Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 09, 2020

yikes!!!!! The straw that breaks the camel’s back. !!!!!!—

We are going from Namaste to Nasty!!

Tiffany Farrell , about to do something ill-advised in 3…2….1….., ;)

Ruht-Roh … ✨

have fun at that, Tough-any

Beware Tiffany, Security Cameras!!!!!!!

Go get ’er Tiger!!

At least Tiff’s things are still there; Ann didn’t throw them out. I’m surprised Ann left it all piled up in a corner instead of having it moved to cellar or attic, or at least one of the extra bedrooms.

Wait, Tiffany, you are assuming that Ann did this. It is possible that Tom pushed your stuff! Tom loves Ann.

Be careful that you aren’t playing a game and Ann’s playing for keeps.

Okay. A lot of us assumed Ann got rid of her stuff. She did not. She just hastily and haphazardly packed them. Well, gotta say this is better than donating or selling her stuff. Still, why her room if there’s so many other rooms? Surely there are several guest rooms, reading rooms or dens. Admittedly, for myself, I would consider these rooms as Tom’s who still lives there and might be upset about changing those rooms. His daughter is away at college and isn’t using the room. I might choose that room. However, I would ask Tom first. How would he feel about repurposing his daughter’s bedroom from a teenage bedroom to a yoga room. He might offer to convert another room. I doubt Ann asked, though. Tom has so many room and it is likely his bedroom is at one end of the house where he spends most of his time so he might not be aware what Ann is doing with other rooms while he was away from the house and apparently does not care to know.

Tiff, think this out before you do something very stupid.

“That’s all I can stands, cuz I can’t stands n’more!”

At the rate this is going and all the crap Greg’s been putting Tiffany through, I’m fearing she will be driven to suicide.

Start fighting NOW, Tiffany!!

Go after Ann Awful, then take residence in another strip. No future for you in this h3llish place other than being Greg’s punching bag.

Good news: Tiffany’s stuff was not stuffed in a garbage can (as some speculated yesterday – which itself was not a bad speculation)

Bad news: “Two can play this game,” says Tiffany. What could possibly go wrong?

Other than, Tiffany’s revenge schemes usually don’t work out well – for Tiffany.

I hope for once Tiffany comes out on top. Ann really deserves to be tossed out of that home. Greg and his daughter created one nasty character.

I’m afraid Ann’s played it a lot longer, Tiff, and is anticipating your tantrum…justified or not.

Tiffany, take your stuff, sell it, and disappear. Let your dad look for you everywhere. I personally think Tiffany needs to go to Paris and work for Simone. She should tell Simone everything her dad has done. Tiffany knows a lot about fashion, makeup, beauty—she could do very well in this field. She doesn’t need college at this point in her life.

Well, we’re finally getting to the reason for this arc.

It’s about time…

(Tiff) “Time for some fun at her expense!”

Yess!! C’mon Tiffany! Get it girl!!

It is about damned time she stick up for herself!

TIFFANY SMASH!!!!!

We’ve got a week to see how this plays out. I doubt Tiff will do anything stupid.

Fighting fire for fire seldom works and usually ends in backfire instead. You’ll probably end up being fed up and leaving anyways to greener pastures. Just set it up temporarily for your needs, and stash it somewhere for next time is best where they would not find it in that monster mansion.

Be careful, Tiffany! Step 1. Check inside to see if the boxes really ARE your stuff. Step 2. If it’s yours, it’s bait. If it’s not yours, it’s still bait. Step 3. Even though it looks like a jumble, it’s carefully arranged to explode. You can’t smell a minefield. That requires a dog like Les.

when will the dad dump Ann? I mean this is getting old and she needs to be gone. however, Tiffany is growing up, so that’s a good thing!

Plot device!

I think Evil Annie left all those boxes for Tiff to take. That way, she and Tommy – boy will be rid of her and all her stuff.

The war continues!!!

No Toff, Ann wins you loose. When are you going to learn

Will Tiffany finally get revenge on Ann? We will find out!

Instead of “playing a game”, why not just pick up the phone and report her to the cops for her felonious lingerie scam? Naaahh… Gotta play games, not achieve results!

The house is big enough. She didn’t need TIff’s room for yoga!

check the boxes

Revenge is not going to happen.At Borderline, Zane ask for a transfer for Ann to Tokyo. At Weenie World, TJ con Ann to quit her job. Who can con Ann or ask for favorite that cause Ann to leave town? Tiffany try to con a professional grifter but it backfired.

Tom would disinherited Tiffany in a heartbeat and give everything to Ann.

I do believe that we have seen the first shot in a war. Only one person is going to be left standing. Who is it going to be?

Provoked by an expert to do something childish. Poor Tiffany.

REVENGE! This is going to be juicy!

