Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 29, 2022

Yikes! They really made a huge mess with all the marshmallows on everything. Clean it up, guys!

I feel bad for Toni who is exhausted and just wants to relax. I hope they keep quiet and let her enjoy her bath.

I don’t know.. there’s something not right about using Marshmallows as ammunition, to me. It seems wasteful. There are less fortunate people out there.. and we’re playing with our food? Should rather use ping pong balls etc.

So is Toni yet again going to put her foot down on Jonah as well as on T.J. and Brad when it comes to caving in on Shannon coming?

I had no idea eating marshmallows made you talk like Elmer Fudd. Or Baby Bear from SESAME STREET.

well Bwad…those marshmallows arent the only things about to be toasted!

If you put enough in your mouth at one time, they can be pretty funny!

And the conspiracy of silence begins. The Marshmallow Conspiracy! What next?

Tomorrow, Toni catching marshmallows in her mouth while soaking in the tub.

Bwad running the bath might keep him from sleeping on the couch tonight but if Shannon has eaten as many marshmallow as it has appeared, she is going to have one heck of a sugar rush. Actually that also goes for TJ and Bwad so there is gonna be a lot of hyperactive behavior for the next hour or so before the big crash.

Toni walks in and see marshmallows on her living room floor from her Husband Brad and is buddy TJ who were playing a game with her niece Shannon. All Toni wants to do is soak in the bathtub after a long day at work. Toni will remind Brad that you can’t give in to Shannon every whim.

I guess Toni is not impressed.

Is this going somewhere? If so, it’s running out of time! 8^ \

I keep waitong for the monster to show her fangs

I’m going to be really boring here and point out that firing foodstuffs into a mouth – especially a child’s mouth – is a really really stupid and dangerous idea. Choking, anyone? Even something the size of a giant marshmallow could choke a kid, and if they get the idea that throwing food into the mouth is fun then they will do it with peanuts or popcorn. And yes, I know this is a cartoon, and meant to be jolly fun and all that.

Firefighters are usually pretty busy over the holidays, so I am surprised that Brad is getting the time off if they are keeping Toni so busy that she comes home this exhausted.

Toni is just clarifying what they are doing and tomorrow she will pep up and join in on the fun.

Okay, I’ll help you with your coat, and “I’ll run a bath,” and I’ll tell the others to be quiet and not bother you. And, I’ll take care of YOUR niece, dumped off by YOUR brother on YOUR husband with no notice. And I know I won’t be getting any action tonight, although I should be getting some compensatory time in the sack for putting up with YOUR inconsiderate brother. Think about it, guy. This is your life, this is your future, and you’re going to be on Toni’s short leash and choker collar for the duration.

Shannon, TJ and Brad still manage to surprise Toni every time. You have to give them the credit for being original. I like the last panel, it shows how similar TJ and Shannon are and what a big patience Toni has.

Toni: “And you guys started without me?? Lemme see that thing!”

Hushmallows!

Geez, it’s time for 90s sitcom humor. Mom is responsible but Dad is a goofball.

Some years down the road, when the age difference has come to mean less than it does now, I can see TJ and Shannon becoming a couple.

At least the ants are happy.

You really shouldn’t play with your food, Shannon.

Toni might just turn around and go back to the fire station to get some rest. There’s too much bs going on at home. Brad knew Toni was on her way but he decided it was okay to make a big mess. All because he wanted to eat some marshmallows. Tch tch.

Yeah, you only trashed the house… And that one marshmallow that you didn’t find will attract ants..

I THINK We’re about to find out why Toni doesn’t want kids.

“Do you want ants? Because this is how you get ants!”

CHUBBY BUNNY! Rules are easy: Each player takes a marshmallow in turn; puts it in his/her mouth and says “Chubby Bunny”. Winner is the player with the most marshmallows in their mouth.

Hmmmmmm,never heard of crunchy marshmallows

Just looking at all those sticky marshmallows everywhere makes me sick…. say…. where’s the garden hose?

Brad better get those marshmallows out of the tub fast

Choking Hazard!

Time for an end of year inventory. Were there any highlights? Was Steffie raunchy enough? Did Tiffany live up to her old, sexy potential? Did anyone miss Ann Eiffel? Was Luann anywhere to be seen? Will Bernice ever fail to win the “wet dish rag award” ?

Jonah’s present to Shannon sure was a hit.

Well,at least we know marshmallows can’t break second story windows…..

quiet

Weally!

In Shannon’s defense, Brad and TJ did nothing to discourage it.

I think Toni is too tired to be mad about anything. I predict she will go along with whatever as long as there is not too much noise and chaos.

Tony’s a helluva lot hotter than Diane.

I bet Ann Eiffel could find some really creative and fun things to do with marshmallows. >:9

Will The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man make an appearance on New Year’s Eve? Y I K E S!

I decided to go back and read all the old strips. Up to Oct. 1988….can’t remember when I’ve laughed so hard.

@Fedup Bear The original “Gag A Day” strips were great – I have read the comic since its inception on March 17, 1985, read through the entire archives once, and am a bit over halfway through again, just reading a few here and there. LOL, if you keep reading, you will find that the strip from 09-19-1994 is missing. It shows the dates, but they are not correct. The strip for the 18th is on the 19th, but no strip for the 19th exists in the archives…

They aren’t going to eat the marshmallows on the floor are they?

Yeah, pig out, little children (Shannon, TJ, and sadly also Brad), and play “weo” quiet, ’cause “Antoni” (Aunt Toni) needs it and wants it! Sheesh! What louts the kiddies be!

What about a giant Sta-Puff man? “I couldn’t help it, he just popped into my mind!”

Shannon seems to be saying they’re not done yet?!
