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

This is getting interesting. I wonder how far they will go?

Just how many of the House Rules will get broken? LOL

fun

Like I said, one aspect of teen life I don’t miss in the least . . . even though I myself am a little guilty of this exact same thing Bernice is doing to Nil, and I didn’t even do it in a romantic manner.

I can only hope that they are caught in flagrante delecto and Bernice gets kicked out.

No accountability

Luann arrives home and heads to her room.

“Smack, smack.”

“Bernice, what are those strange noises?

Actually it’s hardto imagine a time when all the DeGroots are out of the house, Admittedly Nancy seems to spend all her time at the Fuse but all Frank seems to do is hover round the coffee maker in the kitchen while Luann mostly stares pensively out her bedroom window. And in any surely Monstro will see what’s going on.

Bernice lookin’ to get busy!

The question now is whether Nil, using just his one eye, will be able to determine the front door from the back door.

Luann has a full-time job, unless luann gets fired and comes home and catches Bernice.

Frank Degroot has a top secret job, at a top secret location and Nancy works at the Fuze.

Somebody actually called this in a previous day’s comment.

Just how far will G & K allow this to go before a DeGroot shows up?

Looks not withstanding, Nil is pretty perceptive…

Mattress testing time.

Nil picked up on that right away. Almost as if they had been married for a while.

Frank loves to bust sex parties.

Bernice has to be crazy horny to take this kind of risk.

Will Nil remove his hat and pull back on his haircut?

All that needs to happen is that Bernice fails a test and she’ll never see Nils again.

Last night I didn’t note it but the reclining panels of a bored Bernice was one of the sexiest she has been drawn. Like I said hilarity will ensue, along with some other ensuing things. She is the hottest, most repressed female here, but Nil is just what the doctor ordered. You don’t think they we I’ll do a Stef and Kip do you? I bet they will. Yet another reason for Luann to feel left out romantically, although Bern is just burning away. Nil is a cute little dude isn’t hebtw?

Legally adult and has normal relations with her boyfriend in 2022? Get me my fainting couch! Don’t make me clutch my pearls!

I wonder: will the DeGroots return home unexpectedly (one of them “forgot” something), catch Bernice and Nils together, and throw Bernice out??

Wouldn’t be surprised.

What could go wrong?

Last time Bernice got that serious, the building she was in burned down.

This is gonna get good. I can foresee, nil going to bernice and her saying “come in” and Nil trying to jokingly say “the house or you.”

And knowing bernice that could go either, she freaks out and demands he leave. Or she seductively says “you naughty boy…both.”

NOW we’re gettin’ somewhere…

So, they’re going to neck in the park …. they’re not going to neck in the park …. they might get caught … they might no get caught ….. the little old lady bird watchers catch them …. the little old lady bird watchers disappear …. Nil wants to talk things over …. Bernice disappears …. Bernice wants to study …. annnnnd …. at least four more days of this kinda stuff.

Good God…

Bernice, if you want to invite Nil over for some canoodling and sex, all you have to do is ask nicely.

Yep. Just for say “Hi”… I really want to see Luann’s reaction to this, see how different it will be to Bernice’s reaction when she thought Jack was in Luann’s room! And if the one busted the couple is Frank or Nancy… that would be interesting too.

Luann will come, see them together, and say something friendly and snarky. This will somehow cause Bernice to throw a tantrum; Nil leaves. Criswell predicts.

Yes, please come to the front door so everyone in the neighborhood will see you go in, and be sure to park your car right in the driveway so the DeGroots will see it when they’re pulling up and know what’s going on.

Nil listened between the lines.

So they’re gonna bang it out at the DeGroots’, huh? I bet if Luann finds out about it, Bernice will somehow get mad at her.

Nil don’t fall for her stupidness

Nil is a very patient person. Bernice is lucky he’s tolerating her insecure gameplay.

Bernice, in love. Who would’ve guessed?

Nil does have a talent for reading between the lines!