Plot twist: yoga studio is for Tiffany as a gift.

The boxes in the corner has no furniture.Did Tiffany take the furniture to Moony University and later sold it?

Time for this story to find a conclusion. Getting old.

I understand Tiffany’s feelings. But this will not end well. That will made everything worse, especially because her dad is totallyon Ann’s side. The good news is that Tiffany’s stuffs are not in a dump.

Let the games begin!

is tiff’s bed in one of those boxes?

This should definitely be good.

I don’t see how this ends well for Tiffany. What would “victory” look like? Did Tiffany have a relationship with her father before Ann arrived?

Finally! I’d like to get my hopes up that this will finally be Tiffany putting Ann in her place, but every time I do, Tiffany still gets the short end of the straw. Let’s hope not this time!

Last time Tiff was shown this angry (https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2019/11/30) she sold all her stuff.

Is there a yard sale in the offing, ala https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2018/08/08?

It appears Tiff is looking for Ann’ stuff to box up or sell or donate. I wonder where Tiffany will look to find Ann’s boudoir/vanity/walk-in closet? There are so many ways this could go; mild to Ooh La La!

The fuse is now lit. What will the explosion look like and what will be the effects?

If Ann doesn’t care about Tiff, she should teach that wicked witch a lesson.

What is so sick is that there are actually people that are so full of entitlement that they’ll do this. And what is REALLY a concern is there are such desperate widowers (and widows) that settle for such a shame. It happens all of the time. Poor child. Talk about feeling unloved. No wonder she’s angry and afraid. It hurts. Let’s see if the Dad loves the new wife more than his daughter. Some do but I pray not in a comic strip. Maybe she’ll just pack the evil step mom’s stuff up and put it outside the door. We shall see….

Getting interesting

Looks like the mouse is gonna bell the cat!

Ah! Not much exploring, some exploding and a definite exit. What’s she got on her mind? Oh, the suspense!

I’m sure Ann couldn’t risk a theft charge by getting rid of TIFF’s things. And I hope whatever Tiff cooks up, and if she involves someone else, it doesn’t backfire! :-o

My mom turned my old bedroom into a ‘walk-in’ closet. This only caused me to realize what an absolutely tiny bedroom I’d had, back when.

I am surprised that anything of Tiffany’s is still there. I’m glad she has gotten her ire up. Go get her, Tiff!

Annnnnnd…Here we go!

Unfortunately these writers don’t give the Tiffany character the mental ability to do anything intelligent in this situation, so it will probably be another fiasco with the much more clever Ann winning again…this is getting predictable and boring.

Or donated to Goodwill. But that would mean Ann cares about others.

This is where Tiff, while going through Annie’s stuff, finds more evidence against her.

For some reason we have been witnessing The Fall of Tiffany over the last few years. From sexy and having a stage to flaunt her stuff on, to alone, dumpy, and under attack by Ann. Might as well go and watch the TV news.

If Tiff thinks she can do a tit-for-tat, it’ll backfire on her. Since her stuff is right there, I would redecorate the bedroom the way it originally was and then leave it that way. Put the mat and anything else that doesn’t belong in one of the boxes. Frankly, since Tiff’s stuff is still there, I think Ann is setting up some sort of trap.

Two can play that game…but Ann is so much better at it than Tiffany in the case of manipulating Tiff’s Dad.

Yay!!! Go git her Tiff!

“I’m going to go make something of myself, and never have to ask Ann for anything ever again!”

AND… Going through all that trouble to clear the space for yoga and NOT taking the clutter/boxes out all the way? Ann is no true yogi… Simply a childish bully who is constantly threatened by the world. Go away!

Yay! Finally! It’s about time you stood up for yourself, Tiffany!

Take time to sort thru your stuff now.

Win by not playing the game…

Plan smart, Tiff; plenty of folks would be glad to help out!

Waytogo Tiff!

Glad to see Tiffany’s stuff didn’t end up at the dump.

But Tiffany, I wouldn’t go messing around with Ann’s stuff, since it’s pretty clear who’s in charge at that house. It won’t end well for you.

Find a place to live, take your stuff (sell what you don’t need), and forget the house sitting “ favor.”

so after the expected short-term tantrum , the question becomes then what ?

Tiffany has had many challenges since being in college. She stood up to them, did her best with minimal whining, and has grown as a character. She sees more now than just her looks in a mirror. She has probably grown more than any other females in the strip. (Brad grew up more, overall.) I think Tiffany has to either come out on top of this now or just fall and fail.

I bet she can find an unused room to take over. And if she doesn’t tell Ann, no one will know and it will go undisturbed.

Here we go! House-trashin’ party at the Farrell place!

