Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 29, 2014
Transcript:
Quill: "Hey, i have an idea. Moony Uni is running their summer drama camp again. But this time, I'm an employee" Luann: "Yay for you" Quill: "No, listen! I'll ask for an assistant. We can work together all summer!" Luann: "Hm. I'd rather play together all summer..." Quill: "Ok. See this? It's the key to the prop room. There's a sofa in there..." Luann: "Quill! That is sleazy, juvenile and risky!! How big is the sofa?"

But will Luannâs parents approve of this idea?

I tell yaâŠ.. â A complete turnaround for someone who was sure they wanted to be in drama, last year⊠maybe Luann has âcooled offâ on pursuing thatâŠ.. which is understandable! But just an ironic juxtaposition that now an opportunity comes along later, she isnât interested in it, per se⊠maybe last year, her heart was in drama for the âwrong reasonââŠ.. she did mostly highlight (even more than mentioning her just participating in the acting experience) that she was hoping for âromantic momentsâ with Quill during the camp, last yearâŠ. â And wanting a ânon bummer Summerâ is great! But Quill has to offer the âcanoodling couchâ for her to want to be near him as he works? I thought she wanted to see more of him. Yep, it was never about the time spent⊠it was about what she wants to do during that timeâŠ. Which for her seems to have no âoff switchââŠ

How does a high school student who has not yet started college get to ask for an assistant on a summer job???

Oh, a naughty Aussie you are, Quill!
Caldonia almost 11 years ago
For those who are unclear, âmaking outâ is what was once known as âheavy petting.â It wonât lead to unwanted rugrats, in other words. (BTW, Luann and Quill are soooo not gonna get to make out on that couch. Magic 8-Ball sez so.)

Luann wants to be sleazy, juvenile and risky? Hmm. Sheâs not our darling little girl anymore.

10 to 1, they get into the prop room and are about to start making out when tiffany walks in.
ORMouseworks almost 11 years ago
Uh, ohâŠwatch those raging hormones! Luann, didnât you even hear what Quill told you? Heâs going to ask for an assistantâŠyou can be together All summer! Just make sure it isnât in the prop room⊠;)

Fiammata almost 11 years ago
Looks like a plot-shift, giving Luann the ability to watch drama class, gain interest, and possibly take it up as a career⊠or at least like it for more than just because Quill is in it.
Scott Stevenson almost 11 years ago
Can I just sayâyou seem to know way too much about that subject.
gnmnrbl almost 11 years ago
10 to 1, they get in the prop room, get hot and heavy and Tiffany just happens to burst in.
rspirlet almost 11 years ago
Itâs about time they , well, erm,
Yay !
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Yeah, that was the direction of my driftâŠ

Whatâs this? Despite Nancy and Frankâs careful upbringing, Luann is turning to the sleazy side?
Lady Nicole almost 11 years ago
If he cares about this future career like he did in the beginning of the week he shouldnât have suggested thisâŠ
38lowell almost 11 years ago
Anything to shut her up!This will NOT happen.No real guy accepts being led by some hot-headed girl. if so, there goes that career, and life, if something happens.How many are out there, wanting someone to, âtake care of them,ââ-forever.This is dangerous ground!And, what happens when heâs 20 minutes late, again?
imbaldeagle almost 11 years ago
âThe apple doesnât fall far from the treeâI can see Mom acting like this 25-30 years ago when she had 18(?) boyfriends. Frank mustâve been the last⊠or the safest⊠when she settled down. Luann has a way to go before she settles down.
TORAD_07 almost 11 years ago
I thought so! I had a feeling this wasnât quite over yet for them. Like I say, Iâll wait out the end of the week.
But yeah, the âcouchâ idea could set up some confrontations with Tiff⊠That should prove interesting.
Just take it easy with the âcouch play.â When does Lu turn 18 again, BTW? In Sept?
Willow Mt Lyon almost 11 years ago
Spend the summer going on walks together, swimming at the lake, playing Monopoly, Scrabble, and Canasta, eating pizza at the newest pizza place in town, sharing a bottle of Boones Farm Apple Wine, and then get into a situation that you will regret for the rest of your life because you canât turn back and undo it, and you got that birth control prescription a few days too late. Is that what you want Luann?
becidaboy almost 11 years ago
Luann is a senior, her last free summer was last summer. Not to say she canât goof off & fool around with her boyfriend this summer but once high school ends âreal lifeâ starts.She needs a paying jobâŠ

So theyâll get busted having sex, heâll get kicked out of school, theyâll break up and then in 3 weeks sheâll turn up pregnant. Only THEN will the real fun beginâŠ
locake almost 11 years ago
Quill is a real glutton for punishment. No matter how bad Luann treats him he keeps coming back for more. Notice her body language in the last panel. He is a nice guy, he should be with a nice girl.
locake almost 11 years ago
Quill wonât have sex with Luann any time soon, certainly not on the sofa when he is at work. He is just saying that to string her along and keep her interested.

