Contrary to some posters here, I don’t mind at all going back to the Luann and Fay string. I think the emphasis on Luann, and how she dynamically, and positively reacts to others in her life, Jack and Fay, is a central part of the whole strip, and that picking up the story of other arcs is part of the dramatic suspense that makes this strip so addictive. Yes I agree that Fay is an updated, 21st century version of Luann at the same age, with the only difference being that Axel really does like Fay, SO MUCH, but is totally clueless how to reciprocate. Luann has experience so we see. It will be interesting to see how Luann’s putative romance with Jack progresses, while at the same time, her mentee’s romance with Axel does. Axel is a 21st century prepubescent teen boy, so get over all you old fogies!!!