Maybe Tom is not dumb and oblivious to Ann’s activities. Maybe he is in cahoots with her in criminal activities. He may be a bigger crook than she is. People are usually attracted to people with similar qualities. Tom may know all about the lingerie scam.

Sadly, I predict a predictable “end” to this arc. Tiff will try to get even. It will backfire. Ann will win again. And Tom will remain oblivious. Tiff will be in trouble. The end. Really, can’t you guys get creative? And say…isn’t the title of the strip “Luann?” Can we please get back to Lu finally falling for Jack? Or something other than “let’s see how miserable we can make Tiff this week?”

Go Tiff Go . What ever she does i hope it works .

Que the “jaws” music….

What is Ann’s ultimate objective? To marry Tom and control Tiffany? What’s the source of her control issues? Gunther needs to come in and save the day, stat, with his bravery and social adeptness.

And what’s in the “Luann 6-9” box?

I’ve said it many times today. Just in case anyone missed it:

Tiffany “winning” against Ann, getting Tom back, is probably the worst case scenario here.

The “new” Tiffany that many of us have come to love is the Tiffany who is striking out on her own, mistakes notwithstanding. She has grown.

The “old” Tiffany was the spoiled “poor little rich girl” who, quite frankly, was the villain of this strip – at least until the Ann Clan (including Al and Les) came along. I would hope that no one wants to see Tiffany return to those days.

And that is the biggest potential risk if Tiffany “wins” against Ann:

The return of Tiffany the witch.

If Ann doesn’t get “caught” by Tiff’s Dad soon, I’m going to scream. No one should get away with everything she has done for THIS LONG! I agree with ZeMastor….Tiff honestly didn’t know any better in high school with her horribly sheltered and emotionlly deprived upbringing.

Let the game of throwin’s begin!

I had a horrible thought… suppose that Tiff (either this week, or later) acts on her “heat of the moment” decisions and does something to either destroy, or sell/dispose of Ann’s property for “revenge” (and maybe run off to Paris afterwards).

Anyone think Ann will let her off easy? Ann might not even need Tom, or his insurance company. Nooooo….. Ann would hunt Tiff down like a dog, and eventually a deal can be cut… go to jail, or pay me back with interest. Under the same terms that Les paid Ann back for stealing from her. A form of indentured servitude where Tiff’s hard-earned money from her job (The Fuse, with Simone, etc.) goes to Ann, who fritters it away on trips to Cartier’s.

Whatever Ann is willing to do to her own son, she’d be twice as willing to do to Tiff!

I really hope Ann gets her due, and soon. I’m so sick of snotty people who abuse others and get everything they want.

Hopefully, Tiff will do a shift at the Fuse during which she talks things out among cooler heads e.g. Nancy, before acting in some irrational way that could hurt her going forward.

You go girl! Do your baddest!

Lock and load, Tiff.

Tiff finally gets tiffed off! Have an ‘estate sale’, till the estate is empty. Then sale the estate. Put it in an offshore account, then go offshore to be near it.

This is exactly what I was afraid of. Tiffany is listening to yesterday’s commenters.

Now if i be Tiff i throw a wild party and have the house trashed

Alright… This has gone on long enough! Ann Eiffel has gotten away with too many things for far too long. And the worst part of it is that Tom Farrell has deliberately been turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to his daughter’s suffering at Ann’s hands.

If Tom really wants to have that horrible woman controlling his life, FINE! But it has to be just his life, not Tiffany’s as well. He has no right expecting her to just follow suit, completely ignoring her reasons for not liking Ann.

Tiffany needs to use this time to look for a nice, little apartment. By the time Tom and Ann return, Tiffany will have moved out for good. Perhaps, if anything, leave a goodbye note. Then, she can focus on studying cosmetology, and make steps to starting her own business. The less she thinks of her father and Ann Eiffel, the better.

It will be up to Tom to decide if he misses his little girl enough that he finally wants to be a part of her life. Of course, chances are he’ll still need Ann’s permission.

You go, girl!

The “fun” begins. I am late commenting, and I will read through the long near 500 comment thread, but I am waiting a bit before I jump in and predict.

My first thought was that the Mat was supposed to be Tiffany’s new Bed to fit her status as an Unpaid Maid.

[ ✨√✨ ] Like™

And… away we go !!

Ann really needs to be taught a lesson

Just like women who like “bad” boys, there are men like “naughty” girls like Ann. If true, Tiffany can’t win back her father.

It’s time for Tiffany to cut her losses (forget Ann) and start her new business.

Yay, Tiff! That’s the attitude! BUT you gotta make sure that you do this right and thoroughly, because if you don’t succeed, the Wicked Witch will eat you alive….

Call TJ, Tif. TJ knows how to get under Ann “Awful” Eiffel’s skin.

Really, I thought she would have sold it all on Ebay

Nobody puts Baby in a corner!!!
