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

Oh, Luann, you’re back to your romance novel, are you?

And just like that, it’s “Piro WHO??”

Do it Bernice! You’re an adult now. Have some harmless fun.

Bern doesn’t Leer and tell…

Drool away Bern.

Personally I’m glad that’s over. How ’bout Quill send the boomerang necklace back to Luann and make a surprise return?

Look Luann, either use your own vivid imagination, or do your own research. Discretely and inconspicuously, that is.

And Bernice is back to acting smug and superior, with no character growth whatsoever.

So, Bernice, what DID you learn?

I’m glad the arc is over. Here hoping that Ann makes a reappearance.

47 minutes? An artist might barely have the portrait blocked in in 47 minutes. It would take days to paint such a portrait.

Unless Nil is painting just eyebrows again.

B is pretentiously pretending to have ‘learned something about art’, and angrily reacting to Luann figuring she’s learned something about a man’s attributes…

Has Bernice become addicted to Nature Boy? Encore. Encore.

So, Bernice was staring at Jack’s “descriptive parts”? Got it.

The very same “attributes” that Luann herself has sketched.

Forty-seven minutes is precise. Was she watching the clock or Jack’s tail for 47 minutes? Anyhow, is it next week we get to see how well Dez and Tiffany are getting along as roomies? Where will Dez have her incense, and will she be able to practice naked yoga in their room?

Bernice really doesn’t like Luann, does she? She was happy to talk romance novels with her mom, but she shuts Luann right down when they could’ve had a lot of fun together with this.

Can she help you, Lu? Why yes, yes she can. ;-9

Luann. You should know a lady doen’t tell. (Bernice wants to keep the “details” for her dreams, anyway)

Hm. Luann is being a little….snarky.

Luann and Bernice keep alternating moments where they look like BFFs and others where they look like enemies as if nothing had happened. In this case is the former because Bernice is bragging about having done something interesting. I don’t think Nil finished the painting in that short time, Bernice will have to go back to posing in the next few days. But now she has learned how to pose and maybe, in the future, she will admit she enjoys doing it. She truly learned many things and all thanks to Nil, who probably is her soulmate♡. I think a description made by Bernice would make Luann’s novel rather spicy.

Well, Nils can always display the finished painting in the future; say, when Bernice is walking with Piro (“Uh, Bernice; isn’t that YOU? AND WHO THE HECK IS HE?!?”)

47 minutes. not ’almost an hour", not “quite a while” … 47 minutes exactly.

says a lot where her mind was. :-/

Expected LuAnn to take the line from a song in ‘Grease’ – “Tell me more, tell me more”

Bernice knows it was exactly 47 minutes. I guess she was looking at her watch the whole time and not at Jack’s junk. Did she subtract the time they took for a break?

Luann, write from your own experience. You once saw Gunther naked! Okay, it was completely by accident and both of you were embarrassed by the incident, but it happened! :)

I doubt any of that would phase a real 20 year old gen-Z student. They grew up with the internet, after all. Artistic nudity is tame. Also Luann is so thirsty to hear about what Jack looked like naked… when she’s already seen him naked. The girl has a memory of a goldfish. She probably already forgot about seeing Gunther running around bare-naked in the library too.

Anyway, if this were more realistic they’d speculate on whether or not Nil is into Jack. Nil’s artpiece was an unsubtle excuse to get Jack naked. The forced surprise-exhibitionism-by-proxy was merely a bonus for Nil, cause… well, he’s obviously got his devious kinks. Everyone yesterday pointed out the flawed reasoning in the “DaVinci didn’t do nudity” argument, and yeah while Leonardo didn’t PAINT nudity… the statue of David also wasn’t a painting either so this project was a flimsy outlet for Nil’s repressed crush on Jack.

Stop just stop. What kind of a reply is that? It doesn’t make sense – stop asking me questions? She was offering the information. Stop being curious? She started the conversation. Luann has already seen Jack naked so Bernice acting protective is stupid.

Next week will probably be Dez and Tiff doing yoga. Karen needs more nudity to work with.

Sure as shootin’ our much beloved Ann ❤️ Eiffel could help Luann with the so-called romance novel. Ann ❤️ Eiffel has a library full of her adventures and they are not centered on “romance”. And we all ❤️ it!!

Luann wants to hear the “descriptive parts”!

Luann needs help with the descriptive parts?

But, but, what if it’s a false syllogism (gasp)

Time for Bernice to move out. These two girls need to separate if they want to remain friends. Things are getting toxic between them.

Luann has had her chance to gaze (art class). she shouldn’t need help.

