Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 05, 2022

Rest well, Luann, and dream of large women. lol

I’m with Luann on this: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

hang in there, Luann

You left out “Relaxed.” ✨

So . . . anyone else besides me miss GET FUZZY?

Are you sure she’s not actually asleep Frank? Maybe she’s got sleeping sickness.

Luann is experiencing the effects of daylight saving. In Mexico it happened last Sunday.

What makes you think she’s joking?

good job Frank, she can rest easy!

Actually, nothing will change for her this week, so we should just segue to the next story arc!!!

Life though Lu hang in there the grass get’s green in about 15 years.

Listen to Dad Luann he is very right and teaching is a profession, skill, and commitment all of which you have, but you must believe in yourself first

Seems like the young scholar also has little attention deficit disorder.

Now, you see why Frank never became a teacher.

Ice water makes short work of that.

This is why I believe that taxpayer-sponsored education should end after the 8th grade.

Let brats like Axel get jobs and discover what REAL life is like!!

Some qualities of a good teacher include skills in communication, listening, collaboration, adaptability, empathy and patience. Other characteristics of effective teaching include an engaging classroom presence, value in real-world learning, exchange of best practices and a lifelong love of learning.

How many of these did Frank get right?

The listening part.

Frank, you said your daughter is a good listener? Nice of you to try to comfort her, but she is never a good listener. She has selective hearing. Had she caught Axel’s double entrendes the first day, she might have handled him better. Because she did not listen, she was oblivious to the fact that Axel was aiming to hook an older girl until he tried to kiss her. Axel was embarrassed when she did not return in kind so he quit Homework Helpers. Luann needs to learn to listen, not just what she wants to hear. She needs to listen to her parents and friends who care about her, and not just selectively hear words she wants to hear and static everything else.

No Frank, her humor is good and it works perfectly. I’m so happy to see him try to comfort her daughter with love and show how proud he’s of her and believes in her♡. This is something you don’t see often and Luann needs it a lot, expeciall now.

Luann is a conflicted character. Always Trying to do good,but lacking the situational awareness needed with being a good friend.

Frank is a good dad. Today’s strip is giving him a chance to shine a little, something I’d like to see more of.

Frank, it’s time to explain to Luann that Axel was hitting on her and he quit because she turned him down (without knowing it, apparently) and not because she’s a lousy teacher.

If Luann had known Axel was hitting on her, she’d be talking about that and not blaming herself for something that clearly wasn’t her fault.

Let’s just hope Axel doesn’t tell his parents he quit because Luann was coming on to him. That’s a whole new can of worms.

Thankzzzz for the advice, Frank. :D

Wow, Frank actually gave advice instead of being a jerk. I’m sure it won’t last long tho.

Luann is gonna be dreaming about careers and fame all day.

Cute. Dad’s words of encouragement fall on deaf ears, unless she get a subliminal message. ;-)

Since LuAnn has no self discipline, she can’t expect to instill it or any discipline on students, especially those that aren’t keen on school to start with like Axel.

Those are all things a teacher—or any entertainer or physician or any professional—pretty much need to one degree or another. But a teacher must have one essential skill: the ability to take someone through a path of growing knowledge by helping the student to avoid the common pitfalls and to embrace what’s valuable; to take them through a curriculum and to help them know how to practice learning. Enthusiasm or personableness—alone—can’t do that.

A well-timed sleep fart would have really made today’s strip funny.

Having Axel as your first one-on-one “student” would be enough, IMO, to drive anyone away from a career of teaching.

Hopefully, even with this unfortunate experience, Luann will continue to pursue this career path for herself. I do think that teaching could be a good career choice for Luann, and feel it does suit her talents and interests.

Even though, I suspect it is only a pipe dream…. I am hoping the last two days sans Axel means that neither Axel nor Faye will be continuing in this arc. I think it would be nice for Luann to continue in this arc but have her talk or work through the situation with others.

Cripes.

The one time Frank is shown being encouraging and supportive of his daughter, and he’s depicted as wasting his breath.

Well, I guess that’s the ”THANKS” you get, Frank.

You as well wake Luann up and tell her to go clean up her room.

I’ve never observed Luann being much of a listener.

A little late with the pep talk, Frank, Luann has already worn herself out from worry. The large container of Ice Cream still awaits.

When I was a principal, I had a teacher who fell asleep in her classroom all the time.

Interesting…Luann and I are having the same reaction to this arc…

That’s the kind of humor I most like.

Luann is mentally worn out from the stress of dealing with Axel. Who wouldn’t be?

Okay,Luann’s Dad finally said something right.Dismantle the scaffold.

And Luann still needs Sassy/Cuddles.

O.K., Frank. Time to leave the sarcastic remarks behind. Give her a little encouragement here. If a smart a$$ dummy like me can lovingly encourage daughters at they begin their adult life … so can you.

Who are you and what have you done with Frank?

So much for being a good listener.

Fake “snoring”?

I guess we can give Frank points for effort.

She gotcha Frank!!!!!!! Nice to see Luann hasn’t lost her sense of humor!

Nice try, Daddy Frank. But in her heart Luann knows she’s a Loser and always will be!

I give Frank a round of applause for being positive here. It probably would have helped if he had actually engaged in a conversation with Luann, instead of a monologue, but of course, that wouldn’t be as funny!

She probably actually fell asleep.
