Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 11, 2023

Wow! ‘Forget your fans and take care of your man’… Tiff is being a good friend and telling Bets what she needs to hear.

Bets was actually crying. The comments must have gotten even worse. The distressing thing is, it seems she cares more about her fans than she does about Gunther.

I’m sure she will now go inside and talk to Gunther… well, on Monday.

.

What will Gunther’s reaction be when he finally see Bets??

Best Advice!

I thought this was Sunday. Lost track of time. So Tiffany is doing damage control instead of Bets coming in to see what’s happening to Gunther. Where is Bets’ agency in this? Still too wedded to her social media? There is no way to fight a pile on like she’s got, leave and let it burn out, see to the other victim.

Social media ultimately ends up being mostly anti-social. Who knew?

Tiff to the rescue! Unexpected!

Finally! Someone is telling Bets to get the (censored) off of her bleeping website! Good on you, Tiff!

Stef smiling at her evil work. smdh

This is the first time I can remember Tiffany trying to help another woman with man trouble – telling her what her priorities should be (NOT her fans, but Gunther). I like the change for Tiffany – hope it lasts…

My beloved Tiffany rises to the occasion.

WHATAGURL!!

I always knew Tiffany wasn’t your stereotypical dumb blonde.

Tiffany is looking out for Bets and Gunther!

I really like the new Tiffany. She used to care about no one but herself, but now she is a true friend.

Tiff to the rescue!

Maybe Tiff’s advice about forgetting her fans for her man may take root in Bets and improve their relationship. Time for Bets to wake up and make a decision about what’s important in her life. The current direction at this pint points to a reconciliation and deepening of the Gun-Bets relationship.

Sure like Tiff’s “party doo”. Beats helmet head style.

Get your @$$ in there and talk to your guy.

good work tiff. Bets needs to stop letting her imagination run away with her and talk to gunther.

Still a couple days before the weekend denouement but this was a gratifying development. Yay Tiff!

Bets urgently needs professional help, and certainly not from Bernice. She is so obsessed with social media that it practically controls her life. And she needs people to support her in coming back to reality. Unfortunately, her beloved boyfriend, her Gojo Wakana, has so far been unable to even attempt to achieve this.

I like how Bets’ dumbstruck face in the last panel is like, “But, Tiff… You and I both know that my relationship with Gunther’s not my priority #1 here.” As if it weren’t obvious from, well, most of her recent priorities… but it’s still not exactly a great look having to be forced by someone else to put down the stinking phone and focus on the real life person she may or may not be dating.

would some one please put a boot on Steph’s behind?!?

she care about likes and fans then her relationship. Gunther ditch this sack of crap and move on.

Will Gun accept her back? That is the question.

Tiffany giving Bets some hard truths.

“Take care of your man!!” (I don’t think Evans saw the latest Barbie movie)

Tiff actually does have heart within that attractive chest.

The absolute best resolution of this whole relationship is for Bets to put Gunther first, where he really ia; she’s so addicted to rhe dope that is, it’s getting in the way of trie love. I mean she was crying, while working on “damage control.” Along comes Tiff to shock her into reality, reaching out to another person confused and in pain; this one of those times that the good development of Tiffany, what she really is capable of comes out. Bets needs to be only focused on Gun(ther) so he can man up and be Gunther!

Boo, hiss.

I was somewhat right. She didn’t run off. Tiff’s stepping up surprised me, but I love it! Bets crying shows she cares about Gunther. 10/10 in my opinion (even though I hate rating strips!) Expecting a great reunion on Monday.

Tiffany has more sense than I had given her credit for. (Apologies to the grammar nazis for ending the sentence with a preposition)

Ridiculous girl can’t function without being the center of attention or her fans

Well it seems Tiffany is coming to rescue Bets and Gunther once again but will it be a successful rescue? From my standpoint, it seems Bets is more upset about her fans than Gunther and Luann. The real issue here is whether Bets came to see Gunther to rescue her social media platform or her relationship with him? From the panels, it appears to be the former than the latter. I suppose Tiff will straighten her out.

I like it when Tiffany handles something well now and then. She tinkled her chimes to bring Gun & Bets closer together a while ago. Today a perfect line from Tiffany this time. I look forward to Tiffany becoming kinder, wiser and more successful as the Luann saga continues.

Good advice. But can Bets do it? Guess we’ll see, but I’m gonna go with no. Gunther was always just a prop to her, not a person she cared for.

Finally!!

Why have none of the characters read Stef the riot act yet?

