Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 24, 2022

Watch it, girls.

Are we tuning up for a cat fight!?!? Bring it on!

Stef’s skirt is as short as her attention span.

Good acting, Tiff! Keep it up!

Go, Tif! Fun to see a shallow character do some real maturing. Not common in the comics.

So.

Looks like We’re in for a week of Stef making snide remarks to Tiffany while doing her gosh-darnedest to be the “customer from Hell,” while boy-toy Kip does absolutely nothing about it.

And ALL of it probably culminating in a stingy dollar tip.

With Kip’s phone number written on it. ;-)

Kip’s hair is moving again.

Where did Oxford go? Wasn’t he just there last week? Is he frightened by girls who wear cheerleader outfits all the time? I know I would be.

Do it, Tiff… Grab that stupid bow off her head, and stuff it down her throat! LOL

Shade is being thrown!

A battle of wits requires someone with wits. None are here today.

Kipp is rolling his eyes that Stef didn’t catch Tiff’s Insult…ha ha

M E O W!!!

I was looking a the character stef and I came to realize that she was a former shell of what Tiffany used to be in high school. Now Tiffany is now in Luann’s shoes and fighting over Kip with Stef. It mirrors when her and Luann fought over with Aaron hill during their high school years.

Server rule: “Be nice to the customer no matter what. If they go too far then the manager will take care of it. Always be polite.”

You can get them later after work. ;-) “Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap!” (Thanks, Angus).

Delivered properly, it would not seem insulting. Go, Tiff!

Why is Tiffany is acting strange? Stefani Bird has a tight grip on Kip Lee.

Tiff always could hold her own when there’s nasty exchanges.

Kip Lee doesn’t wear his football jacket anymore?

Why is Stefani Bird pointing her finger at Tiffany’s uniform? Fashion Police?

Where is TJ? TJ is clever than Stefani?

Stef’s “costume” sweater looks like an advertisement for MacDonald’s.

Where is Kip Lee’s leash?

Shifty eyed Kip is scoping out the new territory and going into a stalking mode for Tiffany. Now what?

Will “Hall A Gang” made an appearance?

Assuming that (as seems likely) Tiffany gets Kip and Stef’s table, I’m wondering how she’ll behave. Will she fawn all over Kip and ignore Stef, thus losing points with both of them (or anyway with Kip, since I doubt she has many points to lose with Stef)? Or will she step up her acting game, hide her irritation with Stef, give excellent service, and pretend not to notice Stef being rude and condescending to her in return (while hoping that Kip does notice)?

With all of the passive aggressive back-stabbing, it’s a wonder that either of them have time left over to breathe

I noticed that the bottom half of Steffi’s logo on her top is no longer there – there was always the “M” above, and a “U” directly under it, for Moony Uni.

I’m not in the mood for “Stef.”

Actually, Stef, yours is tackier. You wear it everywhere. It is just a cheerleading uniform so why do you wear it everywhere and everyday? Because it is your identity? To assure your position as a cheerleader who is a girlfriend of a football player? How Sad! Tragic. At least Tiff wears her work uniform….at work.

Seems to be an auspicious start to the week.

If Tiffany loses her job because of this “witch” I will riot! Then it’ll be a repeated story arc because the same thing just happened with Luann. This also makes me wonder why Nancy didn’t offer Luann a job at her cafe in the first place.

Being tormented by a very pretty, shallow, egotistical girl in a cheerleader outfit. Why does that sound so familiar….?

So much for acting…. and each table in my stage….

First time Kip has ever seen Stef move her finger like that without actually touching….

Kip’s expression: “Yes ladies fight over me …I’m worth it..” (¬‿¬)

I’m more and more sure that this can’t end well. Tiffany is unable to keep her “waitress act” with Stef. But Kip seems amused… interesting!

Maybe this is the arc where Kip cuts that bee-yotch off for good.

I sure hope so!!

Tiffany could have torched this encounter with a reply like, “Kip, is Stef being rude to me?”

Okay.

So, I cheered in high school back in the day, but we NEVER wore our uniforms out. We showered and changed into jeans and a top.

Does Stef not own any other clothes?

Hit her Tiff, punch her right in her “shoog”

Is Tiff now getting a taste of what she used to put Lu and others through in high school?

It’s not a costume, it’s a uniform.

One quick sucker punch to her wretched face should do it Tiff!

This will not end well.

They’ll probably start banging on the table, and I don’t mean slapping it.

Zing

Why does she have the MacDonald’s logo in black on her shirt?

Good! Tiffany is frying Stef back! 6 more days of this arc.

Well, at least Luann was the focus for a short time, although most of the time we were focusing on Bernice. One of these days the title character of the strip will have a storyline that will actually last more than two weeks.

NOOOOOO more Tiffany.

Tiff seems to forget that during high school, Stef’s outfit was her’s.

Hard to believe there would be a character here who is a whole order of magnitude more of unlikable than TIff.

Kip’s kinda a, well, shrimp, isn’t he?

why is she perpetually shown in her cheerleading outfit?

