Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 31, 2018

I’m with Bwad on this one. What kind of colour in that girl’s mind is puce?

Orange and puce. That’s easy. The hard part is when Shannon is living there all the time.

Color me amused. ✨

Special fashion sense.

Now they just need to prepare the invoice and hand it to Jonah, with notification that he will either pay within 30 days or they will never watch Shannon again.

I know some restaurants paint the walls different colors to make the customers feel warm and invited. Orange and puce would probably have the reverse effect, customers not wanting to stay for long periods. All the ones who dislike Shannon here would welcome her room being painted colors where she would not want to stay long.

G & K are slacking. Please go back to interesting subplots.

I think I want to heave.

Since G&K have decided to stretch this out, perhaps we could have some back story on TJ and Shannon.

We will end 2018 with Shannon and start 2019 with Shannon. Is this an abominable prediction of things to come?

Shannon knows color called Puce? She’s gifted.

Crooked studs? Sounds like Toni has attracted some unsavory boys.

6 weeks without Tiffany and Anne is long enough.

Happy New Years eve and have a safe and sound 2019 everyone!!

Enjoy Yours Too! :^D

Hey I am impressed at anyone who can redo a room, or any part of a house on their own. Brad did and I assume in Luannverse does have a knack for tools (worked on his car all the time when he was the shlump brother, before Toni made a man out of him—she found the man in him) and Toni must be that way too, which would be a way they are attracted to each other. Shannon, is just being Shannon, and the subplot is, whither her upbringing and care given the absent Jonah, and all that Auntie Toni and Uncle Brad invest in her. Plus, as I keep mentioning, what happens if Toni gets pregnant? I daresay they are more than active enough in the marital bed for that to be very likely and soon. I only mention that as a dramatic plot twist, so don’t jump on me for gender assumptions or something! (LOL).

Orange and puce? Something like this: https://images2.pixlis.com/background-image-stripes-and-lines-seamless-tileable-orange-puce-232mbg.png

Orange, and puce?? head desk x infinity

Puce is the French word for “flea.” It’s the color of blood from a squashed flea that can’t be laundered out of bedsheets. Puce was also a popular fashion color in 19th-century Paris. In one of his novels, Émile Zola described a woman “dressed in a gown of a dark color…between puce and the color of goose poop (caca d’oie).”

The blind leading the colour-blind! :)

Or better yet – Pepto Pink!

Puce sounds gross! Guess we’ll find out together what colour that is.

Puce= “puke” green.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=LGzgPt9-_DY

Jonah reminds me all too well of a person I know.

“Everything New,”

“Is OLD, Agsin.”

And now that Shannon’s “Head Quarters” the former laundry room is finished, it’s time for her to present her demands for 2019, Which include a PlayStation 4 (Which She SHOULD have gotten for Christmas) unlimited strawberry ice cream, daily trips to the water park, a boa constrictor, and a baby brother, so she can be jealous of the attention he’ll start receiving, and soon realize THAT demand was a BAD idea.

But Great Job Brad and Toni! One day, your love and above all, patience will be rewarded! In the meantime, have “fun” going to the laundromat……, ;)

Puce?

I suggest orange and purple. Go Tigers! Beat Bama!

Orange is better than shocking pink. I had a room that color when I bought the house. A friend got a house cheap. The walls were painted in vivid poster colors and the ceilings were black.

At times i stay awake at night wondering “Who takes care of Shannon Brad keeps her only a small part of the time?”

Enjoy your room while you can, Shannon. If Aunt Toni is going to have a baby (as some have predicted here,) she Bwad have three options, 1) turn your room into the baby’s room. 2) Finally “encourage” TJ to find a place of his own. Or, 3) do another remodel/addition. Guess which the easiest option is?

maybe she should have Luann consult on painting it?

I’ll be back when Shannon’s gone.;)

So, how many here went right to google to look up “puce”? Y’all know I did! Lol

TJ has been relegated into a strange kind of role lately. He kind pops up to instigate an arc, then is never around at the end of it.

Yay! No more sleeping on the couch for Brad!!!

It could be worse—it could be ochre and Alice blue—the colors of Bullwinkle’s alma mater Wossamotta U.

To answer Brad’s question: Puce is a dark red or purple-brown color.(it used to be a very popular clue in crossword puzzles)

etymology of the word: Puce is the French word for flea. The color is said to be the color of bloodstains on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea’s droppings, or after a flea has been crushed. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) dates the first English use of “puce” as a color to 1778.

The crooked studs? The slanted floor? Was that there originally, or was that Brad and TJ’s early remodeling work?

Hey, you two – if you ever get tired of firefighting, have you considered pitching a D-I-Y home remodeling show?

