Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 16, 2012

The point is, ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

Luann?

I’ll GIVE You a $300.00 Amex Gift Card if You STOP SINGING..

Lu & Lindy Lewis:For those of you who haven’t retro-read the strip, Lindy was a hyper-intelligent baby that Luann used to babysit, and to whom Luann became rather close…. until one night when Brad sat Lindy, in her place, and did such a good job that the Lewis’ fired Luann and hired Brad permanently.

The Shannon Connection

Shannon was first introduced as Lindy’s cousin (Lindy’s Mom and Shannon’s Mom were sisters), However, since that time, Greg revealed that Shannon’s Mom ran off soon as she was born… From this, I have to deduce that Lindy’s Aunt wasn’t Shannon’s REAL Mother, but her step Mom; who appears to have left Shannon’s no-good Dad, some time ago

Just be SURE that you’re BACK on Earth in time for the Alien Invasion on December 21st. I CAN’T handle all these Pesky Greys by Myself…..,

I think I know why Nancy and Frank seem underwhelmed.

Deck the halls with songs of folly,fa la la la la, la la, la la.Christmas cash grab not so jolly,fa la la la la, la la, la la.

Deck us all with Boston CharlieWalla Walla wash and Kalamazoo…..

Ya know, as a Financial Services Rep in real life…that was EFFIN HILARIOUS! I should sing that to my clients every December.

That might be enough for the one charge concerning the pc to cell connection.

MJ: Wow I guess I need to stop until I’ve read every Luann.^^It is pretty interesting to see how this strip went from a pure comedy to evolve into an issues strip, sugared with comedy

Looks like an alien is about to exit her chest in panel 3.

that is why i give out gift cards.

How about $50 instead.

Nora’s freezin’ on the trolley,Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

You mean:

“Glee is bad, for lack of a better word.”

Luann may be on to something!

Glee? Still on…?

Christmas. Bah and humbug ! I just throw money at it. I gave up guessing what far-off family wanted 40+ years ago. A few President Grants here and there usually settled the situation. Found out I was right, for I’ve gotten several Xmas card ‘notes’ lately saying how that money was more than appreciated back when they were struggling to keep afloat, but too proud to let anyone know…

how about you both zip it- Said in the nicest possible way this being so close to the Holidays and all. :-)

MJ: Sorry I just accidently read under the picture. I’m confused, does this mean that Lindy is Shannon and the brother’s girlfriend/wife is the step mother and Toni is really Shannon’s mom and she is trying to slowly turn Brad into the father without his knowing it? I would talk about the implications for Time-travel and continuity/aging especially with Luann moving from reel to reel technology to Cell Phones and skype overnight (is that Real Luann’s doing) but that one is too confusing for me to write about. Like is Luann still in 1988 and stuck at age 16- (3 years from 13 and 1985) or is she now in 2012?^^Now I’M confused, lol…. No, Shannon is not Lindy, they are cousins. But, as it turns out they aren’t actually related by blood.You see, Lindy’s Mother is the Sister of the woman Shannon thought was her Mom; but, was only her stepmother; poor Shannon, abandoned by her real Mother at birth, and her Stepmother a few years later; then passed around to family members by her Father who doesn’t give a crap about her…No WONDER she’s so screwed up!!!

Luann’s little song reminds me of when Sally Brown asks Santa to just send her “Tens and Twenties”

“They care not for the comic nor the commenters just their compulsion to correct.”-And that’s a good thing, right?Or are you trying to correct them?If so, see above.

“My little number gets squashed by those, and it does not pester me like it does you. "-Maybe if he did one post per line…..

I thought all she wanted for Christmas was world peace and joy?

even if she’s full of it, I’d still like to hear her sing :)
