Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 28, 2012
Transcript:
TJ: "Sup, guys?" Toni: "TJ! Have you seen Shannon? We can't find her!" TJ: "Did you look in the house?" Brad: "No. We immediately ran out in the rain" TJ: "C'mon. 84% of "runaways" are actually found hiding inside the house" Toni: "We looked!" Brad: "Where do you get these statistics?"

I’m guessing USA Today, but you gotta be skeptical to read that…

T.J. is street smart. Shannon is playing a game. The real question is — Why is Shannon playing this game? The kid is very mature for her age and wants something — What does she want?
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
Yep. The voice of reason shows up to calm the panic of that illogical pair. One of those rare moments when TJ surprises us with common sense.
DaJellyBelly over 12 years ago
If she is hiding in the house. She will come out for “uncle” TJ.
reedkomicks Premium Member over 12 years ago
She may have fallen asleep in a cosy spot where she was playing.
Joel Ivy over 12 years ago
question is if they looked first then where is she hiding that they didn’t find her
jeff_e over 12 years ago
Shannon will be found at Weenie World giggling with Ann Eiffel over milkshakes and checkers.
SideshowStarlet over 12 years ago
I don’t remember a time in any of TJ’s harebrained schemes that he actually quoted any statistics. So, at the end of this arc, we will find that either 100% or 0% of all statistics TJ quoted were made up.
thetraveller4 over 12 years ago
All this talk of statistics is giving me a 100% headache…
Mordock999 over 12 years ago
Awwwwww RELAX, People. Shannon is sure to be FOUND in the LAST place that they look.
On the other hand, with Old Smiley around they had better keep a CLOSE eye on their wallets…..,
Varnes over 12 years ago
Otto, Your comment is 100% funny!
Varnes over 12 years ago
I think Shannon is befriending a wet puppy in the rain…..or maybe a kitty….Aw…I hope it’s a kitty….
Jesus is my King over 12 years ago
TJ gets those statistics from his own personal experience, he doesn’t need surveys cuz he already knows everything.
lol
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
The point of it all is that the chances are that Shannon found a secret hiding place where Brad & Toni neglected to look! 100% accurate…
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
It is a polite term for “copulation!” Possibly, Brad & Toni will be able to perform it when Sunday’s installment is published…
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
No, they were just getting into the early stages of the act. Actually, I am so old that fortyish women seem like teenagers to me!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Just a self-styled occult philosopher in the lodge of a secret society, located near Spicer Minnesota. Howard Phillips Fort; Professor John Neinver, Reverend Mel Marshall, Doctor Morris Benson… Start seeing flying saucers!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Come Bernice, to the Old Shoreline Lodge. The library is calling you…
Chuck373 over 12 years ago
She is in the house. They didn’t look. They walked through the house to the back door. Finding it open, they decided Shannon decided she preferred to be wet, cold and in the dark rather than warm and dry inside.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Only erotic knowledge. Adventures with those whom I will not name, but could. And exclusively heterosexual. There are stories which may not be revealed until the world is ready for the grand disclosure…
kenwarnerfordictator over 12 years ago
I still say it would be fun to have Dirk find Shannon and bring her home.
wiselad over 12 years ago
84%?????? that seems high……… I think is more like 70 to 75%, than after that is a friend’s house that is 2 blocks or less away, than 3rd is a friend that is more than 2 blocks away, 4th is with the boyfriend or girlfriend, after that is when we get “real runaways”, and most are 12 and up in age, and from either a foster family or a home where the kid is abused…. and those cases is what is put the most in the news or talked about
goalgo over 12 years ago
once the kid is found make sure she gets a crack on the ass for dissapearing in the first place.
bagbalm over 12 years ago
More likely she is setting fire to WW using the waste fat to get a spectacular burn.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
I still think Shannon set off for WeenieWorld, to get more revenge on Ann Eiffel as well as to get more attention from Brad and Toni (who seemed more interested in that Mushy Stuff). Whether she got there in the rain is questionable. She may have doubled back to the house, where, now warm and dry, she awaits the return of the grown-ups. Grown-ups are so weird!
