Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 07, 2021

I heard Joel has an unopened demo CD from Nirvana. …Is that true?? LOL

Harsh.

noone is a mind reader. its not fair to come.to the conclusion you e been rejected, when you haven’t communicated clearly! hopefully youve married soneone you can be at ease with , and this isnt an uncomfortable topic.

This is a Sunday comic that could be the start if an arc. Substantive with no panels wasted in my op. Pretty cool.

I don’t know… You’d think Brad and Toni would be making good use of any time that Shannon isn’t over there. =)

Hah! Can’t wait to see the comments on this one… so many ways to joke about this.

“How long has it been since we had a night without Shannon…”

“…a night without TJ…”

“Come on, Toni! I swear I’ll wear a condom!”

She’d be angry if he teased her half as much

One time.

The one time Toni and Brad are alone together and Shannon isn’t dumped on them, and the “Mrs” is not “interested.”

And Toni?

I think a simple, “Not tonight, Hon,” would have been sufficient.

Toni’s not for the mood for lovin’..right now.

This strip is getting a little blue, just like……

Things are a little salty today!

Uh – What IS going on between Brad & Toni?

Dig the lecherous look on Brad’s face in the second panel.

Brad, it’s family-hour, keep it clean and in your pants.

Yum. Popcorn. Ready in 3 minutes……………..

I hate when Brad gets “romantic”, it usually ends up being like a sticom.

She’s toying with him, which is easy to do!!!

Probably not her safe day.

Yup! Been there too!

Preach it!

If you have to ask, it’s been too long.

Well, Brad – maybe she will butter your popcorn. That sneaky Greg and his innuendos…

Brad wants hot buttered sex!

Brad: “Toni, I think it is time for us to go have a child.”

Toni: “Sure. Just put it in a dish and slide it under the door – I’ll get it later…”

i’ll bet edda and amos don’t have talks like this…

I think Toni knows exactly how to pull Brad’s chain! She must try to think of a new line every time they have a free evening without Shannon around, this time popcorn, next time a hot fudge sundae and the following…??

Toni knows how to prank Brad. She’s absolutely adorable AND painful. As a child, she probably was a lot like Shannon.

I can’t believe it’s not butter! Time for a Wesson Party!

Come on, Tori. He just wants to have a little sex.

Doesn’t leave the impression that there will a Brad, Jr, or a L’l Toni anytime soon.

Here comes the pregnancy arc. Remember you read it here first folks.

What happens BEFORE foreplay…

At their age ‘how long has it been’ should be counted in hours!

Should have stayed single, Brad. Sex doesn’t exist after marriage.

Yeah, after toying like this, she would be wise to “put out” later in the evening..

They’ve been married for what? 20 minutes? Mismatched libidos strike again. I predict a call to Dan Savage from Brad in the morning.

Apparently SHE doesn’t want hot butter!

I guess the honeymoon is over! ;^ )

She knows that she can have it any time she wants, so it’s easy for her to “misunderstand”.

Looks like the bloom is off Toni’s rose tattoo!

HER ANSWER SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HOUR AGO

Hot butter? Reminds me of Brando in Last Tango in Paris.

Tease much? By the way given the playful sexual tension here, it’s a given that Toni is a certified BABE so check out her profile in panel 4. Cook your dinner so hot.

Welcome to the marriage world for the guy. After about the first year, the frequency of “roll’n in the hay” starts to diminish. After 20 years it starts to drop exponentially. You become thankful if it’s once a month.

A friend says that the world’s best anti-aphrodisiac is wedding cake.

I think Toni has read Brad’s mind, something that wives seem to be able to do with ease, and, isn’t in the mood-right now, so she’s playing obtuse to let Brad down easy.

Trouble in Paradise?

Brad, 2 times in 28 years, I went 18 months… not my idea!Now, it’s 3 years… but she passed away in 2019

Did someone say this was a „family“ strip?

The irony is, not long ago (perhaps the week this strip was drawn), we had two full weeks of Kip and Stefi doing „Love – itis“ (with apologies to J. Geils).

