Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 20, 2021

The old saying is, don’t ask questions that you don’t want to know the answer to. Happy Father’s Day/Juneteenth weekend, everybody!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!!!

Didn’t we already have a conversation like this, but for Mother’s Day?

Didn’t she use the same words on mothers day.

For those wondering why today’s strip seems so familiar:

Not that females are lauded in this strip, but males are not really presented in a positive light.

Happy Father’s day to all dad’s

Maybe Frank thinks life wouldn’t have been worth living. Notice Frank didn’t say anything. Luann assumed what he was thinking. Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads.

Luann asked a similar question to Nancy on Mother’s Day. I think Luann is older and smarter than this.

“But don’t ask me what I think of you,”

“I might NOT give the answer that you want me to.” – “Oh, Well” Fleetwood Mac

Why is Frank painting on Father’s Day exactly?

I guess Frank was rather “frank” with Luann. I would have thought Frank would have went with the “little white lie” about how he would never change a thing. I had a professor in college for a literature class who told a fellow student: “There is no such thing as a stupid question! On the other hand I can not say the same about individuals who present certain inquiries.” Ouch…. Let it be a learning lesson Luann.

Yep…. “Don’t ask me no questions, and I won’t tell you no lies.”

We don’t actually know what Frank’s answer was, only that it wasn’t what Luann expected.

Now see what you did there, Luann – you alerted him to the human condition. He was just fine 30 seconds ago.

Neither our father (who we lost in 1959) nor our late step Dad, who raised another man’s children with love, would have said they regretted ‘giving up’ the chance to be a rock star by becoming a father. It’s a legitimate question that a kid might wonder about, from time to time, if they’ve ever seen pictures of their parents as kids, or read letters their parents wrote about things they wanted to do. So why does this particular kid have to ‘learn a lesson’ about what not to ask?

Ah, because it’s Luann. I see. If Tiffany or Bets, or, for that matter, Brad, had asked this question, it would be just fine…

Why does this comic seem to imply that you have to give up having children to become a rock star, astronaut, or the president? I can name lots of rock stars who had children. The king Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson for two. A lot of presidents had children too. Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and George Bush Senior. Why … even the QUEEN of England who is constantly at work, managed to deliver 4 children!

Awww. Poor Luann, Frank is too frank. Happy Father’s Day ♡!!!!

I thought yesterday’s strip was a good Father’s Day gift.

It’s the kind of question Calvin would ask …

Happy Father’s Day, friends!

Now you’ve sent him into an existential crisis! Happy Father’s Day indeed!

When you reach a certain age, even those of us who have been musicians know that we would never have a wealthy jet-setting rock star anyway. And probably would have hated the “jet-setting” part of it.

Don’t fell bad Luann, my Dad once told me he liked other people’s kids better because they went away at the end of the day.

Fathers are more pragmatic.

Not the most opportune time to ask that question, daughter o’mine! 8^ )

I was already in my mid 30’s when the fatherhood thing happened. Too late for the rock star bit. Plus I can’t sing and never learned to play the guitar.

Preach it, dad! Frank’s silence speaks volumes.

The correct answer is the honest one. “Sure! But I was screwed over by the endorphin rush!”

As a smart courtroom lawyer stated, “Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to”

Could have done a lot of things in my life to Frank but I have faced the Black abyss of losing self and family and being a dad, for better or worse, was part of my salvation. Of course, Lord, why not both? Oh well you know better. I know hokey, but it’s me. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all!

Happy Father’s Day, dads!

Does Frank even have any interest in music? We’ve never seen him play any instrument or sing. He could not be a rock star if he has no musical ability.

Maybe Shannon paid them a visit and took to the walls with her artistry…lol

He can’t answer because he has no mouth.

I wonder what he said to her.

Raising children is a joyless burden. Happy Father’s Day!

I love Sundays on the toon because that’s when Luann becomes the comic that it was meant to be.

He flashed ‘Juke Box Hero’ in his mind.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic02W1bWeFU

No. Being a Dad was a calling. My jobs/careers were just that. I am gone and forgotten by them; you will never forget me after I am gone….

Reality BITES, Luann!!

Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes:

“ Hey dad! Why do you live with me and mom, instead of some scantily clad female roommates?”

I would have drawn it with her being covered in paint daubs.

The hardest thing about being a Dad, is those darn Kids.

Frank, Rock Star? Nancy’s fault that Frank is a Dad.

Brad can made Frank a grandfather!

Did Frank ever nag Luann or Brad?

All I remember is him walking around looking dazed and confused.

looks like everyone is busy catching up with work or jobs around the house except Luann who always seems to have extra time on her hands.

Ha ha! (In best Nelson Muntz voice.)

Frank wins! Frank wins! On Father’s Day, Dad skunks the slouch of a daughter!

As a father, Frank is a father 24/7. Owning a house is a daily struggle to maintain the estate. Something is always breaking down, or needs an upgrade.
