Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 19, 2022

Tiffany has changed for the better, while Luann has sadly changed for the worse.

Telling Tiff that she’d been “shallow and selfish” to her face, after she just brought back Puddles, was rude.

And just offering a gift card, from your family business, as the big reward, was cheap.

Well, at least, this arc is over… YAY!! lol

yeah, what good is getting a gift from your own place of employment?

Doing good is its own reward. ✨

Ah, the irony. Mow get three more cards for the rest of the stoggies.

Well, so much for that beautiful relationship. 8^ )

“….and the service is GREAT!!”

Why was Puddles so content when he was away from home? I saw someone comment a few days ago that dogs only care about the present moment.

So is there a way to know if Puddles missed Luann and home?

Puds should be mortified. He’d bring more at the Quad!

When did Tiff start wearing Gunther Magic Shirts?

So Luann had to ruin that moment by giving Tiffany something cheap like a gift card to the place where she already works?

Nice going, Luann. Way to be cheap!

How cute, her puppy gave Luann a kiss.

Well, Tiff (“psh”) is back to her normal self.

But how is she supposed to split a gift card with Stef, Bets and Dez?

“You used to be a selfish, shallow person, Tiffany, but you’ve changed. Not me, though! I’ll be selfish and shallow forever! I can even openly insult someone who drove to my home to deliver my lost pet, and it’s totally fine because I’m the titular protagonist! My Inner Beauty transcends any needs for simple decency towards other people, even those doing me a kind(ly)ness! Now take this $10 gift card for my parents’ lame teen hangout and get off my property!”

Gee.

I’m not so sure, but I don’t think Tiffany and Luann are going to be “bosom buddies” after this as some fans were hoping.

But it’s all good. By doing this good deed, Tiffany has wiped the slate clean of all the mean stuff she did to Lu over the years. So, Tiff can steal Lu’s next boyfriend and not be a bad person.

And there’s two pieces of good news today:

1) Puddles is finally home.

2) And as Vily pointed out, Tiff is wearing one of Gunther’s shirts.

Hopefully THAT is a Good Omen for the future. :-)

Luann and Tiff are the exact same dress size, at least for today. Might as well keep it that way, if only to get Steffo to stop being a b about Tiff’s fake heaviness.

Now you can order the good stuff.

Oh FFS, Luann.

All well with the world Puddles is finally home and this three week long arc is finally over. And give Luann & Tiff a month to six weeks before there friends again.

Looking at the third panel, yeah, Tiff was not thinking about the reward at all! Tiff is pouting so hard, even her boobs went flat. Now, that is training in an actress!

Tiff is still a work in progress. She quickly accepted Puddles and felt sad when she had to say goodbye to him. Kindness is like cleavage, the more you show the more you are appreciated.

Tiffany in today’s strip reminds me a bit of Bernice on 2020/01/11.

Of course none of us have ever recognized the mature/“right” thing to do or say in a situation and yet let temptation get the better of us. Not when we were 19 or any other time. No, never. /s

Well, Bets did rub off on Tiff a bit. She brought up the reward in each panel. If it were Bets returning Puddles, she sure is likely to demand a cash reward and tell Luann to her face that gift card to dine at her parents’s place of business is lame and not useful to her. Good thing it was Tiff. Ivlax said it was rude of Luann to say to Tiff’s face that she used to shallow and selfish…remember they have known each other forever. Luann simply spoke the truth and Tiff did not take offense because she knew she spoke the truth and probably even felt proud of herself. She had leaps of growth as a person. Luann could learn a thing or two from her.

Give it to Stephanie.

Wow Luann…is that all Puddles meant to you? If Luann had a brain she’d realize that “reward” was an insult especially since Tiff works there.

Notice how Tiff subtly looks thinner as time passes?

Tiffany, missed on taking the higher road?

Missing Puddles storyline over? Will Stefani Bird be happy with a 25% portion of a gift card? Will Bets raffle her share?

Remember, why Puddles left the dog park. Luann forgot to feed Puddles?

Boo to Luann, Frank & Nancy. You don’t use an urgent reward to advertise your business.

