Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 01, 2022

Sounds like Bernice has off-screen found something more musing.

Trouble is brewing

AH-HA! A surprise palindrome emitting from the now inspired muse-person. Pray tell, What could it be to elicit such emotion?!

Dull, uninspired shirts? Or shorts? Maybe shoes.

Shirts?

Does clothing matter much when the muse only inspires to draw body parts?

It’ll be a replica of Nil’s garb.

the plot thickens!

Bernice finds her old favorite plaid shirt that her mom donated to Goodwill!

Totally agree with Luann’s last phrase. But I hope that “Ah-HA!” Was Bernice finally finding something way more interesting of her usual clothes than she loves instantly. Can’t wait to see what it is. Something really classic and serious, something totally weird or something really simple and cute? Will Nil like it? And Luann?

Luann being a little snarky.

Hmmm… Must have found a RED plaid shirt on the rack

Luann, you have the wrong idea of what a muse is. Whatever idea you got from the movies where muses wore silky gowns, the reality is a muse is whatever the ARTIST draws inspiration and creativity from. You reduced the muse to a certain type. Muses can look like anything that attracts the artist. Bernice happens to be Nil’s, just the way she looks. She is NOT the first muse to look, to quote you, “dull, uninspiring.” It is just your opinion and Nil begs to differ. And speaking of “dull, uninspiring,” take a look in the mirror. You can use a makeover. Tiff gave Bernice one so she might do it for you. Your creator is stuck in a time warp.

Bernice: “I’m not a leather and sarong type.”

Bernice is more of a ‘goodbye’ and ‘so long’ type…

??????!

Bernice interrupted Luann. How rude! I wish comics would let 20 somethings talk like they actually do.

I think she found something on the Greg 7-1 rack.

Find something?

“Ah-Ha?”

Has Bernice just discovered her ex B/F, Zane hanging from the rack?

Time to move on from this story arc.

I don’t think I’d want used clothing, either.

Who knows WHO wore them last!!

So long everyone. Strip is going nowhere fast so I’m switching to ‘Dark Side of the Horse.’

SH-whaaaaaaaat?

Apparently for Bernice a sarong is just wrong

YAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNN! Looking forward to a Shannon Arc after this.

Cliffhanger…

a hat? scarf? piece of jewelry?

The current story line is moving along like turtles tromping through peanut butter.

Is Bernice gonna be wearing sexy, revealing clothing?

Will she come out dressed like the 13th Doctor?

and all for nothing really, Nil is inspired by unseen things we can’t predict….

Those shiny shorts are sex-shy!

Let me guess——-Bernice found a pair of blue pants with a grid pattern to match the shirt she’s holding. :P

Aw, come on, Luann. You’re the one trying to foist your ideas of a muse on Bernice. She knows herself well enough to know what she doesn’t want. Maybe she’s found a scarf, hat, or Nil. He may shop there as well. I’d say Dez, but she’s out of the country. Whatever it is, Bernice seems enlightened! Lol!;-)

TOGA! TOGA!

Last panel Bernice interrupted Luann as Luann just started to describe Bernice’s dull, uninspired clothes as “sh**”.

Looks like she found her new look!

Leather and sarong? How about grass skirts and half coconut shells?

Doesn’t Luann realize what a farce this whole muse thing is? I can’t believe anyone would take it seriously, even if it is their delusion so-called best friend. She better be careful – if the worm turns Bernice will rip her head off.

So who else thinks she changes herself and he finds her less inspiring?

I am SO over this “muse” BS. I never thought I’d say that about a Luann strip.

My guess is she found a leisure suit and disco shoes.

Well, this has been a waste of 2 weeks

Most people (with any strong sense of self) don’t want others to pick out their clothes for them. Even if you were to end up picking out the same thing, you want to do it yourself. Luann should know better but she craves doing this kind of thing.

uh oh

“Fussy-Wuzzy”

“An AH-HA! Moment”

“Twice As Fine”

“(♪♫) I Want You To Want To”

“Valley Of The Dulls”

By the way, in Panel 1, Bernice confirmed what I said a day or so ago, that this was Luann’s idea.

Don’t leave us hanging what did you fine Bern?

I bet she found an “eye patch” and a “sock hat”.

Bernice can switch to ARCHIE COMICS and change her name to MISS GRUNDY.

She only had one outfit,too.

cue the ominous music

“…dull, uninspired sh. Terrible choice.”

Luann is not a-MUSE-d.

FYI Berniece is NOT wearying a lumberjack shirt—nor is it plaid. Lumberjack shirts don’t have short sleeves and plaid has more than one color.

Glad they didn’t let her finish that sentence.

Only one to wear uninspired shiboozy?

I doubt if any Ah-Ha! payoff can save this inanity. Bernie wants to remain frumpy. So be it….

“I have found perfection as I define perfection. No other definition matters.”
