Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 23, 2024

Seriously? He not only gives his relatives crappy T-Shirts, he tells them what their gifts are before they get them. And then he makes everyone know he’s a cheapskate by telling that he got them all for free. WTH??

I can only pray he bought them all other gifts besides the T-Shirts and he’s just pulling their legs… but i doubt it.

Luann isn’t much better with her 1 hour of work gift certificates. Frank and Nancy… Where did you go wrong with your kids??

A) Not the Blood Drive. Very disappointing.

B) a continuation of last week dreadful storyline. Very cringe-worthy

C) so much for Christmas. Putting the Krampus in Xmas.

Wow, way to spread the Christmas cheer Luann and Frank. And Brad? You never tell people about the cost (or lack thereof) of the gifts you give; it’s bad etiquette.

No Berniece.

SEE?? I said I see Toni mostly in blue and here she is in BLUE! TJ is wrong!

I think the t-shirts will be a hit as he and TJ spent a lot of time thinking them through.

Check out Toni’s expression in the last frame. It’s like she’s saying, “I married this guy?”

Much improved over the chaos of only a few hours ago; looks like they got things under control and Nancy is more relaxed.

Notice how Toni isn’t smiling, he probably already gave her her free gift. See what you married, Toni? Is this how he will treat your kids if you ever have any?

Amazing that Bradley DeGroot is proud of being tight with money. Did Frank and Nancy fail as parents?

Hand-made gifts are great—if that’s what the recipients actually want and/or that’s all the givers can afford. But if they have more dough and they still insist on giving these types of presents? Then, yeah—very disappointing.

And by the way, is Frank addressing the characters or us?

Finally, Luann is one to talk about giving lousy presents.

Hoo boy!! Can’t wait to see what’s on those shirts!!! Brad just might lose an inheritance, LOL!

A cliff hanger? Big reveal on Christmas Day. Telling each of them that they are going to be grandparents, and an aunt. And, maybe one for Toni, too.

Toni’s shirt will say: HAPPY – Luann’s will say: HOLIDAYS – Nancy’s will say: FROM – Frank’s will say: US. When they stand together for their family picture = “Happy Holidays from Us”. (or something like that)

Oh thats th Christmas tree. For a second there it allmost looked like Frank was wearin some tall green dreadlocks with diffrent color beads in em

Didn’t you pay for the newspaper?

Maybe they’re all ‘B.S.’ tees like the one Luann wears …..

Do people really expect gifts from their relatives? I don’t. If it’s my birthday or any gift giving holiday, for example, if my kids tell me their bills are paid and they have food on their table, and a nice place to live, that’s a great gift for me. Peace of mind is the best gift EVER…

Ordinarily I say that it’s the thought that counts.

But Gee, Brad.

Did you have to tell them full details on HOW you acquired the gifts? ;-)

Isn’t it the thought that counts?

why didn’t toni try to stop him before he gifts again?

We will find out how much more lousy it gets when each reads the lettering.

Does Toni not give gifts at Christmas?

This is funny.

Free — the gift that wraps you in the comforting warmth of familiar scorn for years to come. Just keeps giving.

Not sure Luann is one to talk here….

Like to see how Shannon is preparing for Christmas, crashing on her dad’s buddies’ couch and such. Bet it doen’t compare to the involvement with Aunt Toni and Uncle Bwad.

TMI, Brad.

Considering the size of newspapers today (now called brochures) and cost, it must have cost him a pretty penny, boy howdy.

Frank, if you thought Brad was lousy with gifts before you unwrapped the t-shirt, wait until you see what it says. (Unless Toni chose what they say, then it would salvage the lousy cheap gift, some.)

so does Frank’s say “the big guy”?

Now comes the big reveal!!!

Brad has a weird sense of humor. I really want to see what he put on everyone’s shirts, especially the one for his sister. A joke or something positive?

I can’t understand the thinking where you tell someone who is giving you a gift that they suck at gift giving. Entitlement and ingratitude galore.

A free Tee will not a gift be

I remember a strip from years ago where Brad was bragging about doing all of his shopping online. He told Luann that he was done and never had to set foot in a mall. Her reaction: “And you’re HAPPY about this???”

The last time I bought my son AT shirt I considered his personality, not his favorite colour. Nobody wants to wear all green or all periwinkle. I loved the T-shirt because it said non conformist and the letters didn’t conform to the norm of a straight line. I bought it in the gift shop of cirque du soleil when they performed alegria. He loves it, so TJ can stuff his opinions and just let people choose, make mistakes comment that’s how we learn.. Besides, a lot of people don’t have a favorite colour. Many of us just can’t choose one colour

It is not how much you spend on Christmas it is how you spend Christmas. Only people who seek to impress someone ever mentions cost of anything.

Too bad firemen only make minimum wage….yeah, right. Hey, how come Shannon didn’t get one that says ANNOYING BRAT?

This means Brad hit his head and time traveled back to 8th grade Brad.

I think this is sweet, and I’m so looking forward to what the shirts say. This is Luannverse, not real life.

Looks like Brad is wearing a shirt autographed by Greg, lol

It’s almost Christmas. I decided this year to only send Christmas cards / gifts to those I receive them from first. I’ve gotten (and sent) 5 cards. Personally, I love getting gifts even if it’s a rock.

Revealing the great deal you got in the presents you give is kind of like revealing the trick behind a magic trick.

Are we going to have the "we got you tshirts that say “auntie” “grandma” and “grandpa” because we’re pregnant!" plot line?

Newsprint ink is never quite dry coming off the presses and stays that way for a while. Smudges!

So, same old same old, just another day in Luann world ! Christmas yet ??? ;-)

And there you have it………lousy!

LOL! Luann seems amazed that she has a family member who is actually cheaper at Christmas gifting than she is.

Not so fun when YOU’RE on the receiving end of the cheapskating, is it Frank? Reap what you’ve sown!

So, what does the T-shirt for Toni say?

I’m guessing the unifying theme in the shirts will be the word DeGroot. Like “Daddy Degroot”

I always crack up when women lose their minds over receiving Omaha Steaks Products, or meats/cheeses. I would trade diamonds, and cashmere for meats any day. I rarely wear jewelry, and unless my house is around 50 degrees Fahrenheit I only wear the cashmere sweaters to sleep in. Have not even done that in many years.

For Brad, this is an improvement. He could at least have used real gift wrap though.

I mean, it wasn’t completely without effort. He had to find a newspaper to buy in 2024.

My parents asked what I wanted this year and I drew a blank, as I just buy myself what I need instead of hoping it gets gifted to me. In the end I said I’d be happy with the newest Harkins Theatres souvenir cup. As a big movie fan it’s something that’s guaranteed to get some use from me.

I don’t buy gifts anymore and I don’t want any. I do not want to go into debt and I do not want others to go into debt. The whole thing is dumb.

Has Brad ever profited by taking advice from TJ?

Hopefully,TJ will save the day with catered eats

Brad is clueless.