I wanted to see the painting; maybe some day in a gallery (in the strip)

What she isn’t saying is how uncomfortable she was. I think Bern is relieved it’s over and doesn’t want to relive it in any novel Luann writes. I know I’m glad it’s over..hoping anyway.

So much for character development.

Jack was a model in Luann’s art class. Did Luann forget that she has already seen Jack?

Simply put: I like Bernice’s jaunty retro-look better than Bernice’s dark, Mistress of the Mausoleum look. Back to the re-sale shoppe, kid.

Sardonic (scornful) Hypothetical (imagined) Syllogism (deduction based on premise). Nil can’t call it what it is (negative attitudes creating made-up ideas based on assumptions), and Bernice thinks she’s smart repeating his words. They should both quit school and go into politics.

Luann is pretty humorous here, Nice

And there it is! What Luann needs in order to write her romance novel. ;-)

It was not about “Da Vinci”, it was about Leonardo. Nil, an art student, is gonna make a fool of himself when he describes this to people, so at least there’s a happy ending.

Luann just needs to look at Michelangelo’s David, unless, of course, she in Florida

Why does lvavl’s (sp?) comments keep disappearing, along with all the replies? I was going to add a comment to that thread but could not. When I refreshed the page, the comment was gone.

Next week we are due for Stefani or Gunther. I am happy any week we do Not have them.

I can’t believe Luann still insists on writing a romance novel. That thing’s gonna read even worse than My Immortal. Luann describing sexual activity is like a pacifist draft dodger describing small unit infantry tactics.

A bunch of comments have been removed again ??

I’m glad to see that Luann is working on a romance novel and that she wasn’t spooked by her inability to take a prompt in writing class. And Nil’s idea that Da’vinci’s Mona Lisa smiles because she’s gazing at Michelangelo’s nude (and he wants to show that in his own painting) is witty and hilarious. I like these art and literary themed arcs.

Too late Bernice, you opened that can of worms.

Awww.. Bernice should have kept the black wig. It works for her better than that cap. =)

Well, that wasn’t the most satisfying conclusion to this arc. We never get to seehow Nil’s painting ended up. And even worse, we’ll never definitively know if it was a protein bar or a chocolate Long John. lol

.

So what will Monday’s new arc be? I’m guessing something with Tiff.

If Bern would just take off that hat, her outfit wouldn’t be quite so over the top, just atypical bohemian.

Sardonic hypothetical syllogism? Come again? Is that Nil-speak?

Ann…yuck. How about Quill?

…. thereby finally answering the question: How’s it hanging.

Today Bee seems to still be wearing at least the bodice of her Mona Lisa costume. Wonder if that will be get new muse get up for Nil.

Cartoonists must be trying to appeal to a younger audience—a MUCH younger audience—10 or so?

anything about these two and sex are a going-nowhere arc. if it starts, check back in on saturday. heh.

Blacklisted!

Sunday: Frank and Nancy dream.

Bernice is so pretentious. LuAnn must really have low self-esteem to think that Bernice is a friend.

47 minutes is kind of specific.

Where’s Max? Where am I? Deleted

Wellllll….that was awkward.

Nothing much happened with Bernice, the rest was just puff-n-stuff. Lets see what happens Monday. No predictions.

Well we’re not sure, there might be puff-n-stuff which we didn’t see, but perhaps Bern did. Given her sex and life deficit who knows what could happen.

It seems the principal of a Florida charter school was recently let go after failing to make sure that parents were notified before their 6th grade students were shown Michelangelo’s David in a Renaissance art class.

Hmm…the details of the story didn’t seem to affect LuAnn too much at all.

A few parents in a Florida school are demanding a principal be fired because a teacher showed sixth graders pictures of historical art pieces in their art class, including “David”. So this is actually quite timely. Are art pieces depicting the human body nude art? Or as one poster claims, porn, and we should all “repent”? (Note: Sixth graders have already had at least one year of sex ed, as females now get their cycles 5-6 years earlier than just a few decades ago. Extra hormones from factory-farmed milk, pollution, and other issues are the cause for that. I’ve seen sixth grade boys with sideburns around here!)

Do love this last strip. It finishes up the arc nicely!

Dueling Snarks! The one thing Luann has learned in the last six years (ages 13 to 19) is to be as snarky to Bernie as Bernie is to her.

It’s a sad record of non-maturation….

hooray.

Now, just whang on a minute, wanker

Love that last panel. LOL !

I love all of the characters. I look forward to seeing what they will do next. I miss Delta. What happened to her?