Nice work, Tiffany. ;-) Keep that snark going to get through this; her insults only have power if you let them.

Stef is about the only female character than can make Tiffany more likable. Except maybe Ann Eiffel…

If Kip is enthralled with someone like Stef there can’t be much to him either. You’ve been making strides, Tiff, don’t go backward.

ooo. burn.

Kips hair flipped again. It seems to Lear which ever direction he is looking …

Go get her Tiff

Tiff has a surprisingly sharp brain and tongue, which will serve her well in the future, methinks!

Kip keeps getting smaller and smaller. No way he’s a football star. Maybe a play date with Shannon is more his size.

Good one, Tiff!!!!

And to think that this was Tiff back in her high school days. Seems Stef also needs a reality check. Goofy chick keeps trying to pick fights.

Ouch…….

Kip looks like he agrees with Tiff! Saucer of milk, table two!

Move on to another story line.

Shoog?

Tomorrow, Bernice enters and thinks she’s going to solve everyone’s problems. In the second panel Tiffany and Steff look each other in the eye, nodding in agreement. The third panel shows both of them socking Bernice in her know-it-all, buttinsky face. An optional fourth panel could show Gunther watching another girl streak across the room.

Looks like they had to remove the U that made the cheerleader outfit look like a Rolling Stones shirt.

Hard to compete with a cheerleader outfit.

Does Stef OWN any other outfits!?

Funny how Tif grew up cause Stef is how Tif used to be.

Does she wear her cheerleading outfit everywhere? I thought it was only for game days.

I’m predicting an attempted dine-and-dash! I hope Stef and Kip end up washing dishes!

Teff those are fighting words when another girl throws a digs at you just to be her mean nasty self.

Kip’s a mannequin, isn’t he?

That image on Stef’s shirt looks like a bat.

I did not know this was a cartoon about cats

Glad someone finally mentioned the ridiculous cheerleader outfit. Looks like even Kip is tired of it.

Stef you need to shutup and disappear. Besides the stupid airheaded personality and the stupid cheerleading outfit that you seem to have been wearing forever which probably stinks unless you wash it every day.

Reading over many of the comments, I’m obviously not the only one who wants Tiffany to knock that cheer leading POCs teeth down her throat.

Now that I’m thinking about it it makes me wonder if Evans borrowed off that old MTV show Daria. There was a character named Brittany and that’s all she ever wore every day on every episode that she was in was the same cheerleading outfit and she had a boyfriend who was a jock and all he did was wear his football uniform every day.

Does Tilted Kilt still exist anywhere?

I really don’t understand the town of Pitts. Its large enough to have a community college and a university, but the only place of employment is “The Fuse” and “The Fuse”’ seems to be the only source of food and/or entertainment.

Wait until Steph meets TJ!!! Goodbye, Kippee.

Too bad Tiffany doesn’t have Bernice-level snarking abilities. I could see her responses being absolutely withering in this scenario. Of course, Stef probably wouldn’t understand half of the words, anyway, so…

So Tiffany says she’s good at acting?

Let’s see her act like she doesn’t want to run Stef through the automatic dishwasher machine.

I kind of remember Tiff used to wear her cheer costume to school every day. At least she has come to see how it really looks.

Maybe Stef and Kip will get kidnapped by a sadistic serial killer.

Steph has no eyebrows. All the other females have them drawn onto their hair.

Just some before dinner sniping.

two self-entitled kitties probably won’t risk breaking a nail

Wait, costume? Calling her work uniform a costume only makes sense if Stef was part of the conversation about being a waiter/waitress was like being an actor/actress. But she wasn’t. So either she was hiding on the sidelines listening in on the conversation, or she legit doesn’t know the words for work uniform and thinks people go around wearing costumes all day.

So what is it, is Stef a creeper or an idiot?

Also, why is anyone interested in Kip. He’s hardly said two words makes him even a one-dimensional character, let alone an interesting character.

Tiffany was originally hired as a dishwasher, but talked Leslie Knox into switching positions. Tiffany felt that she can use her “acting skills” to get bigger tips. Leslie Knox enjoys being a Professional dishwasher.

Stef and Tiff will attempt to tear each other up; Kip will be turned off and he’ll walk away and meet someone else… maybe Luann?

I always thought Tiffany was the most unlikeable character in this strip. Then along came Stef.

Stef isn’t so much tacky… but she holds a patent on phony.

I didn’t know bad soap opera cliches were on the menu tonight.

Muah ha ha ha — ACTING!

That Steff wears her pompom suit every freaking day, everywhere she goes, is ludicrous. No one does this, especially not in college.

Tiff may not be the brightest bulb in the sock drawer, but she could always bring the roast.

Tiff’s acting vis-a-vis Stef is Oscar-grade….

Didn’t the sweater have a U underneath it for university?

I bet Kip falls for Tiffany, he does not look too happy in the last panels. And who would with Steph all the time? But then again, who would with Tiffany.

Oxford the OX – College Scholarship?

Get ready for calories, Stef.
