Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 22, 2025

The eyes have it!

Aye caramba!

No beating around the bush.

t will be interesting to see how this turns out. Will Phil make Luann forget all about Quill and Hill? Will Phil be the thrill of her life? We may have a winner here.

Mrs. Horner,you may have worked your magic.

That took forever. Is this going to be molasses in January of love stories?

So some of the readers will get their wish when Phil and Luann go on a date, and some will be disappointed when Phil and Luann don’t have sex on that same date. The important thing is that Phil and Luann decided for themselves what to do.

The one in th first picture between the two of em is Cathy. An it looks like she’s mad at Irving again

Popeye’ aye?

Good thing the exhibition wasn’t a bunch of paintings of horses

Good. It’s time for a real date for Luann.

Anything is preferable to staring at that junk!

Good for Luann that she now has better luck with men.

She spelled it wrong. This joke was brought to you by AI.

Well that was early painless…..

Well, hallelujah!

Did she mean “Aye”, “I?” or “Me?”.

Thought you’d never ask.

Well, I MUST say that the “bush” got beaten around pretty darn good before We got to the “point.”

And I’ll wager that these two will run into someone that at least ONE of them Knows while they are out on their “date thing.”

PS:

And Please, let Us observe a moment of silence to all the “Jack/Luann” shippers out there wherever they may be.

Thank you.

Now, let’s PLAY BALL!!! ;-)

WOW! Nil’s thing actually works.

Aye see what you did there, GnK!

Finally!

Yay!!! Time for some real romance in the strip.

lolololololol…

“Aye” see what you did there.

I know this is silly, but I think it looks like they’re wearing Starfleet uniforms in Panel #2. And Luann’s a Redshirt!

Well! That was easy!

Of all the guys she’s gone out with, I like this one. Let’s see if it’s time for her to have a stable relationship.

Whoo

I like it. They don’t talk much, but they say the important things. This could be the beginning of a new relationship for Luann. I’m happy for her, but it bothers me to think that we’ll probably see Bernice do an annoying victory dance while singing “I Told You, I Told You!”

Art can really bring two people together.

Maybe they can go to Springfield and wave buh-bye to the departing Haitian illegal immigrants.

FINALLY!!!!!

Aye sea whut thay dun thar

Aye-aye, matey!

Finally! Thanks Greg and Karen for listening to us !! I thought maybe they would have used the eyes to their advantage and had a strip where they kiss each other and say “let’s get out of here” implying the eye paintings were watching them but this works too!!

Let’s hope they’re a little bit better at conversing than what they appear to be now. I’m guessing a trip to a museum to look at artifacts probably isn’t a good idea for a first date for these two.

Phil the person, not in scrubs, is something we will now get to see.

Yay!!! Bout time !

“Will you bring the gloves?”

Aye or eye?

Please let this be a relationship that is sweet and a little grown up. Phil’s choice of employment hopefully shows he is a decent person and deserves some respect. It is almost Spring. Let us enjoy a young love story in all its glory. Please don’t let this be hopelessly romantic wishful thinking.

Took you long enough, Phil!

I wish I were a little more thrilled about Phil (I know, I’m not the audience) but he seems a tad dull to me, more or less a character who was created to be a love interest for Luann but without any real chemistry other than being designed for that purpose. Oh well, it’s a change from Luann’s normal solitary mode these past few years.

take her bowling in charterstone

The brooding eye sees all!

how about now?

Didn’t see this coming, but good for Luann.

Don’t blow it, Lu.

Looking at these comments, why do people take this comic so seriously?

Tomorrow: The Return of Shannon?

NOT TO THE FUSE!!! PLEASE!!!

Memo to G & K: Please let her win one for a change. Please.

Next exhibit: Pirate eye patches

Ahem I know I aint the only one l, but I still GET TO SAY THIS: I CALLED IT!! In the fine tradition of Luannverse it took long enough. Bets on this will be the one. I hope I live long enough (lol).

Finally!!

For some reason, this morning they look like they are wearing Star Trek shirts/tops to me. And she is like Scotty when she says “Aye.”

Good one Luann.

whew

Greg, let Luann find a long-time suitor, man! I think this one’s going to be a winner!

I think they’d make a good couple.

OK, what’s with the names that end in ‘L’? There’s Aaron Hill, Quill, Nil and now Phil.

Of course she would.

Eye yi yi! The eyes have it!

Finally, we are getting somewhere. Or, at least, they are!

Sergio Nilone

Luann’s going on a date? It’s way, way past due. Same for Tiffany. Watching relationships evolve in this strip is like waiting for tar to drip.

I know this is just a comic but I’m so happy for Luann!

Just had to set up the natural response as desired.

Finally!

the plot thickens

YESSS!!

Oh no! Now they’ll have to buy one of Nils’ paintings to celebrate the day they got together. It will hang over their mantle for the rest of their lives, traumatizing their friends and future children LOL!

Luann has a date??????

I agree, at least initially. But if things progress as we hope. I think we can forgive Luann for “showing off” her new BF. And her parents would definitely want to meet him.

Hooray! Good luck Luann and Phil! Now to avoid Bummer Bernice.

This might be like Luann with Jack when they first met..a possible romantic partner, but she wasn’t attracted to him in that way, so they became friends instead. Which is fine; no one, male or female, should have to get involved with someone they have no spark with (Tiffany and Ox, whatever that was with Bernice and Gunther, Kip and anyone who’s not Stefani).

thanks for being my beard Luann says Phil

Another pun that doesn’t work. He’s bound to think she’s too weird

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

A or I?

Aye captain, thar she blows ! ;-0

A date with Phil all because of Nil.

Tomorrow,Keith Haring butts in
