Eye dough nut reed LUANN 4 duh crows sword puss else…. Due ewe?? ;)

Did Annie, Juan, Ethan, and Joy thistle as thyme?

T – shirt: ’I’m With Fluffy’

May your New Years be celebrated with less gunfire than here. You may guess where I live.

When it’s the middle of the holidays and you have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, despite having a cartoon due.

They said the solution is at LuannFan.com, but I couldn’t find it…

G&K must be out of fresh ideas. Too much eggnog, maybe??

Beb01 has blocked me, because he is a Troll who loves to hate things that people like.

Keep trying to spread you hate. Everyone knows.

They said it’s at LuannFan.com, but I couldn’t find it…

No Sunday strip this week? Bummer way to end the year. :-(

What is this falderol? I can’t make heads or tails of it. Why was it written in such a way that it makes no sense at all?

Didn’t they do one of these puzzles before?

I’m not going to bother this time.

Mare he tooth house ant went tiff hive.

Oh a crossword, how fun… moving on!

Ah, the joys of Anguish Languish. Glad to see it re-surface on occasion. These are delightful.

as it wasn´t hard enough to solve english crosswords for non-english speakers, now we have to decipher them? life used to be much simpler…..

Someone’s been hanging out with Stephan Pastis, I think.

Hmm.

I appreciate the effort the Evans crew put into making these crossword puzzles.

But I think it’s time to peek at LuannFan, for a little help. ;-)

Just say ‘no’.

Sorry, I read comics to relax, not work.

Any guesses on which story might be continued next week? :)

Godzilla had a stroke reading this and died.

Never did a crossword until I was stuck on a plane for 5 hours. Started the NYT crossword and got every single word! GOod news: My score is 100% for crosswords. Bad news: I can never do another.

nope

This takes too much effort to figure out and I’ve only had a few sips of coffee

Did Shannon make this crossword puzzle?

Moving on…

Has Pastis taken over ‘Luann’?

Whut?

Pidgin English to me

Greg must have suffered from cartoonist block to drag one of these up again.

Too difficult for me. But I like the idea. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!

First decipher the clues, then figure out the answer to the clues. No thanks. The NFL game starts in 3 hours. I’ve got other comics to read. I don’t have time for this nonsense.

Too much trouble, but a nice try.

I didn’t come here to think!

I’ve seen crossword puzzles before, but this is quite a puzzle.

..More Comments than Likes, always a bad sign..

Best Luann of the year. Last year’s was, too.

This was fun to do!

I don’t know why I still read this comic for anything! It used to be fun & worth an occasional smile. I guess I just keep hoping for a decent storyline to magically appear.

I guess this is going to be a recurring thing. It feels like G&K have become tired of their own characters and are looking for an escape from them.

This is like the Mad Gab game.

Answers: Note, I did not go to the answers page. I may now that I’ve completed it.

How annoying! ;-)

Boring

I can’t waste time on such nonsense.

These things give me a headache.
