Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 10, 2022

I suggest Luann resolves to get a new best friend. She deserves someone who supports her 24/7.

.

At least there was no advanced math in today’s strip. lol

This is why you should never set goals, you’ll only let yourself down.

snarky as always, Bernice, when giving Luann the truth

Is Luann walking Monstro in the bag she carries in her right hand? Good advice from someone unable to care for her pet.

Bernice never makes New Year’s resolutions. She is too perfect—at least in her own eyes.

ya luann’s not bad either

at least you pick up Puddle’s business Luann, that means something!

Death to the snail!!!

what did puddles see??

Have you considered keeping your big mouth shut, Bernice?

Well we have no Algebra problems.

Luann resolutions were meant to be broken.

looks like a poorly drawn squirrel with a blue snail on his back

Just how fast IS that snail?

Dont’cha just hate carrying around that bag of dog poop?

Some people don’t like Steffi. Some people don’t like Shannon. Most, if not all, people do not like Ann Eiffel. I don’t like Bernice.

All that newspaper real estate wasted on a three panel gag. At least they were going for a walk and just just stewing in Luann’s bedroom.

Public Service Announcement: Luann carries Puddles’ poop bsg to remind everyone to keep the scene green. Psst, Luann, we get the idea, the bag didn’t have to be transparent. Thank you.

Third panel – please do not tell me that Puddles is going to run off and be lost again.

.

One situation where a third time is not a charm…

Resolution #1 should have been to find a new best friend.

Ya know…. That’s actually kinda clever…

A quarter into the year, why are they still dressed like it’s January? It’s freakin’ April.

Puddles is chasing a snail.

Hope this doesn’t mean a repeat of an earlier story arc!!

Math problem?

Puddles is chasing a snail.

Shut up Bernice

Some snails are poisonous? Quick, a trip to the Vet?

Well, Bernice says Luann should give up already, when it’s only April, so Bernice is being Bernice. Whatever, Bernice.

Only one day of guilt? Genius.

The best thing is just stop making New Year’s resolutions. Seriously, they just make you feel guilty.

I always resolve not to make any resolutions during the coming year. So far, I’ve always been able to keep them for almost the whole year. It’s the last few days that are really hard.

Brilliant!

The only resolution I have is to break into showbiz.

Luann and Francis from Momma would make a good pair, living on Welfare in a broken down trailer. One is too lazy and one is too incompetent to take care of themselves.

Here’s an idea.

STOP making New Year’s Resolutions and just be thankful you survived another year, when so many others DIDN’T.

Or is that something only “Old Folks” do?

Oh, that poor snail.

What is more prosaic? The New Year’s resolution colloquy, or Puddles chasing a snail? Hades if I know!

I think about now Luann is very tempted to stuff that doggie do bag in a certain brown haired know it all’s mouth.

That is a great idea Bernice!

Actually, it’s a problem with no “resolution” LOL!

She could make one resolution on the first of the month and have at least 28 days to do it.

Does Luann carry a see through bag for the poop?

I’ve worked at companies that told us “do a self-evaluation. We didn’t have you write goals at the start of the year, so write them now and how you did.” Interestingly, I always exceeded my goals.

Bern needs to make a resolution not to be a snark 24/7 to her alleged best friend.

Puddles and the snail!!! LOL!

Would be nice to see Luann with a different friend. I’d like to see her and Tiffany bond and nudge Bernice out to the left. Tiff has changed after the Anne Awful drama. IMO, she’d be a much better and interesting friend than old “McSnarky” Bernice. Different dynamic.

If Puddles was my Great Pyrenees, I’d be pulled off my feet. She has done it before. Usually when trying to catch vultures.

Screw new year’s resolutions. Improve yourself at your own pace. And ditch Bernice.

If she really felt guilty about not doing her resolutions, she could start on them today. Today is a new day, same as January 1st.

Keep wondering if G.Evans is finally going to let Luann stand up to Bernice’s snobbishness.

Act quick, Lu, and stuff that bag of poop down Bernice’s coat front while her hands are in her pockets.

Every year the same resolution for me: not to make New Year’s resolutions.

No one takes New Year resolutions seriously anymore, and why?, because it’s dumb to use a “tradition” where you set a goal (and the big joke is these goals are historically never kept) and then you use the “joke” history of the tradition as rationalization for giving up on the goal.

I know no one will agree with this, but many, many times for decades LuAnn has mentioned New Year resolutions and not meeting them. Bernice didn’t get rude or snarky, she just made a joke of it.

that’s brilliant

Except for the last 2 years, every January the gym I went to would be packed wih new people. They even had to valet park. But by April the crowd got down to the normal level of true regulars.

my favorite part about today’s comic is Puddles and his little sidebar adventure he seems to be having at the moment :-)

for all who pointed out the snail … note that Puddles’ reaction isn’t going after the snail … he’s headed back down the trail they way they came … he’s been frightened by it and is running away!!!

Every day I’m grateful to not have a friend as awful as Bernice.

Bernice and Luann are nice 12 year olds who have not been allowed into womanhood. But, where there is a pilot light, there is hope.

Do we really need to see what’s in the bag

Interesting idea. Not life changing but interesting….

the last resolution I made was in 2018.

I love how Bernice is always the ironic, side-eye type — until she sees someone breaking some rule set by unnamed authority figures that she uncritically respects.

i made a new years resolution years ago that i always have kept…. not to make anymore new years resolutions

I never considered that. Bernice might be on to something.

I have only one New Year’s Resolution. I’m proud to say I’ve kept it for years without fail. That resolution is: “I will make only one resolution this year!”.

Still toooooo hard to keep all the rest of the calendar year.

You’re not alone Luann. Millions of us breaks ours. I don’t make resolutions. Haven’t done so in years.

Every single year I resolve not to make a New Year’s resolution and every year I keep it.

I think we could have been spared the poopy bag.

Ridiculous! She should get at least a week, say, making the resolutions on Christmas. One week of guilt should be enough.

That, for a change, is truly clever, Bernie! Unfortunately, it’s way too clever for Luann….

Hit her with that bag of doggy doo!

or spelling

Bernice is a master at recognizing shortcomings. As long as they aren’t her own. Then she’s blind.
