Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 17, 2022

Les is being totally annoying! Can the officer please Tase him?? lol

At least, Tiff is now in the hands of the professionals.

Who knew that cops, in the city of Pitts, drive police cars from the 1980’s?? lol

.

I guess they’ll both go to the hospital with Tiff.

Will they ever show what broke the window.. or are we screwed??

Resolved? ✨

Oh, this’ll be quite the scoop.

On to the Hospital! Where we’ll hear a doctor say, “Who are these two, bozos?”

Actually, officer, you are wrong. A competition is EXACTLY what this is.

Another week of dumb and dumber. The infamous Evans “misdirection” and stupidity ensues.

Why is Les, who has been in trouble with the law, trying to impress this police officer with his bullsh*t story?

Hasn’t Knox learned that “Snitches get Stitches?”

That aside, where do We go next? Tiffany’s hospital bedside or a search of the “manse” by law enforcement revealing “who” or “what” broke that window?

And by the way.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if that Officer happened to be Bets’ mom?

Whatever happened to TeaFanny and Ringo?

how is Tiff tho?

No, Les failed to stop the oaf from picking her up and cradling her in his arms, which is hardly better. They’re both oafs.

“You, Greaser, let us start by you explaining all that blood on your apron…”

And yet again! Another left handed character.

Still more bearable than Stef and Betts.

The broken window. The elephant in the room. Ann Eiffel. It just has to be.

Hopefully Ox reported that Tiff said “burglars” and the police have searched the house. Now, Les go back to your dishes and Ox can accompany Tiff to the hospital.

Arrest Les for obstruction.

I see an ambulance, so at last Tiffany might be getting the medical help she probably needs, after that fall. That, at least, is a relief. The dueling wanna-be heroes is just a groan-fest…

FINALLY! Someone (Ox) called 911. Surely the police will check out the house and we’ll get an answer about the window. Tiff will be in the hospital. Will we find out how badly Tiff is hurt (not that much, I expect). Does daddy show up? Will he make some changes in her living arrangements? Will we find out her true friends by who shows up at the hospital? Will Bets show up and want to post this to her followers (I hope not). Les will surely try and take credit for saving her. Will Tiff finally recognize what a friend she has in Ox? Tune in all of this week for “as the Mooney Uni turns” soap opera.

The officer is cool.

I like this competition. Expecially now that Tiffany is having the medical help she needs.

Les is trying to impress the officer by making his actions sound official and helpful when they weren’t. He wants to make himself look like the hero to tiffany so as to score brownie points.

So is Tiff getting help in the ambulance i would hope, Why is Les talking. Ox tell the officer what he needs to know and tell Les you have this under control.

The policewoman is so well drawn I suspect she will stick around for a bit. Greg tends to draw temporary characters quite generically. And will she ask if they work at the same place upon observing both have the same work logo affixed to their uniforms? Will that alert them that they abandoned their jobs and need to return ASAP?

Les describing Tiff as “the vic” (victim) shows where his interest lies …. in trying to make himself look good …. not real concern for Tiffany.

What!, no paramedics. Tiffany must be okay?

Leslie Knox needs to return to the Fuse and finish washing the dishes.

Delta? Is that you?

Why don’t you slugs get out of the way and let the professionals do their jobs? They HATE it when civilians try to be HELPFUL:.;D

Give it a rest Les ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ. Tiff called Ox, not you and Ox called 911…not you. Talk about “liar liar pants on fire”

Why does an interesting scenario have to get this silly?

Leslie Knox`s biological father was a police officer. Maybe, Leslie Knox can join the Pitts Police Academy? Maybe, become a detective?

I’m glad they called 911

So why didn’t Tiffany call 911 instead of calling Ox? Just sayin’.

In other maybe more interesting news, the New Adventures of Queen Victoria has a new post today!

Competition? Then Ox should sack Les.

In all fairness to Ox, it would have gone much smoother without Les, which is exactly why he was along – need that comic relief in a comic.

Hoo boy..

Les Knox is the 21st century version of Eddie Haskell!!

I’m sure the police will notify Tiff’s father.

Now: will he stop his wheeling and dealing long enough to be at his daughter’s side??

Bragging is off-putting, by itself. But it’s even more obnoxious when a person brags about doing something that made things worse. Yes, I’m talking to YOU, Les.

Les, if I were you, I would be more concerned about Tiffany’s well being and the robbery than actually trying to take credit for everything.

