Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 21, 2022

oh, Jack trying to hit on Luann again or something? she’s not picking up your signal, pal

Triangle Incoming? ✨

Luann.. I think you should ask Jack out on a date. =)

Well, Luann arcs usually do last two weeks…

Jack’s head is looking particularly flat today.

It’s not weird at all, Luann. Lots of us adore a slobbery furball.

I wish Luann and Jack would get together. I’ve been wishing it since 2016, when he was so gung ho to ask her out and she wouldn’t accept.

Is Love in the air? Nope, that’s the scent of dog poop.

Jack gets off a zinger! good one Jack!

Didn’t see this coming

Since when am I the love of Luann’s life? OHHHH, that’s not what she meant.

Bonding over a mutual love of animals – there are a lot worse bases for a relationship! I like it. Hope it goes somewhere.

Yes, it is weird

Nope, nope no way! Mr. and Mrs. Evans will not allow Luann to have a romantic and solid relationship. Nope, nope nope! We can’t have that!

Jack the only love that Luann has is not for you but for Puddles.

I thought Jack wanted to be a vet tech, not a vet?

Jack keeps trying…

Knick Knack, Patty Whack, Jack is back!

Since Luann went to the dog park, and IF she brought Puddles with her, where is he? Surely we cannot have the same dog go missing two weeks in a row, so I guess she did not bring him.

Another week of Puddles?

Where is Bernice and Nil?

Hey, Jack is a comedian!

What a joy to see Luann and Jack together talking about how much they love dogs ♡. Luann wonders if her love for Puddles is weird. I know several people who panic if something happens to their beloved dog, I think it’s a nice thing and Jack probably loves that side of Luann, because he is like that too. I think there’s really a good chemistry between them, Jack is nice and Luann likes to talk to him.

Anyone else notice how frequently animals (especially dogs) are in TV ads nowadays?

Even in those not for pet products??

Not hard to figure out; these days, it’s our “fur babies” who stand between humans and total insanity!!

Am I the only one to notice that insane bug-eyed expression on Luann’s face in panel 1?

Why is Jack always drawn like a block of concrete fell on his head?

Is she referring to Nil? Or Ox? Maybe Tiffany!

The “love of your life” has about 12 years to live – at most. It’s time to think “human”, Luann.

It’s even worse when the love of your life is a ball of fur that purrs and is only affectionate on her own terms.

What we have here is Failure to Communicate.

I do hope Jack’s kidding! Lol!

Puddles is the only man that Luann needs in her life. Unlike humans, pets will never leave your side.

Shannon, on the other hand, felt nothing. Didn’t notice Luann was upset, didn’t feel compelled to ask what was wrong. Demon brat sails through another storyline without consequences.

Hark, the “dog park.”

Someone here called this “development” last week.

And look. There’s Jack. What a sur-prise.

So once again, We have Lu and Jack alone together in a “tinderbox,” of sorts.

Will there finally be a “spark” this time around?

Or will a “Kaylie” suddenly pop up?

Or WORSE, Bernice’s name?

OR, will Jack go all “wingman” and offer to help Lu find a new B/F?

Other than him? ;-)

I loved seeing my big greyhound playing with other dogs. They would run together and he would tease them by by bouncing along in the pack, then set a smirk on his face and take off, laughing at them trying to keep up.

Depending on what he does with the slobbery tongue, no.

Now is this leaning toward somewhere romantically? I won’t bite just yet, but Jack got the gag down pretty much.

I’d love to see Jack ask Luann out on a date but I suspect if that happens then Bernice will somehow get involved either in the form of a double date (stay out of the bowling alley this time) or she will somehow try too psychoanalyze the situation or somehow not like the idea as she had the hots for Jack before she hooked up with Nil…… Right now less Bernice is a good thing.

Luann he’s tohere for the taking good old muscle head

No, she has a dog!

I don’t know … a pleasant afternoon in the park, with a friend, shooting the breeze about your pets. It doesn’t sound too bad to me.

But is Jack being sarcastic or serious?

funniest punch line in months

Good one, Jack! The big lug has compassion for animals and a shrewd wit as well. Take heed, Luann (although we know you won’t).

Two friends should be able to have a nice time at the park without everyone thinking they need to date or get married. Stop all the pressure. Jack and Luann are good friends.

who knew he had a sense of humor

Luann, regular readers don’t think it’s weird at all :)

ZING!

Sounds like she got herself a cunning linguist

Her happiness is his happiness.

It’s the set up for Puddles passing away.

I think the art looks a little bit different, too. Not bad——just different. It’s close to Greg but not quite the same. I wonder if we are getting a new artist?

Wish I could take my dog to the dog park but she is very aggressive toward other dogs. I guess I am her favorite round fur ball with a slobbery tongue.

I’m beginning to think that Luann’s disasterous date-pic date was GnK’s way of saying that there willl be no more romance in Luann’s life. In a way Greg took the Quill storyline as far as he could short of a proposal and he doesn’t want to repeat himself.

LOL!!!

Is Elwood Druit returning to Luann? He’s short.

I like seeing Luann and Jack together. It’d be nice to see them try to date again.

Uh-huh. Where’s Puddles now, Luann? Running loose in the Dog Park?

Jack is able to deflect any pass Luann may make at him. His joke in panel 3 is scorching, IMO….

Sound good to you, ladies? I’m available! 8)

Acne or 5 o’clock shadow?
