Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 22, 2021

It won’t be drinking coffee. She tried it once and spit it out. Cleaning her room sounds more like wishful thinking.

Quizá sea lo suficientemente madura como para iniciar una colección.

I wonder if Luann is telling her parents “i’m a mature adult, so don’t get mad if you walk in on me and a guy having sex.” Hey Luann, if you want to get intimate with a guy, go to a hotel or take it to HIS place. Don’t have sex in your parents house.

I think it is drinking alcohol.

Alcohol, maybe sex—Frank and Nancy can’t even go there. Most parents would get there in a hot nanosecond.

You need a guy to start what most of us had pop into our brain. Unless she’s looking for a rando on Tinder.

What a wonderful opportunity for readers to unleash their great imaginations and supply an answer for Frank and Nancy. Give it a shot.

Having sex no Drinking yes.

I thought April Fool’s Day was in April.

Hilarious storyline?

Whatever it is, just be responsible, Luann, and wait until you are 21 to drink alcohol.

Start?

Making meaningful progress towards a career?Finding a new best friend?Becoming financially independent and getting a place of your own?

‘Clean her room?’ Frank’s been riding that monkey for 35 years. You would think he has dementia the frequency that he brings it up.

I remember a few years ago Luann walked in where Frank and Nancy were sitting and said, “I got it done.” Frank and Nancy gave each other the look. I think this was when Luann was dating Quill.

Smoking cigarettes ?

Clearly it isn’t articulating her thoughts clearly.

Fursuit

“Getting deliveries from Bad Dragon?”

Making sense?

BOLD

I agree with Luann. Telling them about this was the right thing to do.

I think this is an earlier strip, possibly from the Quill era, when Luann knew she was a pretty girl with a hunky boyfriend and dressed and acted accordingly.

If Sundays were continuing arcs, might find out where Luann’s maturity is going to lead.

It’s a Sunday comic, so it’s a one off.

What’s she gonna start doing? Opening up her own small business?

gotta think big I suppose.

No Luann you are not mature.

Then be “mature” enough to lock your bedroom door when doing it!

Finish College and become a responsible citizen who buys a new home?

Just more “tee hee hee” from G&K.

Frank’s idea is the absolute last thing LuAnn will ever think of doing while she still lives at home.

Nope,sorry,she’s still not mature enough for anything…

Get pregnant?

Well “gee,” Lu.

By “caught” Do you mean:

1) Counterfeiting?

2) Grand Larceny?

3) Selling fake COVID cards?

4) Voter Suppression?

5) Evading Federal Taxes?

6) Walking around in public without a mask?

7) Drinking and Driving and Drinking?

8) Illegal Catfighting?

9) Fishing without a license?

10) Releasing at bunch of balloons as some half baked “memorial tribute” only to find said balloons have knocked the power out at a nearby substation?

11) Climbing into Gunther’s bedroom window at 2 AM for a “surprise” visit, and God help you if Bets is already there? ;)

Leaves a lot to the imagination doesn’t it? I won’t try to predict, but it will a general arc artifact that I will be on the lookout for.

Luann bought a vibrator?

Crap, she’s gonna start a YouTube commentary channel where she constantly gives bad takes on politics! Somebody stop her!

I am now part of the group that thinks everyone in this strip but Luann is interesting. Have they reached the point of no return?

This feels like one of those high school era strips to me. Suggesting cleaning her room or drinking coffee? High school kids drink coffee these days. As for drinking underage, she would never tell them.

Luann did ride a subway in New York so she can do anything.

Well, it’s either drinking, sex or car warranty phone scams.

Apparently her communication skill is not that mature.

Thanks Luann. That statement will worry the parent more than the unknown act ever would…..

Lu’s new career move may likely involve wearing an Elvira, Mistress of the Night wig, hot pants, net stockings, stiletto heels, and standing on a street corner downtown.

Having sex regularly? Going on the pill?

If you thought it was a good idea to announce to your parents that you’re mature enough to do something, you’re probably not.

Riding her bike without training wheels.

Crossing the street by herself.

I don’t know why they’re confused. This is perfectly normal behavior for Luann. It means that she has decided to become a cat burglar.

I’m going with “not acting like a nincompoop”.

Luann constantly talking about how mature she is reminds me of an 8-year-old saying how grown up they are now.

I’m surprised no one yet has come up with this one:

Mature enough to start reading Nancy’s romance novels? d;o)

I wonder if the black, buttoned top Luann is wearing is a clue?

Or, could she be thinking of transferring to Moony Uni?

I wonder how often Frank nagged Brad to clean up his room? We know that Brad was a slob in the living room. Or does Frank only nag his daughter? Because it seems like Frank’s only interaction with Luann is nagging her to clean up her room. Seems terrible sexist to me,

The second panel clearly show how little Frank has behind his glasses.

Getting acquainted with the “little man in the boat?”

Bad girl!

Please move out.

That’s the beauty of vague announcements:

They cover all the various possibilities.

Male visitation?

Clearly, Frank is fantasizing. My guess is that Luann may start having a beer with her…I was going to say “friends,” but maybe I should just leave it at “acquaintances”….

Wear Daisy Duke cutoffs?

Getting a bellybutton stud?

She’s “gaslighting” them.

I remember an old ZITS arc where the title character painted his room black.

Not because he wanted to,but because he enjoyed hearing the grown-ups makereally bad guesses abut why he did it.

why is there so much detail drawing Nancy and so little creating Frank? He is almost invisible if he weren’t sitting next to his wife? Bernie270
