Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 10, 2012

Sanitize her seat?………uh………what exactly does that mean?

sanitize…must be what the kids are calling it now days

Knute, this is getting way too skeevy.

Crystal, are you gonna go and pee while Knute is in the restroom?? My gawd.

And Knute is my kind of guy! Wish my boys are as sanitary as he!

Those two are made for each other. That first & second panels is the first time I’ve seen Crystal surprised. Usually she’s too cool to show any emotion, like the third panel.

hope he uses a diffrent sponge then the one he just used to clean the sink or visa versa

Latex gloves and disinfectant for everyone! Yay!

A Guy is going to walk in on them.

Considering that she really, REALLY had to go, she sure is chatting for a long time.

This is getting to be a little scarily intimate. No wonder Crystal is astonished. Knute is revealing details of an obsessive side of his personality that I’ve never seen before.

Crystal will marry Knute now for sure. What woman can’t resist a man who cleans up the place? ;)

Why is Crystal using the men’s bathroom? The story lines are becoming very ridiculous. I follow Luann for the interesting serious story lines. 2012 has produce silly ones. I will stay tuned.

Fogarty on Friday….

They go in the stall and are found in there by a teacher. A scandal ensues and everyone assumes Crystal is preggers.

Ya, this is just a little wierd!!!

Ok guys whats wrong with a guy that is creeped out by the fact that someone has used the crapper before them. I’m not OCD but I gotta say it makes me cringe sometimes when I walk into a public restroom. And sometimes I walk back out and talk to the management about the condition of the restroom. Granted Knute is a bit on the Obsessive side but if he were full blown OCD he would never leave the restroom but might as well be an attendant. I know this is only a comic strip but it does tend to show us a little bit about ourselves. Like it or not this is My opinion.

If Knute does have a little OCD, maybe he could just carry a pack of “Wet Ones” antibacterial hand wipes. More discreet than a janitor;s closet full of supplies.

That’s the most expression that I’ve seen on Crystal in a looong time.

Remember TonyShalhoub’s detective character Adrian Monk? His assistant always carried the wipes for him. Or the romantic song, “Behind Closed Doors”? Not so romantic with closed stall doors……..or maybe it could be. At least there would be more room than in one of those airliner johns.

“Hold on, lemme just sanitize that seat for ya..”____________________________“Shine the Hiney Shrine”Knute’s hoping to impress…if Crystal likes his OCDhe’ll get into her dress…

I bet Knute puts the seat down too.

This strip just gets weirder and weirder.

OCD?

When I was a Voc Rehab Counselor, I worked with a young man who had some kind of serious mental disorder, maybe schizophrenia. We put him into a work-adjustment program with a job coach and all, as a cleaner at a restaurant. His main problem was that he would spend an hour cleaning one bathroom, which didn’t leave much time for his other duties. However, customers commented favorably on the sparkling-clean bathrooms.

I just fell in love with Knute.

Why is she in the men’s room anyhow?

There’s time enough for that later.

at least wear some rubber gloves…that sponge must be disgusting

When cleaning a bathroom, you don’t go back and forth beween sinks and toilets.

Nobody is sanitizing her seat in the ladies room. I doubt that is necessay here.

This arc seens to be exploring a side of Knute that we don’t need to know about. The other many never ending arcs in this strip are much more interesting.

I’m bored. This arc has gone on too long.

The part that is rather unsettling and disturbing is that the idea of cleaning a public restroom means that as a “neatnik” Knute is EXPOSING himself to the MOST germs possible from the bathroom he cleans. He may be killing some with the cleaner, but as any good biologist knows, many, many of the bacteria, viruses, and other agents are volatilized in the mist of the flushing toilet/urnial, are carried in the air, and on and on. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Custodial workers should take extra precautions to wear gloves, etc so as to decrease their exposure as much as possible. And, it is much better for them if they do not ascribe to “germphobic” behavior that seems a bit like what Knute is displaying.

A little OCD there Knute…

Crystal looks more mature this time – the odd couple appears to be gaining in comfort with each other. It’s nice.

What a gentleman Knute, Crystal could do worse I’m sure.

Brad dump the bimbo and hookup with Crystal she has everything you need and can think

C’mon, Sheriff – you gotta love a woman who’s shocked to find a man who’s happy in his job – cleaning up…

Don’t go ZZZZZZZZZ on me now!

Don’t knock the Knute….he just doesn’t want to get cooties, but it would still be easier to use Wet Ones or easy wipes. And, considering his hobby, Crystal may be a little reluctant to hold hands with him in the future.

@ZacBSM no, she asked him to watch the door. the only way that would work is if he were outside stopping people from going in. otherwise he’s a greeter, not a guard.

I’ve read that by far the nastiest thing around is the kitchen sponge. (Why anyone would use one is beyond me – I use that plastic-wool stuff that dries right away.) Computer keyboards are pretty germy, too. Public toilet seats are not that bad in comparison.

Evans has it planned that someone else would walk into the bathroom and start heavy rumours….
