My turn? OK. Ahem…This is the worst EVER! Stop it now! I can’t read this eny more like I’ve done for the last ten days! Gimme back Greg and his stick figure art!
No place better for schoolwork that writing on a box of onions, I say. I used a rutabaga box when I was growing up, but I suspect onions are pretty good too.
I dislike this horrible, messy, grinning, chaotic family so much…and this strip is probably supposed to be propagandizing in favor of anything-goes parenting.
I fear this BS will continue into next week. And I always believed God was loving and merciful! It’s no wonder that so many people are becoming agnostics!
What everyone else said and a hundred times more – BARF, BARF, and more BARF! STOOOPPP!!! What have you done with “Luann?” The only thing worse than this was the same basic thing with Bets and Ann Awful whom I hated was better than all of this.
I kind of like(d) it, in a weird way, because it is soooooooo over the top – however I agree that it’s really enough now, we’ll all appreciate the return to normality lol as with most jokes and comedies – one week/season/book is great, two is often meh, three is… don’t get me started on Star Wars Epsiode IX lol.
This is such a strange arc. I get that the artists wanted to take a break, but to show that Brad and Toni have NO realistic expectations about being parents is actually pretty damaging to their characters. Both of them seem completely delusional. Meanwhile, Shannon is running riot and they haven’t discussed Jonah leaving her with them for a month.
Yeah, with due respect to the artist and his efforts, this isn’t Luann. Are the Evans on vacation? That’s certainly a good thing. Enjoy yourselves, but hurry back, lol.
Bad enough that Luann, like most comics, follows the old “joke for the week” format, but this one is just ultra-tedious. It was cute the first time, but just boring now. It’s become embarrassing and a bit sad.
The Sheer CONSTERNATION and hair pulling among My beloved fellow Lunatics has been HIGHLY Entertaining.
It couldn’t have been any better if G&K’s next arc had Gunther announcing he was going “Save America” by running for President of the United States, and ended up actually WINNING!
Even I, who rarely leaves a comment, is taking the time to beg that this stops. Who ever thought a “perfect” Shannon would be so much more annoying than bratty Shannon?
These story lines have been awful. Nothing at all like the real B&T. It’s like a bad dream and I keep hoping I’ll wake up to the real Luann strip. Nothing against the art itself, but did you really have to go this off-course?
Their smiles are so big its making my cheeks hurt! It’s certainly interesting to see a different artist’s interpretation of the characters. With an imaginary story line like this, they can go all out on it.
HEY…. what Brad did just now (in his fantasy) shows that can really be a good Dad. You can ask a kid (or anyone for that matter) time and time again to do their homework but sometimes it’s about creating the right environment for study… with feng shui. Now Shannon is excited to work because the feng shui is right for her; Brad had the sense of that.
The arc as a dream sequence of Brad (or more likely, Toni) trying to delude themselves into an idea that they’d raise a super-responsible kid that could do no wrong, just to have that shattered as the dream spirals into a nightmare is amusing in concept.
That being said, enough!
What we really need is Toni and Brad realizing kids will always be messy, that the chaos isn’t avoidable or a reason to reject having kids. Also, a long overdue talk with Luann and Toni, where Luann finally gets a sense of direction after saving Mrs Horner is much desired.
The last 2 weeks have been different. But still not as bad as any story with Bernice or Stef. I prefer seeing these pretty well behaved, imaginary kids over Bernice.
This strip has made me realize why God created badness as well as goodness. What a horrible boring useless world this would be if everyone behaved like this! UGH!
Everyone hates this but we keep leaving more comments than the regular strip gets so I suggest stop leaving any comments at all to show our disgust-myself included of course.
I think I’m missing something here. It’s like I’m in an alternate universe that’s making absolutely NO sense! I’m with Miles. I don’t like it! Make it go away!
This is ALMOST as bad as the terrible take over in Alley Oop a few years back when the original team retired. PLEASE…either let the Luann team just peacefully go away or end this nightmare and let Brad wake up. I want to scream!
Thanks again for another funny, well-drawn strip! This dream arc of “OUR children will be perfect” has been fun. Please accept my apologies for the embarrassing commenters above. I’m so ashamed of them, and I’m sure their mothers would be, too.
Here’s a tip: On average, people are averse to change. As a guest artist, if you’re already going with a different art style for a familiar comic, maybe don’t completely change the characters, add new characters, and then run the same joke that “Haha, the strip is different” every single day for a week.
Luann is one of those strips that people follow along for years and years because we know and like the characters. These new, labored artsy-cartoonsy drawings are about as welcome as eggshells in an omelet. May we hope that this excursion is nearly over and that the “real” cast will return soon?
You know who couldn’t adapt to change? Dinosaurs. The fabulously talented guest artist is only here for a couple weeks, yet actual grown-ups are whining like a kid stepped foot on their lawn and now they feel they have to replace the entire lawn.
Luckily for the grumps, G&K will be back soon, so the grumps can continue grumping at G&K, as normal. Sheesh, what a bunch of whiners! So embarrassing! Y’all are lessons on why social media is an abject failure.
If they were doing fantasy anyway, then why not bring back Aaron Hill, Delta, Knute and Krystal? Luann could have imagined how Aaron and/or Delta were doing.
This is so incredibly STUPID. We see that the slave child is now expected to do her homework, but does she get to sit at the kitchen table like a normal kid? No. She sits in a roughshod “tent” with no lamp, using an onion box for a desk and pillows for a chair. And who buys onions by the box anyway? I hope this guy Jay didn’t quit his day job, because NOBODY is ever going to follow his cartoons.
How much longer is this going to last? It was fine for a (very) little while, but this is crazy. If this is still going on next week, I’m dumping Luann.
