    Wienieman TJ. That’s an appropriate name for you. And since it promises to be a very short-term, temp position, you won’t even need to list it on your resume.

    All I hear right now are the words Brad himself uttered, “I can handle Ann Eiffel” y’know just before he got himself in over his head. Though I’ll give TJ credit, he’s not as much of a moron as Brad is so maybe he’ll end up fairing better.

    I have to admit I was worng here. It seems that TJ has emerged from his schemeing unscathed – yet again. Brad and Toni are not that bright. They have only looked at the end result and used that tired platitude, “All is well that ends well.” I that light, all of TJ’s meddling was good and needed, even though Brad’s captain explained that since Brad was due to be called back – regardless. I guess that’s why he is now involved in another scheme. This boy has too much time on his hands.

    About all the comments about Luann not really being the focus of her own strip,it’s probably for the best for now. She hasn’t had many interesting storylines in a long while, hopefully she will again but it will take a lot of doing. Back when her problems were based on crushes and body issues it was more relatable. Now Luann’s being written as having things pretty ideal, she has more dudes crushing on her at once than most and she’s getting skills out of nowhere. I think if Luann were to regain her old status it would take a while to bring her down to the level of an everyteen again..Given the current way things are Tiffany is sort of the new “Old Luann” as in she’s the one with an unrequited crush and has incredibly unlikely aspirations, like Luann used to..And as for Brad, TJ, and Toni and their stories. I think they are really the most interesting after all look at the amount of comments they get. I think it’s because they’re adults and can be put in more risky situations and all.

    Can Brad and his group have their OWN strip? I like their stories a lot. I even think they have a different audience than Luann’s group and could do really well.

    Luann has a lot going on in her stripbut the pacing is really slow. What ever happened to the Tiffany and Oz-boy story?

    Too many good characters and GREAT story lines- not enough time for everyone.

    And also, we’re consumed with curiosity about Rosa & Gunther. Will Greg use this relationship to bring Gunther out of his geekiness, at least to the extent where he develops more social maturity? I expect that to happen in the New Year after Greg puts the other issues into a holding pattern.

    Somehow, a fire might start at WW………with a romantic interest between TJ and Ann…….maybe a real fire erupts at WW somehow…….by TJ? Another employee? Or by Annie herself?

    Then Brad to the rescue? I am certain things will get very interesting!

    Ann & TJ start their dance of mutual flirting to set up each other – remember Ann is amused by TJ – TJ wants to one-up Ann to complete his plan of domination. As Brad returns to WW to order chili & curlyfries from TJ, Ann sneaks around the counter to see what’s happenin’ & slips on a grease spot..Ann falls to the floor, bumps her head & passes out. Brad leaps into action with his EMT skills – gives her mouth-to-mouth respiration &Toni arrives to meet up with Brad when Ann regains consciousness…..Too farfetched? Yes… and No.

    Just a bit of advice for TJ. There’s a Chinese proverb that says, “Before embarking on a quest for revenge, dig two graves.”

    That being said, I suspected a revenge plot was coming. Just couldn’t be sure because TJ’s always wearing that mischievious grin.

    Greg said nothing of the kind.

    The one thing I regret most is that I chose “LUANN” for the strip’s title…As the name of a comic strip, “Luann” is too slippery, hard to spell, tricky to pronounce and remember." – 11/2/11

    People bring it up beause for them it’s a legitimate issue – there are also people who want a spinoff of Brad and Toni and they’ll be doomed to disappointment because at the end of the day Greg’s focus is still Luann. She’s the character he most identifies with, he’s been quite clear about that in numerous interviews. .So to keep on insisting that Greg “regrets” his choice of title because it isn’t a more inclusive one or more representative of the rest of the cast is incorrect – perhaps it’s something you should rethink or “get over”.
