Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 04, 2024

So the lesson is… Butterflies don’t taste good?? ;)

Butterflies aren’t what they used to be.

All that flutters isn’t a doggie treat.

Be careful what you wish for … you might get it.

These two look much nicer today than this past week.

Butterflies don’t taste like chicken…

Puddles sez this cartoon’s got bad taste

Chase the car, whether you know what to do with it or not.

It is true that sometimes OWNING something is not as exciting as dreaming about owning it. Somehow some magic is lost once you can touch it. Weird, but it has happened to me. What seemed so special suddenly isn’t so special. Can’t explain it.

Yes, there is, be careful what you ask for. You just might get it.

Maybe Puddles thought it was a PEANUT butterfly!

Sometimes the greatest joy lies in the chase.

Sometimes getting what you wanted isn’t what you really wanted.

I was out in th shop sharpenin some of my knives an I got to wondering. Since there are serial killers are there parallel killers?

Never eat anything that flutters around in your head.

Not the best idea

What a cute Sunday page! Puddles charging up and jumping like a cat is so cute. The butterfly was lucky to have almost suffocated him, but poor pup. This might become my favorite Sunday with Puddles.

Lesson: the fun is in the pursuit.

Yeah, don’t eat insects if you’re a carnivore.

My dog wants to do the same thing with bumblebees, but I don’t let her. Respect the pollinator!

That was my pup yesterday, the butterfly got away! Yay!

The life lesson is a lot of butterflies are actually poisonous!

Better Puddles catching a butterfly than a toad.

HORK!

The butterfly is symbolic of Ugandan Giant presidency. And ref today’s Pearls Before Swine for a preview. God Save America

Butterflies can take care of themselves … by tasting bad!

My dog snaps at bees and caught one once. Her mouth swelled up and she couldn’t eat for a day. Talk about a sad faced dog.

“Beware of finding what you’re looking for." (Richard Hamming)

Well, Pud, NOW you know why “Butterflies are Free.”

Because they taste BAD.

Besides, cats are Tastier. :-)

[DUCKS]

Bernice feels that it is better to observe life than to actually live it.

Hate me for saying and repeating it, but when will that Ph.D. come along and carry off Bernice? He’s the only solution I can see for her to for a boyfriend. Classical Greek or AI Engineer, He’d fit?

“Not everything that’s beautiful tastes good”. That’ll be $80.

Bern is right. That’s a metaphor that doesn’t sink in with those who haven’t yet experienced it. But it’s a much different story for those who have.

Nice to see Puddles get top billing for the day.

BewareBeauty can be toxic.

Puddles prefers margarine to butter with no transfat.

This comic could’ve been a bit funnier with a “Hawk Tuah” sound coming from Puddles.

Luann should appear in this comic more often. But this time I want to see her find a new boyfriend. Ooh, and I want to see her make some new friends and ditch Bernice once and for all!

And while you’re at it Greg, I want Bernice out of the strip!

“Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical but often true.” – Spock (Amok Time, Star Trek)

“Dog and Butterfly” written by the Wilson sisters after Nancy saw her dog trying to play with a butterfly.

“The chase is better than the capture!”

Now he’ll think anything blue tastes bad

Looks like Greg has been listening to some classic Heart….“see the dog and butterfly”. The events in the comic are exactly the experience that inspired Ann Wilson to write the song. Hoping Ann recovers soon….

Our cats would always catch and eat moths and lizards… and would then promptly barf. Other critters agreed with their tummies better.

Anyone think in the recent arc the girls should have brought Puddles with them?

The mind reels with metaphoric interpretensions!

“Zo, in zis shtrip Puddles reprezentz ze readerz of zis cartoon und ze butterfly reprezentz ein arc mit Luann as ze zentral karakter…”

That butterfly is lucky it didn’t taste good.

Don’t eat butterflies?

Why is Puddles off leash? Looks like they are in a public park.

Taste means everything!

Yes, I will certainly remember this next time I am about to eat a butterfly.

I must admit….I have had the same verbal and entirely involuntary reaction with brussels sprouts. I think I’d rather take my chances with the butterfly.

Maybe it is, you want it you want it you want it, and then you get it and find out what you wanted and got, wasn’t so great.

Great strip today! Love the facial expressions on Puddles.

Must be a fan of the group “Heart.”

Those wings are ticklish.

Whatever you’re obsessed with, stop and think about it — and then get a second and third opinion.

The girls look nice today—-both look very fashionable.

yeah , and the lesson is dogs are dumb ! ;-)

That delicate butterfly is still alive??

Mark Twain said: "A cat who sits on a hot stove will never sit on a hot stove again.“She will also never sit on a cold one.”

Good old Sour Sam.
