Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 26, 2020

Your concern is underwhelming.

way to think things through, Leslie

Les is so glad that his cat is safe. ✨

Gunther wants to give Les a leg up! Bwaaaa, haaaa, haaaa!

NOW they can call the fire department, since it’s a PERSON rescue instead of a CAT rescue.

Hold the cat in one arm, climb down the ladder. Is it that hard? (That’s not sarcasm by the way)

There ought to be a taller ladder around there somewhere.

Gunther is being very helpful. His sarcasm is the only thing worthwhile in this dreary holiday story.

Well! This seems to be the set up for the big Thanksgiving Day panel. Hard to imagine what we’ll be presented with!

Toss the Kitty to Gunth and find a soft spot to land Les.

Wasn’t there a Seinfeld where Kramer bought a pro meat slicer, and at the end, Elaine was locked in a room and the rest of the crew was feeding her slices of meat and cheese that they could slide under the door?

Les isn’t missing much if he doesn’t have dinner with these clowns. And Mr. Gray probably bought a teeny tiny turkey, as it seems he can’t tell what’s big enough and what isn’t these days.

Truth: At the age of 11 I was dropping off roofs that high. Just sit on the edge and slip off holding the edge of the roof, then just drop the last 3-4 feet.

Never did it holding a cat though. May want to bag him/her and lower to someone on the ground first.

Al Gray life lesson – Leslie Knox will figure it out using his logic.

Call Degroots for taller ladder.

Way to go, Les! Look at that grin! And Punk in his arms. Dang! That panel is worth the sick feeling I had the last couple strips. Now—RING UP THE FIRE BRIGADE and get our lad and his cat off the freakin’ roof.

Two legs. One for the cat too

I think I’d rather have dinner with the cat than that family.

Les climb down the rainwater pipe.

Just in case anybody thought there was any redeeming value in Al – hope today’s strip sets everything straight.

We already know he doesn’t care about Gunther. Right, Mordy?

But now, we know he also doesn’t care about Les. Al looks more than ready to leave him up on the roof while he goes inside to eat.

Well I think we know where Thanksgiving is supposed to be this year in Luannverse. Interesting that Bets was just leaving on Thanksgiving or just before apparently. She nearly lives in the Gulag. Happy Thanksgiving Luannites! Be careful.

Al can easily get Les off the roof. See, the guest house was built with state-of-the-art, modern smart house technology. Al just has to go to the basement, stand in the “Elevator Area”, and step on the floor button. That’ll lower the whole first floor down into the basement so Les can then simply walk off the roof. But whatever you do. Al, DON’T PUSH THE RED BUTTON!

For all you young’ns, here’s what I’m talking about…

Looks like Les is gonna miss out on a good feed. I mean, it’s not like the other two are gonna help him get down anytime soon. Like rats deserting the sinking ship, they are…

Les rescuing Punk is the best bit of character development in this strip for a long time. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! <3 =^;^=

Throw a turkey leg up there for Punk, then see if Les wants some creamed peas. One at a time.

.

To all who celebrate, have a great Thanksgiving. To those who do not, have a great day as well! Peace, y’all…

I get the point of this.. Basically we’ll do anything for our pets :)

Poor Les. Has Ann for a mother and Al for a uncle. Les, maybe it is better to just stay up on the roof. But wait, as soon as she finds out what is going on, there is Irma to give some motherly comfort and caring.

Toni and Brad show up and make it a family thanksgiving

When I was a kid and my ball would get stuck behind the chimney, I’d climb up on the roof to get it without a ladder (I climbed up on the bricks) and then just jump to get down again. I landed on a concrete patio (other options were the flower bed or bushes, but the patio seemed better), but I never broke anything.

Sheesh..

Hook the gravy up to the garden hose!

Go get him a bigger ladder, boys! And toss little Punky down so the men can catch him in a blanket.

:-))

Les loves his little Punk, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he?

Tuck cat in shirt and scuttle down the way you came up. Bear the scars on your chest for a few months.

