Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 13, 2012

An exciting week ahead, finally.

NOT de-pained

Finally we get back to TJ and Ann Eiffel…. I’ve been looking forward to this.

if only TJ had more lines in the last panel…then it could say “If you know what i mean.”

Ugh, not more tormenting of Ann Eiffel. These story arcs are always the most nonsensical and poorly written. :/

She really is remarkably stupid. “Tormenting”? Are you kidding?

I thought this Aussie was back Down Under???

Tomorrows strip can’t come soon enough!!!

How to have fun at work:Do your job too well to be sacked.Disclaimer: doesn’t always work.

Jokes on them, I would have read it anyway.

TJ’s brilliant idea probably is the “business boosting idea” that she needs to submit back to corporate. She never learns.

I’m eager to see the next day!

Annie must be an Awful manager if she doesn’t immediately see the possible connection between TJ’s “brilliant idea” and corporate’s demand for a “business boosting idea.” She’s already seen how he has built up his register intake.

If only Dilbert’s pointy-haired boss looked like Ann

Do I detect a trap about to be sprung?

He put his elbow down on it.

Amen!!!! I can finally look forward to reading this strip for a while

He is still there to cause trouble for her, right? (I know; rhetorical question.)

I’m guessing that when all is said and done, our favorite con-man will have a new job: Ann’s.

“TJ” & “Brilliant”?

The two don’t even GO together.

Well, We’re waiting.

What’s your “Brilliant” idea, Jackass?

Having Ox stand out front dressed as the Wienie-World Mascot and FORCE passerbys to SAMPLE the Company wares???

Business “busting” idea — topless manager week!

She can’t come up with one idea for busines boosting? Not a very good manager.

The story arcs of TJ/Ann or Brad/Toni are MUCH more exciting these days than ANYTHING Luann/Her Friends/Tiff are doing. Spent an entire week of listening to her friend not being interested in a relationship…whoopdedoo!! Who cares?! At least we get more exciting interactions and storylines with these two.

Has Ann not learned that schemes are TJ’s calling?

I think we will find out that he owns the company or has a lot of stock in it.

Oh boy, here we go. Sigh! Now, either she’s not gonna use his idea, whatever it is, and it’s gonna show her epic failure at foresight. Or, she will use his idea, and take credit for it. But knowing him, he’ll find a way to sneak in his credit. Let the week begin….

I’m surprised she’s still here. I guess Corporate is unaware of the $150/day deal she destroyed when she chased away their best customer.Oh, well. Let’s see what happens this time…

people who comment negatively on this strip: The direction is the author’s, not yours. No amount of “ewwwww – more TJ or Yay! more TJ” is going to sway the author’s vision. If you don’t like an aspect of it, write your own darned stuff.

From yesterday’s strip— hope Mr. Evans doesn’t do a Funky-time-warp on us, skipping college and going straight to young-marrieds. Can’t remember a strip about college-student angst since Doonesbury.So TJ is going to suggest something controversial that will boost business but have definite problems. Will he suggest… 1) Expanding the building 2) Creating a sub-franchise elsewhere 3) Expanding the menu (hopefully not with “enhanced” brownies) 4) Creating a new promo (such as letting commentators have free coffee)Any ideas? Hugh, you’re right— a good manager ought to be able to come up with several ideas herself! But that’s now how Anne’s mind works. Unfortunately, that’s the only way TJ uses his mind.

At long last, I thought I’d never see TJ.

He’s not actually going to help her?!

WW sales have increased since TJ came aboard and the company sees more profit. The more you produce…then more is expected.TJ is slowly wrapping Ms.Awful around both his little fingers…and then….

Nah, it’s just hidden behind his elbow :^)

I am still waiting for Ox to show up with his lawyer uncle and rich dad. Then see what happens.

Still waiting on the torrid love-hate relationship.

I’ve got a brilliant ideaNo time to listen, I’m supposed to get a brilliant idea-At which point you begin to feel ashamed of yourself for not being more forgivng to one wiith an obvious mental handicap.

I’m new at this site. What happened to Brad and Toni?? I miss them.

My favorite couple….lol

keep wanting to see bent over like in the movie “secretary.”

@Ann Eiffel—-or TJ scooped it up and is hiding it in his fist. . .

wow, gotta leave this one alone or I’m in trouble with the Overseerer.

TJ has been working at weenie world way too long to simply punish Ann for being Ann. I wonder what is REALLY going on…

How did she get to be the boss?

Last panel to this story line was Ox leaving in a huff because she wasnt nice because he didnt want to sign that paper saying he saw her getting bit. AWIll we ever get to see what happened with that?

Ann already look more “satisfied” that she did in the last arc. Wonder if TJ has, uh, been putting in more, uh, overtime?

I’ll bet you that one of two things will happen. Either TJ will tell Ann his idea and she’ll take credit for it or he’ll submit it himself and it will be so wonderful Corporate will show up praising him and consequently Ann, because she hired such a brilliant worker which will just kill her.

Hmm, seems like BS from the franchiser that enslaves me. Maybe I’ll get some pointers from TJ.
