Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 28, 2022

Kippy.. TAKE YOUR HAND OFF OF TIFF!!

She has every right to hit Stef after how she treated her and everyone else. Stef needs to fight her own battles and doesn’t need your interfering.

I would SO LOVE for Tiff to pull some Cobra Kai karate moves, and knock both Stef and Kippy on their butts right now. LOL

Question is… will Kippy now see the light?

Kip is such a crave little worm. He explains Stef’s failures instead of making her confess and apologize. Then when Tiffany righteously tries to apply some personal justice he stops her. He’s an appeaser.

‘tis no laughin’ matter indeed

Yeah, keep busting Tiff’s chops while you’re at it too.

Ordinarily, I’m against violence.

Let’s move on and apologize.

Hi everyone!!! Nice to meet you all

I’ve been following Luann for a really long time, but I just made an account :)

Also, Stef has been deserving of a beatdown for a while. Hope the week ends with her getting her just-desserts lol

Nudge Kip and punch her. It’d be well deserved. I don’t endorse violence but I sure do in the cartooniverse.

So Kip spilled the beans and Tiff is ready to go to fist city. Kip intervenes – which leads to what?

We’re midweek. Where are we going? Will Bets and Dez react to the discovery? Or will we continue with just these three?

Kip, Make Stefani Bird apologize to Tiffany.

HIT HER!!

Good thing stopping her Kip, wrist at that angle, probably hurt Tiff more than Steph.

Stef never even thought of an apology. Amazing.

Kip’s holding back the solution

Groan…can’t wait for this arc to end.

Let her have it Tiff! (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞

Not her gut Tif wants to bust.

The unstoppable force versus the immovable object….Hoo boy…

Clobber her Tiffany!

Steph certainly deserves a good whipping, as we used to call it back the Dearborn Homes when I was a kid, but I’m glad Kip is holding Tiff back. She is better than that, not perfect, but there is general justified agreement that she has grown a lot in the toon. Steph will be another who eventually will change for the better, as she seems a recurring character. The other ‘bad’ character who will ever change is the grifter, Evil Ann Eiffel. Oh an the pyschopath cousin of Tara. I think we will see both of them soon by the way.

….. and this is the kind of stuff her dad was upset about when she stored all that stuff at his house.

Never hit anyone in the face, you could cut yourself on their glasses, piercings or teeth! A gut shot is always better and bruises deeper.

Pay attention, ladies. Kip is getting turned on.

So, no Kerfluffle?

Kip is as selfish as Stef—they deserve each other.

Let’s remember that Tiff played that stuff many times in the past… I stopped reading this comic for a long time due to frustration.

So everyone is supposed to just laugh it off and move on, no harm no foul. Because reasons. Dang this is lame.

Tiff could hire Tonya Harding to get her b/f, Jeff Gillooly, to try out a tire iron on Steffi’s knee like he did for Tanya’s fellow skater, Nancy Kerrigan. Hey, Tire Irons ’R Us is open ’till midnight – and through the weekend, they have a “buy one tire iron, get one free” special running.

Luckily Kip is around and very protective of Stef. Tiffany has every right to get angry, but beating Stef would only make her the aggressor. Seriously, I wonder how many times Kip has to save Stef every day. Because with that nice behavior she has with everyone, probably a lot of people in that college want to punch her. Maybe it’s also possible that Kip is with her because he wants to protect/save her? In my opinion it could be a possibility. But the important thing rigth now is whether Tiffany and the others will tell Stef to leave the room forever. In that case, not even Kip would be able to help her.

Who were the two other people Stef accused? And Kip is dumber than Stef!

To paraphrase one of the late great Richard Pryor’s famous comedy skits:

“Kip? I believe if you let the young woman go, she could express herself a little better.”

For crying out loud, Tiffany, move back to the mansion. You don’t need to put up with this.

Time for Stef to find another place to live. Maybe Bernice could move in with the happy trio.

Yes, emotionally Stef deserves a whoppin’, but first hits is assault, return hit is self-defense.

I think that just because Kip is stopping Tiffany from slugging Stef, it doesn’t mean that he’s not going to deal with this new (to him) revelation that Stef was going around accusing people and threatening to sue Tiffany. Give Kip a chance. On another note, all of a sudden, since Stef came back from dance camp, she’s not wearing her cheer outfit 24/7?

Nobody says “bust a gut” like that.

well, it might be a good time to break the fight before it gets worse… but why bother! :D

Les hid the ring under the carpet.

Settle this like an adult. Sue her for defamation and slander.

