Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 25, 2022

Bets looks great in her new costume! I sense new followers in her future.

What is Tiff thinking? Her father is never going to want a tacky sign in front of his house advertising for a “waremanse”. If she wants to advertise, she should be doing it on craigslist and FB marketplace…. not in front of her house.

So now the obvious question.. which side with Gunther pick? lol

Not only do I want to know what Bets is wearing, but why she’s wearing it? The online publicity?

Looks like GnK are about to crush Tiffany’s fragile ego once again. How long will they keep pounding on her? 8^ \

Steff and Tiff it is.

Maybe GnK will give us a plot twist, but it appears this will not turn out well – badly in fact.

ok, at the risk of appearing stupid, what is bets costume?

Well, Gunther.

You’ve been barely seen since December, yet you show up just in time to wander right in the middle of a minefield.

So what’s it gonna be? Your long-time friend or your girlfriend?

Although, Bets looks pretty Hot in that Shuri outfit.

Of course, Gunther’s “choice” may be academic.

With that big gaudy sign, it won’t be long before the City of Pitts shuts down Tiff’s little operation. And I’ll wager they’ll be alerted abated by a nosey neighbor.

That’s of course, armed robbers don’t show up first.

One more observation.

It does indeed look like Bernice has stolen Gunther’s shirts. ;-)

Gunther made Betts’ costume, right.

I am afraid the gated community HOA will soon come to their house and demand that the sign be removed and the Waremanse business moved elsewhere and give off several HOA rule section number violations. Tiff is young enough to be unaware about HOA. Having not seen Mr Farrell, I assume he is gone on business otherwise he’d put a stop to this Waremanse business taking place at his home. He’d tell her to either move it to a private facility where she pays storage fees (in that case, Tiff would call all of her friends for storage fees and pay them monthly for them OR tel them to take their stuff back and find another place to store them) or store them in one of the garage bays to help out and not to run a business out of it due to HOA rules. I believe she will opt for the last option and lose the bet to Bets.

I’m underwhelmed by the Shuri costume. Tiffany needs to bring out the Eyez of Zeye costume and show her how it’s done.

Gunther goes “schwing” upon seeing Bets…

Businesswoman’s attire vs coplay costume? Bets’ costume should get many subscribers.

Where Oxford?

Surrounded by amazement inducers.

A third week for a weak arc that doesn’t deserve it.

Gotta feeling there will be no trip to Maui this summer.

But then, Tiff’s father would probably bail out anyway (“urgent business”)!!

Come on artist person. This is Tiffany, not some rapidly aging and deteriorating old heifer put out to pasture. Give her higher heels, a higher hemline, a lower neckline, and tighter waist. Tiff has to break out, maybe I should say, “bust out” of this prison that Greg has put her in.

I hope there’s an empty room available in that mansion—a four-walled “privacy hut”!!

I wonder if we will ever learn that most of Bets followers are just bot accounts.

HOORAY! Gunther is here and he’s so proud of the King Valkyrie costume he made for Bets. He’s right, that costume is amazing and Bets really looks great wearing it♡. She really captured the character’s attitude. I’m sorry for Tiffany, but the likelihood of her winning the bet is around zero. I’m sure Gunther will end up helping both Tiffany and Bets. But even with his help, I don’t think Tiffany can make it, unless some totally unexpected thing happens.

Now that Tiffany is building her social media presence, I suppose the natural next step was to doxx herself and let the whole world know where they can find a mansion filled with loot, teenage girls, and no security. Good going, Tiff.

So Bets looks like she can stand up to any evil empire.

Tiffany might as well put out a sign saying: “Welcome burgulers.”

It appears that Gunther has traded his sewing machine for a 3D printer.

Should someone tell Tiffany about having a business license, permit, insurance, and taxes when operating a home business?

Just a thought.

With her helmet hair dyed black Tiffany would be that evil empire.

Once again… What does Tiff’s father think about his home being used as a storage unit for a bunch of people he doesn’t know?

Methinks the neighbors will have something to say about this, ESPECIALLY if there’s an HOA involved.

“Yes that would look quite dashing on a young male model, but what about the costumes I designed for the ladies? How about we show some curves there? And, um, can I model one of them?”(meanwhile, baddies, you’re in luck because that mailbox shouts out the very address—what’s that, baddies? You’d rather stay home and binge HBO Max. Well. See you later)

Even with all the education and technology and clever ideas, sex and glamour still sell.

Bets outfit looks like she was holding a bag of Oreos….. and it exploded.

Oh great… week 3of this.

Well hilarity is ensuing, Bets looks hot (and marketable), oh hi Gun(ther). I think on first look Bets will be on far firmer ground than a mansion owner’s daughter has road signs in front of her house when her target market were down kids,, but normal marketing apparently does not occur in Luannverse.

Dorm kids can’t correct when using phone.

OK, Tiffany, and what are you going to do with all of that stuff when Tom comes home? He’s not going to want to live in a house full of stranger’s belongings. Are you telling your customers that the storage is short term only and they’ll need to have everything out in a few months?

I wonder if the adress has anything to do with the year Greg Evans was born, or whether it’s just a coincidence they’re the same.

five fingers and a thumb ……?

The whole thing is insane. Her father won’t want his home filled with everyone elses junk either, and if he is an attorney – he will understand thr liability of taking in posessions of others and the zoning issues of turning a residential mansion into a storage business. What was Tiff thinking… She wasn’t, she was being baited by trouble maker and shallow attention seeker Bets! Train wreck coming.

