog, after all these years I finally really want one, but it might be harder for a cat, but then they are cute. If I could get one who always comes home, leaves the dog alone, and who I would not break put in hives, and hay fever then maybe.

What is Luann up too? Tired of Tiffany

That’s my life, thanks to these guys: https://www.facebook.com/1496446644/posts/10222991224357847/

This is Sunday. Where is Luann’s messy room?

If you enjoy Les’ cat, try “Ten Cats” and “Breaking Cat News” here at GoComics. Both are charming and sweet.

Mine has decided that 7AM is wake up time. That is an improvement over the 5AM calls I got when he was a kitten.

Les has turned into a softy.

How Cat of Punk!

After reading all those complaining about Luann not being featured in the midst of the Tiffany arc reminds of the famous saying supposedly by Abraham Lincoln in a speech in 1858 about fooling some of the people some of the time but not everyone all the time. (I could think of a certain contemporary politician, whose name I will never admit in this forum, ) Either they hate her when she is on the forum, or they hate when she is off the forum. I started this back when she was a fat faced little romantic girl crazy in puppy love with a boy who didn’t know she existed, but she is now a 19 going on 20 year old 21st Century young woman who inhabits Luannverse. It’s a much bigger story still around characters we have known for nearly 40 years. I understand it that way and enjoy it as it and they develop. I am neither some or all.

this is “AWWW” ful.

Just about 4 hours or so till we start into the coming week’s fireworks.

I’m fastening my seatbelt for the roller-coaster ride. :-)

A few nights on the other side of the door to the bedroom cures this problem I found. It has worked with all my cats. The only problem is, is that you have to put up with loud meowing for the first few minutes the first night.

Aww! Phooey! Go ’way, Punk!

That kitten isn’t growing very fast.

I thought I’d leave a memorial to Mr. Cliburn of his 1958 victory at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Russia. The two countries were in the the middle of the Cold War. Cliburn was an American playing Russian Music, but he played like a Russian. After the performance, the audience jumped to its feet yelling “First Prize! First Prize!” The judges were uneasy. Cliburn was clearly the winner, but did they dare give first prize to an American? Khrushchev was in the audience, so the judges had a conference with him.. Khrushchev said, “Is he the best?” The judges said, yes, that he was the best. Then Khrushchev said, “Well, give him first prize!” And they did. The rest is history. Here is Van Cliburn playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto #1 in B flat minor.

“200”

Personally my nasty side thought of something GnK aren’t ready to dare yet, drawing Gunther in bed with Bets at night, given where we are today; hey it’s Sunday night nobody reads these. We are waiting on the Tiffany saga after all.

okay finally a funny one with Les
