Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 01, 2024

Well!

As I hoped yesterday, Tiffany DID give Stef a smirk! And whole lot MORE!

What’s your “problem” Steffie-Po?

Tiff just indicated that YOU are Number One!

Now to sit back, relax, and enjoy the indignant “Well that’s not ladylike!” complaints. ;-)

For some reason I’m reminded of the movie “Death Becomes Her” in that the two feuding women end up killing themselves, but can’t die and are forced to live together with lots pf spackle and body paint.

Stef’s number one!

Read between the lines!

She went there!

Well, that’s mature. No cat fight. Just an accusation and a signal. Betcha Kip reminds Stef of her overactive suspicions of Tiff’s interest while he stayed in the guesthouse at the Farrell Mansion and yet nothing happened, and she was STILL suspicious and he’s tired of it. He already proved he wasn’t going to do anything and Tiff proved by staying away. What more does she want? Of course she wants Tiff to go away. Vanish. If you are clever, Stef, you’d introduce her to another guy.

CAT FIGHT!!! ;)

One picture’s worth a thousand words.

Tif seems to have gotten her finger stuck in some sort of tube.

‘Here Stef, right behind door #1 is th deal..’

Oh boy, the plot sickens—er, thickens! This is not too unlike how Tiff & Company got rid of Ann Eiffel—a picture (or in that case, a lying sonogram).

Hey, Stef! Tiffany’s telling you that you’re number one!!

A most excellent response!

How did Tif get a black rectangle stuck on her fist? Is it a Monolith? Is it full of stars? Is a interdimensional portal about to open up? Or is Stef going to say..“I’m sorry Tif, I’m afraid I can’t do that”..?

Okay, that was cool.

“Is that your age or your IQ?” Still hoping for a cat fight,

Maybe it’s time for Stef’s light bulb to come on. An ounce of maturity might make Stef a little more interesting

Good grief!! Did G&K have to censor Tiffany’s finger? What did that accomplish? Do they REALLY think the readers would be offended?!

Wow!!!

Censored gesture? Wait for Saturday?

A bird for Ms. Bird. Almost poetic.

Did Tiffany just declare war? You go for it, Girl!

Ha haaaàaaà !! Go Tiff (⁠☞⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠☞(⁠☞⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠☞

I can’t tell. The black box in front of your middle finger is in the way.

Oh, my! Good for you, Tiff—now the best thing to do is turn around and leave while Steffi’s little brain processes that gesture!

she switched to Mongolian for the last word, cant show the written it is a vertical language

Why Tiffany holding a Black Box?

O_O

Nicely said, Tiff.

Nicely said :-))

“Enormously” was that a fat joke?

Sometimes ya just gotta do it!

Tiffany is smiling and said Shoog in the last panel. One day left this week! What will happen?

Now, if they really wanna make it interesting, Kip will hook up with Luann.

Steffanie is RIGHT, Tiffany has been after Kip all along. And what a nice ladylike gesture.

OOOOOO!!!! Things are getting salty here.

My My. How this strip has grown up.

Nice touch giving Stefanie Bird the BIRD

Applauding here.

Whom among us doesn’t agree with Tiffany, in this case?

The dirty/torn cheerleaders’ uniform just got a little closer.

… and the horse you rode in on!

WHOA!! Put that away, Tiff! Someone call the Comic Strip Censors!

oop

It’s got the latest groove & it’s really cleanHaven’t you heard about the bird?Don’t you know that the bird’s the word?Come on, jump here & get on your knees

And get to flappin’ your wings, in the west or the eastHaven’t you heard about the bird?Don’t you know that the bird’s the word?Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird

Hoooeeeey! Fur’s about to be flying.

Best strip of this year by far. What would be hilarious? Have the stadium lights turned off just as Steph tries to attack Tif. Blackout three panels with text balloons telling the story. I can think of some more great dialogue for Tif to hit Step with.

Whoa! I hope this comic strip is aimed only at adults… imagine little Johnny (not THAT Johnny) picking up on that sign language and broadcasting it when Gram mama comes around….

You tell her, Tiff!

At last. Someone I loath more than Tiffany. In fact, while I don’t condone violence, here’s where I’d make an exception. In this instance, it would be okay for Tiffany to wind up and deck this egotisticall dame! (And I’m being polite by calling there that.) A shiner and a fat lip would improve her looks.

GO TIFFANY!!

Tiff was also a cheerleader.

. This story line just gets more interesting. I wander how it will play out at the old dorm room. Will roommates take sides. Hopefully it doesn’t affect Kips work-haha! Wait a minute it is a job with the extra monies you can rake in playing college sports these days! What if he takes off… bye bye for good Ms Steffie-Po! At the least we know Kip has a new and sweeter Cheerleader in the wings should he wake up

Lady like or not, I would have done the same thing Tiff did

Oh and Ms Tiffany’s moves may surprise Ms Steffie (ok it did here) and especially Mr. Kip as she has some cheerleader moxie too!

Love it!! Great work, G&K!!!

You’re history honey

Oh No, she din"t!!

