Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 30, 2021

poor Luann

Ouch… I think? I don’t really know if that’s supposed to hurt.

She looks like Rocky Balboa after the big fight.

Wanna have some fun?

Blank out the balloons in your mind, and then create your own captions.

A female version of Dennis the Menace after a fight.

Without Bernice, Luann won’t have a buddy to complain?

Poor Luann you look like you beat up in a 12 round heavyweight fight.

I’ve come to hate Bernice so much!

I hope the Nil and Bernice drama has ended.

This is nothing compared to how Luann looks here:

.

Hope no one has nightmares…

Oh, Luann, sweetie-pie, you REALLY needed to stop after poking your eye. Getting flashbacks to when I went to do mascara and braced my elbow not on the counter, but straight on top of my flat iron. That took actual months to heal…

what did you use to apply the face scrub…a belt sander?!?

If she poked her eye so hard that she can’t open it and it’s all swollen.. She needs to go see a Doctor right away!

And the lesson here?

Luann is an “accident” waiting to happen.

Especially in the powder room.

I Swear, even Tara looked better.

And She got hit by a car. ;)

It seems to be one of those days for Luann. She must be concentrating or worried about something because she isn’t giving herself full attention when getting herself ready. One little thought elsewhere, and those kinds of accidents happen. Maybe she is angry about something to have rubbed that hard.

Luann is not ugly, but her best cards to play are her friendly girl next door personality and her decent body. Shorts and a tank top should work well for her.

Wow Bernice…not the time to throw shade…jeesh!

Make-up used to be lead based. Women used to wear corsets so tight they could barely breath. Women in China used to bind their feet to keep them tiny.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

It’s suppose to be the “After” that is appealing, my dear.

This is a variation on the “You should have seen the other guy” old-time vaudeville joke.

28 years later and she’s still having makeup problems.

This reminds me of a co-worker back when I was working. She was a rather pretty black girl. One day when she came to work her face was splotchy, like she had been beat up. I was appalled that that could have happened to her. Turned out she hadn’t had time to put on her make-up that day. I was seeing the unevenness of her skin tone. I was so naive back then that I didn’t know it was problem they faced.

This is why I’m only bepowder cheeks and brush eyelashes carefully.

Maybe she tried applying all this while driving? Have seen women doing that many times over the years of commuting to work.

“Bad as I look, I looked worse before.”

At least Bernice doesn’t fall for all that billion dollar makeup BS that so many do!

At least she realizes she’s an attractive young woman and is making an attempt to be ‘gorgeous’. In recent months she’s seemed so dowdy and modest, almost as if she doesn’t want to be looked at. Not the girl we used to know!

OUCH! The pain! But you have to admit, Luann’s hair are fabulous today.

What kind of face scrub does Greg think women use… steel wool?

Been there. sigh

I’ve seen my sisters do this before..

Beauty is Pain

And you shoulda seen the other guy.

Well, at least Luann didn’t attempt to pin her hair back with “Gorilla Glue”.

If she had said this to the hospital emergency department, they would have suspected domestic violence and notified the police.

It’s hard to get paint of an old barn

How about storyline with Tiffany and Ox who has a platinum card?

Didn’t Evel Knievel make a comment like that after a failed jump attempt in reference to previous failed attempt?

Before, she was the cute girl next door. Now,….I really don’t know.

Luann, you were always gorgeous. Inside and out

It’s nice to finally see them in short sleeved shirts! That doesn’t seem to happen much.

“Learn the lesson, chickie! Nils belongs to ME now!”

1. What the heck did Luann use for a face scrub, a block of rough cement with jagged bits of glass sticking out?!

2. Was she driving if she poked her eye with the mascara wand that hard?

3. This is one of those moments where it pays to have naturally curling hair.

She did a much better job at Luann Againn.

Can Luann be such a dunce?

It’s funny how this matches up perfectly with today’s ‘Luann Again’. And here I thought the Sunday strips were one-offs…

When I was first starting to use makeup I poked myself in the eye with the mascara wand a few times. Not a pretty sight. I finally mastered it though. Unfortunately these days my dry eye prevents me from using any eye makeup. So I’m back to relying on my “natural beauty” HAHA! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. : (

Remember this is Luannverse, we read it, and all the world we enjoy is hers. Being hilarious is her basic mission. For trolls (not that it will matter) consider that when the impulse to troll comes up.

Poor baby. Wish Bernice was a bit more sympathetic.

Luann doesn’t need all that stuff. She’s naturally pretty. All she needs is a nice genuine smile to look good.

Gads! Anyone who pokes their eye with a mascara brush hard enough to make it swell shut, scrubs their skin raw and then burns a scar into their forehead with a curling iron has got to have that condition where they don’t feel anything. Or maybe a condition where they can’t concentrate? Or something wrong with basic reflexes.

I hope she’s not going anywhere like that!

So this is what they mean by ‘fashion victim’.

“Hm? Oh yeah, I bet you looked terrible. Now let me tell you about MY week!”

First look at her and I almost called 911……

she looks like a DV victim…

Bernice is exactly like my best friend in highschool. What was I thinking back then? Always pointing out flaws and mistakes.

like I keep saying, reality is best left un-messed with

All 3 of those injuries could have easily been avoided by anyone who was not using those products for the first time. This looks like something a 12 year old would do the first time she uses a curling iron or mascara.

I have scrubbed very vigorously with an exfoliation glove and never left burn marks on my face. Luann would have noticed the pain if she scrubbed hard enough to leave marks and she would NOT have scrubbed that hard all over her face.

I get the curling iron burns….lots of them, unfortunately! Cute banter!

“You shoulda seen the other guy!”

Been there, done that. All of it!

Keep her away from the eyelash curler. One jerk and eyelashes are gone!

This doesn’t make me feel comfortable. I think this is a bad comic today

Funny it’s the same plot on “Luann Againn” today. But she was successful there. It proves her skills at makeup got worse over the years.

Oh, come on, people. It’s a comic strip. These people aren’t perfect any more than you or I. And for those who won’t acknowledge it, I can guarantee that age and experience with makeup application doesn’t matter. This can (and usual does) happen to any woman at any age when they’re preoccupied, which is what I get from Luann. Cut her some slack. You, too, Bernice.

Luann tries too hard

“You Can’t Makeup This Stuff!”

“Face Value”

“Facing Disaster”

“Scrub The Mission”

“Starting From Scratch”

“Aye, There’s The Rub”

“Rub The Wrong Way”

“Brush With Failure”

She seems to be all fingers and thumbs with make up.

A sad note:

Singer B. J. Thomas passed away on Saturday.

R. I. P.

With friends like herself, who needs enemies?

Oh, well. Luann and I both did something stupid today. She did the above, and I stepped on what I thought was damp mud and sank almost hip deep. I had to be rescued by a bystander.

So, just another day in the Torture chamber.

Your beauty shines from within, Luann.

Oh, wait. No, it doesn’t….

Age and experience don’t always guarantee that an accident won’t happen. I was 35 or a little older when I decided to glam up my normally short nails (for nursing school) with some artificial nails. They weren’t very long; just enough to look more dressy than usual. I then proceeded to put in my contact lenses, and managed to poke my eye because I wasn’t used to that nail length. So hubby and I had a lovely night out with our friends, with my lovely new nails and my bloodshot eye! (I did go to the doctor and got antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eyedrops). No more artificial nails for me!

I’m sorry, but I LAUGHED when I saw this one!!! Poor Luann!