Hmmm. Do I sense a teenage pregnancy arc (actual or scare) coming up for super- focused and critical Bernice?

And so we continue gathering research material on “Banging Bernice”, the book that never was. Can’t wait to see the next painting Nil does for this little romp,

Nil knows Bernice like a book; he just cuts to the chase.

It won’t all come clear till Saturday, so don’t get all antsy, folks

Bernice feeling amorous? Will she let herself lose control? Unfortunately for the more prurient minded among us, Greg’s rules won’t allow depiction of much of it, IF it where to happen.

I don’t know if “hilarity will ensue”? But for sure something will ensue!

What could possibly go wrong?

I can already hear the bed squeaking, which is more comfortable than the van rockin’

Anatomy class

Im betting Nil will get called out trying to steal second.

Geez – what’s the big deal ? Just DO it, already!

Be sure to stop at a pharmacy first.

Someone will come home and catch them. Frank and Nancy will not care about Bernice’s love life. Luann might have something to say about it. Double standards will be exposed.

ka-cool

The moment of truth has arrived.

Now remember Nil.

The DeGroot home is YOUR home, according to some “folks” here.

So while Bernice is Hemy-Hawing on how far you two should go, make yourself right at home! Raid the ‘fridge, put your feet on the couch, “borrow” the laptop, go wild!

And be sure to make Art! All over the living room walls. The DeGroots will just love seeing a giant sized painting of your hairy left nostril.

Know what else they like? Surprise remodels, like tearing out load bearing walls. Just ask the guy that runs Kafe Kablooie. He managed to do that once and lived.

So enjoy! Because there are apparently no rules real or implied at the DeGroot household. And if they are, they only apply to the DeGroot kids.

Oh.

And be sure to help yourself to the silverware on the way out. ;-)

I love it. After a meaningless confab……”front door”…”yes.”

Find another one Nil thats not wacko!!

Nil is better at this than I was

Bernie will slip into a tiny, lacy something with no underwear. The guy will show up without condoms, the DeGroots will all come home early. The dog will pee on the carpet and LuAnn will have erotic dreams for the rest of her over extended adolescence. There. Saved you all from anticipation. Can we go back to the arc about the Russian spy who is the sister of the girl that lives in a dumpster and is a lesbian art collector?

Are we sure he’s not Natty Boh & the Utz Girl’s love child…?

There seems to be nothing wrong with Nil’s hormones. And he’s definitely not artistic [joke].

Nil is no slouch on the uptake.

Will Quill get as far as Quill did? https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2015/06/02

“…and OH the things we studied!!”

Luann later that day: Bern! What’s this little square package in the trash? And, ewe! You need to check to make sure things like that flush!

Ahh, that’s why Puddles is in the picture

The shameless hussy is at it again!

Well, I think SOMEONE is about to lose her cherry!

Bern and her multiple personality talk on the phone…

Nil saw right through that.

I wish they’d fix this. I get notifications from people, but I can’t find the notification. All I get is the cartoon, which is easy to find.

I really thought Nil was just going to let that setup slide by. LOL.

Assume they will have true privacy. Will this be the first time they do? If so, let’s get inside their heads a moment and see what’s probably there. Bernice will simply be happy to avoid worrying about interruption. But Nil appears to be insightful enough to stop and ask where this is going. He likely suspects that a smooching buddy is all that Bernice wants, but perhaps he wants to pursue a more meaningful relationship.

I smell another plot coming! Bernice and Nil get caught getting busy in the DeGroot house by Frank or Nancy!

Booty Call…

“Serious studying”! Yup. With Front Door Man along for the “ride.” Uh-huh.

Will the DeGroots return early to surprise this “study session”? Seems kinda likely. Much humor and humiliation ensues….

You and me, baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals… ♫

Definition of desperation: Bernice in the last panel.

Am I the only one who generally wants to punch Bernice? She’s constantly the know it all, self righteous, judgmental nerd who’s much less smart than she thinks. She doesn’t even know herself, much less the world.

UH OH!
