Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 05, 2018

sure, Bernice

Humored. The world would be quite humored.

There is benefit in this.

A well-intended action without understanding seldom achieves its goal. My beloved Shannon is well-intended without understanding. At least her heart is in the right place, now if she can just gain understanding apart from indoctrination, progress is possible.

Hhhmmm. Bernice… 4 words… “Lord of the Flies” a high school classic.

Thank you, Team Evans, for having the guts to mention this in today’s hostile climate (in more ways than one.)

Shannon’s solution reminds me of another American – the one whose hair looks like an abandoned nest

To talk about Climate change is brave.

Nothin’ the planet would like bettern’ a good peanut butter ’n jelly sammich.

Umm, where are they?

I wish there was a ‘thumbs down’ in the comment section.

Plot idea: 97% of the world’s scientists contrive an environmental crisis, but are exposed by a plucky band of billionaires & oil companies.

@Ringo You’re a brave fellow. 98% of “non-scientists” will believe anything if shouted loud enough. :o)

73.62% of quoted statistics are made up on the spot!

Puddles needs rescue, too.

This strip is set in California, they know exactly what is like to be ruled by children.

If the earth were the size of an apple, all of human activity, all of the tectonic plate activity, everything would exist in the skin of the apple. Yet WE (almighty humans that we are) are ruining the planet?!?!

98% of sentient life forms say “BAH!”

I’m waiting for the de-salinization of the ocean currents to disrupt the global heat transfer pattern. It ain’t the US who’s gonna suffer first, it’ll be Europe buried in snow and ice! Ha!

Air freshener that appears to be an aerosol can. Ice cubes with fluoridated water. Snacks with preservatives animals can’t process. Good going Luann, you’re about to unleash a walking global catastrophe!

So nice to see science fiction in the comics…

As an offspring of a schizophrenic mother and alcoholic father, I have little tolerance for ineffective action. It takes the place of doing something – anything – useful. In the public setting it is no better, squandering our resources for something that is beyond our control. We have a history of doing just that; the eugenics era (roughly 1890 to 1945) resulted in the forced sterilization of tens of thousands of American women and the California law was only slightly modified to form the original Nazi eugenics law. For all that, serious biologists knew since 1900, when Mendel’s “Experiments on Plant Hybridization” surfaced, that eugenics could not work unless the breeding population was reduced to one pair. In carbon reduction nobody claims to have a solution, only things that will shift the timeline slightly at staggering cost. (BTW, forced sterilization is still legal in the US, thanks to the US Supreme Court decision Buck v. Bell. Our follies tend to haunt us.)

Stop having kids would be even more effective.

And coming up tomorrow, Les drops by to pick up his paycheck.

All HECK, breaks loose when Les takes one look at Shannon’s playthings and strongly suggests it’s Time She “grew out of it.” ;)

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised how many climate change deniers are on this list. As for Shannon, I hope she joins up with the Children’s Climate Change Lawsuit.

Shannon is barely beyond worrying about diaper change, much less world change, and I’m too old to join any crusades, so let’s take Puddles back to the dog park and be satisfied with cleaning up any dog poop from the environment.

Wow so much passion, nonsense, sarcasm, jeez!! Need to get back to a normal arc, maybe with Tiffany (OMG!!) in it to bring normalcy to the Luannverse force.

“Climate Change.” I don’t TOTALLY disagree there. Well, maybe the “kids in charge” bit.

But on the other hand there’s this:

Yes Bernice, that would be nice. But for me Lord of the Flies comes to mind.

We tried that. Look where it’s gotten us.

Shannon is adorable. It is nice she cares about things. And she entertains the dog too.

Just yesterday I commented that I did not miss Bernice at all, and now she’s back!

Why not? After all, the adults are doing such a great job.

Look, my analytical and idealistic comrades in cartoons, Greg is having enough trouble trying to create a sorta’ normal boy-girl romantic relationship, please don’t expect him to cure the troubles of the world, too. Make comics fun again, we have enough editorial cartoonists.

I guess it never occurred to any of the ‘climate-change-is-a-big-lie’ types who seem to hang out at GoComic that the Evanses intended this particular ‘toon to be an honest-to-gXd JOKE…Why else have a kid talk about fixing ’goball’ warming with ice cubes and an aerosol can of air freshener?

@Schrodinger’s Dog: Considering all the wildfires that have been happening in California, I’ve been surprised that none of that has shown up as real drama in this ‘toon yet. So I’m hoping for an episode at the firehouse, where either Brad or Toni’s squad is sent out to fight fires and danger is everywhere. Who knows; maybe one of the wildfires will jump a fire break, and burn down the guesthouse in Al Gray and Irma Berger’s backyard?

Luann and Bern look like they are sitting at a desk. It must be a scene with Luann watching over Shannon at her place, though it doesn’t look home like. That said, Shannon has a lot of imagination and always seems capable of entertaining herself. She’s not the kind of kid who says ‘I’m bored. I don’t have anything to do.."

Somebody should give Shannon a PSA about all the harm that spray-can of “air fresher” can do. Shannon is a good representative of that mentality, though….

At least Shannon could make the smog smell nicer!

There they are: Two girls at the end of the counter, in their prime. Well, Luann is showing some potential, but poor, old-before-her-time, Bernice looks like she is suffering from a severe estrogen deficiency. Come on, Bernice, Shannon is showing more skin than you are. I figured that after Margo Phelps, aka Mrs. Fogarty, Greg should have thrown away the mold. Nope.

I’ve often commented about how I’d like Delta to drop by, even if only for a brief visit. Today, with Shannon, we know she’s there in spirit. Delta would jump right in to help Shannon.