Last panel, Great Advice, Tiffany.

One more comment: there are of Bets haters, which I don’t agree, but she’s accepted as a character, who hits some.commentators rhe overall Luann target market negatively. For rhat reason and . PROGRESS brothers and sisters. If.we can do that for , maybe there’s hope after all.

Wait. That’s a Tammy song . .

Stef knew exactly what she did! Look at Stef’s face in the first panel!

Th one in the van is th one Tiff shuld be takin the phone from not her party guests

I like that Tiffany went out to give her advice to Bets in person instead of over the phone.

Finally SOMEONE said it.

Betts only cares about herself and her followers. Not Gunther. Dump her.

Once again, Tiffany to the rescue.

I wonder how many MORE times Tiff is going to bother to “save” Bets and Gun’s “relationship?”

I guess the “good news” is Bets doesn’t suspect Gun of “cheating.”

The “bad news” is Bets is still hung up on social media.

Oh, and Bets?

Next week? PUNCH Stef, NOT Luann. ;-)

I looooove Tiffany!

Sometimes, SOMETIMES, Tiff is a good friend.

I said this a few days ago, drop the social live stream and followers Bets and live in real time.

Fantastic Tiffany, atta girl! When her friend is crying fallen prey to desperation and don’t knows what to do, she goes to get her and reminding her about the really important things. Bets really needed someone able to drag her to the reality, tearing her away from her falling virtual world. Dunno if this situation with the fans has put an end to Bets’ career. But even for this possibility, it’s better that she and Gunther meet ASAP! Meanwhile, it’s impossible not to notice that Stef is the only one smiling with satisfaction while looking at the phone… the monster.

Oh come on people, fans are tearing Gunther (and Luann) apart (with the occasional “suits you right Bets”), Bets tried to make this calm down before Gunther sees it, she is ofc failing and is in shock, yadda-yadda, this has been unfolding the entire week.

MAY I SHIFT YOUR FOCUS PLEASE? Look at the first panel – everyone is in shock, apart from Stef who is smiling wide!

Stef certainly looks to be quite pleased with herself.

“Forget your fans! Take care of your man! So get out of your van! And make a plan, Stan! Or sail away to Japan, on a san-pan!”

Yes!!! Tiff to the rescue!!! And to confront that “Wicked Witch of the East” called Stef. Oh Yes, this gonna be good next week. A battle royale. It will be fun to see who’s gonna finally throw water on the Witch so she gets what’s coming to her at last. Gun should be all revved up on Stef as well….burn baby burn…

Will Bets punch Stef’s lights out, fplks? Tune in Monday—same time, same strip.

Bets still hasn’t checked in to the party, so we will continue next week, while Bets ponders over Tiffany’s advice.

BTW, what does “Mommie Dearest” think of her “baby’s” relationship with Luann?

Stef is looking very… satisfied with herself, wouldn’t you say?

That’s what I enjoy about Bets-n-Gun. These totally crazy experiences. Keeps things lively and fun to see the insane adventures they end up in. I hope they appear at more Comic-Cons and see more of Guns creativity.

Nice of Tiff to go outside and open the van door..

First thing they do is throw Stef out on her bony butt and tell her the friendship is over. She’s toxic.

Way to go Tiff! You are a good friend. :)

Now THAT’S a Wingwoman!

oh, good. she’s stepping out to get her inside. :J

I’m liking Tiffany more and more and I never thought I’d say that.

Tiff with the sagest of advice for young women everywhere, in the final panel. It’s a 2-way street, too.

We are sure parents are paying for college for most of these kids and the Fuse jobs are mostly for play money. But we don’t know Bets back story and her social media site may be her only income. In other words her family can’t afford to support her or pay for school and she can’t afford to lose too many followers on her site which would lower her income.

On a different note: does anyone know what kind of doll Ox has dressed up as?

Alright, Tiff! Thinking of someone else instead of yourself. You deserve a round of applause. :) Plus, Stef needed to be taken down a notch or two after the way she posted that pic online.

Then take care of Steph.

ER Dr. – How did that cell phone get in there?Steph – I took a picture of two people and posted on social media with a bunch of lies.ER Dr. – We’ll take some pictures of the extraction and post them on social media with a caption of what can happen when you cross the line with lies.

Tiffany busting through the negative inertia and helping Betts ràlly. My question is, why didn’t Gunther run out to the van and straighten things out? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Oh good Lord Bets. The heck with the fans, go find out what is happening with Gunther —that is IF you care more about him than your obviously blood thirsty “fans”.

