    one would ALMOST say that in a short while the characters will grow 2 to 4 years, just like Luann years back went from 13 to 16

    I want what they’re taking to stay young for so long. Even my genetics-based youthful appearance is starting to show the march of time.

    Second college reference in the last month or so. Are we finally seeing Luann’s Senior Year? Are we seeing the wind up of Luann in general. You aren’t going to retire on us are you Mr. Evans?

    So, Luann mau actually make it to college? That would be cool. A whole new source of angst for her young adult life

    Hmmm….if Luann moves on to college, what happens to all the high school friends? Delta, Gunther, Tiffany and the rest? Do they go to college too? Or do they get written out?

    If Luann is turning 18, we might ratchet up the romances a bit-like other family comic strips – For Better or For Worse, Chickweed, Doonesbury.

    I hope that Mr. Evans does let Luann and the gang move on into college—either all at the same community college, or maybe some there and others at a Pittsville branch of State U.

    I like the banter in today’s strip. You can tell they have matured and the playful digs show they actually do care about each other.

    by black background (TJ painted a wall black), it is Brad’s place………… and I guess sometimes is better to talk to Brad than to Delta or Bernice, would love if Lue talked to Toni more, as she has talked to her in the past

    Looks like we get a break from TJ and AE. Greg is good at leaving us wanting more, and moving on to another story arc. Looks like we may visit Luann and her search for a college for awhile.

    No Luann, Dear.The “Story” of YOUR life is:

    Find a guy = Get FLAKEY.Find a guy = Make EXCUSES.

    Find a guy = STALL.Find a guy = Have Him LEAVE the Country in Frustration.

    …..then go running to Gunther, the only Guy who REALLY Cares about Her, to be Comforted.

    “Luann, you are REALLY overdue for a heartbreak to bring you to your senses” – said Mordock feeling particularly EVIL this fine late Summer Morning.

    Um, I’m not always the very most observant, but when did Brad get the tat? Is that a firemen tradition (I assume)? It looks like a couple of firemen’s axes and a helmet. But when did I miss that (or did I just forget – old age)?

    For those of you contemplating getting a tattoo, answer to yourself these two questions: `1. Suppose I could have acquired a tattoo when I was five or six – what would I have had engraved on me, Barney the Purple Dinosaur or some such?`2. Am I really going to want this thing 20 years from now?`To put it bluntly, show me someone with a tattoo (especially if it’s prominent) and I’ll show you someone with problems concerning long-term planning.

    Brad is a firefighter, and he did build himself up to get that job. I wouldn’t doubt that he still works out to stay in shape.+And he certainly doesn’t look dirty.

    i agree, Dave (re: more time talking about Quill leaving than actually having him leave). I wish the actual romance could have gotten the time spent on discussing Quill’s departure.

    Weight below and not attached to the wing would not contribute to wing loading or drag!

    Weight above and resting on the wing would be a problem.

    It’s called an A-shirt, compared and contrasted to a T-shirt.And Clark Gable’s appearance in “It Happened One Night” put an end to nightshirts because he wore pajamas (or pyjamas); when this manly/macho/smoothguy/etcetera actor appeared in pjs, men got rid of their nighshirts, which were somewhat comparable to nightgowns.

    This is a nice interplay. Not too deep, not too shallow, not lying to protect the other’s feelings but exagerating the problem lightly to deal with it.

    " It appears she dropped by early in the morning while Brad was getting ready for work.".Or maybe he’s on the late shift. Fires and other emergencies happen at inconvenient times.

    “Obviously sis stopped by in the morning.” Or in the afternoon or evening. He’s a firefighter sometimes they work shifts. Or he’s actually getting ready for a date with Toni. If I remember right isn’t the Horner house across the street or down the block from the DeGroot’s house? Not so far fetched that Luann would stop by to collect the rent or something & stay & chat.

    I would expect Brad to look a lot less ‘schlumphy’ than he did thru much of the series. You put on some muscle as a firefighter, keeping your conditioning up.Let the tat be a mystery, at least for now. And, a very nice exchange between Brad and Luann, showing some real maturity in gently ribbing each other. Being an ‘only’, I know from friends how long it can take to really appreciate a sibling .. some don’t, though! I just have a whole bunch of play brothers and sisters..

    Didn’t Toni get a tattoo and then Brad got one to match? It would be nice to see the kids move on to college. I also want to know if TJ quit Weenie World after Ann double-crossed him – as we all knew she would. Or Ann needs to get canned so TJ can run the place!

    “Nope. Not a zipper. For some reason, there is a depression there the pants are sinking into. I have no idea what it could be, but it is not a zipper that forms the line we see on Luann.”-Yep, definitely a zipper, no depression, same color and shade on both sides of the zipper, no curvature drawn other than in the minds of the intereting. same basic mark as the zippers on Brad, Rosa, Toni, Gunther.-Certified to be a drawing of a fly/zipper by the American Association of Fly and Zipper Inspectors Association.
