Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 21, 2023

Try hard

Luann clearly missed her calling… Stand Up Comedian.

Good to See Mrs.Horner going strong and keeping so active.

I remember that “Where should we take them?” line for the 1987 comedy Summer School. I bet Karen saw that. lol

And once again, Luann DeGroot is becoming Luan Loud.

We already did the humorous writing exercise. What’s next?

There is nothing less funny than people who have been told they’re funny and then try too hard.

Luann takes a lesson from her dad…

Trio

Did I read that right? Did Luann make a joke about being a half-wit?

I agree this story is too slow moving. Suddenly I remember Buzz Sawyer. The Eugene Register-Guard was flooded with complaints, so the strip was pulled. The only thing we missed was knowing if the baby was a boy or girl. Come on. Speed it up.

Luann × Piro × Tara ?

I find it hard to shut off the quips. Luann, I feel your pain.

Luann you are no Redd Foxx.

Okay, so what does Luann do if Mrs H asks the class to write a creative synopsis of their summer? Does she embellish her story to try to “one up” Tara and impress Walt? I mean, what did she actually do this summer besides argue with Bernice?

Walt on the other hand, may have an interesting story to share, perhaps he did other things besides go parasailing. Maybe he writes about seeing a red headed guy getting dumped at the bus station out of an old ruby red van by an irate girl in an Uhura TOS costume who was throwing the kitchen sink at the odd, crying, meek looking kid and this made Walt realize his life is not so bad after all.

Cornball.

Luann that’s gonna wear thin after a while

Better hope that Mrs. Horner appreciates wiseguys.;-D

Well if Lu can make Piro laugh – she’s got a pretty good connection.

Luann may think she’s just a half-wit but I’m pretty sure she’s a full nitwit.

Luann has turned into Rosanne Barr……annoying.

Piro looks less melancholy. Is the star gone or was it on the other side?

Trying too hard, LuAnn.

Having a college instructor say, “Take your seats” seems very jr. highish.

That’s a solid tear of dad jokes.

Well Luann he did rmember your name. Thats a solid start

I hope Luann knows when to stop or she could embarrass herself (⁠☞ﾟ⁠∀ﾟ⁠)⁠☞

Calm down, Luann!

Piro looks so happy to see his cousin and Luann again. It’s nice to see how for him Luann is a great person, talented at coming up with jokes and entertaining people. He has accepted her as a friend and likes her jokes, this is a huge step for a person suffering from depression. Being next to her will certainly be good for him. It’s also nice to see how Tara doesn’t get in the way and lets her friend talk to her cousin, limiting herself to greeting him with her hand. Despite her worries, she trusts her and that it will be good for Piro to have her around. Mrs Horner is full of energy as always. In short, it’s a wonderful Back to school. Let’s hope Piro don’t start asking Luann questions about Bernice, making everything awkward.

I’m sure Lu will come up with a punny story very soon.

Walter has a new look! The star in his hair is gone.

Hopefully Luann doesn’t get put out of class tomorrow.

Ugh.

It’s Aaron Hill all over again. Luann is trying to get his attention and doesn’t realize just be herself is the best way.

So—Luann is a half-wit?? Very observant, Piro.

Luann polishing her Vaudeville act :D

I remember how funny a comedian described the people in a rural Walmart. Lots of camo.

that’s just sad.

Those two are clearly made for each other.

there’s such a thing as trying too hard.

Luann is hoping her toddler attempts at humour will grow, but right now she’s just a nit wit.

Take them parasailing.

Maybe take Pedro to the furniture store to get one night stand since they already have had one and would like a matching set. Badda BING! Thank you. Thank you very much lowly unworthies. The Count will be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses, drive safe and God Bless.

Oh no! Luann has developed a bad case of comedyitis and can’t stop!

No wonder Piro is always so sullen; his sense of humor is as lame as Luann’s!

Luann stop it

Do not quit your day job Luann, even if it is just a few hours a week tutoring middle school students who will develop a crush on you or Pitt High jocks who will plagiarize your work and beat you with it in a contest.

she’s either really goofy today or is trying too hard… :\

Luann needs to carry a rimshot recording with her at all times. But seriously, does anyone really appreciate non-stop one liners? It’s childish and annoying. She did get the half-wit part right though. Glad to see she acknowledges her shortcomings.

Luann’s really on a roll, today.

One of the secrets of being a great class clown (I was one four years straight) is to know when to quit.

Why do they have to take the same class over again?

Luann’s reminding me of Fozzie Bear with the corny jokes. “Waka Waka!” For real though, I hope Luann keeps it up with the worn-out puns that way Mrs. Horner can get fed up enough to deliver a punchline before Lu can. Then Mrs. Horner can say, “Give it a rest, dear, your material’s older than ME!” to which the class will have a laugh at Luann’s expense.

Then Luann could try to elevate her humor by doing crazy pranks and the whole writing class lesson plan gets derailed. The cherry on top would be Piro admitting he doesn’t even like comedy he just was trying to be nice.

That’s good comedy, right there. Save your complaints.

This is such a long set up between Luann (and don’t forget repressed Bernice) and Walt/Piro as to which one will be his paramour, or he her (their) paramour as well. I think Walt and Luann anre made for each other, but what GnK see is another thing.

Piro really thought that was funny?

A comedy last year, time for a tragedy this year.

My kinda’ gal!XD

Luann will be here all week.

In Panel 2, is Luann calling herself a half-wit?

As usual Luann is pushing things too far. She and Piro are gonna get in trouble—-she for wisecracking and him for laughing.

I’d tell Luann not to quit her day job, but I think she already got fired from it.

It’s always so sad to see a woman who is trying too hard. Try being a little bit reserved, confident and thoughtful Luann. Men don’t want a loud, yammering jokester, they prefer a woman who isn’t blatantly advertising themselves to the world, or making a loud-mouth fool of themselves in public. No one wants to date an embarrassing girl.

Just remember not to overdo it.

Enjoying this … humor not a drama day!

You would NOT believe how many times I heard that from my classes … never gets old (yes, it does)

Last place I expected Dad jokes today.

I can’t speak for Piro, but it made me laugh.

Reel it in, Luann, you’re starting to go overboard.

Eyeroll! This is pathetic behavior. :-/

Tomorrow, Luann brings in a drummer with a snare drum to give RIM SHOTS.

Something impulsive….something repulsive…something familiar…something peculiar…something for everyone! It;s comedy tonight!

Luann tries to channel Richard Pryor but instead goes full Fozzie Bear.

All I can see is that now one has teeth , even when they smile, what’s that about? How come Luann does not put on lipstick.

Luann is a half wit.

Trying to hard Luann.

Adorable Luann!

If you say “Please take your seats …” and immediately follow with

" … and sit in them.",

that usually kills the “Where should we take them?” response.

Did I just stumble into Bazooka Joe by mistake?

Luann trying to be funny and charm Piro, but it’s just disrespectful to Mrs. Horner. Good Lord, are these kids going to grow up?

Luann is apparently in the Manic Phase of her Bipolar Disorder….
