Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 19, 2012
Transcript:
TJ: "Off to my Weenieworld gig!" Brad: "TJ, you don't need the money. Why do you keep going?" TJ: "Cuz I'm having so much fun with Ann Eiffel. Since I doubled her sales, she's eatin' out of my hand!" Brad: "What about your list of rules you gave her? Does she actually obey those?" TJ: "Do you see the grin?"

What’s that noise I hear? Oh, that’s a BIG sigh of relief across the ether…

Ahhh….back to The Game
Bender_Sastre over 12 years ago
Okay, why doesn’t he need the money? Is he rich for some reason?
Simon_Jester over 12 years ago
Like there’s anything different about TJ’s expression? On any give day, he grins so much, the Cheshire Cat gets jealous
bikenboatn over 12 years ago
Regardless, TJ’s still a rarity in today’s job market—someone who loves his job and goes to work because he wants to, not because he has to.
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Yeah, TJ loves to be the center of attention. If he can rip somebody off – that just frosting on his cake.

I wanna see Ann, shes a hottie
The Old Wolf over 12 years ago
Oh good, I was hoping we’d see more of this story.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
TJ is an inveterate TJ! Grin-and-tease, we aim to please! Except that in the case of Little Awful Annie, we aim to irritate, frustrate, and discombobulate!
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
Ahhhh…am SO glad to see a new arc! Hope not to see Gunther for a LONG while! Now back to TJ and Ann’s Battle of Wits.
gibson22varcelone over 12 years ago
I enjoyed the Gunther story arc enough…but I had to go back a little under two months to remember what TJ’s demands were…my gosh…long story arc is long. O_O

Whats THIS????
TJ’s ALIVE and STILL Employed at Weenie World?!!?
Oh HELL NO!
QUICK, Someone CALL 911 and have the Cops “Billy Club” this Grinning Jackass Until he CONFESSES as to what he Done with the REAL Ann Eiffel!!!
cruftschamp over 12 years ago
Yes, Imbaldeagle, a BIG sigh of relief… a whiny, nerdy looser like Gunther who knowingly lets good stuff not happen because of inaptitude but still thinks of himself as bright brings out the worst in many women (including me). Rosa just might at some point have to lash out, when she’s been giving too much finally of patience to a (gag)..
Tinyman over 12 years ago
@Lance96816:She may be a hottie outside but inside she is as cold as ice. She maihg as well be called Ann Eyesore
Airman over 12 years ago
From one kind of bully to another….Frozen Face torments Ann.
nasa35 over 12 years ago
Finally! I can can read the strip again. Never another day with gunther….please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ArtCreator over 12 years ago
Isn’t TJ always grinning?
Chuck373 over 12 years ago
Ann is in charge of a dozen teens. Because TJ is not scrubbing toilets doesn’t cause Ann to do it herself. And his familiarity with Ann, while it appears to bother her, I think is going to be part of what brings them togrther, romanticly. I still think Brad is going to come home one day and find the two of them on the couch.
Gerry Lee over 12 years ago
Enjoy it while you can T.J. Having everything go your way may be amusing for awhile, but I have a feeling Ann’s turn to gloat is coming soon. Unless the only weapon in her arsenal is being boss of a weenie shop…that would be kind of pathetic. If she’s a worthy opponant at all, expect the tables to turn soon….
lynchmother over 12 years ago
Does Brad look really thin?
dieseldude over 12 years ago
I think Ann is going fire T.J. again, she’s not going to put up with much more of his smilling crap.

cruftschamp Shame!

I miss Gunther.

