Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 27, 2025

OOOooohhh.. This looks promising. Tiff.. Kip.. The Fuse.. What more could we ask for?? ;)

Looks like Tiff is very willing to help out Kip with his loneliness issues.

.

So.. Will a jealous Stef appear shortly?? That seems to be how these things go.

I supposed we had to get back to this soap opera eventually. Sigh. Oh well. It has been a remarkably refreshing three months of having a break from all this dorm drama, and actually have arcs focused on Luann and/or Bernice that were engaging, fun to read, and left us with some intrigue involving other characters in their lives like Mrs. Horner, Piro and his siblings. I look forward to G&K picking back up on those again in the future.

Tiffany can’t replace Stefani Bird!

Looks like Kip missed Stef enough to consider hooking up with her again. Or is he mistaking his missing her for lonliness? It being too quiet?

Gently, Tiff… you’re about as subtle as a phart in a space suit…

And so it begins….

Tiffany and Bernice should get a room together because they are both hormonally addled delusional young women who think men are innately attracted to them.

Where’s Ox to distract Kip from Tiffany’s maniacal stare?

Kip looks “startled” by Tiffany’s presence?

Oh goody, more of this.

Look at Kip in the last panel, he’s a scared little boy

Tiffany’s not so good at taking a hint. Or a handful of them.

Now, that’s kind of pushy.

We’ll see how this goes. Ultimately I think Tiffany is smarter than Kip – or Stef. But for the time being – Tiffany will go for anytning that looks good and wears pants.

Kip Lee should crawl back to Stefani?

It didn’t seem that Kip and Stef shared much of anything except their bodies.

It’s just too fast. Kip has been with Stef for years. He’s still thinking about how he feels about her; it’s to his credit (and kind of surprising) that he doesn’t immediately replace her.

Uh, Tiff—aren’t you supposed to be on duty??

Tomorrow, Oxford?

G&K, here’s an idea for a new arc: you re-introduce Fay, the young girl whom Luann coached a while back. She and Piro’s brother Alan meet, and WHAM!! Love at first sight! The rest of the arc concerns them trying to evade Fay’s helicopter mother. How about it??

Yeah, it does seem a lot like Gunther and Bets, but it just might work out.

So who all works ar this place? Let’s see…. Tiffany, TJ, Ox, Les, Nancy(?)… b-WAD and Toni work at the same fire station… I guess this way, it’s a lot easier for GnK to keep track of people’s jobs…

Tiff, you’re trying too hard. Besides, you don’t want to be the rebound girl.

Oh, c’mon Tiff. That’s too obvious

Oh, Tiffany!

How I’ve missed you!

And We have a “Tiffany Arc” just in time for the upcoming Valentine’s Day Massacre.

But she shouldn’t get her hopes up for “Kippie-Poo.”

I think that he’s just there for the fries…..,;-)

Last chance Kip!

This arc makes for good comic strip drama, but companionship with a toxic narcissist is worse than loneliness.

It’s just Monday! Slow down, Tiffany!

Next soap opera, here we come. ( ◔_◔)

If Tiffany wants to be any more obvious, I suppose she could just get undressed.

why doesn’t she just club him over the head?

Poor Ox. His heart is sinking.

Ain’t happening, Tiff.

A few folks called this one, last week; not me (I merely agreed via “like”). It’s portal season. I still posit that the transfer portal will be the plot device that gets Kip away…and maybe Ox too.

Tiffany, let it go. He’s already said no. He’ll let you know if he changes his mind.

I like that Tiffany isn’t shy about letting Kip know that she likes him and all whar she’s doing is waiting for him to be ready to move on. The breakup with Stef seems defensive, this is making me appreciate Kip more and more.

Sounds like some old timey sexual tension is coming.

When did Stef ever stop talking about herself long enough to hear anything he said?

I thought the last frame was funny.

she may help you fix that problem for you… :j

Tiff – “You know Kip there are more women in this world to share with besides Steph.” as she smiles and flutters her eye lashes while supporting her head on the back of her hand and softly utters “ahem”.

Oh come on Tiff, get with the program and just ask Kip out for a date. Women do that now you know.

Great Expectations.

Aaaand this is a surprise.

There are clues that lead me to believe that Tiff likes Kip in a romantic way.

There was no sharing….she was so one-sided and self-centered.

Tiff should let him make the first move. She’s starting backslide into her old self. Just be satisfied with schadenfreude knowing how Stef feels right now!

The hair on the back of Kips neck is standing up. Time to go.

About 9 am CST and 113 comments already. This story line has allot of interest!

what he misses is sharing his … whatchamacallit with a woman.

Fully expect Stalker Stef to show up and ruin the moment for Tiff

And there you have it…….

“I would but you’re…fat.”

So Kip is an emotional handbag to a vapid self-absorbed cretin of a woman and can’t exist without her and he is desirable why?

Kip is such a tool, he just happens to decide to have lunch where Tiffany works, walks in looking all mopey-sad and talks about his lonely holidays. I hope Tiffany understands what a relationship with Kip would involve. He was used to being sexually active with Stefanie and I don’t know if Tiffany is quite ready for that. It would be quite a landmark for this comic. I’m still trying to figure out how Gunther could be considered “talented” by Bets.

Definite “I’m available” look.

Don’t be so pushy Tiff… ever heard of doing it with finesse?

Okay, I gotta admit that was pretty smooth of Tiff to do.

I don’t mean this in a horrible way, but is she supposed to be attractive? She didn’t seem to be even in high school, but in the storylines, she’s always branded as such.

“Pardon me for getting fresh”, she used to say. But he never noticed her anyway

FINALLY!!!! Back to this storyline!

Don’t be too obvious Tiff.

Kip, you need to learn to be comfortable with yourself. You don’t need another person present constantly to feel safe.

So we’re back here again, Oh boy, this should be fun ! ;-)

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy with a twinge of giddiness and bilateral gynandromorph

Tiff is a little desperate.

Let’s see if she yields her maidenhead to Kip….

LOL is my main reaction (last panel)

Tiff, thinking: Ta-ta-ta TA ta TA! CHARGE!

Kip will go back to Stef.

Good to see Ox and TJ, if only from a distance.

Does Tiff’s train have any brakes?

I remember being at a restaurant where the waitress just sat down at the table to talk to me instead of taking my order. It was very disconcerting. I had to ask her, “Are you going to take my order?” and that kind of broke her out of it. I hope Kip does the same here.

Maybe Tif will flip Steph off again.

Kip, you totally walked right into that one.

Sheesh. Back down a little.

Interesting to see her listening.

Kip and Piro are both not worth the attention they get from Tiff and Bern, respectively. Kip may be a nice guy, but he stayed with Stef who isn’t a nice person at all, just so he can get what she could give him (of the privacy tent kind). And Piro has a lot of responsibilities and issues Bern is too young to get involved with. Not that Tiff and Bern are winners, either.

Let’s see were this arc takes us.

Down Tiff down!!!!

Is this the first time the comic has directly referenced Sex instead of hinting at it?

When is Tiffany going to stop acting like a barracuda