Yeah, classy.

People have been commenting about the surfing bird song. Everytime I hear that song mentioned I see Peter Griffin singing and dancing to it.

Oooooh, the California wave.

Love it.

Heh. For a second I thought she was holding up a cell phone.

Stef, if you and Kip broke up, it would do everyone in your unit a favor. They might be able to get a decent night’s sleep for a change.

Stefani Bird gets the bird. I LOVE IT!

It says Tiff has her iPhone held to her finger with a rubber band.

Take a look at the birdy, Stef!

=:-O

Did you just do that? Wow. Don’t do it again.

I am on Tiff’s side, but Stephanie is not wrong!

I’m liking Tiffany more and more.

Yes!! With a few words and a little “body language” Tiff finally puts her in her place.

Last panel made me cackle like a witch! (I can say that because I am one).

LOVED IT! Y’know, Kip is probably a hot commodity (commobody?) at Uni. So, I’m sure that Tiff’s not the only one being friendly towards him. There are probably other women who are all over him, and not trying to build a friendship. But because Tiff lives in the same dorm room she’s an outlet for Stef’s jealousy.

I’m really liking this arc.

Now that’s funny

As they used to say: Here’s half a “peace” sign.

Finally! Tiff shows some chutzpah!!

OOPS! Oh dear, naughty, naughty!

I mean, Tiff is lying since she recently tried to kiss Kip, but it’s still satisfying watching her stand up to Shoog for once.

Wow. Her cellphone is stuck to her finger. How does she do that?

OH BOY!!! Do I have time to go to the concession stand for a second extra-large tub of popcorn and get back before what I hope will be a YUUUUUGGGGGE catfight begins?!??!

Hope this arc doesn’t end Saturday. I am loving Tiff standing up for herself.

This coming from a former cheerleader herself.

There is a song by the Black Crows that fits Stef perfectly.

If it wasn’t Tiff it could just as easily have been ANY girl who spent any amount of time with him. It’s only natural for a person to grow resentment towards someone who attempts to isolate them and lashes out at potential friendships (i.e. jealous girlfriend.) The only reason their relationship has lasted even this long is because she puts out so much, but that can only get you so far.

I have to ask…how many papers refused to run today’s strip? Then again, I just heard from a longtime sports journalist that his paper is going online-only, so the better question is, how many papers are there now, period?

For someone who CONSTANTLY tells Tiffany that they are not in the same league, she seems to be worried about Kip picking her

Well, technically Stef is right! Everything she suspects about Kip and Tiffany is true. If your boyfriend is making goo-goo eyes at your voluptuous blonde roommate and she is returning the favor you do have a problem. Tiffany and Kip are more than “just friends”!!!!! Both are very attracted to each other. However, Stef’s problems are far worse. As someone said, if someone can be stolen away, they were never really yours to begin with and your best decision is to let them go. You’ll never find any happiness if you try to chain someone to you. I hate that Stef is behaving this way but this break is best for everyone. It would be good if she ever grew up a little and evolved into a nicer person but she’s written one dimensionally I doubt that would ever happen. So, I guess Tiff may finally get her dream crush guy. I just hope this pairing works out. Tiffany deserves a break. Even though I’m not as big a fan of hers as some people here are, she has improved a little bit over high school. She’s nicer than Stef by a mile even though she’s a master manipulator and she treats Ox abominably. I am glad she finally told Stef off. Stef has been nasty to her for far too long and gotten away with it.

Hey, Tiffany, you can’t do that on a comic strip!

That’s some good old fashioned digital communication!

Whether or not one likes Tiff, it cannot be denied that her story arcs at least go somewhere.

Wow! The kids are growing up.

Tiff — YAY!

will stef move out of the dorm and they get another roommate?

Simply put: Tiff just added an exclamation point to her lexicon of body language.

Y’know, I’ve grown tired of characters meekly accepting abuse in this strip, without responding archly, cleverly or even digitally. Huzzah, Tiff!

Perhaps, like Les, there’s a redemption arc eventually coming for Ms Bird.

I had to google shoog!

I’m hoping that Steffanie gets major payback on Tiffany, She deserves it. What a sneaky little liar.

It would be much more satisfying if Tiffany just walked away and ignored Stef. Stef loves attention and drama. Ignoring her would be the worst you could do to her.

Hurray! Finally! The self absorbed Stef is told off.

Holy crap!

Tiffany has been dreaming of doing that gesture to her for months, but I fear that Stef, the jealous head cheerleader of Moony Uni, could become a real threat. Dunno if Tiffany and Kip will end up together, but I sincerely hope not. It would prove Stef right and that would be pretty bad.

Gooooooooooo Tiffany!

I thought it was a cell phone until I got my readers.

I love it! Just never thought I’d see it in the comics.

Lowering your standards for someone like Stephanie is just not worth it

MR. EVANS GETTING EDGEY!!!

I have to wonder; do college girls, even cheerleaders, wear bows in their hair anymore?

Awesome Tiffany, go Baby Go! ;-)

Do I see a ‘girl fight’ coming?