futuremary over 12 years ago
What’s with T.J.’s teeth and/or smile?
smsrt over 12 years ago
You’re making my head spin. The greatest percentage would get out of the rain and look in the closet or kitchen cabinets and then get back to kissing.
ferretface99 over 12 years ago
48% of young runaways represent nearly half of all children who run away from home.
Tinyman over 12 years ago
She is @ weenie world harassing Eyesore.
JoeStoppinghem Premium Member over 12 years ago
Oh sure, make TJ the level headed one.Plus, now TJ can go through the house and look.She might answer to him if she’s ticked off at Toni or Brad for some reason.This little scene might be ending soon.
Brown Leghorn over 12 years ago
‘Sup Guys’ You do know none of this is real life, and to analyze a fictional brat is feebly foolish! In real life she either would be already sent to bed, or totally ignored by a couple of self centered 20 year olds, probably watching kiddie porn on the web in her guardians bedroom!
ST Joe River Premium Member over 12 years ago
sure drag it out LOL where is the fast forward button need to get to monday.
NCTom Premium Member over 12 years ago
She wants more revenge at WW, but she may not have been able to get there.AE will be saving her though.
rusty gate over 12 years ago
Next strip- Brad says,“Why is the door locked?”. Giggle is heard from inside. T.J., “Don’t look at me, I don’t have mine either.”. Brad, T.J. And Toni in unison, “SHANNON, LET US IN, WE’RE GETTING SOAKED.”. Giggle heard inside.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
I guess it’s too early to start a discussion on how to groom your cat.
jaxxery over 12 years ago
I notice that Brads hair is different! I guess you took the suggestion make earlier in the week! I was getting tired of his goofy look. Especially when he had such a beautiful woman!
jaxxery over 12 years ago
It is sort of obvious that she has gone to Weenie world to confront the owner.
Train 1911 over 12 years ago
she with her father
doverdan over 12 years ago
I have a great scenario in mind, but I won’t reveal it.
Ottodesu over 12 years ago
What are your chances of finishing that book on statistics? I wish I could say that am 110% certain that you can.
dre7861 over 12 years ago
I have to say that Brad’s hair looks better flattened down into a more Ceasar cut. He should try it out.
Also has anyone thought that Awful Ann Eiffel might have taken her as revenge on the bite. Ann does have a slippery sense of right and wrong.
3hourtour Premium Member over 12 years ago
..scary stuff..
Doctor11 over 12 years ago
Oh, you all will be surprised with just how smart a five-year-old can be.
Spode over 12 years ago
I like the way the rain is depicted, but I hope it lets up soon.
auramac over 12 years ago
A 5 year old would not run out alone and go to Weenie World- that’s just asinine. Thus far, I don’t understand the point of this storyline- how it advances the characters, the lessons to be learned. Other than both Toni and Brad are unfit to be parents. In the meantime, it hasn’t been all that entertaining or amusing- and I’m most interested in these characters, more so than Luann and the rest…
ChappellGirl5 over 12 years ago
Well I decided to go back & look at the story line because there was so much talk about how Shannon is making them pay for ignoring her & getting mushy. And how they only gave the house a cursory look. In actuality Shannon got up & left after telling her story, Brad & Toni were just sitting on the couch discussing the grief TJ was giving Ann when she walked out of the room & didn’t start the “mushy stuff” until after she was out of sight. When Brad went to go look for her, he came back & said he’d looked in every room of the house, sounds thorough to me. My theory is that he DID look in every room in the house EXCEPT the one they were in & she was hiding behind a chair or bookshelf or something spying on them. As for the door, the wind blew it open because TJ didn’t latch it when he left for work.
TheAuldWan over 12 years ago
I’m 100% sure this will be resolved.
BillWa over 12 years ago
I thgink she is heading for WW. That look on Shannon’s face was a “Game ON!” face. Rule number2B, “Never go up against a five year old girl when a crown is on the line.”
SwimsWithSharks over 12 years ago
I think she’s dead. Saw this on “Law and Order SVU”.
Numbnumb over 12 years ago
I still think that TJ is putting a move on Toni.

