Transcript:
Quill: "I wrote a new tune that needs lyrics. Wanna get together?" Luann: "Sure. How 'bout tomorrow? Say, ten to noon, my house" Mom: "Dad and I are meeting a financial adviser to plan for your college, our retirement, etc." Luann: "Ok" Mom: "So we'll be gone tomorrow from ten to noon" Luann: "okaaaaay...."

Hmmm, we don’t look too happy at the thought of being alone with Quill?
phydeaux44 over 12 years ago
Either that or it’s the face you get when you find yourself on the high diving board for the very first time.
JimT8 over 12 years ago
I’ll go with the diving board thought.
Harryfan over 12 years ago
I’ll bet that Quill won’t have any problem figuring it out.
cdjockey over 12 years ago
is it just me, or does the strip seem to be preparing us for a time shift or something? suddenly, it’s college and careers. also, when’s the last time we dealt with Luann herself for this long at a time?
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
Ohhhh. Is she ready for unsupervised alone time with Quill? It would be a good bet they will make out. This being a family strip they will not go very far. They will break off or get interrupted. The parents get back earlier than expected or whatever.

Is it warm in here, or is it just her?

The sudden reality of imminence.

Diving board. Definitely diving board.
DockoftheBay over 12 years ago
Trust Luann to be virtuous unlike her friend Bernice who got hot and heavy with her boy friend in a wheelchair and nearly burned to death before Brad rescues him and becomes a hero.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Luann gets an unexpected opportunity for some growing up. Not to worry, folks. She’ll handle it just fine, more or less, and with assorted self-doubts….
LiviaBay over 12 years ago
Hopefully they won’t go up in flames…
nate3766 over 12 years ago
Luann is a senior in high school…moving on to college next year..isn’t she a bit sheltered for such a young lady today…not meaning to push her to far but still…
SHW over 12 years ago
I think Luann is trying to decide whether to tell her folks that Quill is coming over. Mom was definitely not at ease when he was over last time!
DaJellyBelly over 12 years ago
It would be the right thing for Luann to tell her mother about her and Quill’s plans for that day. Let Nancy make the call about whether she thinks it appropriate for them to be alone together in the house. It is a matter of showing respect to her parents.
percenez over 12 years ago
he should have reversed panels one and two. i wouldn’t get your hopes up.
Tinyman over 12 years ago
@Jelly:She is just finding out that the time was coincedential. Maybe she will tell tomorrow. Or not.
Sportymonk over 12 years ago
Can’t decide if its Luann worried about being alone with Quill or worried about mom finding out. The teen wants to be with Quill but the slowly emerging adult knows its a problem. Since she suggested 10 to noon, she simply needs to call Quill and change the time to alter.
Airman over 12 years ago
Will the sexual tension be too strong to be able to concentrate on writing “lyrics”? Will their raging hormones need an anger management course? Will Luann lose her virginity?
Chuck373 over 12 years ago
How do you retire from sitting on the sofa drinking coffee?
Chuck373 over 12 years ago
Nancy, if she found out Luann had Quill over the house at the same time they were gone, would never accuse Luann of planning it that way. And Luann didn’t. Besides, it would take Luann a couple of hours to work up to a kiss. She’d need a whole day to really get into trouble.
chicogrande over 12 years ago
We all know that, at worst, Luann and Quill will share their first kiss. At best, Luann will fall apart into a quivering mass of comic clumsiness.

We’re gonna need more lotion.

Karma?Or a temptation test?

Ruh, roh! Trouble brewing!
samfran6-0 over 12 years ago
dream sequence.
samfran6-0 over 12 years ago
this is what I would say since the strip moves slowly from one year to the next.
samfran6-0 over 12 years ago
good thought.
johndifool over 12 years ago
So, what will be the subtle giveaway?.Dilbert had his tie deflate….In Doonesbury we got a shot of the bedroom with the drapes flapping in the breeze…
miyoosh over 12 years ago
Oh, Quill! Shh……… no time for talking
jebjayman over 12 years ago
It’s painfully obvious Nancy overheard Luann’s conversation. Echoing the exact time “ten to noon” is a dead giveaway. Nancy wants to see if Luann will be forthright by tellimg her that Quill is coming over at that time.
percenez over 12 years ago
She said, “My, my, my don’t tell lies, keep fidelity in your head My my my, don’t tell lies. When you’re done you show go to bed) Don’t say hi, like a spider to a fly Jump right ahead and you’re dead”

Getting rid of a daughter?
JimT8 over 12 years ago
Amazing how many commentators did not see that or forgot it.
JimT8 over 12 years ago
Such a stretch, Dave.
JimT8 over 12 years ago
After a whole week of that she must be craving the “two’s company” alternative.
JimT8 over 12 years ago
Happy to be alone at last.
TheDOCTOR over 12 years ago
Nice to see Luann as ‘Sexy and attractive’. Nice to see her be adult and responsible. Nice, sweet innocent image. But I don’t think I’m ready to see Luann “hit the sheets”. Wait ‘till you’re married girl.
Mordock999 over 12 years ago
Soooooo, Mr. Oz is coming OVER at the SAME time that Ma and Pa DeGroot will be OUT. How CONVENIENT.Will our young Heroine MENTION this Fact to her Folks?Of Course not.Ah. What I wouldn’t give to have an ANGRY Gunther show up at the DeGroot household at the CRITICAL Monent.…..,with a BASEBALL BAT….,
MDeB over 12 years ago
Strange. I was thinking the same thing.I hope it’s ‘chasing’ and not ‘in’.
MysteryCat over 12 years ago
Whether Luann is a junior or a senior, it’s waaaay late to start on a financial plan for her college.

