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

Oof! ✨

who owns that fragile item is not going to be pleased

Doubtful that she has blonde insurance

And the net goes down, down, down.

The more we see of Leslie the less we want to. A complete waste of the air he breathes.

No (bleep) Sherlock

We seem to be muddling our way thru this “summer arc.” Tiff and Bets, now free of their competitive bet, now see the wisdom of daddy Tom. Gunther was just there yesterday’s strip but now has been replaced by Les and Ox. Tiff jinxes the move by commenting on how lucky they’ve been not to break any thing; either that or it’s because she’s carrying that box upside down.

Given how this is playing out, I don’t believe we will see the damaged item tomorrow. Probably we’ll see the storage items have all been re-stored and or returned before school. The End of the Summer Arc.

First, Fire Leslie Knox!

As I said yesterday, Tiffany doesn’t have the best luck.

it’s Italian, “Fra-gee-lay”

Tiff got her boys doing the lifting and drooping.

Whelp.

Nice to see that Les is just as useless as ever.

Now as to ladies.

Bets and Tiffany? Are you two ready to place that phone call to Simone of Souffle and get your feet in the door for a real Summer job next year?

Had you done that, you two could have been interning in Paris instead of babysitting “folk’s” Junk for the Summer.

And this is why you hire professional movers. =/

Good luck with the 4 pool tables. lol

Where’s Gunther?

The look on Tiffany’s face… XD

Nobody noticed the quick outfit change. Tiffany was in a button front dress and bets was cosplaying, today they’re both in t-shirt and shorts.

That must have been one lame BBA program if Tiff didn’t know she would need insurance.

Uh-oh….

Les we don’t care if you’re OK.

That “CRASH” sound was actually Les’ back. It will be OK because Ox said he would glue it.

Everyone is so tough on Les. Considering who his mother is, he turned out pretty well and is getting better.

Could be worst! You don’t know what stuff they put at your place, and then the FBI comes knocking.

So where are they taking all this stuff? Chances are most folks who rented the space don’t live anywhere near campus.

I kinda hope that crash is coming from one of Stef’s stuff. That aside, it’s good to see Bets and Tiffany understand their errors. This whole situation was a learning experience from both of them.

Meanwhile, Tiff is still stuck with Steff. Tiffany should seriously reconsider remaining home for the next semester.

That’s my dresser! I am going to sue Tiffany!

Considering they’re both supposed to be business majors, darn tootin’ they should have thought of the liability! Actually this goes to show that neither one of them knows ANYTHING about opening a small business, not even the bare basics.

Even non-business majors would have known that storing other people’s belongings in a house you don’t own and that isn’t meant to be a storage facility is a bad idea.

Typical Les—blaming someone for his own ineptitude!!

Well—at least he IS helping, and not “supervising”.

BTW, I wonder if that’s part of Stef’s junk that got broken.

Hey was that my Ming Vase collection?

Oh yes, we are so glad you are okay… NOT!!!

If something got damaged? You never offerred a warrantee!

Love how Les immediately thinks they’ll be worried about him.

I see she didn’t take my advice about the discount. Unless she thought the discount applied to the stuff after her guys break it.

Anyone who left their belongings with Tiffany deserves what they get. In this case, broken and dented belongings LOL!

Oops! Maybe Les should have stuck with “supervising”! Buyer’s remorse….. wonder if that belonged to Steph. If so, I can hear the dramatics already! =:-o

Who cares? Stupid story line.

having PTSD cringe moment over this…have moved too much furniture for the Missus over the years, I guess.

You just had to jinx it, Tiff.

That’s why I’ve always advocated starting a trash hauling business versus a furniture moving business; everybody has trash; everybody wants to rid of trash; and, if the trash gets scratched or broken, who cares?

Tiff you said to much. Les lifting and dropping.

As I recall, Bets shoved Tiffany into this business and only now thinks of liability? This is what makes Bets so unlikeable.

Quick: Spot the almost profanity in the middle panel!

Mice? In the mansion? How dare you!

Get Gorrila glue!

I bet its Stef’s Stuff!

It’ll turn out to be a rare vase worth big bucks! Lawsuit!

Self storage are just that-they rent you a unit and then you are responsible for moving your items in and out and for providing the lock. The owner of the unit never takes possession/touches the property. The owner of the storage facility is not usually responsible for theft/fire UNLESS he has been grossly negligent. It is like if you rent an apartment and someone breaks in and steals your stereo system/computer. Tough luck for you unless the landlord knew the door lock was defective. Tiffany actually has taken possession of the property and allows other people to move the items so she has total liability.

Les is actually hauling stuff?? Will wonders never cease?

don’t count your chickens until they’re in the roaster

What was it you were saying about liability Betts?

Well tomorrow awaits. SURPRISE! Or submerge?

Everything’s okay.It’s only that dumb lamp from A CHRISTMAS STORY.

Looks like Luann got off lucky not being involved in this whole thing

ka-oops

Is Tiffany even paying her movers?

Out of all the characters I can think of, Gunther and Crystal (and maybe Toni) are about the only ones who can be trusted to handle things carefully, and no one gets hurt. The parents would have good intentions, but if they carried heavy loads, they could be injuries waiting to happen. “Watch your step” and “Don’t hurt your back” take on a new meaning as one hits middle age, even if their health and fitness levels are in the 99th percentile!

Lesson learned when working in a warehouse, the more times you move things the more likely they will be damaged.

Looks like Bets is back in her regular clothes…

Hopefully it’s Steph’s item

How’d they get Leslie to lift something?

Oops.

“Ox’s fault”? I doubt it. This sounds way more like lame Leslie trying to cover his sorry a$$.

I suspect Oxford will repair the damage, though, as he said!

No one seems to have noticed that, in the last panel, Les is blaming Ox for the crash and implying that he (Les) was crashed upon.