If you don’t like my posts, don’t read ‘em, but to characterize everyone other than yourself as a “lame commenter” does them a disservice. I’m not going to apologize for either having an education, an opinion or the ability to express myself, nor restrict myself to commenting “uh oh” because I assume everyone here is too dumb to be able to read anything more challenging. If you find this somehow threatening, then I really do think it’s your problem – at least I credit others here with having intelligence and the ability to disagree with me openly rather than sulk about it for weeks. .If someone posts something that’s factually incorrect, is something I disagree with, or posts misogynistic/misandristic bias or legal or historical misinformation as “fact”, then I have just as much right to comment on it as you, or anyone else. If that comes off as “self-righteous”, then that’s your opinion – you’re entitled to it. However, I don’t ever tell people to go post somewhere else because I don’t like what it is they write. That instruction is, to me, pretty damn “self-righteous” in itself..FYI, tacking “Thank You” on at the end of a personal attack doesn’t disguise what it is.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Here is just one reader’s comment. It is only possible to psychoanalyze actual people— fictional characters are the product of their creators (in this comic universe, Greg Evans) and are not amenable to scrutiny by the amateurs who have never progressed beyond Psychology 101 at a Community College.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Now, on a more benign note— where will Shannon be found? Wait until Monday Morning!
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Good night, everyone— I hope there is nobody here who is too shy or bashful to express their opinions! All I can say is that I am eagerly awaiting Monday to see what transpires. Also, I apologize for drunkenly editoralizing about my favorite female feline friend, but I love Neutron!
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
Amen. Either she has encyclopedic knowledge crossing all kinds of subjects or takes the time to research on internet and then cite them (she fails to cite her sources, though). It is safe to say she is computer, internet, and research savvy considering that she is an art restorer which involves a lot of research. So I picture her sitting, reading comments on her laptop or desktop, going to internet to do her research, grabs the info or pictures (she occasionally posts pictures), posts them, then continues reading – of which she does a lot, obviously. As an art restorer, she is definitely college educated and she writes like a researcher. One has to wonder what draws her into here with all of us lowly ordinary folks. I am just a college instructor.
Granted some commenters post idiotic messages but not all of us are educated beyond high school, many of us live to survive, have other things to worry about than a comic strip and post comments just for fun…
She goes after the trolls BUT she is another kind of troll, though. Putting others down is a form of bullying. Acting conscending is another form of bullying. I’d like this to stop. I actually prefer the “sockpuppets.” They are harmless. Just contradictory.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Postscript here. I should be petitioning Darby Conley to introduce a nasty, new cat character to “Get Fuzzy.” Naturally, she would be based upon Neutron!
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member over 12 years ago
84% of statistics are made up on the spot.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
People who expound definite opinions are always 100% right, in their minds… Well, let’s not bring Politics & Religion into our discussions; this site should be devoted exclusively to Greg Evan’s creations!
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Franklin Delano Roosevelt:“I consider it a public duty to answer falsifications with facts. I will not pretend that I find this an unpleasant duty. I am an old campaigner, and I love a good fight.” I think FDR’s statement is a reasonable assessment of mojitobaby’s credo..However, many of us have this credo: “My mind is made up … don’t confuse me with the facts.” – unknown (to me). An interesting web-site is here
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Kids can make life very complex. People used to ask my late wife and I if we had any children. We always told them the truth— we had none because we never wanted to have any. Some people thought we were awful for expressing our opinions… Marsha and myself were just not “parent material!”
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
I’m just an old self-styled occult philosopher who wants to establish a lodge of a secret society which contains a library staffed by naked girls. That’s all… I’d like to be able to tell Greg Evans that Bernice should have such an opportunity to have a great job after high school.
bronzeskater over 12 years ago
…I am 80% sure that this arc will continue Monday, and 100% sure that we will be royally pissed off if Greg shifts to Luann and Quill!
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
I always hate it when an athlete gives 110%.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
@EverybodyThis isn’t a criticism, just an observation by a relative newcomer. I see Mojitobaby as well educated and highly motivated to uphold the integrity of Go-Comics, especially Luann. Sometimes, I mean usually, augmentative if he/she disagrees with you. (I personally have not established gender). Sometimes somewhat verbose. Overall I find his/her posts entertaining and informative, I give him/her 3 stars (out of 4) but hell everybody can’t be perfect like me.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago

@EverybodyI forgot to say that mojitobaby may not always be right but she is never in doubt.

ARRRRGH!!
Airman over 12 years ago
Attention comic strip readers, these things are supposed to be humorous, well sort of, some of the time, but we seem to have a lot of grumpy posters. Maybe we could get some Rorschach ink blots to analyze……and you could debate ‘till the cows come home, and Mojito couldn’t threaten to sue us or make us stand in the corner. And where’s Tiffany when I need her? Doctor told me to take two air head blonds and call him in the morning.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
I can total it if I want to.
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
Don’t take offence – Why? is there one missing? (I have to be my own straight man).
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
I do this on Luann because it’s the only strip where people seem to be up at this hour. I agree with Flyingairman that we sometimes get too serious or grumpy with our posts. I prefer silly to serious
Fan o’ Lio. over 12 years ago
Which month do you want me to start?

Buenos noches. No mas.
