Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 29, 2013

Brad’s halfway to being Mike Tyson.

Somehow, this isn’t what I was expecting as a follow-up to last night’s strip 0.o

I’m sorry for your loss.

Another HO-HUM week?

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty faceAnd in the evening shes a singer with the band…

I let a girl put some eye makeup on me once, when I was young. It wasn’t on my face. (I can’t believe I went there. It’s not like me to go there.)

As Dennis the Menace once said, “Mom’s putting on her mask to scare ya!”

Been there, done that – when my sister was alive, she owned a salon and at times I ended up being a subject of her ‘experiments’…. Corn rows, sunglitzing, etc. just wasn’t me. At the time, I tolerated it and now, I miss that…^^Memories keep our departed love ones alive, my friend

loved*

I’ve never had anyone put makeup on me, and, unlike some of you, I hope no one ever does :P

You must be really old. My snickers mocha with no whipped cream is so much better than pepsi :).

As for the comic, beauty is painful Brad. Deal with it.

This eye makip gesture by Toni REALLY needs to go somewhere!

As Mad Magazine noted years ago, “You know you’re getting older when you drink Pepsi not to make you feel young, but to help you burp…” :p^^Must be something wrong with me, I drink it cause I like the taste! ;)(Hate Coke…stuff burns like acid, going down)

@Brdshtt remember a parody of the Dennis the Menace comic years ago. It showed Dennis’ mom with a horrified look on her face as Dennis held up a skull. The caption was, “Look what I found inside Mr. Wilson’s head”

^^One of my faves, actually a reworded version of a real strip… in the original, Dennis is carrying a bunch of empty seed packets on sticks and says: “Look what I found in Mr Wilson’s GARDEN!”

I was that child.

Returning to today’s strip, I give it a “three thumbs up”. It solicited quite a laugh!

I’m going to comment on the Comments: This is an enjoyable thread today! I enjoyed Mikeyj’s rant and got touched by Brdshtt’s heart for his sister. And I’m in my 70’s and grew up with hot chocolate topped with marshmallow cream as my beverage of choice.

Reminds me of Alix from “A Clockwork Orange”.\\//_

Cute. A true moment of intimacy, and suggestive in the extreme….

Hey, TONI? SLAP a Whole GOB of THAT STUFF on Old Brad and make Him look like a RACOON….,

Just wait until Toni introduces guyliner to Brad!

I think this is a sweet moment between them. Fun is always a good idea. Personally, I’d prefer it if we didn’t know they were doing the deed. It would be nice to see them actually wait until they got married for that. Making out is one thing. Let’s have them wait for the other. Please?

don’t tell Toni that silky underthings creep you out Brad or she might try to get you to wear hers…………… wait a second, never mind

Now he needs a bowler-hat and a white jump-suit

And a cane with a knife inside.

And somebody crank up the Ludwig Van

Amen, Leviticus! Brad is moving in the wrong direction. I feel like we are seeing the sexual insecurities of the writer played out before us. Kind of painful wo witness his ineptitude.

Come on, guys. It is a family strip in family newspapers. You guys with the dirty minds are going to be forever disappointed.

Ever watch one of those old black-and-white movies where sex is only lightly suggested, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks for himself/herself? I’m thinking of an old Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert flick…name escapes me right now. Modern movies remove any doubt at all, often in graphic detail. Which is the more charming of the two approaches?

Brad and Toni may well have consumated their relationship long ago, but this strip does appear in newspapers and there’s no way Greg is going to make sure we know they HAVE and still be in all of them. It’s as much a business decision to dance gingerly around sex as an artistic one.

Brad, because I don’t wear eye makeup (or any other kind), putting contacts into my eyes totally freaked me out— just like the mascara freaks you out. Too many eyeball/olive jokes.

Dear …,Sorry you don’t like Mikeyj’s picture posts. But some of us do. If you don’t like them, please just skip them & read the words. *Then you won’t deprive the rest of us who do enjoy his pictoral commentary. Thanks!

I have to say that I like the pics you post at times. I agree that they are a commentary on the strip. I remember one that you did of Tiffany, she actually looked pretty… in contrast to how she is portrayed in the strip itself, where I find her hideous.

On school trips if a guy fell asleep he might very well wake up decorated. The more macho he was the more likely.

re: pictorial comments. Website links I have NO problem with, embeded picts slow down my poor slow machine/connetion enough that it has taken over 5 minutes to load the comments (and thus be able to change the comic) on some that are over picture spoofed (think peanuts). So while I don’t mind the pictures as comments if they’re links, please don’t go sticking half a dozen pictures in everyday or I have to skip Luann!

Has any girl NOT done this to a guy at some point?

Girls can make you do things you never thought you would do.

As a woman, I wear makeup (or not) according to what I think will be expected by those I plan to see. At home, little or none even for my lover. If he will be showing me to others a little more makeup so noone will think such a handsome man is settling. If I am going anywhere with my daughter or youngest granddaughter, the max I can tolerate, as all her friends are pretentious fools.

You’re replying to Night-Gaunt49’s comment:

I like this moment in the Luanniverse. A funny intimate moment. But some people are only happy with a narrow view of things. At times I wish they would can it and let the rest of us enjoy it.^^amen

It could happen like this: B & T are in a restaurant. T says, “Let’s go to my house and watch a movie.” At T’s house she says, “Oh golly I don’t have any movies.” Brad has an expression of semi shock. However next frame we see T’s house, the sun rising, two cars in the driveway. Happy ending. Ready for another arc.

LOL

Whether or not they are “going all the way”, it’s pretty obvious here, that they are more than friends

You’re replying to Donny Wallace’s comment:

I would say don’t they still give salt peter to the old dudes like Dazz but I’m so dazzled by his comments that I have nothing to say…^^Donny… Dazz is a woman

Glad you can celibrate your sister’s life. I’m the same way with my eldest brother. He was a pain at times but I miss him all the same.

@Leviticus- You could be right, Donny lives in his own little World… on the other hand, at least he isn’t particularly mean to the other posters, so, I generally have no problem with him.

Lev: Brad isn’t really that much of a potato head anymore

This is not going the way I thought it would.

How many women (or men?) have actually stabbed themselves in the eyeball that way, from being startled or a sudden earthquake or otherwise having their concentration broken?