“oaf” is a very underused word.

maybe Tiff stepped on the ball and that is why she fell

Shut up Les.

To quote Joe Friday, “just the facts.”

Why, why, why did Ox let Les come along on this rescue. Ox had to know Les would be no help at all. Perhaps, now he’ll figure it out.

Les portraying “Barney Fife”. :-/

Don’t they separate people for questioning so that the first one speaking won’t poison the other person’s story?

Les is funny. “Stopped the oaf from galloping off to the ER”. He should be a writer.

Big Dumb Ox was really wrong to pick Tiffany up, it was totally the worst thing he could have done and Les was correct about not moving her. Beyond that, Greg has these two acting like five year-olds and WHY has Ox shrunk again??

Nice coloring and handling of background in panel 1. Will they visit Tiffany in the hospital, contact her father, go back to the Kafe and inform their bosses or continue arguing? An-tis-a-pay-shun! §:-o

Oh, brother!

At some point they should undertake the conversion of Les into a better person. Hopefully he will not remain a jerk forever.

I see an Ox – Tiff kiss in the near future

Did any one notice the police officer is left handed?

Who is minding the Fuse?

A left-handed constable.

Someone needs to go w/Tiff

My only issue with this scenario is Tiff’s dad is smart, rich and has this mansion. It would certainly be protected by a hi-tech security system that would have called the police as soon as the window was broken.

“But if it WERE a competition, I’d be winning, right?”

Hilarity ensues, as I always like to point out. These two bozos have genuine concern for Tiffany, that is obvious, and anyone who follows the strip can see how that has been developed in a fun, but quite deep way: Ox’s sweet shyness and obvious romantic interest (I feel much sorrier for him than Gunther who has the hot babe, after all, even though some don’t and never will approve of her as a main character or Gunther GF), Les’ clear trauma trying to become the opposite of anti-social, after the number his mom, the evil Ann Eiffel (Awful) sociopathic grifter did on him. Les has a deep-seated insecurity but shares a problematic parent issue with Tiffany. Hilarity will still ensue as we go forward, even though with all the projection, I argue that the story is being missed. Whatever though, there is more than one way to enjoy this strip, which is drawn humorously, while it makes some very universal human behavior insights. Why I like it after more than 30 years.

So when Les does useless karate poses he is rightfully mocked, but when Tara did them she was praised (see the strip for March 2-3, 2021.) Talk about a double standard.

Wow! Both these guys just might CARE about Tiff! (This is kind of how goofy teens act…) yeah goofy when they care sometimes.

Doesn’t that cop almost look like Delta?

Lots of testosterone in action! But is obvious they both have a thing/ care for her!

Les is a PIA big time

Maybe Les and Tara should get together. She does karate poses, too.

Remember how she “scared” off her evil cousin, who was in the process of leaving anyway? Just before said cousin flattened her with a car? :D :D :D :P :P :P

they need to call her dad

For some people, everything is a competition.

Thank goodness! The ambulance is here for Tiffany. And the police, too. Ox stayed calm and called 911 while Les panicked.

Does anyone else see the possibility of les and ox being inspired for police academy ?I also predict dad will come home to look over the situation and decide it’s not safe for Tiffany to be alone in the mansion. (No thanks to bets broadcasting that on her YouTube vlog) The broken window will prove to be nothing, but it did lead to her getting hurt. Dad won’t be able to return home because of work, so Tiffany won’t be staying alone…so new roommates at mansion, or back to the dorm?

Luann’s parents move into the mansion.Luann and Bernice left on t heir own,.Manage NOT to burn the house down.

I’m just relieved to see the ambulance & cop.

Sometimes it’s the thought that counts.

“Routed our vector to the active scene”. . . ? Se habla Ingles? Was sagt der Knabe? Sorry, I don’t speak Kryptonite.

Hey the officer is left handed. Cool!!!!!!

What a total let down. Tif gets hurt and its brought down like this? Where’s the suspense? The tears, the actual CARING!

I believe that most cops’ jobs are like this interview, rather than what you see on TV. Les is of course being an idiot whilst Ox is actually helpful; but it still seems tedious. All of you in law enforcement have my respect.

Remember the drawing of the outside of the mansion. There was a 1st story roof just below that 2nd story window.

Please, officer, arrest that A-hole Leslie and gag him! His annoying ego makes me nauseous….
