Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 19, 2024

Couldn’t Brad just look in Toni’s closet and see what color is the most prevalent?? That would solve the mystery.

.

So we’re officially a week away from Christmas. Is everyone finished with there shopping? I am. Still have some packing to do.. but done with the shopping. =)

This makes me long for (shudder) the dorm drama!

Well, I think you’re right, Brad. I never saw Toni in lilac, mostly blue.

I think this resolves all doubts about TJ.

Could it be that TJ has the teensiest bit of an artistic soul? Maybe he should meet Nil.

So what’s TJ’s colour?

I’m waiting for Shannon to appear—having been dumped there for the holidays while her sperm-donor is chasing another rainbow!

I always wear black I have around 12 identicle shirts.

I wonder how many of those striped shirts Pat Metheny has…

Maybe Bradley DeGroot is color blind? Like solid colors and stripes?

Probably dreams in black and white?

Brad’s been wearin them shirts so long the number 17’s worn completely off.

The really weird thing is that TJ knows what those colors are. For most men…

Lilac = Pink

Sage = Green

Rust = Red

Azure = Blue

This may be a lead into discussing free tshirts with family. Ultimately for using them for future blood drive.

No. He’s right, Brad. I limit myself to buying 4 of the same color at a time. Gotta mix them up though out the week.

GnK need to just finally bring TJ out of the closet.

Maybe TJ is gay. No straight guy knows what colors sage, rust and azure are.

I’m color blind, a dozen plain black shirts work for me.

14 of the same shirt! That accounts for two weeks of strips or one week with a BBQ!

My wife gave me a dozen pairs of socks. White.

Some of Brad’s shirts have orange stripes on the sleeves and look like retro original Cincinnati Bengals shirts circa 1930’s.

Another arc that shows how much we miss Ann❤️Eiffel whose favorite color would be green.

Okay.

I know that I may “offend” the “Oh golly-gee, the (former?) bad guys in this Strip have really changed for the better,” crowd, but frankly I’d be a little bit leery of some guy with TJ’s ‘history’ being that Observant about the likes and dislikes and the general goings on in both DeGroot households. ;-)

And PLEASE Come BACK, “Dorm Drama!”

ALL is forgiven! ;-)

TJ, SERIOUSLY? “Indigo”? “Sage?” OK, we’ll let it go this time, but if we catch you saying “mauve” or “chartreuse” we’re going to have to ask you to turn in your man card.

Don’t bite, Brad.

The late, great Bill Gaines would find an item of clothing he liked and buy it in several sizes, as he was in the habit of going on and off diets.

Brad must buy shirts online. I haven’t found he clothing store that would have 14 of the same shirt, same color, all in my size.

So, my having and wearing gray tee shirts virtually eyery day ISN’T the norm?!?

Guess finding the perfect gift is harder than Brad anticipated.

Weird in an amusing way : )

Charlie Brown tribute.

So Brad and Jeremy Dincan have something in common.

This explains why Luann’s shirts are often azure. TJ is a detail-oriented guy, especially for the people he considers his family. But there’s nothing wrong with being like Brad and not remembering everything.

uggh

TJ has gotten Brad on board with the free knock off tshirt, so now all he has to do is give Toni a nice bottle of perfume on Christmas morning!

TJ is suppose to be a con man. A good conman gets to know as much as possible about his potential marks. As for Brad’s intelligence-the basic requirement for a cop/firefighter in California (and most all other states) is a GED and a driver’s license.

I’m on TJ’s side here. 14 identical shirts is just creepy. Of course I know it’s just G&K hanging a lampshade, but it’s still unnerving.

Weird indeed….."

Now that’s what I call an off-color joke!

Don’t laugh. My boss had 12 pairs of the same pants

In Brad’s defense, it’s not like there’s much to know about Toni, since being Brad’s bespoke Nice Guy Trophy has made her bereft of any characterization of her own. She has no friends, to the point where she had to ask her fiancé’s kid sister to be the maid of honor at her wedding despite having minimal interaction with the Luann up to that point. All her interests were created to complement Brad’s, and even her family was introduced so as to prevent her and Brad from having the requisite privacy needed for premarital intimacy. TJ says her favorite color is lilac but when has that been demonstrated in the strip? Heck, when have any of the characters’ favorite colors been reflected in their wardrobe? Another example of the strip telling instead of showing.

Brad’s still weird for having 14 identical shirts though.

Looks like TJ has morphed into Bernice.

TJ has a point.

I’m with Brad. I have lots of identical shirts, some white, some black.

OK smart allec, what Bernice’s favorite color? Brad COULD check Toni’s closet to check for her favorite color, but it’s too logical to be a “man” thing. TJ has a point, 14 shirts exactly the same is weird, Brad. You could at least have different color stripes.

In wearing teal-colored shirts & ties I have gotten many compliments from women, so now I make it a point to wear those colors at work & in meetings where I expect to be interacting with them.

Colors for men’s clothes tend to be labeled in pretty basic terms (red, blue, green) so many men never learn the names for more complex shades (lilac, burgundy, teal)

Don’t use that slogan and get white shirt

So would TJ and Bernice make a great couple?

Never buy women clothing as a gift because you will never get it right

This is one of my pet peeves. People who live together (married or not) should know each other’s interests, hobbies, favorite color/music/book/movie, etc. As for “I don’t know what size to buy!” Can’t you check the person’s closet and see what sizes are the items you see them in most often? Use your eyes and your brain!

Most people would just say “Purple, brown or blue.” Even if a guy knew his girl’s favorite color, it wouldn’t be something as specific as “lima bean, fire engine or bottom of the pool.”

Purple, Red or Blue or Yellow or Gold.

“Bottom of the pool” sounds like a great color for swimwear!

Finally, the secret behind comic strip costuming!

This is a funny dynamic between these two, I’ve missed this ! ;-)
