I wonder if Luann is telling her parents “i’m a mature adult, so don’t get mad if you walk in on me and a guy having sex.” Hey Luann, if you want to get intimate with a guy, go to a hotel or take it to HIS place. Don’t have sex in your parents house.
I remember a few years ago Luann walked in where Frank and Nancy were sitting and said, “I got it done.” Frank and Nancy gave each other the look. I think this was when Luann was dating Quill.
I think this is an earlier strip, possibly from the Quill era, when Luann knew she was a pretty girl with a hunky boyfriend and dressed and acted accordingly.
This feels like one of those high school era strips to me. Suggesting cleaning her room or drinking coffee? High school kids drink coffee these days. As for drinking underage, she would never tell them.
Lu’s new career move may likely involve wearing an Elvira, Mistress of the Night wig, hot pants, net stockings, stiletto heels, and standing on a street corner downtown.
I wonder how often Frank nagged Brad to clean up his room? We know that Brad was a slob in the living room. Or does Frank only nag his daughter? Because it seems like Frank’s only interaction with Luann is nagging her to clean up her room. Seems terrible sexist to me,
Clearly, Frank is fantasizing. My guess is that Luann may start having a beer with her…I was going to say “friends,” but maybe I should just leave it at “acquaintances”….

It won’t be drinking coffee. She tried it once and spit it out. Cleaning her room sounds more like wishful thinking.

I think it is drinking alcohol.
overtherainbow about 3 years ago
Alcohol, maybe sex—Frank and Nancy can’t even go there. Most parents would get there in a hot nanosecond.

You need a guy to start what most of us had pop into our brain. Unless she’s looking for a rando on Tinder.

Whatever it is, just be responsible, Luann, and wait until you are 21 to drink alcohol.

Start?

‘Clean her room?’ Frank’s been riding that monkey for 35 years. You would think he has dementia the frequency that he brings it up.

Well “gee,” Lu.
By “caught” Do you mean:
1) Counterfeiting?
2) Grand Larceny?
3) Selling fake COVID cards?
4) Voter Suppression?
5) Evading Federal Taxes?
6) Walking around in public without a mask?
7) Drinking and Driving and Drinking?
8) Illegal Catfighting?
9) Fishing without a license?
10) Releasing at bunch of balloons as some half baked “memorial tribute” only to find said balloons have knocked the power out at a nearby substation?
11) Climbing into Gunther’s bedroom window at 2 AM for a “surprise” visit, and God help you if Bets is already there? ;)

If you thought it was a good idea to announce to your parents that you’re mature enough to do something, you’re probably not.

I don’t know why they’re confused. This is perfectly normal behavior for Luann. It means that she has decided to become a cat burglar.

Luann constantly talking about how mature she is reminds me of an 8-year-old saying how grown up they are now.

She’s “gaslighting” them.
I remember an old ZITS arc where the title character painted his room black.
Not because he wanted to,but because he enjoyed hearing the grown-ups makereally bad guesses abut why he did it.

why is there so much detail drawing Nancy and so little creating Frank? He is almost invisible if he weren’t sitting next to his wife? Bernie270
