Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 14, 2020

that could be any lady’s snoring!

It’s hereditary, Luann. When you are 47, you will be snoring louder than your mom, and your children will be making fun of you.

You know, 1212, I was with you yesterday, when you said that it was just a punchline.

But today? Looks like Luann’s “doubling down.”

When will Bern wander in and ask what all the noise is about?

This is worst than yesterday’s strip.

And here I thought they were looking for a life lesson, not shallow trivia…

This arc is putting me to sleep!

So much for yesterday’s comments where people were insisting that the opening line would lead to a more deep, profound and meaningful essay. Looks like with Luann what you see is all you get. She’s as deep as a puddle, concerned only with making her mom look bad to strangers.

I’m going to repeat my comment from yesterday. What Luann should learn is how much her mother sacrifices for the family.

No soup for you!

I remember a time when snoring was considered to be unfeminine and unladylike.

Speaking of falling asleep…

What kind of “college” class is this? “kindergarten for adults 101”?

Argythree-style dialogue two days in a row. If Evans keeps this up, what will there be left for Argythree to say?

I see that Luann has managed to include something about psychology in her essay. Tip o’ the hat to @howtheduck (as well as to Luann) for predicting Nancy’s denial.

Now that audio clip was mean, Lu. I was hoping you’d follow that opening line with an essay of explanation, “In this economic downturn, my loving, resourceful mother wanted to provide more for her family….”

But Luann wrote the essay. What was I thinking.

Auntie always said she didn’t snore, she just slept loud.

Psychology!!

Was that a Greyhound bus going by?

Next up, Tiffany gets ahold of the snoring clip and samples it for use in a hip-hop recording.

It’s confirmed, Luann thought she was going to college but registered for psychology in grade school…

Or… It’s like Milgram’s experiment. Luann is actually the subject to be studied by the real students in the class on “intellectual and maturity development blocks with some adults. Are they caused by genetic, social or familial dispositions? Or is there a deeper more mysterious reason like being written that way by some higher power?”

Panel 2: The last time I saw mouth like that, it had a hook in it…

Rotten kid

What is it with women denying that they snore?!? Does snoring violate some ‘Dainty Clause’ in a woman’s contract?!? Like, “Jebus! I can’t admit that I snore! I’ll get fined by the Couth Squad for being uncouth!” My kid used to say to my wife, “Mom, you snore 10 times worse than Dad does!” and yet she still refused to believe it.

Record the denial Luann!

Very rude, Luann. Think about loving your long-suffering Mom instead of humiliating her….

Jeez, Luann.

She’s heading for the dreaded CPAP machine, the “face hugger” contraption from Alien that is strapped to the face of many +40 people in America.

You learn something new every day.

It’s time for Nancy to see a doctor. Sometimes snoring is a sign of breathing problems. Luann may have been rude. But I love how she’s resourcefulness♡.

That is pretty clever.

I don’t know what kind of grade you’ll get on that essay but I’m sure your teacher will get a good laugh.

A little hard from Luann, especially the audio part. That said I suspect many commentors had other “competitive moments” with their parent(s) that would compare for either “one-upping” or embarrassing their parent; I’ll admit I did if you’ll admit you did;-)

Recording her snoring was mean!

OK Luann, at first it was just a little funny, but this is just cruel. So your mom, who’s been working all day, on her feet, decides to stay up with you instead of going straight to bed (so she can start her day all over again) and you . . . you . . . decide to make fun of her? You’re severely lacking in the maturity and empathy department, young lady.

I read somewhere that “snoring spouse” is something like the third highest reason why couples get divorced.

How Seinfeld-like this storyline has been.

You know, this brings back a bad memory. When I was about 15, my mom made a tape recording of me snoring on the couch. Played if for me, as well as the rest of the family when I woke up as a “joke”. I was embarrassed, angry, and everything else you can imagine. It wasn’t funny to me, and here I am, 50 years later, still simmering about it.

That little witch…!!!

Luann didn’t learn anything. Learning is an ongoing process, she’s just started.

Well, it’s just Wednesday, and this is just a comic strip.

However she does it, Mom always helps Luann.

How can ANYONE tell when they are snoring – while they are ASLEEP ??!!

Wellll … My mother (rest her heart) could tell … she said, on one night, she WOKE herself up … Because of the snoring she was doing, woke HER up … and she could hear the reverb echo in the room! … I believe her! (Miss ya’ Mom!) :)

Well this should be worth a D+.

THAT IS NOT A COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT, EVANSES

I learned that this arc makes me want to snore..

turnabout is fair play

Yesterday I said she was a jerk. Today I believe she is a brat.

As a one day stand alone comic, this could be funny. But this is more like a very, very long lasting novel. About aging children. Not adults.

I miss the comedic side of Luann. She carried the comic with her clever retorts and occasional self-deprecating humor.

Luann stop being mean.

Confession Dept. My wife and youngest daughter recorded my snoring ages ago. So don’t judge Luann poorly.

Digi-busted.

most excellent

For years I told my wife she snores but she never believed me! So, I brought home a hand recorder (30 years ago) and recorded her. I played it for her and she accused me of faking it by using a sound effect from the radio station I worked at! LOL She never believed that she snored.
