Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 25, 2023

Bad move, Luann. Trying to “fix” a guy rarely turns out well.

Looks like Luann will pursue Walt. I doubt she’ll get anywhere. He seemed more interested in Bernice, and we know he wasn’t enamoured with Tiff. I also seriously don’t think Frank would approve of him. lol

So next week.. this story continues and Bernice is told about Walt/Piro??

I don’t understand this AT ALL. Bring back the Aussie.

Looking for another lost cause Luann? Try to find someone in your life who you can care for and can care for you.

You can’t fix him, Luann, but you might be the one who makes his life worth living. If so, you have a difficult road ahead, but then, don’t we all?

Lord, Luann. You sure could pick guys, eh? Trust me, don’t pick guys with issues. Let him heal himself and lose his issues first.

Luann?!? Fix someone elses life?!? Luann, you couldn’t fix an election if your brother was the governor. lol

Well the switch-up came late this week. Looks like Luann has developed a sudden interest in Piro – note her word. Right now it looks like Lu wants to do a little mothering and ease Piro’s “sad, broody, brokenness.” Will GnC allow this to develop on its own? Or will Bernice seek a piece of Piro. Or will Piro shut Lu down and mostly show an interest in Bernice?

Still a lotta ways this could go.

Yeah! Brokenness for the Luann’s “❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️”

Fixing a guy is a “national pastime” and hoping you never change!

he needs a real friend Luann, maybe start there?

Nope.

I’m voting for Lu and Piro as the least likely couple.

I can’t wait for Lu to take this guy home to meet Frank and Nancy.

Although it may never get to that, because I kinda doubt that Walter here will want to be your “personal project,” Lu.

Mrs. Horner! Come back! I miss you already!

Interesting duo: still water that runs deep, and a shallow, babbling brook.

Luann, no! People and relationships should not be projects.

Will we see Tara tell Luann her cousin’s intense, sad story, or will she regard it as something Piro/Walt told her in confidence? (Luann: Aw, c’mon. Tell me. Tara: Can you keep a secret? L: Of course. T: So can I.)

Change that second “i” to a “u,” Tara, and I think you hit the nail on the head.

NOOOOOO! Don’t do it, Luann! Danger! Danger!

Once again Luann is attracted to Piro and his romantic and decadent charm as an unlucky hero. Actually, a relationship between them could be a good thing for both. But it will be impossible for Bernice to stay out, he still thinks of her and it’s unthinkable that she’s really not interested in him. Maybe in this story Luann will have to choose between her BFF and a guy she likes?

You have to know how the vehicle runs before you can fix it.

Fixing him, eh? Hopefully, it is not like “fixing” your dog or cat. Better keep movin’ there, Piro…

No, Luann, don’t…it’s a trap! You can’t fix a dude unless he WANTS to be fixed. Piro doesn’t wanna be, or he’d have taken his original name back. Stay admiring him from afar and find some other dude.

Sure, ask him out on a date and listen to him talk about Bernice for two hours.

Saving the other person is always such a great basis for a relationship. Especially when you want or need a partner to step up and be something other than a self-involved taker. Experiencing a hard time, a setback, or a crushing loss? A broken person is exactly what you want in your corner!

“Bad Boy” types make for fun, interesting, short-term boyfriends….however, they make for very lousy long-term relationships..

Luann, you’re gonna try to hit on him, are you??

You knew I was a snake when you took me in.

Sally. Obviously you do not know the back story. If you did, you would understand the arc. But that is OK, you will learn.

Piro? Walt? I suggest we call him P W! 8^ )

Miss Fix Him? Hmm. The only one who has a chance of “fixing“ him hasn’t shown up yet… Bernice!

Luann needs to be a fix-em!

Luann would "mis-fix’ Piro, for sure.

Hey Luann – no one wants to be loved because they are pitied.

Luann woman have tried over the years to fix their man and generally blows up in their face.

If Luann gets up close to Piro, you can add confused to broody and broken.

Luann is out of Piro’s league. She’s too much of a suburban square to handle a “bad boy” from the wrong side of the tracks.

Better yet …. material for your budding romance novel Luann.

oh, Luann

Go volunteer at the animal shelter Luann, where you might actually help those who are sad, broken and broody (that is if you don’t mess it up somehow). Piro doesn’t need your particular brand of bs.

Today’s strip is brought to you by the word “contrived”

I’ve always hated that Greg draws Luann’s eyebrows on top of her bangs. Ridiculous and distracting. Once you see it you can’t unsee it…

My daughter is a Miss Fix-im. Despite her psychology degree, it hasn’t worked as evidenced by her two ex husbands. At least I got 2 beautiful granddaughters out of the deal.

♬…he’s a bit of a fixer-upper…♬

Luann; you had “relationships” with seemingly well adjusted “boys” that didn’t last, for whatever reasons. Besides the fact you find him physically appealing, what does “broody and broken” attracts you about Piro?

First wife and subsequent girlfriend thought I needed “fixing.” Present wife of 27 years gave tolerance, love and affection and a shared love of Jazz, bicycle riding, and joy of anime and manga, among other things. And that’s why it’s been 27 years and still going.

Be careful Luann.

Once again, I like seeing that Tara is committed to her writing; she moves immediately to checking her work wasting little time on the Piro discussion. Luann always seems to have a closed notebook or a resting piece of paper and pencil in front of her.

Luann accepts the challenge

I wonder what kind of grade Tara’ll get for her “Greg 2/25” report? o<[|;o)

Run Luann and don’t look back.

Didn’t we go through this with Piro and Bernice?

As they say in ‘Star Wars’, I have a bad feeling about this.

Still small question: How is PIro’s name (nickname, I guess) pronounced? PEE-ro or PIE-ro?

Luann loves life’s challenges.

Tara’s got Luann number — er plan.

Dear Luann, Do not do this, signed Been-There-Done-That

Well Luann to fix others you much fix yourself.

All together now: “WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG??”

Sunday: Nancy thinks Frank has lost it.

You nailed it, Tara. Loopy Luann has visions of making everything right with Walt (Piro) and kindling, at last, real romance! Yeah, sure, FAT CHANCE, Lu Lu!

Luann’s man-picker has never worked. Ever. Aaron Hill was not interested. Gunther was but Luann wasn’t into him. Elwood the imitation Elvis was too weird. The Aussie, whatever his name was, was too career-focused to commit. Jack is just a friend. Piro is clearly not looking for a relationship. How about she just focuses on her studies instead of mooning after guys?

(sigh) I think I may have found my Miss Fix-‘im. She thinks I’m wonderful. Must be working, I’m telling a bunch of complete strangers in a comic comments section.
