Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 03, 2023

Wow! Not much of a pool party. Hard to believe everyone else she knows was gone for the summer.

So I assume the splash we just heard was made by Kip?

Tiff better come up with something like bird watching to answer Bernice. lol

.

So why wouldn’t she invite Ox or Les ?

Now it’s coming into focus

Tiffany, you can invite friends over without calling it a party.

This has been a disaster of a arc. Four weeks ago Tiff was trying to explain to Stef that nothing would happen. Between the setup on Monday and the surprise on Saturday, the week just repeated the one joke four times. Three weeks ago Tiff was going back and forth between peeping at Kip and being embarrassed about it. Again between the setup on Monday and the surprise on Sat the four days in between just repeated its self. Two weeks ago we had three days of “Luann can’t write” before shifting to Tiffany is frustrated. We could have happily skipped over the first three days. Last week we had three days of “Luann can’t write” before sliding into the invite to the pool party. This week we have had three forgettable days getting to the party only to find out that there is no party. Tiffany wants a chaperone so she can talk to Kip. Looking back G&K could have done week one in three days and fill out the week with three days of peeping followed by three days of Tiffany screwing up at work and three days of the bogus party invite. In short G&K could have told the last month’s worth of story in two fast paced, interesting weeks leaving room for Tiffany to actually talk to Kip about his feeling towards Stef, her and football. In the words of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail:” Gett On With It!

So much for our feeble hopes of past characters reappearing.

They are now definitely gone. For more than the summer.

Aw, Come ON.

Tiffany, wanting backup in order to be around some joker that she has the hots for??

The “old” Tiffany would NEVER do something like that!

Never in Millon Years!

I Swear, THIS is almost as Bad an idea as the time Gunther invited Tiffany for dinner at his folk’s house as a “distraction,” only to get end up getting jealous when Les predictably started flirting with her.

Now, more than EVER, Who is this blonde gal, and WHAT has she done with the REAL Tiffany???

To quote a famous movie line: The Sleeper Awakens! This could easily qualify as, what Luann1212 would call, a midweek Switcheroo!

Apparently Tiff has somewhat villainous plan laid out to capture the undivided attention of one Kip Lee. But! How does she plan to carry it out by inviting two other females. One (B) that is experiencing a newfound sensuality and, another (L) who pines in her own way and was (still is?) a major rival and attention competitor.

Three days for the plan to become overt!

Luann, you look like you have an appendage on the back of your head rather than a ponytail.

Kip just might like Luann. She’s the opposite of Stef – and cute enough.

“Three on a match means bad luck,” but maybe not for Kip.

BUSTED ,

Disappointing. She didn’t even invite Ox, who’s also a friend of Kip’s? So who was in that back room when Luann and Bernice came in? That didn’t appear to be just shadows.

And, pretty little blossom in Tiff’s hair. Is this some kind of omen that she is going to be deflowered?

They should at least order in some Domino’s pizza.

So Tiffany invited the heavy competition. That’s a lot of confidence!!

Ox and Les weren’t invited. Stef is with her family, Gunther and Bets are traveling, Dez is doing volunteer work. Tiffany doesn’t know anyone else well enough to invite them.

Bird watching, Bernice. LOL!

Mortified or a new hobby?

How about the person sitting behind the laptop?

In the February 24, 1992 strip, Tiffany goes over Bernice’s house with all her make-up and completely makeovers her hair, face, and wardrobe.

Snag!! Lucky the binocs don’t have a memory ..

Tiff is so cute. And one of the most real people in the strip. Love her!

If they do end up sharing pool time with Kippy, my guess is Bernice will end spilling to Kip about Tiff’s rather creepy habit of using binoculars to scope his bod from afar. It’s Bernice, you know she’d do it.

Either that or these 3 terminally repressed girls will all get dolled up in Tiff’s room but be too scared to mingle with Kip up close and just take turns ogling him with the binoculars.

For a moment I thought Tiffany was going to use the old trick for stay alone with Kip. But that would make sense if he hadn’t already been in her house for days, also she don’t seem bothered that Bernice and Luann are there. Even if I think she will soon regret Bernice’s presence… I wonder what Tiffany’s intentions are and what she expects Luann and Bernice to do. Do she hope they’ll support her or will stop her with Kip? I can imagine Bernice telling her to go for it and forget of all her doubts or promises, while Luann telling her not to do that because she’s better than this.

Tiff certainly did tidy up Luann’s hair.

I keep my binoculars in the car … can’t tell you how many times that has come in useful when I spot some unusual critter off in the distance.

LOL Kippee’s gonna have a four-way LOL LOL

Who throws an “epic” pool party at the last minute, with full knowledge that most people are out of town for the summer?

