Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 15, 2014
Transcript:
Crystal: "You have to vote in Australia, right? What if you don't want to?" Quill: "You get fined" Knute: "What if you don't pay?" Quill: "You get convicted as a criminal" Knute: "So then you can't vote and- wait..." Luann: "People, this is a dinner party. Not a political party"
I think it’s a mistake for Greg to drag every single story segment out for six days’ worth of strips. Next week, I assume, will be devoted to the actual dinner party for Gunther’s mom. Meanwhile, several other storylines will have to be put on the backburner for yet another week.
Among the things we didn’t learn this week, while we spent all week learning about the characters’ voting habits:1. Why is Bernice’s roommate Dez only sneaking into and out of the dorm late at night, without ever attempting to meet Bernice?2. What’s in the bags that Viper brings for Dez and the packages that Piro has Bernice store for him? Is it drugs?3. Will Bernice get a backbone and refuse to let Dez’s friends treat her as their errand girl?4. Why didn’t Rosa and Gunther find out what Uncle Leo did before moving to Peru to work in his clinic?5. Why did Uncle Leo think that data entry and answering phone calls at his clinic was a good thing for Rosa to do instead of going to college?6. What’s the “Plan D” that Gunther had in mind for what he and Rosa should do in Peru?7. Has Tiffany attempted to make any friends at Moony U. whose attitudes are compatible with her own, as opposed to attempting to hang out with the weird friends of Bernice’s roommate?8. Are Knute, Crystal, and Ox in college, and if so, where, and if not, what are they doing?9. How is Luann doing academically? Has she written any papers, taken any tests or quizzes, done any problem sets, or anything else that would have indicated to her that college tends to be more difficult academically than high school? She wasn’t that great a student in high school, so I was expecting some kind of academic culture shock for her — but the only time we saw her in class, all the instructor did was take attendance and tell the students to buy the textbook.10. Has Luann met any of her fellow students?11. What is the name of the college Luann attends?