The story arc about the guest room is only slightly less annoying than the one about the guest house. It would be great if neither one were revisited in 2019.

Pale apricot with puce accents actually appear as a combo in a lot of paintings or photos (especially ones with sunsets and shadows) as well as in textiles including patterned bedspreads and sheets.

Puce? What colour is that? 68 years old, do not recall ever hearing of it

Is Brad confused by the color choice or is he not aware of what the color puce is? Gotta be honest with you I knew it was probably a color but not at all aware of what color.

And now I have to Google “puce”. Happy New Year Greg!

I think “puce” is Greg’s favorite “what the heck color IS that?” to mention.

Puce? Is Shannon a reincarnation of someone from the Victorian era?

Puce is a rather attractive color, despite the name, but maybe not ideal with orange. Odd that a moppet like Shannon would even know the word. —It occurs in a Gilbert & Sullivan lyric, and when I was little I guessed it must mean something like “greenish-yellow”. (Epic fail.)

Never mind the colors – his description of the problems encountered sounds as if he has been working in our house!

I know I don’t post here much, but: How does a six-year old know about puce?!

Goodbye 2018, you were kinder to me than 2017. But, like Toni and Brad, we are all doomed to end the year with the little Puce Goose, Bratzilla. Cheers.

I can identify. When my daughter was a young teen, she insisted on painting the playroom bright orange, and dark purple. When she moves out, that’s going to change, fast.

What the hell is Puce? Is it a color? Is it something that comes out of a kid? Or is it the color of something that comes out of a kid?

Beautiful color combination. Shannon has good taste.

I’m begging you —no more Shannon

This was, IMO, a pretty good set of Shannon panels today! I like that Shannon is being presented as happy and kid-like and that she is not being “demanding” of better gifts like she had been portrayed in the last few days. This is, IMO a really nice rendering of Shannon today.

In my manner of thinking…. painting is easy… so if I were Brad and Toni… I would let Shannon pick the wall colors. It only takes a day and a few coats of paint to renew a room if the colors grow tiresome or are especially obnoxious.

Shannon wants orange and puce. First, I like that Shannon knows the word “puce”. It is really not a bad color in the right application. And, there are an array of oranges that could be selected. If Toni and Brad are of a mind to, they could find a good (or at least reasonable) pairing of the two colors and give Shannon her “dream” bedroom. I would suggest one accent wall in puce and the other walls some sort of mild (perhaps “creamsickle”) orange.

Happy New years to all!

Maybe Brad & Toni need to wait 8 years to have a kid – so that Shannon will be able to baby sit. That would at least be some payback for all their help.

Puce: Of a dark red or purple-brown colour.‘his face was puce with rage and frustration’

So, is Shannon American or European? It makes a difference, as “puce” is a COMPLETELY different color in those two domains!

Oh, besides textiles and sunsets with those colors, Shannon may have seen certain flowers such as the Paprika Spice Daylily.

I know Shannon is excited but I keep wanting to tell her to use her indoor voice. My ears hurt when I read her dialogue. ;-)

For those that wonder how “puce” made it into Shannon’s vocabulary… it is mentioned in the Pixar movie, Monsters Inc., as a color of a duplicate copy of paperwork. “Oh, that’s puce…”

everyone be safe tonite!

according to google puce is a dark red or purple-ish brown color. I think it can work for a little girl’s room.

someone should teach the kid the facts of real life and learn to say NO!!!!!!!

Reminds me of an old detergent commercial (Tide, maybe?) … “Pomegranate and Puce?! FAR OUT !!”

I had to look up what puce looked like. Nope, sorry Shannon. How about terra cotta?

See what you did, Brad, by giving Shannon a lousy gift like a set of colored pencils? Pay-back time! (Next week she will demand the room be repainted “chartreuse” and “ecru”.)

isn’t Ecru a bird indigenous to Australia?

Wanna wish a happy 2019 to all here! And to Greg and Karen too!

“A Leak Of Their Own”

“I’ll Get Rot On It!”

Does anyone know what has happened to JayBluE? It’s been a month since he last posted here, and I’m becoming concerned. Can anyone contact him and let him know we’re thinking of him?

Their first hint that Shannon might be Color Blind.

Orange and puce? That doesn’t sound very pretty.

i’ve been laughing for a half an hour I thought she said orange and puke

Let Shannon have whatever bright and/or unusual colors she wants in her room. Just be sure to keep its door closed at all times….

If memory serves, there was a puce in the 64 crayon box when I was a boy.

Orange and puce would give you sort of a Halloween color scheme.

Is Kenneth Anger ghostwriting this week?

I think orange and puce would at least compliment each other.
