Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 25, 2021

To turn a line back on Tiffany, she just got bucked!

Tiffany is Screwed! lol

Harsh.

Good ’ol Dez. Perhaps she will go in and kick some azz.

Where’s the sock on the doorknob!?!?

Did Tiffany left Stef amd ip in possession of her room? She’s lost the room right there. Never let the other party have possession!

But, Tiff – you DID get your wish!!!

I bet Casa Feral is looking pretty good about now. No obnoxious room mates, sauna, hot tub, swimming pool! What’s not to like!

Operation Break up Kip and Stef is now getting underway…..

Time for a room mate meeting. Three against 1. Out Kip goes.

He’s got three roommates.

She’s got three roommates.

Of course he should spend all his time in her room.

??

Had a similar situation once when in college. Roommate kept talking me into leaving when he brought his girlfriend over. Came in one afternoon after a long workshift at the cafeteria (a lot of us worked our way through college back then…no stupid loans) and he was there with his girlfriend…asked me to leave….told him NO this time I got 6 hours to sleep before class. He actually got the nerve to get mad and started yelling, told him to go get a &%$%# room!! A month later he moved out.

Ugh. Stick to your guns Tiff. No 5th roommate allowed.

And just like that Tiffany is turned into Piro.

Naturally, the solution is simple. Just move back into the McMansion.

Of course, that’s the “solution” Tiff won’t take. She’ll just surrender herself to be frequently “inconvenienced,” like just about all the characters in the VAST Luanniverse do.

What Tiffany SHOULD do, is go to Home Depot and purchase a case of Attwood Signal Horns. Then whenever Kip and Stef go all “Muskrat Love,” in room B, Tiff should give them a good long BLAST.

And when they ask why the heck she did that, she should tell either:

1) Her therapist Mrs. Fogary, told her that whenever she gets “stressed,” to give a couple of blasts on an air horn.

Or

2) Her religion demands making a “joyful noise.”

Or

3) It’s a part of a gang initiation.

And speaking of Piro…….., :-)

I called this one yesterday. It seemed likely that Kip would have roommate issues too. Tiffany couldn’t endure even one night trying to sleep on the bottom bunk with Stef and Kip going at it on the top bunk.

Poor Tiff can’t catch a break. But I am sure Bernice and her clipboard will straighten the lovers out.

Tiff needs a tough RA like Bernice to come in and drop the hammer if Kip wants to stay there full time. Perhaps its time for Tiff to go back to the mansion, too bad she probably already signed the dormitory contract. However, if she did not do that yet, it is time to bolt home and let Stef deal with whoever is next up on the housing waiting list!

Tff does not have time for Dez foolishness. She just got kick out of her room by the lovebirds.

Tiff and Stef will have some major issues to work out.

Maybe Kip has a roommate to whom e could introduce Tiffany?

Good grief!! Even Romeo and Juliet came up for air!!

This is easy move back home, she not a people person at all. and most kids at that school don’t care if she is there or not or anywhere!

Get Bernice on the case!

I can’t blame Tiffany for being upset. Who wants to share a room with someone who has their boyfriend over all the time, and how is Tiffany going to get any studying done? She will have to spend her time at the library, and if Kip spends the night, Tiffany will have no privacy at all.

Has G&K been reading too much 9CL?

Tiff comes from money and shouldn’t have to live with cheap sleaze. Have daddy buy you some upward mobility. Or, have good buddy Ox put the hurt on the horny quarterback and sideline him for a few days.

The best-laid plans of mice and Tif often go awry

Tiff – just go home. Drop the whole dorm idea. You still could go to college parties. I know many friends who went to state universities and still lived at home. They did not miss out on anything. Sharing rooms with other students does not translate to having wonderful times and memories. I lived in dorms because I was out of state student. I moved into an apartment during my senior year and AH! What a blessing. I was able because I had a car and could commute to the campus. My husband’s cousin was ASU student and lived in the dorm her first year and moved back home after one semester. Several of my high school classmates also went to ASU and moved back home after the first semester. Dorm living sucks. Leave that to the out of state students. Even out of state students live off campus. ASU is surrounded by numerous student apartments all around the campus within walking distance. The students have their own bedrooms – no shared sleeping quarters which trumps over the dorms as well as a shared bathroom down the hall per wing or one bathroom shared by 4 girls such as the quad Tiff is in. Either move in an off-campus apartment or go home.

Good for you Tiff.

That’s what I like about Tiffany, her altruism.

And like in the past, Tiffany’s “evil” plans have turned against her disastrously! I honestly love this. She was too confident about success and she wanted Stef as a roommate just to use her. Now she can try to: make them break up, get used to sleeping on the sofa in the common space of the room OR asks Dez and Bets for hospitality and sleep with one of them. Obviously, report this to the R.A. it’s out of the question.

Okay, if neither of them has a private room, they need to go find a hotel room. Might be cheaper if they rent it by the month.

What can make a shutout…

When you’re in the hash….

Maybe make a profit….

When you ransom it for cash….

The Nanny Cam.

The Nanny Cam can.

(The Nanny Cam can.)

Wait, this is the first time Tiffany has really spoken up for herself to set boundaries! Altho the closed door appears that she didn’t make the progress she wanted, she did try.

Knew this would happen. Tiff just can’t get a break. Still think something is going on with Tom. They were going to Maui and now money is tight. If his business was having problems, he shouldn’t be planning any expensive trips. Being well to do, you would think Tiff would have a college fund. Unless Ann got her greedy fingers into it. We still don’t know how much financial damage Ann did when she was in Tom’s life.

