Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 05, 2024

Here we go.. 1 MONTH of Shannon.. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! ;)

So which other comic should we check out this month?? lol

I don’t think I can handle ice cream anytime before 7:30 PM.

I’d leave the gun out with the safety off. Either she would shot herself and end our misery or shot me and at least end my misery.

See you in September.

The brat actually said please. I’m impressed.

Shannon should be old enough by now to handle ice cream on a stick. She may learn quickly if she doesn’t get a replacement.

She. Said. Please.

Google tells me that Kyorin University in Tokyo did a study that found ice cream for breakfast can improve alertness, relieve stress and boost mental performance – but it needs to be low sugar and you can’t do it every day. Ice cream on waffles can be good…

She waffled her answer.

My 6 yr old granddaughter insists on holding a bowl to catch anything that drops!

Brad’s dream: popcorned pizza pancake with melted ice cream dip (for breakfast) except this time Brad isn’t having fun.

‘What were th two waffles you had this morning?’

‘I put chocolate syrup on em an used em as frisbees for Puddles. He wolfed em down an last time I saw him he was throwin up on the couch..’

She needs to eat faster, talk less, and keep the stick vertical!

How about dumping the brat on your sister for the month, Brad? Just imagine if she had tagged along on Luann and Bernice’s romantic “excursion” last week!

I had pizza last week- and blew six months of dieting.

More adoption/Toni’s baby speculation.

Shannon didn’t say exactly where her ice cream fell… Probably on the carpet in the living room. Also notice that Brad and Toni do not have a dishwasher, it seems.

Waffles, ice cream, and pizza. Don’t they feed the kid any real food?

Now I understand. Shannon is a Hobbit!

Nice, I’m curious to see how they’re doing with Shannon full time. it’s weird that Brad gave the dessert to her right before lunch and I hope he doesn’t give her another ice cream. But, on the other hand, it’s a Very Good thing Shannon is asking saying “Please” and has stopped ordering with an angry expression like she used to do. She’s growing.

Second breakfast? Elevensies?

See you in September.

Waffles, ice cream, mini pizzas. Sounds like the only way my son would eat when he was that age. In fact, his four food groupswere: Bread/pasta, cheese, tomato sauce, and dessert. What he didn’t know was that I would blend all kinds of veggies into the sauces he held so dearly. Gotta get em in the picky eaters somehow.

It appears I lost my bet and owe someone a nickel. Bernice and Luann never went back to retrieve a forgotten/lost item to meet the guys back at their picnic spot. Please raise your hand if you took my bet. I know at least I owe someone a half-penny. Rats.

Welcome to raising your wife’s niece, day one. If this doesn’t help prepare you for raising one of your own, nothing will.

Brad and the brat. At least she said, “Please.”

IDK where this strip will go.. if anywhere. ALL of August?! :\ I am glad the previous silly one is done.

Alright, everybody it’s Shannon time! I thought about this and I want to make this arc fun so let’s make some bets! What do you think will happen:

-Shannon would get hurt during her stay, causing Jonah to rush home and actually care about his daughter?

-Toni and Brad will have to legally adopt Shannon because Jonah will finally go to the store in LA for that specialty milk?

-Toni finally gets pregnant after dealing with Shannon makes her swear off of children?

Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Couple of more weeks of this and Brad’s dream of a family will evaporate.

Surprised Shannon didn’t say the ice cream bar was breakfast dessert. Hmmm, that gives me an idea.

Looks like Shannon is gonna be living with Brad and Toni after all.

Random thought: I look forward to Shannon becoming school aged, marching off to pre-K, and deciding she wants a boyfriend just like Uncle Brad. Except she finds some mild-mannered kid and totally bosses him around, then wonders why he won’t talk to her.

Brad has always been a loser with a poor wardrobe, bad hair, and females that make him do whatever they want him to do.

Pizza for lunch, waffles for breakfast… Nice going.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You guys spoke her name…and there she is!!!

The could feed her healthier food and no desserts until after lunch. I’d make her clean up the ice cream mess .

Breaking Cat News is very cute.

when does this little person start school/???

How bad was the last arc where Shannon of all people is a breath of fresh air? At least she’s using the word “please” now.

A child’s reasoning doesn’t have to make sense and she is not the enemy, she is a child.

Mini pizzas?? Plural?? How many is he cooking for her?? How much food do they think a child that age needs before noon?? For someone who wants to be a dad, Brad is sure proving that he has no regard for Shannon’s health…or her teeth. Maybe her behavior problems are directly related to her diet.

And so it begins. How will this turn out. Well at least the 5 after midnight crowd has something to whine about! Fun days ahead!

Well, at least the Sunday strip should give us some relief.

Did you clean it up? Little twit.

And here we gooooo! Good luck Brad and Toni. And TJ, too.

Waffles without the chicken doesn’t count

I’m noticing a lot of silence from the previous arc’s “just let it play out; something’s bound to happen” crowd. Guess they don’t want to draw attention to the fact that Bernice and Luann ended up right back where they started yet again, nor to their own failed prediction that this time might be different. Maybe they’ll come back in a couple days claiming that this current arc is the one that will finally lead to Brad and Toni adoptiong Shannon full-time.

So waffles aren’t breakfast? I guess in her world they are more of a treat.

is he mixing the pizza dough himself??

Waffles and ice cream, it’s a thing.

Since WHEN does that brat use “please” for anything?

What makes G&K think Shannon is interesting? Also, why is Luann being written to make her look more and more like a ditz? More thought has to go into the writing.

This is not starting off well

Denise The Menace

One of the things I like about this strip is that, after raising 2 boys of my own and helping with 3 girls who legally belonged to friends but were often in my house, it’s very realistic in a generally positive and often surprising way. It’s great watching the develpment of a wide variety of characters, some of whom (Tiffany comes to mind at the very least) are turning out to be far better people than I ever would have imagined possible. Far from perfect, but….Having said that I am also frequently amazed at the comments, especially those that seem to be from people who don’t have a clue what raising children is or should be like. Not a big deal, just surprising. And a word for those who don’t like specific story lines. I would respectfully suggest you might consider doing the same thing I do under those circumstances. Like anything published, if you don’t like it, don’t read it. Some of us do enjoy it and if you don’t that’s your business, and possibly your loss.

Midnight snack.

Silly question Brad.

I have a question for the Evans it’s been a while since we saw Delta. Would like to see how she’s doing even for a weekend stop over.

I was so excited, just moved to Columbus Ohio and checked out their Sunday newspaper and they print the complete Luann comic with the title block!!! I wish I could post it here but no way to post images. I’ve always appreciated the title block for that extra humor to coincide with the strip and I’ve asked so many times through emailing Greg if they would include them (other comics do) but still no luck except for that brief run on classic Luann which once they turned black and white they stopped and then stopped the Sundays completely there!Anyway the newspaper is the Columbus dispatch if anyone is wanting to see them and also if there’s a way to find it. If anyone has another way to see the title blocks I would love to know so I can see the old comics

Shannon said “Please”

Amazing?

Shannon Digestive tract would be out wack by the end of the month.

Oh no. The Month of Shannon begins.

So Brad has a mess to clean up, somewhere in the house and he doesn’t ask where her ice cream fell???

SHANNON: Why is there an X on the wall calendar for each day since I’ve been here? And a big circle around the day that my dad is returning?

Shannon’s posture shows clearly that she knows she’s not going to get away with that one.

Cleanup Aisle Shannon

Look up the word self-centered and see a picture of Shannon’s face.

Well, she’s asking with a please, so she’s behaving better than before, there’s some good influence going on.
