Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 25, 2025

This seems like a retcon of Luann’s love life. There was never a “secret” crush on Aaron Hill. She was pretty straight-forward about that. And what about all the other crushes in her life, like Miguel and Stuart and Jack and Quill. There was never this hesitation. And I don’t even know what Bernice’s beef is about. Once again Luann has been reduced to a 12 year old virgin.

Is Bernice being serious or joking ?

♪ I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about number one, oh mine, me, my ♪

But in all seriousness, I kinda get where Luann’s coming from. It’s hard to explain in words to anyone who hasn’t experienced such, but there actually is a major difference between having an innocent (or secret) crush on somebody, and actually being in love with somebody. It doesn’t sound like Luann is exactly in love, but again, you really have to have the experience to fully understand the difference.

luann is growing up…a bit of self-realisation, some understanding of herself. Gosh though, she does heap trouble on herself doesn’t she?

YOU’RE a fine one to talk, Bernice! Next to Stef, you’re the most aggravating character in this strip—now that Ann Eiffel is history!

Kudos to the perfect attire.

You snooze, you lose.

“What if it doesn’t (happen)?” Lu – That’s always the question – for you and everybdy else.

Wow! Luann is finally being honest with herself about Aaron.

Falling in love does take courage and you definitely make yourself vulnerable.

.

I think if they both like the same ice cream flavor.. it’ll be true love. ;)

Has Luann ever stated what her favorite flavor is?

Yes Bernice, you were quite aggravating the whole time your friend was struggling with unrequited love.

Wow! A moment of clarity from Bernice.

Luann likes any guy with pants on.

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones, because I signed up long ago and have still been paying the original rate of $14.99. So if it went up to $19.99, no big deal. I mean, a 30% increase is a lot, but I’m supposedly getting a “break” now.

I assume that, like me, other paid subscribers got the message that our rate will be jacked to $34.99, for magnificent “new” features, that are basically the same as what we have now. Most of which I don’t want or need. That’s a 75% price hike for most subscribers; more than double for folks in my group.

Questions:

1.You OK with this?

2.You willing to send an email to Andrew’s McMeel’s CEO at kmelville@ and let her know?

3.How long until this post gets deleted?

It’s always about you isn’t it Bernice. A wise counselor in the making.

Aaron’s in th past. Phil’s here now an he’s interested in you. And he might be there in th future if you don’t weird him out.

Past, present, future, there ya go

Secret crush on Aaron? Hardly secret. Everyone knew about it except perhaps for Aaron himself.

Sheesh.

Nothing ever changes with Lu.

One would never know that she once dated a “near perfect guy.”

Heck, she never even mentions his name anymore.

OTOH, I dunno if I’d be baring My soul to Bernice, Lu. ;-)

Luann’s biggest problem is that her best friend is such a downer.

Look at it this way… she certainly did something with the swine, Pedo, and that ended up as a one night stand and he didn’t respect her in the morning. Or the night before, for that matter. Our Be❤️ed, Kind ❤️ed, Patriotic ❤️ Count sincerely hopes Pedo is boiled in his own pudding and buried with a sprig of holly through his ❤️. Oh, yeah, out with Phil (he’s a swine and not worthy) and bring back Alan.

Sure Bernice, make it all about YOU! You always do.

It’s always about you, Bernice, especially when it isn’t.

Maybe Bernice is in love with Luann.

If that shirt doesn’t exist in real life, it should. It’s awesome.