“I’ll never leave you”
Carollouise1 Premium Member over 12 years ago
So does Luann confess that she invited Quill over for the same time period or hope Mom and Dad leave way before he gets there and will the hormones be kept in check if he shows up?
Doctor11 over 12 years ago
Is something burning? Yikes! Someone get some water, Luann’s brain just got fried!
Mordock999 over 12 years ago
The NEXT Panel:
(Gunther dressed as the Phantom of the Opera comes up BEHIND them swinging a baseball bat and Sings)
Gunther – “CURSE You!!! You DOUBLE-CROSSING DE-LI-LAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!”
JimT8 over 12 years ago
I claim no artistic ability ..it’s Greg’s from his blog !I know. I had forgotten that it was you who cut and pasted it, though.
Mr. Tinkles over 12 years ago
Is this the beginning of an epic teenage pregnancy arc?
mojitobaby over 12 years ago
She’s somewhere between 16-17, so no, she isn’t a senior – and she isn’t ever gonna be one, either. Everyone who has her graduating will be disappointed – the “saving for college” and “deciding where I wanna go” angle is just another future tease that Greg will work without actually having to deliver..My prediction is that Quill and Luann actually do get horizontal for about 15 seconds before something in the way of a game-changer happens. Either Nancy comes home early or Quill gets the call that his family’s going back to Oz, so they agree to put on the brakes like the wise little Rotarian 35 year olds they are. .Obviously the former would be a lot more fun, so it’ll probably be the latter.
CurtisMimms over 12 years ago
Someone unexpected has to stop by just before the “kiss”
Cofyjunky over 12 years ago
Oh gimme a break. NOTHING’S going to happen. They’ve been riding this ‘friendship’ thing forever. Quill’s just a little more interested than Aaron Hill ever was. It’s Luann who doesna see the point of a relationship with someone who could up and move back to Australia. Besides, if you want actual sex, you read Brooke McEldowney. ;)
kenhense over 12 years ago
How about Brad is stuck with Shannon and he brings her to Luann’s from ten to noon??

Isn’t it a little late to be seeing a financial adviser about planing Luann’s college expenses?
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
It doesn’t make any difference – morning make-out or night make-out. Making-out is making-out, anytime, anyplace where teenagers are concerned, especially when the ‘rents aren’t home.

You little voyeur, I did take pictures…

I’m not back – Just a short visit. Had a great honeymoon. I’m still reading Luann – Just not commenting. Will be around for a little while. You can usually find me at Andy Capp.
mojitobaby over 12 years ago
LOL! Don’t let your mind race, that actually is a thumb!

“These other posters don’t kick my a$$ like you do to keep me in line.”.She keeps you in line?That was you keeping in line???Glad she’s back then, knowing it would’ve been worse..Don’t worry, you know we all love you, even TJ loves you.
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace over 12 years ago
“Can’t be Crystal or Luann would never see Quill again.”.Crystal has her sights set higherKNUTE.In general, though, Quill has different standards of favor, what he likes in a girl.
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
what family would read this?maybe Manson familyI would agree, absolutely, based on the comments in here, however, Greg Evans and the syndicate have maintained this to be a family strip (rolling eyes).

It’s “Blue Lagoon” time..

Luann: Do you think we should be kissing Quill? We’ve only been dating for about 5 years.

Party Time!
mechaman over 12 years ago
Having put myself in a situation like this when I was Luann’s ‘age’, I’ll bet Greg will write it that she will NOT tell mom before they leave .. I will also bet that Greg writes it so that either mom or dad know. My dad passed in ‘06. My mom and I were talking about him a few months after, and I said something to the effect that he knew things, but didn’t always reveal them; my mom replied, “Yes, he knew about that time you sneaked over to D——’s house, even after we told you not to.” I asked her (after I caught my breath!) why he didn’t nail me the same day? She said, “Someone was watching you, since nothing outrageous happened, he decided to let it go … he knew how you felt about that girl.” Here all these years later, I thought I’d gotten away with THAT one. Nope!!

@DavidHuieGreen “Context question answered yesterday. Not offended, really…………. s’alright.”.I hadn’t looked at the avatar so the joke went three inches over my head. The robot from Lost In Space. Don’t recognize the lady or alien or whatever is with him, though..Leads to question regarding how avatars are set up. Advise please, so I can be cool like you.

Late in the game to be planning for college, but I’m sure you were too busy watching The View or nagging the kids about something.