Did not Puddles eat a hamburger at the dog park?

Puddles left the dog park via a hole in the fence.

He was heading home when Steffi picked him up. We know that because the drive by Frank as he drove home.

He is microchipped.

The first thing you do is get the dog scanned so you can return it to the owner.

Steffi chose to keep and hide the dog, she shut Betts down from posting a picture.

The others colluded.

That is fraud.

Go on NextDoor.com and see all the people working, networking, crossposting, to get a pet back home and I have never heard a word about a rewatd, though they may be offered. And if there is a reward, he gracious.

By keeping Puddles overnight, they inflicted unnecessary stress on Luann and family.

This entire Pud arc is Frank’s fault, He saw Pud being picked up by someone he didn’t know and just causally walked into the house to get ready for dinner. He made no attempt to follow the car or at least get the license number.

Is Tiffany going to bother telling Luann that SHE didn’t find the dog, it was Stef? Nope, guess she’s just going to take all the credit…

Wonder if the gift card is worth enough for Steff, Dez and Bets, as well?

A better reward would be for Luann to stand up for Tiff in the inevitable fight with Stef over the ownership of Puddles.

BTW, I wonder how Frank will react to Puddles’ return. He was totally nonchalant about the loss of the family pet.

Luann is a real cheapskate. I wonder is she’s related to Scrooge McDuck or J. C. Dithers.

Like leaving a tract for a waitress instead of money.

You can split the coffee four ways.

Thoughts: The gift card was already the reward beforehand. It’s not as if Luann produced just for Tiffany. She asked for the reward. Does Tiffany usually eat there for free? She could treat the girls to a night out. Also, Luann’s “compliment” was insulting. It would’ve been kinder to say, “I was wrong about you, Tiff.”

Awwwww…. Puddles is pure joy in a dog form and Luann is so happy♡. Let’s hope this is the beginning of a deeper and more beautiful friendship between Luann and Tiffany. Finally all the old resentment seems to be gone away, Luann already seems to have better chemistry with her than with Bernice and I love their expressions in the last panel. Also, I’m sure Bets would appreciate that gift card offered by the Degroot family.

Tiffany returned Puddles to Luann. Maybe Tiff will pass along the gift card to Steff, the person who found him.

How cheap. You don’t offer a reward unless it is at least fifty bucks. Cry the blues about how much you miss your pet but to give a discounted (family business) gift card pffft.

It’s kinda funny. Tiffany became nicer and polite as the decades went on, while Luann has slowly become more shallow and selfish.

Luann doesn’t care if she gave Tiffany a useless reward, she’s just glad she has her little Puddes back.

To be fair, when they realized who puddles belonged to their expectations for the reward should have changed. Disappointment aside, in the end I’d consider any free, off campus meal a win.

Luann….Good Grief. And Tiffany… Really?

Tiff is worth a “mint”! Why is she worried about a stinking reward?

So with your employee discount, it’ll go further. Maybe she can invite Stef’s Dick, I mean Kip out for dinner.

Tiff; in case you haven’t heard, Luann isn’t working for that afterschool place anymore. So what did you expect, actual money?

Lol! Perfect! Steff might like it, but I doubt she’ll see it. ;-))

Wow! Some of these comments are painful to read. Giftgiving must be “fun” at birthdays and Christmas at some homes.

Hey – it’s still probably better than the employee discount…

The gift card is real, and it’s spectacular.

Yesterday, Tiffany’s profile looked like the old Tiffany. Today she is back to the current small nosed look.

Puddles is so happy.

First of all, this ending is supposed to be funny and ironic, that the reward was not cash but a gift card to a place where Tiffany works. And it is. Second, keep in mind Luann is broke—-the gift card is probably all she can afford to do. And finally, Tiffany loses all the points she picked up yesterday IMHO. Everyone is always talking about how wonderful she is and how much she has grown. Well, she hasn’t grown near enough for all the praise she gets! A decent person would have just been happy like she was in yesterday’s last panel, hugged Luann, and NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT THE REWARD. That would have shown real growth and kindness. After all, Tiffany is well off again. She doesn’t need a reward and neither do any of the other girls, especially that money grubbing Bets. Puddles only spent one night with them. And finding his true owner took almost no effort, once they started looking. True, Luann should not have been so blunt with Tiffany. Both girls still have a lot of growing up to do. No friendship or bonding going on with these two for now. That’s disappointing to me but that’s K and G!!!!!C’est la vie!!!!!!

