Luann: "You two both have black hair. How come mine's orangey red?" Dad: "Cuz this isn't your real mom. Reba Mcentire is" Mom: "You got your hair - and a lot of your looks from my great grampa Clyde. Here's an old hand-tinted photo of him" Luann: "I'm descended from a lawn gnome!" Mom: "You are n-" Mom: "Oh. You kind of are..." Dad: "Thus my Reba story.

Could there be a Luann switched-at-birth saga brewing?

I always thought Luann was a cutie, but lately shes been becoming more and more of a Hottie. When she stops trying so hard and lets it happen naturally.

I remember on the show Full House where the twin boys of Jessie and Becky wanted to get the shaggy haired boys a haircuts. Finally after their haircuts Jessie said “Oh look they got blue eyes.” If thats not a goof I dont know what is. The brown eye gene is dominant over blue eyes. My grandmother used to say I looked so much like my Grandfather before he lost his hair.

So great Grandpa Clyde married Elvira and Mom has her hair.
Jaymi Cee Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Well, she looks exactly like her mom in the face. So, the hair may have come direct from the gnome, but the features run in the family.

Obviously Greg reserves the name “Clyde” for ridiculous characters.

Does being a Luann Gnome give her additional savings from Expedia, or whatever travel service the gnome offers?
LadyChel almost 12 years ago

Mr. Evans, I must admit that I have not read Luann in sometime, however, as I am getting back to the story of her life’s adventures – I was wondering if you or someone knowledgeable of your work might briefly clue me in as to who “Quill” is? Most appreciated;
ncalifgirl58 almost 12 years ago
Orangy-red? Her hair is yellow. This strip is losing it’s edge.
Homeboy1865 almost 12 years ago
I thought she had yellow / blonde hair. Maybe Reba had a child when she was younger and gave her up for adoption so that she could pursue her singing career. Now Reba wants her back. Nancy is in denial and persists with the Great Grandpa Clyde story. I’m about Nancy’s age and my Great Grandpa died in 1973 when he was 80 years old. We have color photos of him.

Remember, people, we’ve just discovered that hair, eye, and skin color are NOT dictated by DNA.
bluegirl285 almost 12 years ago
i can’t believe that all these years of reading Luann and I never noticed that about her parents…
Shineclan almost 12 years ago
She looks blonde to me.

And I always thought you have blonde hair Luann.
Happicat2012 almost 12 years ago
LMAO!! Luanne’s dad is very witty!
comixdoom almost 12 years ago
Ok, whatever color Luann’s har is supposed to be, the color they use is not “orangey red.” It’s orange/yellow, or am I color blind?
AndiJ almost 12 years ago
Yeah, looks yellow(blond) to me. ;) This reminds me of a friend. Her parents were both dark haired but all three sisters were varying shades of blond(friend was strawberry blond) and her daughters are both redheads. :)

I imagine Greg Evans has been receiving letters since 1985 asking why Luann is the only blonde in a family of brunettes.
Hunter7 almost 12 years ago
love it! Luann has a new nickname … Lawn Gnome! Poor girl. If her friends find out they will never let her forget!
Spode almost 12 years ago
Great-Grampa Clyde is clearly of the stock which gave rise to Luann and Brad and Nancy – just look at his nose.
K M almost 12 years ago
There’s no face like gnome.
David Huie Green AmericaIsGreatItHasUs almost 12 years ago
This was a good one and answers definitively the genetics involved in her DNA AND HAIR COLOR.

“Luann, since Reba is your real mom,”-You’d think Reba’d notice a thing like that. Oh well, we already knew time flowed differently in comic strip universe, now it seems gestation does too.