And now I have the image of Luann and Quill making out stuck in my head⊠someone please pass me the brain bleach

Hereâs a refresher⊠Which also seems to sum up their particular positions:

William Loster almost 11 years ago
Number 5 is pretty spot on.
William Loster almost 11 years ago
Luann is becoming more and more of a one dimensional character. Even with this drama camp twist, I feel like sheâs going to be walking into an unpleasant wake up call. At least I hope she does. As the comicâs main protagonist she needs more character development.
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr almost 11 years ago
And âsofaâ is code-word forâŠ?
normaidalia almost 11 years ago
I wonder if Greg is retiring. Maybe heâs Mr. Fogarty.
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Ha ha, true!
ACTIVIST1234 almost 11 years ago
1) An employeeâs job is paidâ and assistant will be volunteer. Wonât Lu need to earn some money for college?*2) Considering this is an academic setting and not real life, Qu is about to get himself fired on day 1 (in commercial film, unfortunately, the casting couch is actually a requirement for budding actorsâ women only). (FYI, itâs both sex discrimination and sex harassment.)
ACTIVIST1234 almost 11 years ago
ââŠ. Itâs a COMIC STRIP!â*3497 â Thanks for the reminder. But characters seldom do in these G-rated dramas.

Anybody else see this leading to a pregnancy scare story over the summer?
Petemejia77 almost 11 years ago
Why does Luann look stoned arguing?
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr almost 11 years ago
The sofa doesnât sound like an original idea; maybe Q & L will need to âtake a numberâ, or instead of Tiffany catching them they catch her (and Ox) and are âscared straightâ when she suffers consequences, OR (to the delight of some of the children on these boards) Q & L ARE caught and Quill gets deported for âcorrupting the morals of a minorâ.
Caldonia almost 11 years ago
Thatâs pretty unlikely. Unless Professor Manicotti is very unpopular with her real students, so theyâd rather get a job somewhere else instead of doing something related to their academic interests!
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Or the remake, âMummy DearestââŠ.
Reddyan almost 11 years ago
Who else thinks it would be a REALLY good plot twist if Aaron Hill showed up at the Junior college where LuAnn is going? It would certainly stir up more drama! :-)

a-HA!! So, Luann DOES have a case of âhornyâ! I knew it!! LOL!

âthe âtop drawerâ stuff âŠâ ^Lol!!! 3 out of 5 âDoctorsâ (those of us who were âDoctorsâ) probably recommend some of those brands! -The other two were âwine snobsââŠ

How big is the sofa? That seems an unlikely question.

Is that what youâre all looking for?
melmarsh9v almost 11 years ago
Finally! There is some hint of forthcoming âteenage action.â Quill is giving Luann an opportunity to indulge in âmaking outâ and âplaying.â However, when it gets to the sofa in the prop room, I anticipate some sort of âinterruption.â Oh well, I prefer that type of thing over the tedious Prom Night events. Let us just sit back, relax and see what is yet to comeâŠ
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Thank you!
TMO1 Premium Member almost 11 years ago
Since the cartoonist has experience with an unplanned pregnancy (he and the mother gave the baby up for adoption), I doubt heâll show it in the strip. Too much drama.
seismic-2 Premium Member almost 11 years ago
And the people here will continue to denounce Tiffany as the wanton and promiscuous harlot and future adult film star that they are all convinced she is (even though sheâs never even had a serious boyfriend).
melmarsh9v almost 11 years ago
Who knows what Nancy said to Luann about a surgical procedure (sometimes for religious or medical reasons) that Quill may or may not have had. Most women I have ever talked to say that it is meaningless. We can only conjectureâŠ
melmarsh9v almost 11 years ago
After re-reading the past few days of this: I would say that things are getting intenseâŠ

I tend to agree with youâŠheâll pass into the jaws of MU, and never be heard from again as he makes new female friends there⊠;)