That reward sucks. Take the dog back and hold out for a PS5.

Luann did not mention Reward in the first panel. Just Tiffany.

If the gift card is for $50 that is a large reward. The card can be used for food and most people eat out once in a while.

The truth hurts at times but finally we all can move on

Tiffany can still be shallow and selfish at times. A little dense too. She doesn’t seem to realize that Luann just insulted her.

You’re also worth a gazbillion dollars, Tiff. What do you need a reward for?

Earth to Luann: Tiff is still a selfish, shallow person.

Tiffany is turning down the reward in the first panel. She has no intention of accepting it. She is curious what the reward would have been. She says “What WAS the reward?” Not “What IS the reward?”

Maybe give the card to one of the other three girls?

oh the irony

I take back what I said about Luann not being a swindler.

A bit of a disappointing ending IMO, but that’s to be expected.

As far as Luann being rude and insulting, I disagree. She’s probably in shock that Tiff would do something so kind and considerate, especially for her. She’s reminding Tiff of her past behavior, but she’s also (I think) admiring Tiff because Tiff has changed for the better.

And all you people who are screaming “rude and insulting”———what about Bernice? Bernice insults, criticizes, belittles, sneers at, and is downright mean to Luann on a regular basis, even to the point of implying (or saying outright) that Luann is stupid, but that’s OK. Everyone is all: “Oh , no, no, NO!! Bernice is Luann’s dear and wonderful FRIEND!!!”

Double standard, anyone?

Is this arc over? Or will Tiffany share the gift card with Dez, Stef, and Bets next week?

The gift card might be for $50.00 or more, we don’t know. I once attended a medical conference where there was a raffle. Most of the prizes were gift cards to better restaurants. Nothing wrong with that.

I know it makes no difference to the Luann haters. If Lu had handed Tiff $200.00, they’d still scream Luann was “cheap and selfish” because she didn’t give Tiff $500.00

Perfect reward!

About the “reward”. Luann didn’t have to offer a reward, but once she did it should have been substantial, like $50 or so. So, the gals agreed that Pud had to go and Bets finds the info on Luann. They should have just been excited that a way was found to get rid of the “dorm dog” that no one was willing to care for! But then they heard that there was a reward and that changed everything. Tiff’s first reaction talking to Luann, was “lets not talk reward”, then, “what was the reward anyway” to being disappointed that its a gift card. Bets at first said, “I could use that” then wanted the reward shared four ways, but no one deserves a reward since they made no effort to try and find the owner and were willing to keep Pud until it became inconvenient. I can’t imagine this continuing on Monday, but I would have liked to see everyone’s reaction to the “reward”.

Funny how Luann said Tiffany was shallow, when Luann liked all the same guys Tiffany did, for the exact same superficial reasons that Tiffany did. If Tiffany was shallow then so was Luann.

Come on Tiff you did something good, a reward is not necessary.

I’ll bet Tiff is NOT looking forward to telling nasty old Bets what the reward was!

We spoke too soon. Looks like neither of these two has changed or advanced today.

Sunday: Toni surprises Brad!!!

=:-O

Well, Luann seems unable to resist taking a dig at Tiffany (even though she did just return her dog) and Tiffany seems unable to resist pointing out Luann’s reward is cheap. Nothing changes with these two, but it seems to me that Luann could have been kinder and more appreciative. Wait – what am I thinking!

Sorry, Tiff.

But this is what happens when two “shallow, selfish persons” meet!

Is Nil and Tiffany related? Similar expression

Yes, but it will make your employee discount go that much further.

Watch Puddles.The best thing of the whole tale was his facial expressions.