If Kip doesn’t make her apologize, I’ll be very disappointed in him. And if she doesn’t, I think the other the roommates need to organize an emotional strike until she does.

And it’s not Steff’s gut that Tiff wants to bust. She needs Tara’s cousin to do the job.

Tiff hit the little sl—

“Bust a gut?” I presume Stef means that they’ll laugh about it. At least in the present, if Kip doesn’t keep restraining her, Tif looks like she wants to bust something else of Stef’s

No. No one has the right to hit anyone else for any reason.

GIRL FIGHT! GIRL FIGHT!!

This would have been a good time for Stef to apologize to Tiff. Laughing it all off was not a smart move. (But then, nobody has ever accused Stef of being smart.)

Everything I said earlier in the week about Stef being about her looks is spot-on. Tiff should be allowed to rearrange things, which would really be a wake-up call.

Meow!! Hiss, grrrrrrrr, pfffttt! MEEEEEOOOOWWW

No Kip. Everything’s not OK as you always seem to think it is.

I’m guessing there aren’t many John Wick fans who read this comic.

Kip is a passive person who doesn’t like to face issues. But hopefully we are now getting to the root of the matter. Tiff needs to turn around and say to Kip “this is not OK and you need to see that…how is it that you just explain everything she does as if it is justification?”

Will Tiff kick Stef out with her belongings? She has every right to.

“Brought it here” huh? Brought it where? From where?

Kip doesn’t look very strong. I’m sure Tiffany could get his hand off her arm. Or maybe Kip is stopping Tiffany from slugging Stefi because he wants to do it himself.

Kippy needs to drop Stef, she’s horrible

The best thing those 5 people could do is report this to Moony Uni officials and get that b!tch kicked out.

In fact, there are probably many more with complaints about her!!

Aw, let her go. Stef has been asking for a good boop in the snoot since the first time she called Tiff “Shug”.

NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE.

So, you’re not going to apologize? You are a horrible person, Stef!

i can see clearly now the ring is on….I can see all obstacles in my way….

Ok what? Again, Kip doesn’t want a fight and stops Tiff, but now that he put himself in the mix, what will he do or say. He has to realize the hurt and character assassin she caused. After all, Bets posted the fray online. Will he demand an apology from Stef, or agree with Stef and laugh it off. I had hopes for him, but he’s wish-washy. Still waiting for Dez and Bets to show up.

Steff= Ann Eiffle, the early years

THAT look on Stef’s face says it all! She DONE “messed” up!

Good move Kip. It will pay dividends later……….

If you hit someone with your wrist bent, as Tiff is about to do, you can break your wrist. Straighten it out, and paste her, Tiff!

Kip seems to be the level head in the group. And I suspect, that while Stef is quite the eye full, Kip may be parting from Stef quite soon.

Kippy is a bona fide moron who only thinks with the little h**d!

Come on Tiff do it a right upper cut then a punch to her fake eyelashes.

Good move on Kip part.

Kip has been show before trying to get Stefi to do the right thing. I think Kip will do the right thing here with Stefi and he will Not stick up for her.

Keep using your words, Tif. Kippy, grow a pair and straighten out your life. That little bubble brain will drag you down after the thrill is gone. So off the rails, so little time.

Kip is really small for a football player. He’s really short and he has skinny girl arms. Did he get demoted to water boy? Even carrying a water jug would make more arm muscles than what he has. Prepare yourselves for a conclusion to this story that goes absolutely nowhere. No apologies, no eviction, no break-up, no vindication, no resolution. Just hurt feelings and damaged friendships.

Stef is the new Tiffany. This is exactly how Tiffany used to act in high school.

As for Kip, he will continue to see Stef’s beauty, only. He doesn’t realize how ugly she is. All he sees is a cute cheerleader.

Come on people, we all know there won’t be any satisfaction here. The situation will fizzle out and never get referenced again. After all, if Tiff is gonna let her roommate use her towel for sex cleanup, there’s no limit to how much she’ll take. Stef could put all of Tiffany’s clothes through a wood chipper and there wouldn’t be anything but a few days of dirty looks and a follow-up arc where Tiffany complains to Gunther, before everyone moves on.

Remember how we thought there might be some fallout to Bernice getting caught red-handed with a glass up to Luann’s door, and instead it never got brought up again?

Go for it, my beloved Tiffany!!

You can take her!!

Kip knows Tiff is right (in what she is saying) because Steffie said (to him) “…Kippie forget about that, the important thing is it’s her fault…”. But here’s what may happen next. Steffie will start crying; she’ll play victim so Kip will sympathize.

