So. They do have skype. And her parents’ approval.

Great expressions on Luann in the end panels.
JimT8 about 12 years ago
Notice in the middle panel how we did not have to see them talking about this at the time. Apropos of Leviticus’ claims that Brad and Toni didn’t do certain things because we didn’t see them do it.

Before Skype, I once video-chatted with a girl I met in a Yahoo! chat room; audio was done by headset. She was the one who introduced me to Faceook as well. We physically met in her town of Hilo, Hawaii the next year. Some time after I got home to Washington State, we don’t keep much contact anymore. ’Twas a good friendship.

why does the room color keep changing?
Sisyphos about 12 years ago
Okay, Luann; so, Nancy is “old” but, surprisingly, Frank is much more up-to-date! The real point is that Luann and Quill plan to keep close contact!

next week on LuAnn quill is arrested by Australian police for having video of a 16 year old girl doing “face time”

I had to laugh at her remark about using skype and facetime. I did it for the first year my husband and I dated (he was in Sydney and I in DC). The time change was brutal and one of us had to lose sleep just so we could talk.

Frank looks like a CPA to me – has most of the characteristics I’d expect of a bean counter. His awareness of what Luann meant by face time is a bit of a surprise, because I think he’s distracted by basic necessities most of the time.

a lot can happen over Skype, Mama. ;)
Mordock999 about 12 years ago
NO, we DON’T Know, Nancy. Tell Us.
Hey Frank?
Did Nancy ever tell you she’s had 15 boyfriends, 3 of which are DEAD???

Greg Evans proclaimed what? What are you talking about?

The artist needs to know how to draw eyes. The Luann family all have big, goofy-looking eyes.
Kydex29 about 12 years ago
Hmm…. Apparently I was under the mistaken impression that this was the end of the relationship. We’ll see what happens….

Mom’s having an “on her knees” flashback. Facetime.

King Shark – and if you are stupid enough to believe that Greg Evans is going to kneel before his readers and ask for their forgiveness about his “great incompetency” then you know nothing about winning friends and influencing people — and doing business. He knows a thing or two more than you about the trade. Get over yourself and your smugness if you can leap that high.

Luann was just provoking her mom.
yangeldf about 12 years ago
lol, THAT kind of heavy face time would be pretty hard to do with a planet in the way.

Looks like your mom seem suprised!
fredville about 12 years ago
Soon the Aaron Hills and Quills moving away won’t be a factor, because LuAnn will be old enough to leave home and move in with them…..
Doctor11 about 12 years ago
Luann, stop scaring your mom please.
arsmall about 12 years ago
POW! I lobbed this one the other day! This gives me hope, we WILL get to see Quill then and a relationship deepen…pretty optimistic…I’m back Greg!
melmarsh9v about 12 years ago
If not Geek Squad, maybe something similar that involves modern technology.
arsmall about 12 years ago
AND someone had the nerve to tell me to “get over it” when I listed all these ways of communication. …although I didn’t list skype…
samfran6-0 about 12 years ago
No wonder no one answers my e-mails. They are all laughing too hard.

Face time = Swap Spit..(I know..old term)
transylvanian about 12 years ago
LuAnn would love to laugh at her mother’s comment, but she’s too upset and depressed. And I hope Quill blocks Tiffany on Skype too. :)
JimT8 about 12 years ago
That’s my claim. It stays that way unitl Brad or Toni tell me different..That’s fine as an assumption but in your serious mode you state it as fact and that goes beyond what we can know.
JimT8 about 12 years ago
She did ask to see him as he was leaving but that was a no go.
libbydog about 12 years ago
@Leviticus-Yeah, I almost forgot about Bernice & friends.Someone mentioned “sucking face” boy, I haven’t heard that for a long time- it made me laugh!
muffin05 about 12 years ago
Time for Aaron to come home.
lspang about 12 years ago
trekman: naked pics and video posted all over the internet come to mind-although Id like to think that neither Luann nor her Aussie would betray each other with such posting, it happens all the time!

Not to change the subject on “face time”, but to change the subject…1) Sounds like it might be Dad inviting Quill to stay in Brad’s old room.2) Per yesterday’s strip: Last week my option 3 was wrong when I said if Quill had faked the phone call as a ruse to get Luann in touch with her feelings, that he would be a jerk. No, if this is a game he’s playing Quill is a DOUBLE jerk with boogers for brains. On the other hand, Luann is having difficulty transitioning from being buddies to being sweethearts. – cnnie

My niece Skypes her boyfriend while he’s in Turkey.

TheDOCTOR about 12 years ago
Love the look Luann is giving her Mom. Like shes thinking:“If only you knew how close we came,” and love Moms’ ‘accidental’ Double Entendre. :)

“I don’t really see the point of teens who have barely shared a kiss maintaining a long distance relationship.”-The reason to maintain ANY relationship is because you care about the other person. Contrary to popular opinion, it is possible to care about other people without having physical intercourse with them.-Consider all the lonely ladies having correspondence with lifers in prison, knowing they can’t share touches because the fellow always murders his physical contacts, but not caring because he’s the best they can do.

“Meant, Swapping Tongues perhaps….?”-Nope, it’s swapping spit, you get to keep your tongue when you’re through but the spit is forever.

Wow! This time, Frank’s up with the times, and it was NANCY who had her head back in the past! In Luann strips, it’s usually the opposite!
