Hey, a callback to Luann’s sexy witch costume! Great. I’m not excited by Woody and Jessy costumes, though. Both were pretty dull and kind of generic western themed. Why no Flash Gordon and Dale Arden?
Well Luann got to see Gunter after he took most everthing off in the library that time after bein doused by th sprinkler system. She saw it all. Then Gerg pulled his all time biggest innuendo when Gunter put on his ‘Billy th Bookworm’ outfit right after that.
Down Gunth. Remember, you’ve been “sleeping” in close proximity with a young woman for past eight months or so. So don’t revert and go all goofy.
And speaking of the Sexy Witch, as I recall, Lu was quite willing for Gunny to get all “hands on” to measure her for the outfit. Ahhhh, the GOOD Old Days. Methinks Lu will want Gunny to (A-HEM) “measure” her once again.
Whatever outfit Lu chooses, I recommend Gunther measure Luann quickly at the Gulag before Les gets off work.
Or WORSE, Irma shows up with milk and cookies. ;-)
Gunther seems really happy at the idea of making a new cosplay for himself and his friend Luann. I’m more and more convinced that he would be a great costume designer for movie and theatre. Luann really understands and encourage him, they truly have a beautiful friendship.
It would be nice to see a permanent, wholesome, romantic relationship between Gunther and Luann. But that won’t happen since the woke authors don’t want people to have nice things.
Oooooo… An Obvious Ann❤️Eiffel™ Inspired and Designed “Saucy” ;) Witch and Sexy❤️Luann really rocks it, boy howdy! Maybe this year she can go as Elvira❤️Mistress❤️❤️of the Dark? Who is really a red head!!! Or Connie❤️the Hormone Monster from “Big Mouth”? How about… Hawt❤️Stef and Ox going as ❤️Eiffelette Taylor❤️Swift and Travis the Troglodyte Kelce? Whattayathink, Vern? And is Taylor❤️Swift really Ann❤️Eiffeling the Trog’s bank account, boy howdy! The Count ❤️ it when an Ann❤️Eiffel plot comes together. Gotta run, lowly unworthies. Dentist appointment this morning. The Count is getting his fangs sharpened for Halloween, The Count’s favoritest Holiday of the Year! TTFN… and the thing you think is hiding under your bed… it’s really there. >:) TTFN, lowly unworthies… Have an Ann❤️Eiffel Day! Count…OUT
It"s a generic term. If you google “saucy” or “naughty” costumes it will take you to sites that sell “sexy nurse”, “sexy firefighter” “sexy bunny” costumes.We have some HollyHobby parts of the country where those are the terms polite people use.
So Gunther makes some costumes (ComiCon style) for him and LuAnn, and Bets finds out, will that bring her back or continuing into new space, exploring new worlds, heading “Out There”.
Despite that these two are long time friends it is a little bothersome that Luann keeps reaching out to touch Gunther (sort of a combination of being both suggestive and motherly). Gunther has said he doesn’t want to date and I feel those declared boundaries are not being respected. When Luann announced that they should get together again with pointed finger (as if she was directing a 3 yr old), that too was a bit irksome. Gunther is in some kind of vulnerable state and Luann seems to be taking advantage. It doesn’t sound as if he and Bets have officially broken up yet Luann is pushing him in that direction ( it seems).
It must be repeated: Gunther will have to do a deep dive into his feelings. It would seem that Luann already knows what he will find. This is what friendship blossoming into more looks like; such things cannot be forced. Gun has not been waiting in the friend zone for Luann, but has instead proven himself to be a sensible and caring boyfriend to Rosa and Bets. Luann has had front-row seating to this. Perhaps we shouldn’t anticipate another kiss, but an intense embrace, followed by the kiss.
If Elon Musk can say that we are sleepwalking into WW3, then these two are sleepwalking towards a union. It fits. These two SHOULD be sweethearts. I’m gonna root for ’em.
Before I get more invested in this story arc, can you at least drop a hint if this is actually going to LEAD TO SOMETHING between these two… or should I just take a vacay and come back for the Christmas story line?
Gunther should realize that Luann is right and quit trying so hard to remain loyal to a girl that is not going to be his wife or life partner. Should he really want to be with a person who can (and probably will, again) just take off on their own without any consideration of his feelings? I know there’s the argument of allowing each person to pursue their dreams (I just want to be me thinking), but once you commit to another person, both parties need to learn to compromise. After school, Gunther will have job responsibilities and Bets will still be a free spirit. I don’t see it working in the long term.
I usually don’t add a second comment, I let the one, spur of the moment be my comment. Don’t get me wrong, all of us long-time followers of the strip, can probably cop to a rank or two, but today, looking at the panels a second time, I have to note how Gunther is drawn to be so sexually repressed. That always confused me in a sense, him hooking up with such a vital and sexy young woman as Bets. But again, this strip is full of opposites attracting, whether, friends, such as Tara and Lu, or Crystal and Knute (oh we miss this couple) putative boyfriend and girlfriend.
Okay, try this. Gunther and Luann become a couple at last, they finish school, get married, have a couple of kids, thus begins a new comic strip “LUANN,THE NEXT GENERATION!”. Random thought.
This conversation, and his costume… he has really regressed, has he not at all matured through his 2 romantic, adult relationships? Dress, body language, fear factor… He is really making Luann look like an adult.
Seeing how Woody and Jessie were more like brother and sister, that would be perfect. Especially since Gunth never had the guts to make a move on a sexy witch Luann. LOL