WWA❤️ED? Leave. Why in Heaven’s name would ❤️Eiffelettes Sexy❤️Luann and even Tuff❤️Tiff want to watch Dippy Kippy skinny dipping flopping around like a porpoise in heat? Duh! Baes, pack up those string thongs bikinis and micro mini little black dresses and off to join Luxurious Ann❤️Eiffel and the other ❤️Eiffelettes Stalking the Wild Shoog Daddies in exotic places like Monte Carlo, Monaco, Dubai, Rodeo Drive, Ibiza, Cincinnati. Skip Rehoboth Beach… it’s… ummm… not that there’s anything wrong with that. That is positiveactly W A❤️E WD, Brah. But…alas… not for the lowly unworthy worms. You know who you are. So do we. With that, Ann❤️Eiffel ❤️ers… Your BFF, The Count, will take his leave. Sorry, no autographs. Of course and indeed, We ALL ❤️ Ann❤️Eiffel and dream of the day when she returns to this comic in person. TTFN and never forget, there’s no basement in the Alamo. Count…OUT

No party? Oh well, nothing like a social get together between three old friends from high school. Boy, I really miss Delta.

Somehow, I think Bernice will be using those binoculars to spy on Kip, too.

Aha. So kip wasn’t invited. Right so after his quick dip he’ll have a job to go to or football practice or something else to do / somewhere else to be.

Those are used for looking at ‘little things’ close up Bernice.

Star-gazing, Tif. Say “Star-gazing.”

Stef will show up on some pretext, wearing minimal …

If Kip starts making goo-goo eyes at Luann, this will be hilarious!

Reminds me of the Carrol Burnett skit… did I tell that one?

And suddenly Tiff’s eye brows disappear with her wide eyed look.

Well isn’t Tiff smart. She only invited the two so she could swim with Kip. Stef can’t say anything now that there are 4 swimming now. That’s why the makeup.

Obviously, the “pool party” is just a cover for Tiffany to openly ogle Kip. Why amongst all the women Tiffany knows, only Luann, and, Bernice were available to come to this “pool party,” we don’t know. The excuse Tiffany gave, “doesn’t compute.” And, Bernice, you can be so obtuse. You heard Luann mention how Tiffany was the one “admiring the view,” and, you can’t put two and two together? Some counsellor you’ll make!

why put makeup on for a pool party?

Yawn.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the Kipster started hitting on Luann or Bernice instead of Tiffany?

Stef’s appearance in 3… 2… 1…

Uh oh. Busted.

Haven’t heard from the Luann Fan Mail about the awesome road trip lately. Wonder what anyone else is up to besides the perv and the two constantly bickering at each other.

Bird watching. That’s her story and she’s sticking to it!

Everyone called it

Uh….birdwatching. Yeah. That’s the ticket. ;-)

What’s wrong with three or four folks enjoying the pool? Or – just get on the phone and make some calls. I can see Brad, Toni, and Shannon there – Ox, Knute, TJ for sure, and even maybe Les if he behaves himself.

Tiff is using them to cover for her own selfish intentions. When was the last time she EVER intentionally invite them to do anything with her….

Just Kip and the girls! Gonna be weird.

HAHAHAHAHA! forgive me for gloating a little. Only Kip and three horny, whether they know it or not young adult females. Oh and Steph is out there somewhere. What could go wrong? I don’t know what will happen, so I’m loath to predict, other than, as I always say, “HILARITY ENSUES.” I don’t know what is so hard to understand about that.

Whoever it is…it’s a guy!

All the speculation….Here it is. She wanted to hang out with Kip in her cute swimsuit so she invented a pool party so it didn’t look so suspect.

bet Kip puts moves on Luann

I sure hope this isn’t just a ploy on Tiffany’s part – make yourself as attractive as possible, invite a couple of fairly plain looking friends over to swim, prance around the pool being voluptuous and cute, what could go wrong? The perfect result would be – A. Steffanie has come home, or B. Friends start showing up who “heard” there was a party.

Bernice needs to give Tiffany one of her books.

Luann’s top is larger than the one she’s in today in Luann Again.

Putting on make up to go out to the pool indicates she will not be swimming.

Busted!

Pannel #3: Tiff’s one eye says all.

Busted!

Bird watching. Yeah that’s it bird watching. We won’t tell Tiff.

Love Tiff’s wide-eyed “Oh $h!t” face in the last panel…

The mascara will run,with Tiffany right behind it

I’m looking for eagle nests—-that’s it,eagle nests!!

Now gimme those !—makes grab,the binocs snap in two

Bernice gets on my nerves! You don’t go into other people’s house and touch their stuff without permission!

Looks like Tiff fixed Luann’s hair. Looks like a killer party. Not!

Tiffany is plotting and I hope it backfires on her. Kip is going to spend equal time with all the girls and not be that impressed by her overly made up look.

Busted

I would’ve thought a know it all like Bernice would know what binoculars are for. :P

Number of people at Tiff’s pool party: four. Number fooled by her motives: one.

Luann, Bernice, you’re just there for interference.

I’m just surprised she invited other women.

Unless it was to make herself look better.

2nd floor window open or a very loud splash ?

Loud splash by Ox ?

Love Tiffany’s eye in last panel

Funniest thing! No one else showed up? Or no one else was invited? Tiffany seems to have some sort of plot playing out here, but what is her end-game?

The splash in the pool would seem to be Kip, and Tiff is applying serious warpaint before going after him. What, then, are slightly clueless Luann and very pointedly nosy Bernie doing there? Were they invited just to provide plausible cover for Tiff?

And in tonights performance the part of Shannon will be played by Bernice