Just wait until the certified letter comes from the HOA.

I’m starting to think that this partnership between Bets and Tiff is all take and no give.

Just wait till the planning/zoning inspector shows up.

Ah Tiffany, I feel this is all going to end badly.

I’m sure her neighbors are going to LOVE that!

Turning a mansion into a warehouse. Who could object? Well, daddy, the neighbors, the city.

The average rent for a 5′×5′ storage unit is $60, at 10′×10′ unit is $160 and that is for a secured private locked unit. So if she is charging $90 for a few boxes that is no deal. No one besides maybe students will want to store items that will be moved around and possibly opened.

what is that costume of?

Annnnnnd here comes the HOA. Or the city to tell her she can’t have a business without a permit.

Tiffany is being drawn to look more like a suburban housewife setting up for a yard sale than a young college student still in the game. What a sad come down for a once vibrant character! 8^ (

Warehouse 13?

\\//_

Tiffany would not be allowed to display a sign like that in a residential neighborhood like hers anywhere in the U.S. Not in real life anyway.

I have a feeling that Tiff is soon going to be taken to court by her neighbors. I seriously doubt her place is zoned for a business.

Tiff needs to study nature for her artwork. The hand on the sign has 6 fingers.

Big luxe Small bucks?? That’s her plan to win??

Lemme guess – next is a visit from the HOA demanding a stop to the whole thing?

Obviously Gunther is more interested in ShuriBets than EltonMuskTiffany. To bad there’s no privacy spot on hand.

Has Tiffany taken/passed a business law class and understands the obligations of a bailee with a mutual benefit bailment? Co-mingling items in an unsecured garage may not meet the test of reasonable care.

This is the 2nd time Tiff had shown her mailbox (and address) for the world to see. Why do I get the feeling there is a breaking, entering and theft in her future?

I wonder how long it’ll take before the police show up (unregistered business)!

Tiffany just keeps making one stupid move after another LOL! And why, in any universe, would Gunther pick Tiffany over Bets today? Absolutely not going to happen while she’s wearing that costume! I’m just surprised Bets hasn’t warned Tiffany about the legal issues going on – or are we supposed to believe that neither she, and let’s include Gunther, aren’t aware of the risks and legal issues surrounding the “ware-manse”? (And they were supposed to be the smart ones).

The pinnacle ending to this story would be Tom Farrell entering his home, and standing in the doorway looking at boxes and all kinds of miscellaneous stuff piled to the ceilings!

I’m wondering what the homeowners’ association is going to have to say about this enterprise. And the sign.

This is wrong on so many levels. Just how technical will we get with legal stuff? Or even safety and insurance issues. Is this just for fun? Beginning of the week and can’t see any good outcome. Bet looks good though.

I see a new comic spin off…..

Bets going for the leather and lace look.

I could see both of them as vendors at a Comicon, with Bets marketing a cosplay theme and Tiff with her Steampunk section.

two very different ways of turning a profit: (1) the traditional brick & mortar service with bill board & sign vs. (2) manipulating people on cyberspace. which will win? maybe it will be a draw; both exist.

I like where this is going. However, I’m not going to pop the popcorn just yet.

Bets looks stupid.

Dear Tiffany:You can’t hide your giant thighs/with that baggy dress disguise/Won’t be catchin’ many eye-yi-yi-yi’s/Cause there ain’t no way to hide your giant thighs..

I didn’t think that I was going to like this story arc, and so far, I have not been disappointed.

I guess Bets is not Tiff’s good buddy after all. Friends don’t let friends get into hot water. Or, Bets is also naïve. Willing to allow for that. Kids just aren’t fully developed yet.

What in the name of whoever is Bett’s wearing?

What she can’t see…could hurt her?

“Honey, I shrunk the legs”. Panel No. 1. Lose the cheapo drawing machine and get back to real drawing. Tiff needs about 6 inches more leg length to go from frump to fox.

3 things wrong here: 1 This is not Tiffany’s house 2 running a business without a license 3 posting the home address is just inviting burglary.

Soooo when those two get married, are we going to get a tour of their dungeon?

Tiffany looks so pretty today. It’s a shame she’s destined to lose this bet with Bets unless GandK pull a fast twist on us.

Weird. Bets describes her persona as a saucy young woman of color nerding out with her hot boyfriend. To my knowledge, Bets has never identified as a specific color/race/ethnicity, online or off. Given the viper pit of identity politics social media can be, she must be very good at walking the tightrope of general inclusiveness to keep all of her followers happy.

Is it bad I’m on Team Tiffany for this one?

Definitely King Valkyrie. I looked it up. Even the cape matches.

I’m getting a vision of a zoning violation for running a commercial business in a residential zone.

Hard to believe that Bets and Tiff are both so stupid to think that Waremanse could be a legal business. And even more stupid to make her home address public. Nothing good can come from this.

I wouldn’t put my advertisement right by a mailbox with my name and house number on it. I’m sure thieves will take note. And what happens when all the stuff disappears? I’m pretty sure Tiff didn’t think about additional insurance for this.

Hmm. A couple of takeaways here. Tiffany should not be too trusting even of Gunther, ‘cause the boy is distracted by Bets! And we know part of the address fo the Farrell Mansion form the mailbox signage: it’s “1947” something-street.

Tiffany looks good in her LBD (Little Black Dress, for the unilluminated), but it is time she took care to try losing some weight while she can. Couldn’t hurt….

Zoning laws, Tiffany. Your neighbors might not be tolerant.

I think the real problem is that Tiff is revealing too much info about her home.
