Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 02, 2021

If there was, they’d probably look at our society and decide they want nothing to do with us.

that question of yours, Luann, has been pondered for ages, not just now

Doesn’t it seem like this could be a strip from 1988? Definitely phoned in today.

I guess they’re depressed Gunther walked out on them. LOL

Bernice is wondering if there was any life on Earth. Yes, but you won’t find it hold up in a bedroom all day.

Just as they were at age 13. Two kids who can think of nothing to do. Come on, Greg and Karen. You can do better than that.

Bernice, Luann sets you up perfectly and that’s your answer.

Monday back to the Gunther and MIA Bet’s and the two friends Bernice and Luann trying to help Gunther as Gunther to Les and Punk for some healing.

Go have a torrid affair with Jack.

Well, at least they’re not arguing. That’s something, I guess….

At least Calvin is wasting this day watching TV. The girls aren’t even doing that.

Strips like today’s make me feel like Greg and Karen have an extremely low opinion of today’s teenagers / young adults.

If this isn’t a plug for double glass windows, then there really isn’t any overt purpose to today’s strip other than to fill in a blank space.

Sometimes in Winter

Just get out and DO SOMETHING!

Hmmmm.

Go out and buy an ant farm.

Look at it.

“We” are the “ants.”

Sleep tight……, ;)

While they’re pondering, a couple of songs to set the mood:

….But if you’re bored then you’re boring……

Esa misma pregunta se la hacía repetidamente Carl Sagan, quien junto a Frank Drake diseñó diseñó el mensaje emitido por el recientemente colapsado radiotelescopio de Arecibo, además de idear la inclusión de los discos de oro en las sondas Voyager, ambos casos por si había alguna civilización inteligente que los encontrara.

Take your age and divide it by three. That’s how much of your limited lifespan you have already spent asleep.

So don’t waste the awake part. Time is limited.

Over thousands of years, many have pondered what the meaning of our life is. If extraterrestrial life forms were to observe us from a distance for many years, they might draw the conclusion that we are nothing but carbon – based life forms that spend our lives moving things from place to place.

Luann needs to grow up and get out of the house! It’s time…

The real answer is the punchline to boredom, not the actual question that Luann asked. Kind of a nice twist on the Sunday break panel.

Life!! Don’t talk to me about life!

Ignore it, you cannot like it!!

I love the last panel. Even Puddles recognizes the banality of this conversation.

Get a life, goils.

Has someone been sticking pieces of blank paper all over the walls? Maybe it’s this room that’s getting them down.

I think if aliens were watching us, we’d look like ants to them. We’d be seen as creatures scurrying and dashing from one point to another. One moment we have so much (grocery shopping or piling all our stuff in our homes. Then we empty it out because of a move or maybe we junk a car. Some may get another, or walk away empty handed. Just what are those creatures doing?? They’d think!

Once about 25 years ago (! … how time flies!) I took the train in Chicago to go to see family in Missouri. We were in a huge line that snaked around in labyrinth kind of way… up one lane, back down another lane towards the spot we’d just left and around a corner heading the opposite direction again. Don’t know if that makes sense (weaving up and down like the way a labyrinth maze does.).

Anyway, that day I imagined looking down on us and we were the ants!

The aliens might say: Gosh those ants are carrying more than their weight(the luggage)… how do they do that?? :-}

Luann, Bernice is not the best person to ask. Throughout the page of this Sunday you have always moved and she has remained in the same position without moving in the slightest. I would ask to myself if there’s life IN her!

This one has been around since the discovery of boredom, which came soon after the invention of labor saving devices. Throw out tech and start making your own clothing (spinning a single thread at a time and using a hand loom) and boredom will start looking attractive.

Zzzzzzzzz!!

Why are people wasting money and resources on looking for intelligent life on other planets? Shouldn’t they try to find it here first?

We use to go for long rides on Sunday afternoon.

You never know, Bernice. Some have found inhabitable exoplanets.

Where are they? That’s too clean to be Luann’s room.

“Do Not Disturb”. The girls have captured a moment in time that has peace and contemplation, free from politics and protest riots.

And the message is – don’t worry about finding life, go out and get a life!

Once, in the Carl Sagan era, the argument was how could there not be. Now, the more we see and observe, the thinking is more like how lucky we are to have made it to now. One of the unestimatable factors is the question of how long an intelligent species manages to survive. We modern humans have only been around for a few hundreds of million years and capable of extra planet communication for a century or so.

the 3rd panel (where Luann is looking out the window) is strangely depressing. The view from outside is of two persons in a prison cell with expressionless faces, the prison of their own routines.

Since neither of them seem to be able to have a relationship with a guy…maybe they should take this moment to explore their possibilities. Just saying…come on Greg, Do something with these girls! Their suspended sexually does get really tiresome.

Ain’t that the truth!!!

This strip without Bets.

If they’re giving each other the cold shoulder, it’s not working.

Another Sunday lame Luann in her bedroom doing nothing gag.

Very interesting……..

Did anyone notice that today’s Luann in Spanish is a completely different comic from this one?

Is it just a mistake or was it purposeful? Any know more?

I’m in a line of work where there should be intelligent life, but there isn’t.

The truth is out there. But I’m too tired to go looking for it.

The aliens saw us irradiate our planet in the 40s and 50s, and decided to wait another century or two to see if we get any smarter.

The Wi-Fi must be out and their phones are lost or broken.

Look at a galactic map and see where we are. Too far out in the boondocks

I live by myself and have had almost no in-person contact with other humans for over year, and I have more excitement in my life than these sad little new adults.

Ah, life in Covid 19 World

There’s no life in this comic strip

These two are doing a pretty spot-on reenactment of the Pablo Escobar meme, I gotta say.

Life on this planet, of course. Intelligent life, sporadic at best…..

“Is there life on Mars?”“Oh, a little bit on Saturday nights.”

Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here.

These two are acting just like the people of their age group at my job. Sitting around looking at their phones waiting for something to happen. No get up and go, no work ethic, can’t find something to do even when there are obvious needs all around. It would be great to see them actually put in an honest days’ work.

funny today

If you look up at the stars at night, and realize each one that you see, along with the billions that you don’t see, is home to it’s own solar system, it’s pretty certain to assume there is other life out there.

The best proof for intelligent life on other planets is that none of them has tried to contact us yet.

Life on this planet isn’t the problem, it’s intelligent life that we need.

This looks to be another Covid without Covid strip. It emphasizes how housebound Luann and Bernice are without explaining why they are housebound.

Intelligent life – n. any alien being smart enough to avoid coming to Earth.

There’s no intelligent life in that bedroom, at any rate..

Gotta agree with Bernie for once. Two Deadly Bores in extreme competition….

These girls need to get a job. Volunteer. DO something. Luann’s lack of direction and focus make her incredibly boring. And Bern is hiding her superiority complex behind being a psych major.

I once had a screen saver on my computer at work that said, “….context…”

Another person had a screen saver that said, “The purpose of life is to live it.”

And the biologists say that basically the purpose of life, all forms of life, is to reproduce.
