Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 10, 2021

I’m with Frank. Lift and firm what?

“If it works Trbek, I’ll take a dozen of them”

What’s good for the goose…?

Keine Ahnung.

!

No Frank, don’t do it !

Her knees and ankles. Thats why she put it on her face

“…worth a try.”

Creo que si fuera azul Frank tendría mayor curiosidad

She don’t need any of that stuff. Now Frank on the other hand….

Hmmm… It worked great, but only for 3-4 minutes. :(

Guess I’ll have to experiment. What if I apply it more vigorously? More gently? Circular motion or straight lines? Left handed or right? Professional application or DIY? Several times daily? Very exciting research with so many variables to account for — this could take years…

I’m with Frank.

Remember, see a doctor if it lasts more than four hours…

I am so grossed out.

It must work!! She’s never looked hotter!!!!

She’s displaying that wedding ring, the “let’s go to it” sign.

“?”

I am trying and failing to find a joke here that is not sexual in nature.

No, look under your pillow. She has left you a bottle of Viagra.

No, Frank – forget it.

The right kind of underwear can give you the lift. As for the firm, that’s her responsibility.

Frank is happy with Nancy. He is wonder about “it promises to lift and firm” . Should he pay more attention to Nancy?

No, Frank – that is not for greasing that thing with.

Frank read that clams could help him with his sex life. So, he decided to try them out, found that they didn’t seem to do much, and came to the conclusion that he was probably clamping them on too tight.

If the stuff really worked your fingers would be longer and stiffer!!!

This has got to be one of the dirtiest comic strips I’ve ever read

Nancy is really a beautiful woman ♡. Frank love her so much♡♡♡.

Alas, Frank, it may be able to “lift and firm,” but it can’t work Miracles! :)

Greg is playing blue today.

Uh Oh!

Pretty clever,Greg.

It arrived with free shipping and a money-back guarantee. But if she ordered quick enough the order was doubled. (Just had to pay a small handling fee)

Oh, Frank! You randy fox, you!

(A little slyly adult humor from G&K.)

I think he’s going to try it too.

Don’t get any ideas, Frank!! :P

“A little Dab will do ‘ya,” Frank! ;)

Ooooo… I know what he’s thinking! Unfortunately, Frank, it doesn’t work that way.

An instant face lift?

It’s a bit depressing that Luann’s parents are way more hot-to-trot than she is. Start making some moves, girl!

No Frank, it won’t work on that!

Frank, you are one lucky dude. She works on her beauty and sleeps with you.

Necessity is the mother of invention. What could possibly go wrong?

Based on 1 – Franks’ self absorbed personality, and 2 – His strong defense of their “cuddle time”, it’s hard to say what he’s thinking.

In the words of Abbott and Costello, “Don’t do it, Abbott!”

It IS her derriere he is looking at.

Probably cheaper than the pills.

One of the more clever panels (I’m avoiding the word strips given the circumstances) by Team Evans I’ve seen in a long time.

This is NOT appropriate for children!

Unless he’s thinking about rubbing it on his junk, men don’t care…

Is this what comics have come to?

Hmmm, very interesting!

“LuAnN cAn’T hAvE sEx, ThIs iS a FaMiLy-fRiEnDlY StRiP.”

O M G !

I don’t think it will work down there Frank.

Frank, it’s not going to lift and firm a certain male body part you are thinking of putting it on.

On comicsidontunderstand.com, this is an “Arlo,” and that’s not named after Guthrie.

Greg has a dirty mind…

Frank. Listen up. She’s in a skimpy negligee; she’s fixed her hair, and she’s put on lipstick. She’s in the mood. If that jar of stuff caused her to get that way, go out and get a case tomorrow. But for now, get down to the business at hand and whatever else…..

Mommy, why is today’s “Luann” funny?

Greg Evans and his dirty mind again!

To quote Larry the Cable Guy: “Now that’s funny, I don’t care who ya are…”

when correctly viewed; everything is lewd

heheheheheh!

“Uhhh…‘lift and firm’, huh? Like… Viagra?!?”

I remember a time when a man would never dream of using anything on their face except shaving cream and aftershave. Then as the workforce moved into offices instead of factories, men realized those that looked younger and more vital were getting the promotions. The men’s beauty products industry then came into being.

Give it a try, unless it contains estrogen.

Oh Greg, tell me you didn’t go there!!! Bye the way Love it…ROFL

I just noticed that the only characters in this strip who have lips are the sexually active women, Nancy, Ann, Tiffany, Toni. If Luann and Bernice ever get married (or other) will they get lips?