And when it comes to perhaps the only young married couple in this strip…

I don’t know but it looks like you’ve just been rejected!!!

Now you’re portraying her as a Jillian type.

Brad may need to be a lot more frank with Toni!

Apparently, that activity is more enjoyable for Brad than it is for Toni. Maybe he should work on making it better for Toni if he wants it more.

Yep, that’s how it starts…

I think we all know what “hot butter” means..Wink,wink

Brad, you shouldn’t have to ask – for that information.

Also, welcome to marriage.

So Greg Evans has captured that moment when we discover that our partner has lost interest. Good times!

This sounds like a job for Tijuana Bibles….

She knows where he was going with his question, but purposely interrupted him because she is not in the mood for that kind of love; and as it is the case with some couples in real life, she is obviously manipulating this relationship, because it is not about what HE wants, it is about what SHE wants!

Ann Landers: “Never say ‘no’”.

Yeah, that look on her face in panel 4 says she knows what she’s doing.

She is toying with him but damn Toni did you have to be so cold.

My guess is that Toni comes back wearing that filmy negligee that Brad gave her for Valentine’s Day. And a bowl of popcorn.

he’s a two pump chump, she doesn’t get satisfied

Sorry Brad, she’s not in the mood. Of course most wives are never in the mood, about 90% of the time!

If she’s avoiding, there’s a reason. Chill, Brad.

Brad is really very sweet. Well, both of them are, actually, a sweet couple. But I hae me doots about whether words are the best way to trigger an amorous response. (By the way, Brad’s and moods are conveyed with impressive economy, here. Toni’s, too.)

If you have to ask, then the answer is too long…

Mmh… time of the month or just not in mood, Toni?

Is Toni forcing Brad to unwillingly participate in NNN?

I realize that Toni is joking but I am interested in noting that Brad says it’s been quite a while. I wonder whether she’s lost a bit of enthusiasm (or whether she and Brad need to have a frank discussion about her needs as well as his in that department)…

Why is he asking her “how long has it been” and “when was the last time”? He should know how long it’s been. Wasn’t he present at the time? Maybe she’s supposed to say “Why Brad, it’s been 2 days, 14 hours, 32 minutes”. It’s a stupid hint made with dumb questions. I wouldn’t take it seriously either. He can do better than that. And just a personal opinion comment for Greg and Karen – they should rename this comic strip Sex Innuendo, because that’s pretty much what it’s all been about for a while now. Are one, or both of them, having a libido issue, mid-life crisis or second childhood? Maybe they adopted the “sex sells” policy…for a comic strip.

Looks like Toni is serving up a milkshake.

Brad ain’t getting any.

I feel seen.

She knows what she’s doing.

ooof. toni seems like she might be missing Dirk

I wonder where she plans to use the hot butter… ;-)

I think it would have been funny – and turned it all around – if at the end Toni said, “Geez, it was just this morning!”

He absolutely wants kids and she definitely doesn’t. I don’t see this going any where. They are good friends and co-workers, with different long term goals.

Sorry, I still believe Bwad is one enchilada sort of a Combo Plate!!! A kid trying to play in the big leagues!!

Brad has been a solid “average” lately and is definitely in Toni’s league. She may be 3 stars in looks, but overall even 2 and 1/2 stars would be a stretch. She loses serious points for Shannon and Jonah. Their honeymoon was over before it started.

aaaaaaanndd that!s why I always say that if you want to stop having some action… get married!

most excellent

Brad Knows Toni has a Hot Butter.

That’s why he keeps trying to make suggestions for “Things to Do”.

Toni A) can’t take a hint; B) isn’t in the mood; C) is teasing her mate Bwad; D) is changing into something more “appropriate” (NSFW)…. Or?

yes, and you know where I like it

women

someone’s trying to avoid the subject she should just do what my wife use to do get on the phone and talk to someone till midnight by then I’ll be asleep

I mean I’m not gay but is brad getting better looking with age?

she says hot butter then walks away with that body omg

Sigh, I know how he feels. I feel the same but my husband is more like Toni in that regard.

Phrasing

I guess she’s not in the mood

If being playful involves being cruel, then it ain’t play.
