Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 04, 2022

Okay… don’t people usually know when they’re thirsty and are going to the fridge to grab a drink as opposed to when they’re thinking of what kinda lunch meal they can put together?

If she was just thirsty, I don’t think she needed to take a pic of the fridge.

Enjoy your Coke, Frank.

Or Luann could’ve put a sticky note on that last can (and forget to write her name thereon where Frank will still take it since he’d be puzzled whose can it was).

Frank is from the generation where they learned how to score some coke. Evans, on the other hand, has still not learned how to profit from product placement.

Poor Luann

Once again Luann over thinks. Enjoy your Coke Frank.

Snooze and lose Lu. sorry!

Let this be a lesson to you, Luann.

And remember that old advertising slogan:

“Things go better. Don’t CHOKE.”

Refrigerators used to be called “ice boxes” because a chunk of ice literally kept the food cold. Opening the would let the cold air out causing the ice to melt faster, So back then there a literal reason to not keep the door open long. With electric refrigeration that not long applies. People who worry about leaving the refrigerator door open must have been born in the 1920s.

1968 called and wants its refrigerator back.

See whatever else is in the picture.

Luann, if you were so thirsty why not just drink the coke? oh, maybe it wasn’t cold enough for her. so, she left it in the fridge to remind her it’s there. Well she’s in for disappointment when she goes to have the coke and finds it’s gone.

Just drink one of Frank’s beers.

“A fool and their sugary carbonated soda are soon parted.”

In the end, was it all Frank’s elaborate plan to have time to get the best food before Luann? Probably not, but that’s what happens and Bernice laughs. Bernice loves being with the Degroots, there’s never a dull moment.

OK, Frank—now go to the store and buy another six-pack of Coke!!

BTW, I really don’t like cola; my favorites are root beer and Dr. Pepper.

Does Coke give Greg funding for product placement? What’s next Folger’s by the coffee maker or LuAnn using a Dyson vacuum??? Or the family getting a Hyundai SUV!!!

I was thinking it would be nice to have a beverage fridge with a glass door. Now, where to put it? Duh, right next to the recliner!

A slug moves faster than she does.

A rare straight-up complement from Bernice in panel 2. Good girl.

Always buy a 12 pack.

My brother, you leave the fridge door open for more than a nanosecond and he goes ballistic. Same with the front door. When he visits me, it is fun. I leave the front door open a lot and same with the fridge.

More snide Bernice. So. Is Ben still hogging her room , or can she move out now?

A couple of Cokes every day. Diabetes never looked so good! And we wonder why heart disease is #1 killer in the USA. Mmm-mm! Oh sorry, didn’t mean to harsh your mellow. Drink up, Frank, Bernice and Luann! Insulin pumps are cool!

Tune in tomorrow for another installment of “Dumb Luann”.

Good to see that both Luann & Frank liked the same item.A family that does coke together stays together.

Holy Product Placement, Batman! How much is Coke™ paying you, huh? Huh?

Product placement!….I wonder if it paid for?

“Not” wins again.

Thank god for the advancements in technology. In the past Luann would have to wait for the film to come back from the developer.

Isn’t it kind of a standard joke about teenagers (specially teen boys,) standing in front of open refrigerators. contemplating what they want, and, the father posting a picture of the contents, to keep from wasting the electricity needed to keep the ‘fridge cool, the light on?Of course, now there are “smart” refrigerators that have a display of what’s inside, and, complies a list of what’s needed.

Close the door!

They’re not showing a movie in there.

“Coke, no Pepsi !” ….. with appropriate Greek accent.

George Carlin had this joke as part of his stand-up act. He called it “Ice Box Man.”

And Bernice loves it!

I’m the same way, open the door and stare, like I’m looking at an alien landscape

Frank wasn’t moving very fast at all, Luann. Maybe a better phrase would be “there’s no rush at all to outsmart this girl”.

It took her, what, all of one second to decide she wanted the Coke? Could’ve done that with the fridge door open. Better luck next time!

The phrase “you snooze, you lose” comes to mind here….

I think Luann looks very cute today—-nice and summery. And it’s funny that Dad put one over on her. And he didn’t even realize it.

Luann needs a man in her life. Can we please get her one so she needs to learn the bees and birds

Why are people obsessed about possible product placement. I mean so the ff what?

Interesting to note that the “Coke” can design has become so famous that we automatically recognize it in the last panel. We are good consumer drones.

Coke is not to be consumed in its pure state. It must be cut with whiskey or rum to be palatable for an adult.

I found this article from 3 years ago. Keeping the fridge door open while you decide what you want to eat may not seem like a big deal, but that open door accounts for 7% of the appliance’s total energy use, according to Home Energy Magazine.

Tomorrow, Aaron returns as Erin, the non-binary girl who is now cuter than the girls who use to chase him when she was a he.

Luann, don’t dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back! ;-p

about as fast as a sloth dummy

Yet another demonstration of the painfully obvious. Thick as a brick….