The important thing is that Punk is with Les, no longer scared and alone♡. BRAVO LES! Gunther’s offer is very nice. But taking the table out to the garden and having dinner with Les on the roof would be memorable! Or wait for the firefighters to rescue him and Punk, then inviting the firefighters to dinner with them.

Another Luann tempest in a teapot. Toss Punk down to Irma (trust me, they will both survive their respective bumps.) Then have Les lower himself from the roof and then drop the next three feet into the interlinked arms of Gunther and Uncle Al. After a quick brush up all parties will be ready and able to partake of Irma’s holiday feast. I hope all the characters enjoy every minute of their holiday, and I hope every reader of this strip enjoys every minute of this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to One and All!

I do not think that Les thought about the possible consequences of that endeavor before he attempted it.

Jump. Did it all the time when I was a kid. Wearing my superman cape that was useless.

Carefully drop Punk down to Gunther who will then be Punk’s private scratching post!

Get a pillowcase, throw it to Les he puts the cat in lowers the cat and gets down the way he got up. Geez

When I was a 10 year old child, I used to jump off our house. All the kids in the neighborhood jumped off houses and out of trees. We pretended we were commandos, and yelled “Happy Landings!”

ENOUGH.

Dinner’s getting cold.

Gunther? Call the local fire department to rescue your “step-cousin who doesn’t think things thru,” off the roof.

And alert the local CBS/ABC/NBC affiliates. I’m sure the Media would just LOVE a swell human interest story like this, and broadcast on the 6 o’clock news. “Troubled Teen Saves Cat from Roof!” Besides, local news outlets pay for news tips. So Gunny might as well get something out of this SINCE-HIS-CREATORS-DIDN’T-SEE-FIT-TO-GIVE-HIM-A-PET.

H3LL, Les might even wind up with a girlfriend or two or two out the publicity. Right on up until they get a load of his (GAG) bedroom…….., ;)

It is nice of Gunther to offer Les a leg up.

Throw him a rope, must be something he can tie it to. And a tote bag for kitty.

It’s a simple math problem. Step stool 3 feet … Gunther stand on stool – from shoulders to his feet adds another 5 feet…Les turn around and dangle legs off roof and stand on Gunter’s shoulders- only takes about 3 feet. Slowly descend …with Les holding on to the house. Let’s go eat!

Man, I thought Mr. Grey was taking a picture of them.

Les’s grin as he holds Punk says it all; he cared more about Punk’s safety than his own. At first i thought there would be an accident (G&K allowed a bowling ball to drop on Luann’s foot, putting her in the emergency room w/ a fracture). I think there will be some group effort to get these two down followed by a Thanksgiving dinner.

How in the world did the kitty even get up there in the first place?

This reminds me of the time I was visiting the Gettysburg battlefield and there was bunch of teenage boys horsing around on the rocks at Devil’s Den, which is a large boulder formation. One of them thought it would be a great idea to climb down onto one of the lower boulders. Well, he made it, but then realized he was stuck, because he couldn’t get off. It was too high to jump to the ground and he couldn’t climb back up because the rock was too sheer. Not sure how he got down but I imagine the National Park Service wasn’t happy.

Is it wise to feed turkey to a kitten?

By now, Bernice’s “brother” is back in Africa in the Peace Corps never to be seen again…..

Toss the cat down to one of the guys on the ground.

Got punk’d, more like.

A peaceful and safe Thanksgiving to all.

gonna go stuff my face. :-)

The commenters who say that the fire department should be called are the same people who said Frank or Brad needed to drive out to the campsite to save the girls from a rainstorm. What is it with you guys insisting that these grown adults constantly need to be rescued from mild inconveniences?

So THAT’S where the term “getting a leg up” comes from…

From cat on a hot tin roof to Les on a hot tin roof.

Hand off the cat to Gunny or Uncle Al. Then, hang down over the edge and drop yourself the last few feet. No problemo!

Kitties are good and worth the risk!

Toss the cat down, after getting oven mits.
