Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 12, 2023

What is wrong with being eager and joyous to work at a new job, Dez?

Tiff and Kip certainly seem happy.. almost giddy. It’s nice to see.

.

So how long will it take until Stef rushes in there, and starts screaming?? lol

I see Dez is losing her cool. Perhaps she needs a cuppa.

Pot

Patience is a virtue, but time is fleeting.

So, they should drink a cup of tea before they par-tea?

Kip & Tiff have a joyous attitude could Stef be losing her Kippey to Tiff.

Kip looks positively jovial with Steff out of the way (⁠☞⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠ ⁠☞

I’d love pizza with (iced) tea.

I wonder if Stef, in a jealous rage, destroys Dez’ tea supply, and then someone (Dez? Kip? Tiff?) kills her.

Oh, I forgot: this is “Luann”, not “Rex Morgan, MD”!!

TIFFANY: “Your point?”

Let me guess: Those two aren’t being mindful or new agey enough for Dez, or something.

Anyone else notice that Tiffany has lost all the weight she gained when she was upset about her dad and Ann Eiffel?

Double entendres again. Seems to be GNK’s favorite thing to do lately which is getting boring.

4th panel: Dez’s comment about gratification has Tiff eyeballing Kip, again.

They need more tea-m work!

It’s okay Dez, you don’t have to eat with them!

Pizza flavored tea!. Kipper’s rolled up his sleeves. Now is time to wash hands before touching something someone else is gonna consume.

Well, they are Gen-Z (formerly Millennial)..

Oh JEEZE!

Please don’t tell Us that Tiffany is about to call Gunther and “order” another fancy grilled cheese sandwich! ;-)

Good on Dez reigning in the greed. All Tiff ane Kip see is a business opportunity. Dez’s tea is popular because it’s effective and tastes good. If it’s too effective, that’s a problem, same if it’s not effective enough and tastes bad.

If Tiff can get dollar signs and school credit out of her head, she can probably teach Dez something about operations and production without sacrificing quality.

I think Dez is about to teach them an important life lesson. She might even decide not to make her own tea blend until the others are in the right mood. Which with Tiffany could take days, given her desire to establish herself and earn. I love how serious Dez is and how she doesn’t want to do compromises that would go against her ideals. Atta girl!

Dez just described the typical American……

They have the munchies! Do they really know all of the ingredients in that tea? This may not end well.

It looks like Dez and Stef are both going to be upset by the end of the week!

Our beloved Ann❤️Eiffel is not about instant gratification. Dearest Ann❤️Eiffel makes you wait for your gratification and even then, you probably won’t get it. We all ❤️ Ann❤️Eiffel and with arcs like this, Ann❤️Eiffel is overdue. LONG overdue. Ann❤️Eiffel, come home!

OK, I’m trying to imagine a Dow Chemical factory — “We won’t start synthesizing nylon until we all feel balanced.” I just have the feeling that we’d still be trying to perfect the bow and arrow with that approach.

Sometimes, you just have this moment where you realize that you have some friends you need to distance yourself from.

I take back what I said about this being a beautiful partnership.

Centering is a meditative and visualization technique that can support you in retaining focus, promoting relaxation, and relieving anxiety.

I didn’t see where they even created a design for the labels to go on the jars!

Oh boy, are we in for an arc centering around “Informed Wrongness” where the character gets browbeat for not knowing the “obvious” thing to do with the “moral” character just being exasperated even though they didn’t give clear instruction. That kind of thing really drags a nothing conflict out to a tiring degree. Here it doesn’t even make sense, they literally haven’t actually made a mistake yet but Dez is already getting preachy and frustrated.

Dez wants them to get in the ZEN!

I hope this doesn’t end badly for Dez.

Patience is not their virtue!

These characters enjoy being themselves, and together. Earth mother Dez rocking the Luannverse version of the metaphysical realm, while Kip and Tiffany are wafting the subtle but strong subliminal scent of phermones of attraction, of the physical kind. Ah so sweet, so warm, so wracked with terror should/when Steffi gets a whiff. Will hilarity ensue?

Dez has her hands full. She understands the expression ‘herding cats.’

Dez is the epitome of patience

Kip and Tiff need to curb their own “appetites” and follow Dez’s lead or they could just wind up with a bunch of ordinary tea with no special properties at all. Dez always prepares her tea leaves by infusing them with the INTENT toward positive vibes that makes it special. Kip and Tiff are only excited about making money so although they might sell a lot of the product, it won’t have Dez’s special touch.

And somewhere pines a forlorn Ox, another victim of unrequited love.

Today serves as a reminder that in her own way, Dez is just as insufferable as her roommates.

Your two grasshoppers are poor students.

Alright Dez. Kip and Tiff are no longer interested in this business venture.

There is a lot to learn about teas and Tisanes and it’s not done overnight. Kip and Tiff are only in for the money; Dez is providing a benefit to people, and knows her “product”. I hope she can educate these two. It would be a lesson in marketing as well. Be calm! ;-)

Does the tea lose its magic if you don’t have it at 4 O’Clock?

Either get on with it with this tea story or start another arc.

They do say that hunger is one of the side effects of “tea drinking”.

Kip is a bit of a wit, isn’t he? As well as being instinctively helpful.

snooze …

You need nourishment to be creative.

I told you, Tiff would find a way to mess this up. She can’t keep a business, no matter how great the idea.

Whoa, Dez. Spark up a fatty and mellow out.

Narcissists as partners, what could go wrong?

Hippie vs Capitalists, I’m thoroughly enjoying the back and forth between these three kids. AND I tend to see a possible future between Kip and Tiff. Yes, I know I’m probably late with that one; but I’ve been really sick with COVID for the past month. FINALLY starting to crawl back from it.

Is Dez losing her cool?

Google “Demotivational Posters”. You can hang them around the workplace to help quash that runaway work ethic.

Dez already had all the tea ingredients in the dorm. No need to harvest tea or “chop” anything. Tiff and Kip will soon realize that getting the free ingredients from Dez for this little business venture involves putting up with her coaching about gaining universal awareness and focusing spiritual energy. They won’t get any product in those bottles any time soon.

Hash in the tea mix?

How long before Tiff and Kip go for a kip.

Seems as though even Dez is becoming frustrated by the “Me. Now!” generation. But if she would just let the children (Kip and Tiff) proceed, all would work out….

Tsk, missing the opportunity to experience the zen of tea, eh? Hey, if it works for Dez, I’d go along with it.
