Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 31, 2012

i’m guessing that Mr. Leviticus is talking about posting first on Luann

Geesh! How long has Quill been gone? Pretty sure it’s only been a couple weeks, but “he kept in touch at first, then he sorta slowed down…” sounds like he’s been gone for a year or 2 (yes, I know…Pittsville time zone)

I guess I’ll have to give you points for style and presentation.

“says the guy who spent 4 years…” OK; so how long has Luann been senior in High School?

let me get this straight……………………….. Brad and Toni met 4 years ago, Luann is 16, so……………. when Toni and Brad met, Luann was 12………… when Luann(the comic strip)started, she was 13, so when this comic started, Toni and Brad had been together 1 year, and…………….. and ………………. my brain is frying up, help help, Mr. Robinson

Luann is 18?! Then maybe it’s not so bad that I comment on her sweater in the right frame. Kinda like when AE’s skirt got shorter & shorter.

Oh, please. Plenty of brothers and sisters have seen each other in states of deshabille.

To LuAnn: YES!

even we geniuses do dumb things.it’s worht it.

?????? HUH?

TOOL

up to this point i was under the impression that the everyone in luann’s class were all sophomoric- er, sorry…sophomores. when did they become juniors?

Luann is sorely beset by roiling hormones, and whatever wit she has is clouded. The Big Brother knows!

And for that, you get a COOKIE !

How old are Brad and Luann? How did Gilligan’s clothes last for three years? Great questions of the ages.

this Colombian guy you had . . .what was his name?and now that you’re no longer straight, my feelings for you have not changed.

So then Luann’s been a high school junior for 4+ years eh???

Does sorta?

“Baldy style analysis/debate about the parallel universes in Luann”.You should know that you can’t communicate between parallel universes by mere time travel. You have to use the 5th or 6th dimension.

Hey Luann at least Brad’s admitting his procrastinating was silly, what’s you excuse? Take a chance girl…..

Your..

Well at LEAST Brad eventually “GOT” somebody.

As OPPOSED to YOU, Luann endlessly waiting for that “Handsome Prince” to come and SWEEP You off those Over-Sized Feet.

I BLAME Your Mom, brainwashing You to sleep with all that Fairy Tale bedtime story propaganda.

Uhhh. Gotta RUN.

Getting RILED again…..,

Has any one of you heard of “Artistic License” ? Greg can paint & spell, the story the way he wants.

I figure Luann’s been in high school the entire time Brad been hoping for Toni, (and now been with her) so it’s time she graduated, …and all her little friends too. We know this story progresses, Brad used to be in HS, so was TJ, …time to move on I’m afraid, Mr. Greg, time for a community college where all her friends, even Tiffany, go to, one that’s obviously in town…all but Delta. Not that I want to see her go, but she’s the smartest one and most ambitious, so she should be going Ivy league.

Luann likeable,not pretty

“we are talking about teen boys here, and there has to be physical beauty to attract them”:-You must know different teenage boys than the ones I know. To be attractive, a female simply has to be female. --Admittedly some are more attractive or acccessible than others, but that just means the boys go for the low hanging fruit first.

A few years ago, I exchanged emails with Greg about the characters aging. He said he didn’t want to do the “For Better or For Worse” thing where they age in real time. I replied that he might consider having them age one year for every 3 in real time; his reply was that he couldn’t see putting Luann in college within the next 5 years.

But based on today’s strip, Brad seems to be aging along those lines. In real time, Brad met Toni on January 19, 2002, and she professed her love on July 21, 2009. That’s 7.5 years that we’re now told were 4. He was 18-19 then, which makes him 22-23 now. Luann, now looking at colleges, seems to have aged only 1 year; 2 at most.

" he has a Sheila running her hands all over his body."-a female kangaroo?Sorry, just couldn’t help myself.

“Brad has been unsuccessfully chasing Toni for 4 years according to today’s strip,”-Has he been unsuccessful up to the present or was he unsuccessful for four years?It could be argued that he caught her.It’s also possible he is currently thinking, “Bah, if she were ever going to yield to my manly advinces, she would have done so by now. Time to look elsewhere.”We know at one time that would have made his mother happy.

it was to long , I didn’t read it , thanks for saying what it was worth

I would have laughed so hard if someone posted “f1rst” while you were typing that. ;)

Love and its problems are timeless and universal. Everyone can relate no matter what century they live in.

Gang, c’mon, we all know time stops in a comic strip. If it didn’t they wouldn’t be nearly as successful…

Second day in a row that Brad is showing maturity. Maybe he’s actually growing up

Hindsight is 20/20! Use his hindsight to aid your regular sight! Like some kind of seeing eye dog for life experience.

@Leviticus A couple of years ago – Greg zoomed into the future for one frame – Luann’s vision of herself having a cocktail in a sophisticated bar – Luann was lookin good. And a great personality always adds to a woman’s looks.

The high priest reminds me to tone down my posts….Amazing that your post was deleted. I see that my reply did not include you for my response too.I didn’t see any problem that would call for a deletion.

waste not, want not.Ask not, love not.

Ha ha ha…..great role model.

Is he really putting on cologne to to the firehouse?

Me thinks too many people looking for too much logic in a comic strip. What ever happened to just enjoying the goings on, and not trying to figure out the math? This is more about evoking ideas and feelings that we can relate to, rather than a novel with a specific time line. It must be so frustrating trying to entertain the masses, while so many are reading so much reality into the fantasy.

This is actually in reply to all your comments: You are having way too much fun with this. At first I thought you took it too seriously, but now I feel you may have an ulterior motive for reading the strip and commenting in the first place. You too like to evoke feelings and emotions. Maybe you should write a strip…

actually, coloring in the pictures isn’t technically considered writing books-just trying to be helpful

“Put 2 young ladies on a football field, one standing at each goal post. One is Phillis Dillar at 18, the other is Angelina Joline at 18. They wear the exact same bikini. The girls just stand there, doing nothing, saying nothing. The high school football team comes onto the field. Just the team. No coaches, trainers, teachers, or supervisors.Now jump 15 minutes into the future. Which goal post has the most football players around it?”-If Angelina snubbed them and hurt their sensitive feelings and Phyllis rolled out the WELCOME mat, Phyllis would have her hands full one way or another.