That’s her face, Tiff. Her gut is lower.

I am glad Kip got involved. I grew up in a time where there were lots of romance comic books, but they weren’t funny. There was lots of slapping going on in them. I started reading them as soon as I was capable because one of my older sisters collected them. They didn’t have a good influence on me. I slapped a boy on the school bus for saying I wore falsies when I first started wearing a bra. He made other boys on the bus laugh, but then they all got mad at me for slapping him and making him cry. If I hadn’t been reading those comics, I probably would not have thought to slap him, but I thought it was what I was supposed to do. Thankfully I wished up by the time I started dating. I also stopped reading those comics about the time I slapped the boy.

How about letting Tiffany hit Steff with a pillow to at least get her aggression out. A nice heavy memory foam pillow like I have. That would do the trick!!

Oh, Tiffany. No. Lead with your left, not your right.

Bust a gut? More like bust someone right in the mouth.

In the last panel, Is that shock or fear in Stef’s eyes?

First off——I don’t know why everyone keeps insisting “Kip will see the light…..Kip will realize what Stef is really like…..Kip will leave Stef….”

WHY people? Just *_WHY??_*

Kip probably knows just exactly what Stef is like, better than anyone else, I’m sure. It obviously doesn’t bother him. As long as Stef is willing to put out, he really doesn’t care how she treats other people.

And as much as I would like to see Stef get her face messed up, I agree with some of the posters who suggested Tiff trip her. Although I think Tiff should grab Stef from behind, slam her face into a wall, then start yelling: "Oh! Stef! YOU TRIPPED!! You poor thing, how terrible! "

Ya know Stef is embarrassed when she’s all teeth.

Sorry Ivlax, I don’t agree with you at all! There is NO excuse for Tiff to use violence and Kip did the right thing. He basically is saving Tiff from herself in this case. Let’s be kind (to Kip – NOT to Stef) and see what he has to say to Stef…..in front of Tiff.

I know a guy named Moe who’d be happy to lend Tiff a pie.

Get her Tiff. If anyone ever deserved it, it’s Stef.

If she punches with her wrist bent like that, it could mean a subsequent visit to the ER!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Let her, Kip. Let her. Steph needs a bit dose of reality.

Why I yotta

Stef is turning out to be the new Ann Eiffel. We do need an occasional villain in an ongoing drama.

As much as I want Stef to get what’s coming to her, this isn’t the way to do it.

Yes, Tiff has every right to be angry. Having to listen to Stef’s body shaming was bad enough. But then Stef accused her of stealing and of being jealous, plus she threatened to sue, which would’ve meant a lot of trouble for Tiff and her father to go through.

Now the ring has been found, and what does Stef say about it? Nothing. She didn’t want Tiff to find out because she loved using it against Tiff as part of her shaming tactics. It’s only thanks to Kip that Tiff found out the truth. So, instead of apologizing like a good person would, Stef expects Tiff to just laugh it off and pretend nothing happened.

But here’s the thing… If Tiff was to punch Stef, chances are Stef would cry like a baby banshee and use it to accuse Tiff of being mean out of jealousy, hoping anyone who listens would take Stef’s side over Tiff.

Why? Because that is how Stef is! Stef is an insecure bully who needs to shame others to feel good about herself. She is so blinded by her own ego, that she doesn’t think about how others feel. She doesn’t realize that Tiff has no reason to be jealous of her. Tiff (hopefully) is getting a business degree to help create TiffAsNails, a sports spa, so she can monetize on her cosmetic skills.

As for Kip… Let’s see if he can make Stef apologize for her actions. He’ll have his work cut out for him.

Doesn’t Kipper look exactly like a nonthreatening Disney prince? Boring.

I hope Kip gets between them, dumps Stef, and apologizes to Tiff.

Go on, pop her…

It’s time for Stef to go. Tiffany is speaking for a lot of us.

I would like to see that. Now time for the cold shoulder treatment.

You’ve just committed simple assault, Kip. So, take your hand off Tiffany and let her break Stef’s nose, as she so richly deserves. —Temporarily off the “beautiful cheerleader” list and maybe even learning a bit of humility and a scooch of ethical behavior (but I probably am hoping for too much; Stef is Stef)….

Throw Steffie out.

Is it just me or is her form terrible?

Kipped it in the bud.

I was curious so I went back 10 years from today’s strip and found the first meeting of Tiffany and Ox! Seeing how Les’ interaction with Tiffany evolved makes me wonder what the plans are for Stef after she gets slapped around a bit by karma.

Why cant Stef move to a different room? You arent forced to live with the same person every year at college
