Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 17, 2022

Whew! He’s alive.

In the words of Phineas Flynn, “oh, there you are, [Puddles!]”

Finnygirl… You can come back! LOL

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ !!!

How could she not see Puddles among the plushies in the wagon?

Huh.

Maybe the kid has a heart after all, by keeping the Pud warm.

Gotta work on her reaction time though in giving out timely “explanations.”

Unless she intended to make her Ant/Aunt look silly. ;-)

Greg is getting on my nerves.

Thank God! I didn’t want a frozen Puddles.

It is your own fault, Luann. You weren’t paying attention, your eyes on the damn phone. If you had properly supervised Shannon, you’d have seen Puddles and removed him from the parade.

Big pointless dog search starts now?

Reminds me of the movie ET when the mom was looking at the wall of stuffed animals and didn’t see alien hiding in plain sight. Yes, I said alien. So sue me!

WHEW!

Brat 1, Luann 0.

She better get a sledgehammer and start tearing down the walls to find Puddles.

“Dr. Puddlestone, I presume?”

This arc is the classic Month of Sundays.

It appears that Greg had Puddles stuffed and put him with the rest of the stuffed animals. How long was Shannon gone??

Saw his head, then thought, “Oh, what a relief!” Last thing we need is another cartoon dog offed, like in “For Better or For Worse”.

Luann loves Puddles so much that she runs out looking for him at the first sight of danger. But Puddles is making one of the typical pet pranks where you lost your mind thinking they are gone forever and then find them lazing around in the house totally ignoring what just happened. Let’s see how this will continue, I hope this ends with something amazing Valentine’s Day style.

Even Shannon is less clueless than Luann.

Makes me wonder who is baby-sitting whom!!

That was resolved rather quickly. Yes, Luann hasn’t figured it out, but WE know he’s fine.

Many years ago, my parents agreed to watch our dog while we went on vacation. Note that at three years of age, the dog had never once barked in all his life. Within three hours, my parents lost him. They drove all over town trying to find him and finally gave up. While worrying how they were going to break the news to our kids, my dad opened the door to the laundry room, and there sat our dog staring at the door, not making a sound. Apparently, my mom had gone to do some laundry and not noticed that he had followed her in, so when she left, she shut him in.

So we’ve left the soap opera, and we’re back to slapstick.

ha, that’s cute. it was so cold even Puddles jumped in the wagon to warm up.

He’s in the wagon.

Thank goodness!

Puddles has been known to engage in risky behavior. Will we need a hero to capture Luann’s heart as Gunther once did? The story ran from here: https://www.gocomics.com/luann/1991/11/11

Gee, story change! I wonder what will happen while Luann’s outside looking for Puddles…;-)

Tomorrow- Bernice lectures Luann on her many faults. In the last panel Gunther streaks across the room.

This might turn out to be entertaining after all.

Sometimes this feels like one of those “find the differences puzzles”. Heart changed color and added Greg’s signature, dog collar is now open, and Puddles decided to ride in the wagon!

Oh no! They have those SLIDER windows.

I didn’t notice in yesterday’s Luann that puddles had slipped his collar.

Ugh….. Dogs and small children, especially Shannon, should not be left unattended!

How boring is this? I’d rather have reruns.

Glad to see Puddles, I was getting ready for a cliffhanger of a miss Puddles and getting upset over a cartoon dog :>)

BUT NOW LUANN IS LOST IN THE DARK !!!!!

I take it all back. Shannon has been wronged.

Puddles was originally lassoed TO the wagon, being forced to participate in a parade he clearly he did NOT wish to partake in. Let him be free.

She just said it was cold out…my Terrier would’ve done the same thing…

Shannon did not know Puddles was in the wagon. He was under the stuffed animals and just now appeared. Shannon is looking away and does not see Puddles yet.

Puddles is taking care of business.

Not funny. I know the panic of thinking my dog is loose amid the dangers of the big, wide world. And later discovering that she is sleeping in her crate.

Hey,nobody saw Steven Spielberg’s E.T. among the stuffed animals!!

Puddles is a very tiny dog who can hide anywhere short of a mousehole.

I’m surprised more humor hasn’t been mined out of that.

Luann will somehow get locked out of the house.Shannon is too short to reach the doorknob.Puddles is hungry.

Why walk, when you can ride?

Two more days and this “Adventures in Babysitting” will be over—I hope!!

Tomorrow Luann discovers she is wearing two different color socks. Then marvels that she has another pair just like it.

All she looked was the empty leash?

He was old anyway.

(ducking the objects thrown for heartless comment)

Somehow, I expected to see Puddles amongst the plush animals.

“Dog-Gone”

“Wagon Trained”

“HEEEERE Ye, HEEEERE Ye!”

“The Path Of Leashed Resistance”

Hidden in plain sight

Meanwhile, Luann reacts as usual: leaping to conclusions.

Way to crush my hopes in just one day.

Go figure.

Puddles blends in well with Shannon’s plush animals.

Luann leaps to a wrong conclusion.

Nothing new to see here.

Puddles is On Board….

Surprise!
