Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 21, 2024

Next time try buying the hair gel at the super market, Frank.

Truth is, most items aren’t over packed these days. A lot of times, you wish there was more packing material, when you buy something fragile.

.

So new arc tomorrow.. or do we just watch a Vanagon shaking back and forth in the parking lot, all week long?? ;) LOL

Ah yes, just like the case of potato chip bags that are only 1/3-1/2 full. On the flip side, there’s also those bottles of water that squirt when you open them because they’re filled to the rim.

Frank is speaking the truth.

Not the nicest wisecrack from Luann, whose New Year’s resolutions included “Be kind.” The grownup DeGroot kids were much nicer to their parents during the Christmas cabin fiasco.

Best Luann in a long time. It actually made me laugh.

I wonder if Ronco still sells that spray on hair that ws available in sevral colors. It was called ‘Hair In A Can’ by Ron Popeil an can be seen here:

Go get ’em Frank! Or you might try orderin a wig on Temu

Amazon is a secret consortium of cardboard manufacturers that sells mostly cheap Chinese junk….

She’s out of line, but she’s right.

Buuuurnn!

Good thing Frank didn’t order TWO bottles. They would have needed a dolly to bring it in.

The box can be recycled—those d@mned styrofoam “peanuts” cannot!!

Has anyone noticed the current hairstyle for boys and young men? Shave Frank’s head except for that bit on top, and you have it.

Maybe Gunther and Les could use it for their cat?

A good way to increase the reflectivity.

I used to work in order fulfillment. There were times where we just plain ran out of the right size box, and the next size up was way too big. Stuff happens.

Yes, Luann.

The box.

If Frank was anything like Calvin,he’d find some uses for that box…

LOL! It’s true they use big boxes for small items all the time.

“ Officer , we were just trying to find out where the squeak was”.

Cardboard recycles better than most things, there is money in it. Get rid of the plastic and other crap packing though.

Frank still has plenty of hair on the sides and back. The tuft on top needs to be shaved off.

I’m sorry for Frank, but Luann has a point here. It’s nice to see that Luann still uses the technique of writing her notes by hand to memorize and understand better what she’s studying. I remember a strip where she was the only one in the classroom writing by hand while everyone else were using a laptop or recording the lesson. Or at least, studying is what I think she’s doing right now. Maybe she’s drawing.

Saw a pic online where an order of bubble wrap was wrapped in BUBBLE WRAP!!

ba dum tss

Hoo!

Sounds like Frank is a member of Amazon Prime.

They occasionally ship small items in big boxes.

Perhaps to better protect the product. Or more likely to expedite shipping as the shippers didn’t want to waste time finding the appropriate sized small box.

The other day I ordered a tiny electronic device and it came in a box 4 times it’s size.

But that’s cool. I can use that box for eBay sales.

Maybe Lu is snarking her dad because noise cancelling earbuds weren’t included in the box.

For HER……, ;-)

Watch it there, Luann. You’re talkin’ about your dad, you know, the college fund provider?:

I bought a hammer once, and it came with a bunch of packing foam in the box…

I guess I’m with Luann. No hair, no need for gel for it.

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Frank, in reply, : "Didn’t you just buy a jar of “beauty cream” ? " …….

:-/

Did you order from Amazon Prime?

It must be a rare and precious gel, with gold encrusted particles of diamond dust

Personally I thought the strip was funny. Luann was looking at her largely bald father holding the hair jell then finally caught on the he was whining about the size of the shipping box instead of the futility of his getting hair jell. The delivery was absolutely deadpan.

“Very funny. Har-dee-har-har, little miss snarky. Oh, by the way, I’m now going to be charging both you and Bernice $500 rent every month! ….How’s that for funny, eh? Har-dee-har-har!”

Luann could’ve been said something about how the bottle of hair gel was overprotected, without the implied snarkiness. And, don’t mention the van rocking to Rand’l Thor. He wants to believe that Betts and, Gunn are just going out cosplaying. Most of the rest of us seem to believe that “something” more will be happening in the van.

That was kind of you, Luann.

“Not the box, Luann. YOU!”

My. Aren’t we the sarcastic one, Luann. “…And I thought she was such a nice girl, too!”

She got you there, Frank.

It sounds like Luann is tired of living at home rent-free

Excellent point…..

Cold, Luanne. Cold.

Good question……

Good one guys that punch line.

It’s probably Dippity Do.

burn!

I get it.

Nice one Luann.

I used rogain for a couple years in my 20’s. Never grew any more hair but I stopped loosing as much. Just turned 60 and I still have about the same amount. And yes, I was able to Father children. 3 beautiful daughters and now 3 beautiful Grandsons!

It should have also come with some hair that he could gel.

Don’t they have recycling in your area, Frank?

That was funny, I actually laughed. I felt good.

Which is why I stopped ordering from Amazon a good two years ago—everything was packed in enormously huge boxes, and if I wasn’t home, the Amazon delivery driver would drop my packages off at a gas station a mile away. Neither was acceptable.

Maybe the gel has minoxidil in it?

This very dry for this strip.

Love it…great chuckle

Oh, snap! Good one, Luann! And right there with ya on the packaging, Frank! Amazon loves to put one tiny, non-breakable item in a huge box with oodles of non-recyclable air pockets. Breakable items are tossed in plastic shipping bags, of course, with no padding.

We have a recycle company in town called RIDWELL, which takes those stupid air pockets, along with other hard-to-recycle items. It’s on a subscription basis and they come to your house to pick up twice a month. So glad they finally added our area!

No, the hair gel is still useful. Now he has something to smear on Luann’s doorknobs.

I HATE those plastic “peanuts”.What are we supposed to do, eat them?

That’s cold, Luann. Don’t harsh on Dad (a.k.a. your bank-guy)….