Personally I want to see what Dez has in mind. Tiff is answering her question so it’s reasonable to assume that the two hot-to-trots are about to embark on the next stage of making out, but Dez has a mystery answer. I know, depending on one’s feelings about Ms. Farrell, she either is getting her comeuppance or this is sad (latter camp) but in the spirit of Luannverse and hilarity ensues lets she what Dez’s miracle solution turns out to be.

Isn’t Bernice still the RA?

The best laid plans?

Sometimes, ya gotta know when to employ, “Exit stage left”. The threat alone may change her plans of romance and gain more respect. If not, then it’ll save her grief and speed up relocation efforts.

Serious housing shortage on campus.

Uh oh, Tiff’s about to dust off the old cheerleader outfit…

Honestly, I’d rather be in the mansion by myself.

I think she just doesn’t want to see or hear them take off their clothes every night.

Time to head right back to dad’s mansion!

Tiff should put her foot down. So what if “Kipper McZipper” has 3 roommates, so do you Stef. Tiff could move back home and extend the dormitory space by renting out a few of those rooms and make some moolah on the side. Daddy Warbucks is hardly there anyway.

Lol! Called it! Back to the mansion, princess. Or, maybe learn to live with real people and make friends.

Better get the bleach ready.

I knew it!

Yep, Tiff on the Quad couch in the common space. Time to call back the Dorm RA, Bernice!

The best roomate for Tiffany would have been Dez!

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men as they say…

“B” is for, Better luck next time!

I believe that the introduction of Dez into the last panel portends some sort of solution to the hormonal issues.

Gee… umm… maybe go back to your MANSION!

Just a couple of thoughts at weeks end:

1) This is a pretty standard gag ending in the comic strip world. Tiff’s thought balloon should read “Curses! Foiled again!”

2) I wonder how far Greg will carry this arc of Tiffany as a relationship mender; the “Doctor of Love.”

3) With the dynamic of the three strong characters characters to work with (Tiff, Dez and Bets), I don’t see this Stefi and Kip emphasis lasting much longer. Neither do I see Tiff moving back to the McMansion.

Tiff would have paid for the room already, she shouldn’t have to move back home. She’ll just have to tolerate having a full time roomate, and not tolerate inappropriate PDAs.

Put a sock on it Tiff. The door handle that is and occupy yourself for teh next hour or so.

There IS an obvious solution here: “Hey guys, three’s company, right? Lemme join the fun!” Kipster would go for it, and Stef looks down for over-18 collegiate fun-n-games as well.

oops

So many comments here accepting the situation. “well she’ll just have to get used to staying in the common area, or in the library for studying etc etc etc etc etc.” Bunch of noise….

Tiff, suggest threesomes and see what happens.

Start a tic tok channel called “Our Room”.

This is (1) predictable, and (2) not funny.

She should have stayed home in the first place if she wanted a private room instead of playing these ignorant games. You play, you pay.

A constant problem since dorms went co-ed

Maybe she’ll come to find Kip isn’t all she thought he was.

Tiffany is going to regret this. I never understood why she wanted to room with that birdbrain Stef anyway and Kip is no prize either. Tiffany is showing that she is a very poor judge of character—-just like herself dad was with Ann.

Now would be the time for Tiffany to say “The heck with this, I’m staying at my Dad’s huge mansion.”

Sweet Karma

I hope this is the end of this story. Who cares if rich people like to go slumming.

The best laid plans…

Bernice to the rescue….but then she and that grunge dude with the hair in the eyes will replace.

Well at least she left the room while they worked it out.

(Pregnancy to follow? Could get more crowded or less.)

I’m disappointed Tiffany gave in. She started out pretty forceful.I did wonder if he was still QB and on the team; more so now that he lost his room.Now that Tiffany got them together, will she try to break them up. Or will Dez have any sage advice, or sage tea? ;-)

No tie?

yup…backfired.

Actually, I don’t blame her…that stuff gets old fast when you are the third party!

Back to the house

I wonder why Tiff is looking so disconcerted in panel 3. Obviously it can’t be about Stef and Kip, since the God of Love has revealed to her personally that they’re meant to be together 24/7.

good for you Tiff, get tough…be serious and straight with Steffi…. except she’s not listening.

All Tiffany has to do is make Kip and Stef pay her to have the room to themselves. She can move back into the mansion and pocket their rent money every month. Then she can exclusively rent rooms at the mansion to people she approves of for that social life she wanted.

Tiffani’s getting screwed at every turn, how is Stefani related to Ann Eiffel?

Somehow I like Stefi even less now than before, which I didn’t think possible.

I have a feeling Tiffany may be moving back to her house…

Stand up for yourself, Tiff! You can do it! Boot that jerk out the door.

Here’s something Tiffany could do. Barge into the room with her cellphone, a tripod and a couple floodlights. Yell at them to keep it down because she’s livestreaming here. Set up the camera and start streaming.

Just watch Tiff you might learn something.

Not the first time someone comes along and takes over her space…

Told you yesterday.

Tiff never learns not to count those Chickens before they hatch.

I get the feeling that Stef & Kip don’t care if they have an audience or not.

Did anyone noticed that Kip Lee is not wearing his Football Jacket? In the past, he wore it all time.

Does the common area have furniture?

Desdemona just dodge the fate of having Stefani Bird as a roommate?

Tiffany’s Dad has already paid for the dorm room.

While Stef and Kip play “Tops or Bottoms?”, Tiff is left unsettled and simmering. Unfortunately, this is a very common situation at our public universities. Maybe Tiff can crash with Dez and Bets on an ad hoc basis (i.e., when Stef and Kip are having Happy Hour)….

I bet that Kip is no longer the quarterback or on the team. I wonder if Ox is still on the team?

Frustrating for Tiffany. I’d let her bunk in with me.

I guess you’ll just have to go back to living at the mansion