Catharsis!

Best strip of the day.

Great advice, Tiff!

Is Tiffany the “fat Barbie?”

You nailed it- seems to care about her influencer status more than her actual relationship.

Here we stand

Worlds apart hearts broken in two

Finally! Someone with common sense!

Yes, wisdom from Tiff. Personally, I think Bets’ followers would just love any action she streams on this occasion, no matter how it turns out for Bets and Gunther – more drama for them. Get in there, Bets.

Gunther is not in any frame?

go Tiff!

So what exactly is Bet’s crime that made everyone hate her? The fact that she wanted to travel alone and build her career? Is everyone a misogynist today?

And there it is. The full Bets personality change I predicted. We are supposed to believe she has never had any negative comments, breaks down in tears at the slightest insult, and wants to sit in her van caring more about what total strangers say instead of going inside to see her boyfriend (that she hasn’t spoken to in weeks).

She needs to get out of the internet influencer profession. Her new personality isn’t tough enough to handle it like she did in the past.

I think Steff is using this as an opportunity to hi-jack some of Bett’s followers. Look at her smile in the 1st panel compared to the expression of the others like Les & Dez. She’s an Anne Eifel in the making…and who would want that thing for a roommate??? Despicable (⁠☞⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞

Wow! WHat developments. And, I’m not talking about the Luann/Gunther/Betts one. Yesterday Les, was actually right in an comment her made, and, today, TIFFANY seems to be giving Betts good advice. Who’d a thunk it?

Steph seems pretty proud of herself. Will this make Kip see how she really is?

Tiff is on target with her advice in this situation, but I wish she weren’t working so hard to keep a dysfunctional relationship going. She’s doing it with all the right intentions but man, Bets is still just way too immature for an actual relationship.

Can you imagine Tiffany in her high school years being this considerate?

Come on Evans, Halloween was two weeks ago. Wrap it up and move on. You should have run this earlier so the conclusion was closer to the date.

Ah, I was wondering if, even without the Pagoda of Peace, Tiffany would help fix this. I like this a lot. And I’d like Tiff to keep this hairdo. It suits her better now. Will we see the reunion next week or onto another arc? Bernice is missing as are Jack, Nil and Tara. ?

TIFF is not as ditzy as people say. She said what Bets needed to hear, as any true friend would.

I surprised Tiff cares enough to give good advice rather than doing only what’s good for me.

Consider: Bets and her relationship with her fans, and GnK and Karen’s relationship with the Luann fans. The character Bets’ reaction to the fans comments, and possibly Karen’s reactions to fans comments on this arc.

People getting on Bets but there are two things people forget about her: 1) Unlike the grand majority of people who have thick skin and don’t care what others think, Bets has a crippling inferiority complex and trust issues. Yes, she loves Gunther, but her vlog makes her feel worthwhile and worth IT. Because people in her past treated her like she wasn’t. Empathy goes a long way, people, and it really feels like this is a trait people are losing. Scary. 2) It’s her source of revenue. It literally is her job. Maybe not a REAL job to some folks, but the way I see it is if she can put food in her stomach and pay the bills, it’s a job. And one she really enjoys doing, which is more than most here can say. I’m almost 40 years old, but it’s kinda scary how people in my age group are already acting like that bitter grandpa nostalgic for the 80’s and 90’s.

Need to see Bets walk in and knock out Stef.

Go Tiff!

Tiff being the best friend and wingman for Bets? An unexpected yet pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, we have to wait until Monday see if this arc continues.

Ah HO, Count and Ann❤️Eiffel ❤️ers … Join The❤️Count, Countess, Lulu the Wonder Cat and, of course, Patriotic Ann❤️Eiffel and The ❤️ly ❤️Eiffelettes in Honoring Our Brave Veterans and also Celebrating yesterday’s 184th Birthday of The United States Marine Corps.

I believe the next mass extinction event will be a result of people not knowing how to function without social media and smart devices.

“Take care of your man??” Really? ;-l

Good for you Tiffany! Bets needs to start living in the real world instead of seeking praise from the social media world.

Tiff’s right Bets, Gunther should be more important than a bunch of anonymous fans.

So Bets isn’t worried about Gun being with Luann: she’s worried about her Internet image.

That’s like her, I guess.

Bets could just delete the photo and all the comments on it. She had to have encountered negative comments many times before on her blog. Why is she suddenly so thin skinned about it? This doesn’t make sense.

