Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 14, 2021

BuzzKill!

18 years since my HS graduation

can’t add that far anymore let me see 68 _21 equal 32 plus 21 hmm 53 minus 6 months

I threw mine away at my grad ceremony. Think it landed up on the scoreboard in the gym. Wonder if it’s still there….

The women had hair under their gowns too…

A trophy wife wouldn’t say something like that

lol, he should just shave his head. Bald can be beautiful too.

All I have is a group class photo, and my diploma. Couldn’t afford a class ring, or the yearbook.

I thought living in the Real World took care of that.

This strip has just gotten too mean spirited with the daughter doing the writing.All the characters do is make nasty jabs and comments towards each other.Way too negative almost every time.

They made us give the gown and hat back. The fee we paid was a rental. We could keep any ribbons or tassels, of course.

I rented my caps—all 3 of them. Graduated from high school 56 years ago, from college 52 years ago and from medical school 46 years ago.

Could be worse Frank, she could have made a crack about you fitting into you gown!

What a biotch

NANCY! THAT WAS MEAN!!!

Dang, what was _that_for? It’s like the Lockhorns here.

Geez, Nancy – the least you could do is give Frank a few pieces of double – sided tape to stick on his head to keep his cap from sliding around. Fortunately, at 64, I still have most all of my hair and all 32 teeth.

Killjoy waz here….

High school caps and gowns are usually rented… All you keep as the tassel.

“I can feel the optimism… and bits of the mouse nest I dumped out when I found this up in the attic.”

What about it?

Add class of ’74 to the list. Was 16. Associates at 18, Bachelors at 21 after taking a year off.

“Buzzkill?”

You ain’t seen nothing yet Frank.

Just wait until you find out that Nancy sold your “Icky old” left handed Fender Stratocaster that was once owned by Jimi Hendrix, to this “Ed” guy.

And sold it for five bucks. ;-)

Hair today gone tomorrow.

I graduated a few months ago.

I had to give my cap back along with the gown.

That’s what marriage partners are for.

I was losing my hair already in high school. One friend was basically bald at 16.

That was a bit mean.

I still have all 3 of my yearbooks from high school. I was just thinking yesterday that I should maybe give them up, as my offspring sure won’t want them. Anyone give them up and regret it? I don’t ever go back and look at them. Maybe one look and toss?

I still have 2 graduation gowns from when my kids graduated. What are we supposed to do with them? Of course they could not both wear the same gown 5 years apart, the school’s rules.

Given how much the US has fallen into a sinkhole this past decade, I’d worry more about the loss of youthful optimism than the loss of my hair…

Forty-three since mine!

46 for me. “We’re sexy, we’re alive! We’re the class of ‘75!!!!!!” How time flies. Still remember it like it was yesterday.

My cap was rented. My hair was repossessed.

Wow. Rude and uncalled for remark from Nancy, even if it is Frank. There are sure a lot of bad vibes in this comic strip lately.

Academic garb for graduation is rented, not bought. After the ceremony you have to put the gown and mortarboard back in the box for collection by the faculty or whoever. So Frank wouldn’t still have his old mortarboard, and GK should have come up with a more plausible gag.

Buzzkill really Frank i don’t think so.

Yep. years after graduation means less hair, but more weight.

Oh, the world sucks that out of us right quick.

If she mocks his hairline can he mock her saggy boobs?

I got a bill for tuition in my cap

40 plus years.

It’s a mortar board, NOT a “cap”. Obviously failed to graduate…

I feel obligated to add my voice to the chorus of those who are rightly disappointed today in Nancy’s uncalled-for putdown.

Come on Nancy, don’t tell us your hair isn’t dyed….

Ah, wife embarrassing husband….almost a meme

For high school it was a rental. For college I was working an afternoon shift and didn’t go to the ceremony.

If I were Frank I’d worry less about my hair and more about my weird sideways mouth.

grad in 53. Not so long ago really.

Did Frank go to college? I don’t think he would have been that attached to his H.S. mortarboard if he had. (Also, as people here have mentioned, caps and gowns are usually rentals.)

" wuh…whahhh….."

I’m fortunate in that aspect. I’ll be 60 next month and still have a full head of hair.

I’ve got an idea: what if EVERYONE stopped reading this strip? Let’s have a general strike!

Nan in her reading specs, Frank with his mortarboard covering the bald spots!

What a youthful, vigorous couple—or they could be, if not for the strain of dealing with non-maturing Luann….

It’s amazing, Frank. All those years since your graduation, and not once have we ever seen you WORKING A JOB!
