Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 11, 2014

Oh, oh!!! ;)

I definitely did Not see this one coming…what IS Leslie thinking?!! ;)

If he was suspended, why is he still on school property?

Okay… Here’s that pretzel, coming up!!… A salted, with a twist!!!…-So, I take it, there’s still some more “soap” in the wash?… – Will Gunther’s “stand-up routine” sit well with Les?… Is there a purpose in his proposal?…Is that his way of “buttering Rosa up”?… – Could this possibly be the “law of uninended consequences”, coming back to bite everyone (including Crystal) on the butt?…Will it lead to a “rash” of bad things?….

“The Best Intentions?”“A Deterred Gent (Extra Cycle)”“Assault, or Buttery?”" Frozen Custard’s Last Stand"or “Dunh-Duhnn-DUHHHNH!!!”

Oh,Oh…I just noticed that Gunther shouted “NO”…this is not going to be good for him…or maybe his reaction is showing that he doesn’t have to play Mr. Milquetoast anymore…that his confidence in himself Has risen? ;)

Slap him, Rosa! I wanna see a red handprint all over Leslie’s ugly face.

“…Leslie’s approach here would be socially unacceptable.” This is true. There’s not one girl from my high school senior year that would accept…they’d more than likely laugh in his face (now it has been Quite Some Time since I was a senior in high school! ;)

The next words out of Gunther’s mouth need to be “I’m taking her.”

That shuts Leslie up AND gets him in good with Rosa.

Is it possible that Gunth is actually capable of taking care of himself in a physical altercation?? Has he been secretly learning a martial art? Will he beat up on Les or visa versa? In either case, Rosa will love him forever!

And maybe his proposal involves something else, and may tug at her heartstrings (though not in a romantic way), and ol’ Gunth gets suspicious…. and then Rosa sees the other side of getting what you’ve always wanted…

“Brought To You” by…Cliff’s Hangers… – Plotz’Devices, from Twisted Products… – Oil of Okay… – Bold Spice…. “Whoah!!!.. We only said you could fight odor and wetness!…Not the whole world!”… – and by…Pickett Wrinkle Concealer… “Never Let ’em see you fret!!!”…

‘Nite all…may the Force be with you…and Gunther’s going to Need some kind of force to come through this without getting himself in deep (insert your word here)! ;)

Yeah, some plots have that same scenario… the guy says: “Bug off, Buster! Not on your life!” expecting for everyone to follow suit, and yet the girls says “Alright!” and throws everybody for a loop, including the “rival” who asked…..

or (d)…Gunther takes out insurance and a loan, as the real reason is Leslie wants to open up a frozen yogurt stand…. – (e) This is just Gunther replaying a scenario in his mind, embellishing on further ways he could impress Rosa…..

forget it Les, Gunther told you no to going to the prom with you……………………. Les should ask Ox after Gunther tells him, “sorry, but my heart belongs to my Rosa, and she will be my prom date”

Rosa:Let’s get down to business…to defeat the Les. Did they send me daughters…when I asked for sons? You’re the saddest Gunth I ever met, and you haven’t got a clue…but Mr. I’ll make a man out of you!

Hm.Maybe it’s Gunther who’s bribed Les to fake a confrontation then to take a dive so he can win the hand of the fair lady(Les made $20 back at the last non-beating, after all, ref. 2/27/12.)

NO!! Take me to the prom Big Boy! WHEEEEE!

Well Crystal. Gunther’s about to get SQUASHED, Thanks to YOU!

Now USE Your B/S “Special Powers” and get Him OUT of it!

You want drama? Bring back Aaron Hill…..boom!

Reminds me of the old Andy Griffith Show, where Howard Sprauge takes on a bull and in the end he loses.

If they are outside of the school building, there will be no “cameras” to protect them.

Gunther has just become the chauvinist that Leslie is. No, she is mine! And Rosa will not like it one bit.

Gunther really has no business speaking on behalf of Rosa. That’s “controlling”.

Quick, somebody call Ox and hurry! Gunther’s gonna need him!

Is it any wonder I drink?