Tiff has grown up and developed a conscience

Sound advice. I see make up kisses coming

Tiff is a true friend Betts go get him Now

“Forget your fans” is probably the best advice Bets has ever received, and the only way to make this relationship work. Question is, will she listen to it?

’Here Tiff comes to save the day…"

DUMP THE PHONE!

I think I figured it. Mind you, I don’t know this for certain but this is not a farewell to Luann. It’s not a farewell to Bets. It’s not Luann and Gunther getting together. It’s a farewell to Gunther. I think his character is about to depart from the cast. Absolutely no proof of this just a theory I have…..

Duh!

This must be quite an exciting party, since everyone (including TJ of all people) are hunched over their phones watching reactions roll in for a single photo of two people who are there at that very same party.

So I guess it’s pretty obvious by this point that the whole parasailing thing has been dumped down the memory hole if the Gunther/Luann photo is being promoted as the thrill of the century.

Why do I hear third panel Tiffany shouting in a southern civil war accent? You tell her Scarlet Barbie!

Wow! You go Tiff!

Tiffany is still the only one at the party who knows Bets is outside. If Gunther knew she was there, he would go outside to greet her.

Well, what do you know? Best strip in months! Way to go Tiff, listen to her Bets!

I’m wanting to think that ‘damage…’ and ‘damage control’ could be broadly interpreted i.e. damage to her relationship with Gun as well as damage to her vlogging business (built around her relationship w/ G), just damage all over. Now she may have to choose one over the other; will it be the right one? It’s hard to know, hopefully Tiff can work her magic like she did in the pagoda.

Awwwe. Bets is getting a lesson in priorities from Tiffany (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ that is so sweet!

I need a few friends like that..

Tiffany to the rescue! Good kid!

Monday will be another arc, or an offer to buy a book to read all about it…

He’s probably rage-drinking 7up.

I like Tiff’s ‘in-person’ approach.

I think this is one of the best strips I’ve ever seen in this comic.

I hope Kip ends up in bed with Tiffany.

WOW, Tiffany. Way to go OUT there and talk to Bets in person.

The social media thing is Bet’s source of income, and apparently quite lucrative. It seems like Gunther is just a prop.

Best thing Bets can do is tell her followers the truth. Gun is at a party with friends and someone decided to be a troublemaker….that would settle their hash

Smartest thing that Tiff has ever said.

It may not happen often, but here Tiff shows her good sense and inner mensch.

They need to have a group beating, and use Stef as the punching bag

whatever happens it will take a week to do it

again tiffany seems to be the smartest young person in this strip and you could argue most compassionate also

Once again, isn’t “Gun’s New Gal” his mother in her Hallowe’en costume?

We’ll find out if Bets has the sense God gave a goose, or is too self-absorbed to realize what she’s about to lose.

Yes, please. Go get him.

Rescue is at hand. Reunion to follow. Restoration of romance… we will see.

It would be great if this would be thing that shows Bets being involved in your own life is more important than a bunch of internet strangers being involved in it.

So, this is what Tiffany had planned. She wants LuAnn to get smacked.

Tiff has changed a lot!! : -) <3

The fact that she needed Tiff to tell her that does not say good things about Bets.

Tiff, in her short, silly pink Barbie dress dashes out to save the day for Bets. The Love Advice Goddess actually has the only path that might save the day for a Gun and Bets romance. Luann will be, as ever, unwilling to take a stand about anything having to do with romance, and Gunny is at heart still smitten with Bets.

Prognosis: Gunther and Bets, likely continuing. Gunther and Luann, once again a non-starter, at least for now. Tiffany, still too chubby, but taking on a new and friendlier persona (much of the time)….

I like to see that Tifanny has grown up inside, giving the right advice, very good for her, let’s hope that Bets knows how to listen and apply it, (which I doubt).

Going “Cold Turkey” is hard especially social media?

WRONG ANSWER TIFF.

Woody’s boots are NOT white!

Just another example of why people can’t trust social media. Good job Greg.

yep

Oh, look. There’s Stef, and she’s clearly pleased with her work.

I am so proud of Tiffany right now. She wasted no time going straight to Bets and giving her the best advice to give in a situation like this.

Why should it be so difficult for two people who have known each other for years to go to a party together without becoming the next Romeo & Juliet?

Amazing… One picture on social media can really ruin a party.

Somebody FINALLY said it.

You disappoint me, Tiffany….

So, Tiffany is doing a good thing. Stef is the bad egg.

Stand by your man.Except when he’s jaywalking
