Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 29, 2024

Dik dik dik??

A rebrand of Tiff is just dumb, plus it will never work on a person only on a Company such as Apple or IBM.

A whole lotta stores nowadays are rebranding an becoming empty buildings. An old Macy’s store I passed a few weeks ago had rebranded from ’Macy’s’ to ‘Available’

They could do an analysis of how Marlboro was rebranded from a lady’s cigarette to a man’s cigartette.

Too pooped to poke.

Whatever you do.. don’t do a Bud Light rebranding. ;)

Apple morphed from a micro computer company into a phone company.

“In the first quarter of its 2024 fiscal year, Apple generated around 69.7 billion U.S. dollars in revenue from the sales of iPhones.”

This seems a little late for the mid-week proverbial misdirection. In fact it seems like they are just going to talk this idea to death without doing anything. What the point of a cartoon strip where nothing happens?

Here’s a plan. T&B drop in on the manse. Tiff that a long soak in the Jacuzzi, Bets orders some pizza and after Tiff has pruned up enough they dine and outline their rebranding paper. Or maybe talk about boys. Enough with the moaning and grouaning. That’s our department.

It’s time for Ann EIffel to shake things up.

Depressing arc this week. Much ado about nothing….just two girls moaning and groaning about nothing. Bets has a head start on her assignment and Tiff, instead of whining, get started on yours. Nobody likes a whiner.

Steve Job’s ghost must be in seventh heaven, LOL.

Bets has a good mind for the material which is probably why she was able to make $2k per mo. She had a sense for what people on sm want to follow and how to brand herself accordingly. Tiff had some good ideas too but was never able to see them through.

They lack coolness? Or would find they find the secret sauce?

Well, now.

Bets has a Apple Laptop.

I noticed that most famous artists, musicians and writers use Apple computers.

At least more often not, they are photographed using Apple products.

Greg, for example, , has been photographed on several occasions using Apple products.

So You GO, girls, with the “rebranding” thing.

But be advised that Apple is currently being sued by the Justice Department, and may end up having to “rebrand” itself again.

And don’t forget, as Billy Joel once sang, some of your friends LIKE you, “Just the Way You Are.” ;-)

The original Apple II used a 6502 which I couldn’t stand. I was a Z80 snob.

Or, how about Amazon? They started out selling books… Then rebranded themselves into selling practically everything.

Facebook going to Meta. Twitter going to X. These are considered rebrands.

That isn’t apple

It’s a good example, but seems unusual for GnK to specify a brand name, or rebrand name. Commentors have certainly mentioned known names. The longer these two discuss “this?”, the more they should re-turn to their interests and in what they do best.

Apple hasn’t been innovative since Steve Jobs passed away. Everything since then has simply been tweaking the products they have. I’m also not sure they’re still seen as hip, just more expensive.

‘Hip’ got devoured by ‘Woke’. Such are our times. I’ve lived too long.

My favorite was Kraft changing Mac & Cheese formula and it was on the shelf for months before they told anyone. And when they did, it was a ‘See and no one noticed, and no one complained’ moment.

The Tiger Paw was a rebranding for my Alma Mater. Go Tigers! Beat Bama!

I could do a rebranding for my designer label, but I haven’t put out anything yet.

Open a strip club. Recruit girls from the dorm. Heck – there are girls prostituting their way through college. You could become female Hugh Hefner’s. =)

“Press any key.”

It’s right next to the ‘any key’

and that hip desirable lifestyle is the result of the smart phone (?) allowing people to be on social media 24/7, taking, posting pictures, living for cyber fans… your whole life on the phone………..

Bets might be the first real female best friend Tiffany has. I know she once had Crystal, but I don’t think Tiffany was really capable of having friends at the time and the fact that Crystal disappeared from her life just when Tiffany was having a crisis and lost her perfect shape always seemed suspicious. As if Crystal, who despite an open mind cared very much about appearances, had decided it was better not to be see with her again. It’s nice to see Tiffany and Bets like this, simply sitting and talking about the future and the present.

Does going bankrupt count as rebranding? Nope

Here’s a tip, Tiffany. Quit your job, quit college, move back into the mansion, get money to live on from your dad, buy new clothes and travel. I guarantee you will get popular again real quick.

Here’s a tip Bets. Quit college, start your website back up, move into the mansion with Tiffany, get rid of Gunther, buy new clothes and travel. I guarantee you will be feeling better real quick.

You both have enough “education” to be successful if you choose to start a business, but why you would want to do that is beyond me.

Apple is a cult.

I don’t get it

Hasn’t Tiff already been there, done that? Hot cheerleader rebranded to depressed college student to good friend and hard worker making her own cash? Maybe try rebranding Luann as an adult.

A whole lot of talk about a status quo change that will never actually happen. IIRC, Luann and Bernice had these discussions as well (notably after the NYC trip) with no lasting result.

Check the app store.

Just don’t pull a Bud Lite!

Maybe quit obsessing over rebranding and just do your assignment.

Bets must be playing June’s Journey or some other hidden object game!

Maybe they’ll rebrand the strip as Bets-n-Berger?

A hip, desirable lifestyle staring at a screen all day, Wall*E style

she’s on a apple computer complaining about her boring lifestyle

Apple schmapple.

Burnout CAN be a problem for college students……

I guess they must have paid Apple for the use of their trademark.

Onlyfans time?

G&K must have decided to get their corporate kickbacks all at one time.

Apple’s rebranding is imagery, Betts. The way you and, Tiffany feel right now is reality.

Didn’t understand a bit of that.

Nothing wrong with Dylan Mulvaney making a few bucks by looking like the Bud Light lady. That’s why God invented drag queens.

to me Apple rebranded from “computer nerds” to “arrogant hipsters”

Apple didn’t so much rebrand as catch up to it’s primary demographic. Leaving those nerds who desired unhipness to turn to Linux for the safe haven of an obscure OS.

this as boring as watching paint dry.

Ah geez….hope they don’t start an onlyfans account.

no they didn’t
