Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 13, 2014

If she keeps all those cats she saves, then she won’t have to worry about finding stray ones, once she decides to parlay it into a “Cat Lady” gig! And here’s some handy tools once she does! – You wanna take Oprah’s place, huh? Better not let Oprah hear you say that!!! She’ll have you jumping on couches and all. And she knows people… She’s got a whole “network” of ’em….

I would hate to see some little girl in that school wanting to grow up to be Tiffany.

And batton down the hatches! With this Luv-Lu fest, it would seem inevitable that something Really Bad is brewing!

Does that little girl have the chicken pox?

By the time you get your Degree, Luann, you will probably work at a career that doesn’t even exist now.

My Stepfather passed away a few years ago, in his 90’s. When he came back to the US after his service in World War II, he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do career-wise, so his father (who owned a printing company), suggested that he join in running that company.-And that’s what he did for a living, for the rest of his life till retirement. The whole time, though, he kept telling us he was doing it until he figured out what he really wanted to do….

They act nothing like real little kids

(braces:) That’s also what I took it as….

I actually think this is a good way to end this arc. Luann reminds the kids that they can be anything they want and also that they don’t have to decide at age 8 or whatever extra-young age our school systems seem to be pushing right now.

This is officially one of my favorite strips. Is anyone touched when the little girl with glasses told Luann she wanted to be her. And I love it how Luann was encouraging in the second panel. She is so good with kids and she should grow up as something that involves both kids and drama. A drama teacher?

I can see what looks like braces, too. But I don’t see anything that looks like chicken pox on any of the other girls

I hope that next week’s strip is about Brad and toni. I haven’t seen them in a long time. Or I hope its with Gunther’s mom and Mr. Grey….

Archatex kid looks kinda like TJ.

Well, I’d better get some sleep. Have to go for a bunch of blood work tomorrow to see whether I’m going to lose $25 out of each future paycheck because my blood glucose isn’t at the level that my new health insurance policy demands….

For some reason I find the picture of the little girl hugging Luann incredibly moving.

Y’know, that’s true… and also if the doc wants to know "what’s been left on your trails”…

Now I see the dots. Thanks, Wiselad!

2013/10/27 shows that at least Tiff had many teachers on lat year of HS, and all were male. I am sure Luann also had many teachers, but some might had been female

as Lily Tomlin said, “All my life, I’ve always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.”

I wanna be a billionaire brat raised in a billionaire family and never work a day in my life. (snerk)No, in fact I wanna be an astronaut. I wanted to be a fighter pilot but they are being replaced by drones. And during weekend I’ll go and save the gorillas. And I want to be a paleonthologist, and an anthropologist, and I want to be the first woman on Mars. Ok, I still don’t know what I want to be and I am 50. I think I have a problem.

Aw

Oh, How “Sweet”.

Let’s RE-WARD These Little Ones with Unrestricted Use of Paste and Glitter.

Put It IN The Teacher’s Hair, Ladies!

Yet Tiffany wants to be an actress, works in theatre, makes her way into a movie, actually is a model in a big campaign (yes stock photos count) and all Luann could do was rag on her. Yet now we’re supposed to go “Oh she’s such a model for these children for encouraging them to do what they want even though she couldn’t do the same for people her own age.”

;-p

Yup!

“I would hate to see some little girl in that school wanting to grow up to be Tiffany.”.That sort of wish only starts to get made when they hit high school.

You’ve found your career, Luann. You’re going to be a teacher.

Ah, youth! When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.

How long before L’il Bernice decides she wants to be someone else?

Wanted to be a teacher….went to prison for 24 years…(but I DID get a paycheck for being there!!)…and the last few years actually taught there.

IT WORKED! IT WORKED!

Oy! Most of the kids have high ambitions, more or less, but the little girl with glasses {the “young Bernice”} wants to be Luann?! Not much of a choice, unless she means to star in a comic strip. Luann is indecisive, boy-centered, and modest in accomplishments….

the cat person dream could become true…………. could become a firefighter with more modern technology (thus relatively more superpowers) and end up saving lot of cats

“I want to be you, because I don’t have any goals or talents, either!”

I think that this is just a rest stop. We’re about due to return to Bernice and the roommate who has been a no show for about 4 months. Toni & Brad are also long overdue, but they’re really pretty dull. Knute and Crystal are fun, but no story involving them runs more than a week or so, Too soon for Gunther & Rosa as they prepare to enter “The Heart of Darkness.” To paraphrase Luann, " it could be anything…" Whatever, Greg’s drawing is worth looking at. It is clean and simple and visually pleasing.

After a long and busy day, I had to smile a mile when I read today’s comic! ;)

Totally forgot!!!! National Mic Check Day (12/12 [1,2..1.2…]) and Sequential Day (12/13/14)!!!

End of a long 24-hour “day!” See you all sometime Sunday! ‘Nite all! :)-————————————————————————- “There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing.”(Isaac D’Israeli, 1766-1848)

@Meh~thodology-Couldn’t use the ‘reply’ function to respond to your post. That’s a great pic of a cat lady toy. Where can I buy one?

This is too sweet. I would love to have kids someday once I’m in my late 20’s/early 30’s.