It’s gonna be a fun week for you all.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
One of the things I like about this strip is that not all of the storylines revolve around Luann; the supporting cast members (Brad, TJ, Toni, Gunther, Knute, Tiffany, Crystal etc.) are adequate enough to have plots developed about them…Come to think of it, I would like to see Bernice interact with some characters outside of Luann!
Professional Rookie over 12 years ago
Don’t rattle his cage. He’s just a forum troll.
mjhannaman over 12 years ago
Finally! It seems like it’s been years since we last saw TJ. Why don’t we just rename the strip “TJ!” and ditch Luann, Gunther, and all those other pathetic losers? Welcome back, TJ!!!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
As much as I like Luann, to have the comic centered upon her all the time would make it stale and stagnant— sort of like “Zits.”
King_Shark over 12 years ago
Oh damn. Evans stopped “growing” Gunther? Some people will be sooooooooo unhappy……..:)
Kathe over 12 years ago
FINALLY! It’s Spring here in PA…the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the daffodils are blooming and this comic strip is off on a new tangent. Aaahh..(sigh of relief). Now I am all set for the coming events of TJ and Weenie World. YES!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
If Greg Evans reads these postings (I hope), he will utilize Bernice a bit more. As I give it some thought, she seems like the kind of person I would liked to have known, had I been allowed to have girlfriends in High School…
Alabama Al over 12 years ago
I’m still trying to figure how TJ doubled sales at WeenieWorld. A toothy grin can only carry so far. From my experience, sales at fast food outlets are dependent on product value, location, promotion, service efficiency, the restaurant’s physical attributes, and the strength of area competition. With the possible exception of his own service efficiency, TJ would have control over none of these factors.
Skywatcher68 over 12 years ago
Please don’t feed the trolls.
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Agreed Namrepus. Just what I was thinking when I read the post questioning how TJ doubled sales..Now about Bernice – what makes you think she’d be more interesting than Gunther? Oh, I guess it’s because she’s a girl!
Airman over 12 years ago
I like Tiffany’s “pair” better than this pair.
Dr Sheriff MB esq PhD DML over 12 years ago
Gotta hand it to TJ… if he’s got her “…eating out of his hand”(insert visual)
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Thanks so much for the tip— I think I’ll go to that site and suggest to Greg Evans that he create a new character for Bernice to meet. The new guy would be a good-looking intellectual who is utterly obsessed with girls, but has a psychologically disturbed mother who does not want him to go on dates until he graduates from college!
dblbaraje over 12 years ago
This confidence usually means some trouble is ahead…..
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Also, this hypothetical new guy would be a bit arrogant and conceited (due to being smart and handsome), which might make Bernice attracted to him. However, when she finds out about his mother, things would start getting complex…
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 12 years ago
Actually, how TJ doubles sales is going to be demonstrated. It’s great.
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 12 years ago
Suggest all check out Greg’s blog – he has interesting comments about last week’s material.

Justice! Teach her a lession TJ
da11a5 over 12 years ago
there is nothing like a Hot Boss, & you have control over them!…….OK…..i like human girls
peninsulapal Premium Member over 12 years ago
Go TJ…he’s fun and always up to some mischief!
peninsulapal Premium Member over 12 years ago
Oh please….Luann needs to spice things up a bit with Aussie Boy, and get some confidence to get it going with him…we can only wait ;(
Numbnumb over 12 years ago
Oooooh. The Messor is becoming the messie!
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
I am waiting for TJ’s hold over Ann to backfire on him somehow. Ann will not be outwitted by a kid.
ILikeMeSomeComics over 12 years ago
YES!!! WERE BACK!!!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Very real…
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Yes, it is becoming a soap-opera strip about young adults rather than funny teenagers.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Again, it is (actually, has become) a soap-opera strip about young adults. That is why I have come to like it. There is a comedic comic strip running in many papers about a doofus teenage boy that is just not funny anymore. Of course, I am referring to the strip which begins with the letter Z, and features an incredibly lazy main character with ridiculously stupid parents.
stevengotz over 12 years ago
I have to admit, I really like the strips with Brad and his girlfriend and best buddy. I would not be opposed to a spin off strip. Should have happened when he became a fireman way back when.
caherrera over 12 years ago
Yay!I’m glad T.J. is getting back at Ann.Cannot wait to see what happens!Go T.J.<3
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Maybe he has not lost interest, but has chosen to develop her supporting cast. She’s still the star, but the other characters need further elaboration.
Doctor11 over 12 years ago
I wonder if Eiffel has ripped out all of her hair yet? It would serve her right.