Looks like it is about to get REALLY ugly here. And I hope the end result is leslie crawling away with his slimy tail between his legs.

Better tp die on your feet than live on your knees

How about a single panel showing a huge cloud with Les and the G-man going at it like Beetle Bailey and Sarge.

To bad this will take a few days to play out, I’m looking forward to Gunther winning.

tomorrow: Rosa says NO, Gunther says something, Les pokes Gunther in the chest with a threat.

Next day: one of two things: 1) we find that Gunther musters up some inner strength and clocks Les, thus impressing Rosa as her hero. or 2) Gunther gets his head handed to him by Les, still impressing Rosa for getting his new found confidence against insurmountable odds of beating Les.

For Gunther its a Win-Win with Rosa, only with or without bruises.

Oh wait, I forgot. Les still believes in the cameras. Maybe no fight in the School. A after school challenge will be offered to Gunther by Les. This will drag out longer than two days…………….

Les is picking a fight— they must be outside the “camera zone”

I’m confused. I thought Gunther and Rosa were already going out. Is this a re-run?

Gunther is protecting his girl from Obnoxious Knox as any caring boy would do. He is not being controlling of Rosa.

Warning: violence ahead!Is this where Rosa’s little boy becomes a man (even if Knox beats the snot out of him)? Or will Gunther surprise us all, including himself, by standing up to Les successfully?

Better start working out a bit there Gunth. This looks like time for the man to stand up to the bad.

R.I.P. Miss Temple….

Poor Gunther.

Gunther has the spirit. Notice his hands are in fists.

It is possible Gunther’s negative response was not forbidding Rosa to say YES but simply the response to seeing something bad such as a child on TV running obliviously toward the rattlesnake..I admit it would not be in keeping with the previous panels. It is interesting that Rosa’s expression doesn’t look receptive, especially considering that her previous interaction involved getting her books knocked out of her hands..Note: schools need to make all textbooks offered available in electronic format. All the textbooks used in the state of Florida should easily fit on a single tablet. Royalties could be paid according to usage, errors could be corrected on the fly, additions due to new knowledge could be wified in, kids could read ahead or review, some books need not be replaced but rather retained if the only reason to replace them was torn pages, erotic art or too many lost. No need to hand books out for each class at the beginning of the year, no reason to collect those which remained at the end. Far less load to lug along.

Unfortunately in the Real world, she would say yes.

FDR said as long as we had Shirley Temple, America was alright.And now we don’t.

“Or three days have already passed in the strip. Hard to tell.”-——————————————————-Rosa and Gunther are both wearing the same clothes they had on when the encountered Les previously, only Gunther re-acquired his book pack/weapon some time during the lunch break on Saturday.Four days have certainly passed for US, but the Luannverse is of another dimension.

“Hey you! Take your damned hands off her!”… Do you really think I should swear?

Les shoved Rosa out of his way a few days ago, and now he doesn’t even seem to know her name. He has no interest in Rosa, only bugging Gunther.

It is not clear who he is asking to the prom, G or Rosa. He just says Yo and Gunther is the only one to give an answer. Gunther must think Les is asking him out.

“a kissing contest between him and Leslie?”=======How about Gunther and Leslie falling for each other and marrying? Evans knocks down a whole lotta barriers and retires to guide the NFL through its most recent news story.

In the words of Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli: In order for others to believe that your are tough, you have to thrown at least one punch. Maybe tomorrow will be Gunther’s day to punch someone.

DaUe53..At least you’re worth nearly copying.I wonder if that is what I could claim was happening when I misspell or forget and leave out a word ( or say something even sillier than usual).

“What village are you from again? What clan? What century?”^What “How” is saying is true … At many places, girls are “expecting” elaborate proposals to the prom, almost as if they’re expecting some marriage, just as “How” described!….

Rosa can handle herself:

You know something? There was one former person who has posted here, and not only has the knowledge to be able to use someone’s icon, but has done it before, here…. Hmm…..

-Here we are on the GoComics site with more than 100 comments, as usual, and on ArcaMax, the Luann comic has only drawn 2 comments. I wonder why no one posts on ArcaMax?