Um, remember, this is a family-oriented comic strip.

LOL!! :-D

So apparently, from these 10,000 comments, the phrase “family friendly” means not even alluding to (implying) sex. (Or, God forbid, birth control) . Too bad! … Totally unrelated fun fact: States that are conservative (and presumably don’t talk about, or have comics alluding to, sex) have higher rates of teen pregnancy. Why? The reign of ignorance. So yea, let’s not talk about sex or have comics alluding to it, until the children are - oh say 16? 18? And pregnant? … Anyway, sorry about the soap box chat; I need some breakfast. Tally Ho, and rock on, Greg! So cool to see your work evolve!

I don’t trust the look on his face.

I so agree with Christos above, Greg, and his Millennial daughter Karen, are doing a necessary evolution of this “family friendly” strip. I have been maintaining quite firmly, but I hope entertainingly that this evolution is happening with the main characters, now Bernice, and her dreams about hunk man Jack, who turns out to be far more than just a muscle man. Luann being the medium of this, even when she asked last year about whether Gunther was “doing it.” To me there is no doubt that he and Bets are drawn so the inference is that they are doing it, Les is not making any kind of deal about it, Uncle Al and Irma have to know she is likely sleeping over, and whoa wait what is more likely in the real world anyway? Contrary to those who want to impose their ideas of sexual maturity on cartoon drawings, the real likelihood is that healthy young adults can express their feelings and chemistry toward each other without it being a descent into forever perdition. Personally I think SHE (my Christian idea of God is female) has other things to worry about rather than two adult kids having sex. Anyway it’s a more perilous journey than it should be, at least in my way of thinking, and I think given the fact that Greg has always tried to root this hilarity ensues strip into some kind of reality. this is a clear and I think appropriate developing story.

………………….um, ew.

Great strip. Classic, in fact.

Last month’s comic? (Data 12-10)

hands are so cold, I can’t even type. ::sigh::

Viagra lotion.

Oh come on.

I honestly don’t think Gregg was implying what a lot of you took this as. But I will admit it was the first thing I thought of also.

This strip has now moved way past innuendo.

I don’t want to know.

so subtle! LOL

Where are you planning to rub that Frank?

The most clever strip that Greg ever drew involving sex does not appear in the archives. In my estimation, it was one of Greg’s best strips that displayed his sharp wit. It is the only strip that does not appear in the archives – I have read through the archives completely once, and have read through again past the point where this strip should be, and they are all there except for this one. The strip was penned for the day of September 19, 1994, and if one goes back and looks, the strip for the 18th is there instead. Clicking ahead to the next day, it shows a strip from the 20th, completely skipping over where this one should be. I wish we could still post images here, as I saved a copy of it (.gif image) when it was still available. The strip involved Fogarty and Phelps (nothing filthy, of course, just danged clever), and I am wondering as to why that particular strip is no longer available. Perhaps censors, or someone just messed up?

XXX

Well, good to know that my mind wasn’t the only to go “there”. O<|]:o)

That is indeed magic cream in that jar. When the lid is off, the lid is black. When the lid is on, it is white. Must be good stuff.

yes Frank try it on you and put some spice back into romantic life and she will thank you for it. Like the guy on the commercial “and she will like it too”

Er, lotions are sold in bottles. That’s a jar.

There—my annual comic-strip nitpick is done and out of the way! :-)

Uhh…wha? Huh? Sheesh.

Forget it, Frank. She’s asleep already.

Too late Frank, she’s already asleep.

lmao

WHOA, Frank!

For best results: cream should be applied to area of concern by another person, using long and gentle strokes.

He’s Thinking. He’s definitely Thinking about it.

Pretty racy for this comic strip.

Hilarity Ensues!! Sex, OOOOOMMMMGGGG.

It’s face-lift in a jar. Why did Nancy buy this concoction? Mid life crisis? Unspoken desires?

Careful Frank, it might also burn.

If you see something dirty in this strip, you may be the problem not the strip.

My mind went there, too. But it really could have been that Frank wants to look younger, too. And if Nancy isn’t looking, then he’d try some.

Also, what husband notices his wife has a new face cream?

Check it out Frank.

Dear God…

No, Frank! It’s either, "Take the Blue Pill, or the Red Pill !!’

… Pssst! (Not the Red Pill !!) ;)

Nancy is so beautiful in this strip.

don’t do it!