I STILL don’t know what “shoog” means

Meanwhile,back at the dorm,Dez and Bets are having the locks changed….

Never thought I’d see the day, but there it is….OOOFFAA

Universal Sign Language!

To those who support Steff – Tiff may have been interested in Kip, but after their talk, she seemed to understand he was committed to Steff. However, he has been critical and disgusted with Steff’s bad attitude for a while. His calling a break is her own fault. Tiff had nothing to do with that. IMO

When females today talk like sailors, I think the hand gesture was very restrained and polite. LOL!!!

Well, that’s a first! You go, Tif! A picture’s worth a thousand words!

Oh, my!

Pass the peppa— it’s gettin’ salty!!

There’s nothing Tiff can do to calm down Stef, so she shouldn’t even bother trying. Move on.

Oh it took me a minute….

Tiffany is a scheming backstabber. She’s had her eye on Kip all along and I supposed she feels entitled to do this to Steffanie after all the bad treatment the cheerleader has dished out on her roommates. Still doesn’t make it right.

A nose trumpet would have been more family oriented

Love it! Stef Bird gets the bird

’Bout time Tiff!

I understand that Tiffany is getting extremly… annoyed with Steffi’s accusations. Tiff may have “lust in her heart”when it comes to Kip.But she conciously hasn’t done anything about it. The closest she’s come was to congratulate Kip on that last second pass completion.But I don’t know if giving Steffi the “bird” convey’s the right messsage. Maybe a mini gatoraide like dump would work.

“Watch The Birdie”

“Par For The Curse”

“Do You Solemnly Swear…”

“Middle Ground”

“Split Decision”

“All Shoog Up”

“Let Your Finger Do The Talking…”

Wow, never thought I’d see this in a comic strip.

“enormously” now, is that an adjective she just used or was she digging at Tiff’s weight?

Looks appropriate for the circumstances. Many decades ago when I was in that general age bracket it was generally intended to be interpreted along the lines of “Up y___s, Sideways, and ROTATE”.

Yup, “you’re number 1! I turned it up for you!!”

Good for you Tiff, now take your exit Stef.

Somebody had to say it.

Dang flipping the bird in a comic. Gotta say though go for Tiff there. Stef needs to be taken down some pegs

You tell her, Tiff!!!

I highly approve.

LOL !!!

Whoo hoo!!!

With or without Tiffany, Kip & Steph wouldn’t last because eventually Kip would get sick of her being such a jealous shrew.

YEAH!! Go Tiff!!!!

So it’s so late all the players, cheerleaders, and fans are gone. Hopefully Kip has decided to finally remove his uniform, or even wash the dirt and sweat off.

A case where Bird (Stef) gets “the bird”!

You know maybe Ann Eiffel has a worthy competitor for most reviled character in the strip; but Tiff has given the “finger” to that character, come to think of it Tiff has done that, figuratively to Ann as well. Remember Ann slinking out of her unsuccessful gambit to separate Tom Ferrell from Tiffany Farrell, and his money and his relationship with his daughter, although to me the bonus was Les’s denouncement for the total failure of his drifter, sociopathic mom at being that but not a mom. Hmmm. Will this predict a bigger conflict, with Kip being a major part? Time will tell.

Punching Stef in the nose might be unladylike. But showing her the “Digitus impudicus” is merely a polite way to say “get lost”.

Engage the enemy more closely, Tiff.

FINALLY!

Hit the jackpot coffee dude! (Lol)

Hi folks. After the Hallowee’n lights got shut off and all good little goblins were home out of the wet, we opened up LuannFan.com and looked at the answers to the puzzle. WOW! Some I never would have gotten , a few I had, and others I had come up with words that fit but were. Wrong. Eg. Final across clue fit “chocolates” but wasn’t. “Trash” bag threw me, as did “wolfmanstrick”. I’m old, so “WolfmanJack” is burned into the dna of my memories.Still, great puzzle! Hope they do it again next year!

Who or What is this “Luann” thing in this strips tittle?…..

I find it ridiculous that Steff is always wearing that bow. Is she 12?

Not that is universal.

Finally

buckle up, buttercup, here comes Karen Stef and her attitude problem.

I like Tiffany.

I am an American living in Ukraine (since early 2023), and I find the self-censorship here amusing. In the opening days of the Russian invasion (February 2022), there was a famous and inspiring incident. The Russian cruiser Moskva radioed an order to the Ukrainian soldiers guarding a small but militarily significant island, known as Snake Island for them to surrender or be bombarded. Their now-famous reply was “Russian warship, go f**k yourself.” They were bombarded, but only surrendered when completely out of ammo.

The Ukrainian government in April 2022 issued a stamp showing a solitary Ukrainian soldier clearly raising his middle finger to a Russian warship. We are apparently afraid of displaying the salute in a comic strip, but Ukraine celebrated it on a postage stamp.

Tiffany is the latest victim of the Sherlock Holmes “Finger Murders”

Well, that works, Tiff.

Good one.

It was about time.

That says that some really tiny monkeys are about to learn to hit things with bones.