It is ridiculous, and “that’s the way of the world” , today!

And I’d say it was a case of “Profileing"…

I don’t think it is a matter of stupidity, rather intentionally misunderstanding.It’s fun to do.Sometimes I am walking somewhere and someone gives a wolf-whistle for some girl near me. Pretending to misunderstand, I respond, “Thank you, thank you very much.”It has left a few whistlers red faced and scared to do it again.

Here is a link to the description of the new phenomenon (I know, I know, it’s HuffPost, but it has gathered real-life sources..) – And here is a link from “the MercuryNews”….

I was just surfingcomments on other strips, and Luann on Go Comics has the best comments hands down!

Not cost effective.Sure they are.Electronic rights can be part of the bid if the publishers know it will mean income for them.(You don’t make deals with those won’t deal, so whether they like or not isn’t the determining factor, especially since most are already dealing.)Cost of one physical book is far above cost of many tablets — even if the schools DO decide to provide the tablets.

-Yuknowhoo-Our own Voldemort?

This one SHOULD be in response to Brdshtt.yes, it looks like the covalent elestrons are acting up again (or Asimov’s positrons have invaded) or my little Nook is subtly trying to opt out of the electronic textbook consideration..I’ m about to be out of touch for a while anyway, so maybe it’s just as well.

“Elestrons” however was definitely MY faultOr else the Nook is sending this post to muddy the waters

Also of note: When “..” dubbed them with a moniker, there became evidence afterward of their being “profile d”…

Yes…. I am proud to have been a part of that!…

Yep, real comic

“…,Have Les ask Luann to the Prom.”____________________________________

GOOD Idea! The Average Joes (Gunther, Knute and Brad) are ALWAYS Getting Their Collective Arses Kicked in THIS Strip, So its about Damn time the Pretty Boys got a TASTE of Reality! Let’s get Mr. Perfect in a Situation His Alleged “Good Looks” Can’t get Him OUT of.

let him have it Gunther

No, they’ve got a good, large selection…and some that aren’t here, too… just not as much of the Sherpa, though… a lot of good, independent artists are here!….. and since they are also a news outlet, that’s another reason they seem a bit smaller, there…

Oh boy.

Dave53 Even though I clicked the reply icon for one person, sometimes it shows me replying to some else. It all balances out, though. Some of my replies to you flew over the cookoo’s nest and dropped on others’ heads. Fond as I am of the little Nook Color, it gets that way every now and then. Right now I am using a RUGBY 2 multi.tap cell to hammer out this note, not near ancient eMachine computer. Sorry about the confusion.

Dave, the Daue responded to my post in a nice way. As much as I have always liked you and your posts, I feel compelled to respond to him.

“That was the story arc where we were introduced to Ox, savior of Gunther. This time it looks like Gunther will take care of Les himself!”-Mister DAUE, thanks for the explanation, but, Gunther is not alone here.

Woof! This story is really getting complex by having so many characters interacting. It’s intriguing, although Knute & Crystal and Gunther & Rosa do not interest me as much as Quill & Luann or Brad & Toni. I really would like to see some sort of “male presence” in the life of Berrnice. Still, this comic strip’s flaws are quite minor compared to so many others. I have been reading newspaper strips all my life (I’m 61), and, in my humble opinion, there have only been two that I consider “perfect,” meaning above any sort of criticism. They are “Calvin and Hobbes,” from the past, and “Get Fuzzy” from the present.

I might add that, of current comics, I consider “Piranha Club” and “Lio” to be at a high level of excellence. However, there are comics that I have read and enjoyed that are absolutely full of flaws— yes, I will come out and openly admit that I have been following “Mark Trail” for decades…

“…trolls are prototypical everyday sadists.”-———————-Stop getting bug-eyed and just report him/her/it.

Hey! If you want to read some really goofy (and sometimes funny) posts, go to the Mark Trail section of the Comics Kingdom site!

I must be really bad at math… I can’t get some things to add up…..

So Leslie tried to get Rosa to do something last year on 2/11 too. Interesting.

Oops I meant to say 2/11/12 not last year.

Penny is short, compared to the Washington Twins…
