Is this a hint for Luann to move out or to simply clean up her act? More than one shop vac, broom and dustpan, mop bucket, etc. in a house hold is just superfluous clutter. Where is she supposed to store it-in her room?
Okay, we’re way past the “Ha ha Luann is a messy teenager” humor.
We’re now we’re starting to get into the territory of “Why is Luann in her twenties, still living with her parents, and unable to keep her room clean?” This is unhealthy, folks.
“We don’t mind you staying here while you’re in college. We don’t charge you rent. But contribute something to the household rather than just making messes for your mother to clean up!”
And Frank opened his gifts from his wife, and discovered she’d bought him cleaning supplies too.
Between how Brad was (today’s Luann Againn classic strip) and how he is today… its good to see the holiday spirit in him!! Merry Christmas one and all!
The theme is what they’re “suggesting” what your first New Year’s resolution should be.Wouldn’t it be interesting to see what Brad and Toni got each other?
When Frank and Nancy team up to do a prank, they are able to pull some brilliant ones, “poor” Luann, even Puddles is worried. This really made me smile. Is also so sweet to see Brad and Toni lost in their world where only the two of them exist. Happy holidays to everyone and Happy Holidays to Greg and Karen♡.
What a pretty drawing! There is a LOT of detail there! One detail that’s missing are the presents marked “from Luann”, but then we knew that was going to happen LOL! Have a Merry Christmas and Stay Safe!
I guess we were due for a reminder that Frank is actually a pretty terrible person. I can’t stand Luann’s room either, but that’s a pretty messed up thing to do to your kid on Christmas. Though maybe it’s payback for when Luann gave “I will clean my room” as a Christmas gift and then failed to deliver (she decided halfway through to repaint her walls and made an even bigger mess) or her horrible gift-giving in general.
As Reddit says: ESH – everybody sucks here. (It’s just a Reddit term for when both sides are in the wrong, so please don’t come at me saying that Brad and Toni don’t deserve to be attacked. I don’t mean “everybody” literally)
I recall a few weeks ago Luann was buying Christmas presents for everyone but it was stuff she wanted for herself. I think it’s very appropriate that they bought ‘gifts’ for her that she won’t use.
So after years of asking and demanding that a bedroom be kept clean, these parent have resorted to giving their less than cooperative (or appreciative) daughter cleaning supplies for Christmas, and still, she seems to only slowly be getting the hint. If this was a real family it would be an incredibly sad situation. I suppose all those supplies will end up at the Fuse because Luann will never use them.
20 degrees currently, coming out of a 48 hour monster blizzard. The entire county is under a driving ban, my city is completely socked in, and the National Guard is working to help clear the streets. Literally everything was at a standstill for two days: Fire trucks, ambulances, plows, etc., could not get through the storm. I can’t open my back door (don’t know about the front, I never use it) and the snow in my driveway is probably up to my hips. I have heat and lights, thank god, and food. Many lost power and about 500 people (who should have stayed home) were rescued out of cars stuck in the snow. Merry Christmas.
Give it a rest, G&K. This gag stopped being funny a loooonnnngggg time ago. And Christmas is not the day for passive aggressiveness. Do better for Luann in 2023.

The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babewrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of theheavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men..
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! =)
