Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 26, 2024

I’ve heard them called post-it notes, and I’ve heard them called sticky notes, but I’ve never heard them called postie notes. Does anybody call them stick-it notes? I feel like this whole thing’s a sticky wicket. Stick it, Wicky!

I keep pairs of OTC cheaters in each car and two pair in my flight bag. Also, I can’t hang onto a sharpie to save my life. On the upside, Sharpei’s are easy to hang onto, because of the loose skin. Don’t mind me, I’m just silly.

Frank was right.

Frank is right.

Problem solved.

Also, with duct tape, all problems solved.

Until I had cataract surgery I needed glasses every waking of the day. I always knew exactly where they were – - on my nose. Since surgery I don’t NEED glasses but I prefer them for driving and occasionally reading, but even them I always put them in the same place so I know where they are. If Nancy can’t remember where she put them, sounds like dementia.

Are we looking for glasses or the ark of the covenant?

Paper towels and post-it notes are sold in bulk, y’know!

We gave my mother a giant pack of phone chargers for Christmas and she couldn’t find one the last time we were over. My husband went on a hunt and retrieved five from various locations. You would think at least one end would be stuck to some source of electricity but no. One was in the sock drawer.

This was a nice strip…the whole family getting along and a relatable topic with a funny ending. (We all know where the snacks are, though.)

I’ve just bought my sister a glasses holder in the shape of an owl (she likes owls) a couple of those around the house helps a lot. Plus I put my glasses in the sink when I shower. Otherwise it’s a case of needing glasses to find my glasses…..

Ah, the joys of being a newbie with reading glasses. Wait until you walk all over the house looking for them, Nancy, and then discover they’re on top of your head.

Man tomorrow, I’m gonna go out an buy a coupla spare cars, a few spare tractors, a few spare lawnmowers, some lawn edge trimmers, an a couple of spare sickle bars. Mebbe even a spare pole barn or two. But no spare wives. One’s enough an I dont wanna get beat up by the one I allready got

What kind of glasses do you need Nancy? Readers or something with a prescription?

You gotta get the granny glasses necklace. I’ve trying to talk my wife into one for years because she keeps losing hers. Despite having so many pairs! But she doesn’t want to look like a granny….

Readers? (I can’t read without them)A pair in my shirt pocket, at the computer, next to the bed, in the glove box of the car (spare) and a couple of spares in the bed room and another in my travel bag.

Since when does Nancy wear glasses?

“Postie notes” sounds so fake. I know they wanna avoid mentioning brand names, but this feels like when people in TV shows go on “FaceSpace” and do a “Dooglesearch”.

Oh fer Pete’s Sake, Nancy!

The World’s going to Hell-o in a hand-basket and YOU are “worried” about…….,

(Sigh) Okay, I’ll fix this: “Rock, Paper, Scissors.”

There. Get a bunch of rocks and call it a day. It’ll be cheaper.

Besides. Have you looked up the cost of eyeglasses lately?? ;-)

I’ve got those readers all over the house

I have reading glasses all over the house. Because they’re really cheap, and I only need them when I’m reading.

I keep scissors all over the house, but when I need a pair, can I find them? Noooo.

Maybe try Lasik?

Don’t forget mini flashlights. And no matter what it is, they all end up in the same place and you can’t find it when you need it.

Before reading the text, who else thought she was holding a home pregnancy test?

My prescription bifocals are only used in the den where the TV is. The rest of the house has cheap readers. I do have some extra powerful readers just for choir.

Wait till she gets to the store and sees how much all that stuff will cost!

Many is best.

I bought rolls of scotch tape and pairs of scissors and put them in every drawer in our house.

I have reading glasses stashed everywhere. Multiple places in the house. A pair in every car, I even have a pair stashed in the pulpit at church.

I have two pairs of glasses, one I use and a spare in my van. The one I use is either on my desk, on the night stand or on me. My wife has about a dozen pairs of cheap reading glasses.

Excuse me, no man forgets where the roll of duck tape is, his number one repair tool. Unless Frank is out.

My glasses are always on my nose, but we do have Scotch Tape and scissors in practically every room.

yeah, charger cables!!

I keep a flashlight and step ladder on each level.

I have the same problem with phone charger cables

You have one specific place where each item is located and you start out when you move to a new house with all of them in that place. Then, when you need one somewhere else you either

1] return it to that place

2} realize that you will be using it in the spot where you took it pretty often, so leave it there.3] When the stock pile in the assigned location runs out of items, buy more and put them there

..and box cutters. We have 3 box-cutters strategically placed to open up boxes..

Add “Post-It Notes” to the name brands that some cartoonists think need to be replaced with a more generic-sounding name out of fear of trademark infringement. Somebody needs to post this on Facegram.

I do have a pair of readers in just about every room in the house and both cars.

They are pretty much describing every elderly introverts nest

Of course…snacks!

Unfortunately, this means you won’t be able to find any pair of glasses because they’re covered up by the scissors, paper towels, etc…

If the lenses of the glasses I use didn’t cost what they cost, I would like to have many glasses placed where I need. It’s always fun to see things starting piling up and become a shopping list, maybe they should all go to the supermarket together. They would return with the car full of stuff.

i have drugstore reading glasses. i have them everywhere.

the only thing i carry around from place to place is my cellphone and glucometer. i very seldom use my glucometer since i have a cgm, but i have it with me if i need to use it.

If Nancy has prescription glasses the price of buying multiple pairs would answer her question. Once I started wearing progressive lenses I couldn’t even afford a second pair or prescription sunglasses.

I rarely use pencils or post it notes. I would not need them in multiple places around the house.

Multiple readers are convenient.

Snacks. Well, of COURSE.

I love it. So relatable.

Frank’s dialogue in panel one is just WEIRD. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Has Frank developed dimentia? According to him, with a “many pairs of glasses” plan, they are going to need scissors, paper towels, pencils and post its. I don’t get it. I don’t see the connection. It’s stupid.

im sure luann fans think trumpf is a good businessman

Luann plans well.

Our house is in a “U” shape, so we have all the essentials at both ends.

I try to leave things like wallets, keys, eyeglasses, etc. in certain places to know where to find them. Of course, that plan only works when they are consistently put in their designated location! Putting them anywhere else results in a frantic search, even if they are plainly visible. ;-p

“Rock, Paper (Towels), Scissors”

“Head Of The Glass(es)”

“Pencil It In”

“Pillar To Postie”

“Remember Where…”

“Duct The Issue”

“Tale Of The Tape”

“Charger Account”

Today’s omitted title panel:

Greg has drawn what seems to be a 1950s-look “clip art” of a man and a woman in a roadster (the woman is driving). The man says “Is this a brand-new LUANN by Greg Evans?” and the woman answers “Yup”.

How many phone chargers do you need laying around the house unless somehow they keep losing them

Fortunately I keep my glasses right where I see them at all times. On my nose.

When the doctors hospitalized my grandfather for respiratory issues + Primatene Mist addiction my uncle found about a dozen bottles stashed in various locations throughout the house.

This is indeed my strategy.

Also, make sure your glasses are all identical; otherwise you will have trouble deciding which pair to wear.

Don’t forget Teflon plumbers tape, too.

I hate to tell you this, but the “many where I need them” doesn’t work either. My mom has several pairs of reading glasses so she can put them in several places. There are two scenarios that ALWAYS happens. Either all the glasses end up in the car or in her bedroom. So when she’s home, she has to go outside to the car to get a pair. And when she’s out, the glasses are on her bed and she can’t read anything.

This is me and albuterol inhalers. :-D

Wear the glasses on a loop around y our neck.
