Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 30, 2024

Finally.. our shapely villainess Stef is back! She always has the perfect thing to say. ;)

So, should they pull a Psycho and kill Stef in the shower? hehe

Finally, after a week of blah, blah, blah-ba we get a joke. And it’s about poor Stefini who looks as undressed as Tiffany always did during her high school years.

The bad penny returns…

She has 2 birds and 1 bush

The self-centered villain is back, She has always been missing a few screws.

All this talk about rebranding was building up to rearranging Stef’s face as a punchline for this week’s theme? Sorry. That wasn’t funny. At all. Or did Karen run out of ideas how to end the week’s strip and this is what she could think of? I was expecting something like them teaming up for a business endeavor so Bets would have income again and Tiff could quit The Fuse.

Hey at least she not in her cheerleading uniform.

If her mixed metaphor (a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush & kill two birds with one stone) is an example of her smart thinking, I’m surprised she hasn’t flunked out of school.

at least she isn’t wearing her cheerleading uniform

Two birds. One bush. I wonder if Stefani understands double-entendres as well as Evans clearly does.

“Two Birds One Bush” Now there’s a hit – just needs the music…

I’ll settle for watching Bets hold down Stef while Tiff counts to three…

It always amazes Me that this Stef creature still has her front teeth. ;-)

Tif: “Doesn’t she usually getting low grades?”

Bets: “Always”.

Stef’s goal is to marry Kip. Bets and Tiffany want to learn something so they can build lucrative careers. But they’re too nice to tell her that (as they should be).

That face..

Now that’s a ‘Student Body’ worth the study time.

This would be the perfect opportunity for Kip and Tiff to “connect”—while the bee-yotch is in the shower!

And maybe Gunther will drop by, and they can have a foursome! Oh, rapture!!

Stef needs more than a rebrand. She needs to be kicked out.

And I used to think that TJ was annoying.

Stefani Bird is a dance major student? Maybe trade her for another business major?

I don’t understand, is Stef supposed to be attractive? That’s the implication but, I don’t think the drawing conveys it well.

A little surprised to see her still in their lives.

Don’t like Stef. Will peek now and then & come back to chat when she’s gone. You guys enjoy. :)

It’s like the opening scene of an “adult film”..

Now I feel weird as I listen to lectures while I exercise. But I’ve never worn a cheerleading costume or known anyone named KIP!

Eat your ❤️s out, lowly unworthies. Hawt❤️Stef returns dressed like THAT, talking about… dare The❤️Count say it?… her… bush (Child, please) and taking a … shower…. Yeee, doggies. Doesn’t get any better than this, lowly unworthies. Right smart, pert near. No indeedy, boy howdy. No, it does not. If today’s mot does not have Gorgeous Ann❤️Eiffel’s sweet fingerprints written all over it then… The❤️Count’s name ain’t The❤️Count, boy howdy. No wonder we ALL ❤️ Ann❤️Eiffel…AND Our Be❤️ed, Good Looking, Modest, Patriot Extraordinaire … Yrs Trly, The❤️Count. With that… off for another day of spreading good will, ❤️, wisdom and mirth… tough work but someone’s gotta do it… like Yrs Trly… The Wonderful❤️Count. TTFN, lowly unworthiest… Count OUT! No wonder we ALL ❤️ Ann❤️Eiffel and The❤️Count!

Please explain to me again why Tiffany and Bets aren’t rooming at the mansion so they don’t have to put up with Stef. It’s sitting empty.

Ugh, not the harpy again…

Not just a hat rack, or is it?

Stefanie has a good point. Students can overstudy to the point of confusion and overload. Method works for Stef.

Got your curling, branding hair iron?

“Smarter not harder” says the stupidest person in this strip.

Why does Stef have to be such a bimbo?

Here we go

Stef makes a good point about working smarter and multitasking, but obviously it’s not working well for her.

One “bush”? Really?

So just what does Steph study while working out? The guys?

I think Stef will take years to graduate. Or that she will be able to find some tricks… can a cheerleader graduate for sports merit? It’s funny to see how the disgust for Stef is the same for Tiffany and Bets. The contrast with their seriousness and Stef’s shallowness is hilarious. I wonder what Stef’s major is, I don’t remember it ever being specified. I hope Dez arrives next week, bringing comfort and positivity to her two tired friends, plus some good ideas for their rebrand.

If Stef has some kind of multiple personality disorder she would be two ‘birds’ in British slang. As for the bush part…

Just borrow that branding iron from the cattle company

Ironic she would mention bush.

You know, I’m beginning to think that if a pregnancy story arc is in the offing for this strip, then it will involve Stef instead of Toni.

ouch

My comment yesterday was “where is Kip” not where is Steph ….

This is hilarious! Steffi is a better student than Tiffany and Bets.

Hhhh She said, If Kip comes in send him in…! In the shower?

Heck, I rebranded Stef a long time ago. Snerk!

Tiff and Bets are bonding well. Some of their dialogue reminds me of Luann and Bernice…sort of.

ka-teamwork

Don’t rebrand her, send her into exile.

And what are your grades, Stef?

So, will Stefani be flunking out this semester or next? I hope it’s this semester.

When I was in college, one of the professors would read research journal articles while using the stair stepping machine. I think she had better motor control then I cuz when I tried it I got dizzy…

Leave it to Stef to show up and make them feel even worse about their lives.

They likely will still be sophomores, 19/20 five years from now. As sophomores they should still be taking core / intro / lower division classes

Or she could just be written out of the comic. Along with boring Kip. They won’t be missed by most readers.

“The joke is the trollop one is terrible” Yeah, I mean, you guys did write her to be that way, Evanses. I feel like every single person reading this has the same reaction to these dorm drama stories. It’s kind of like the vapid cheerleader stereotype exists to force in innuendo and you-know-what shaming. It’s a cycle at this point.

Luann has always been a strip that tackle heavy topics sometimes. As much as Steph and Kip get it on, could there be a pregnancy on the horizon?

Where’s Dez? Isn’t she usually the voice of reason!?

The NOT-so-smart Stef can’t even get her quotations right. She’s weirdly conflating “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” and “kill two birds with one stone.”

She is the most annoying and unpleasant character in this strip. Others come close, but she wins.

Rebrand Stef the Tiff and Bets way? The idea has merit…

Whose bush?

Tiff and Bets need to learn how to say “bless your heart” to Steph every time she opens her mouth…bless her heart, she’s so stupid.

Janet Leigh approves

What would be really funny would be Stef getting better grades than Bets and Tiffany.

My father had a branding iron: RAG

(R A Green, his legal name, no dots involved)

I don’t think he ever branded anything with it although we children branded a few boards.

Rebrand her from ‘bimbo’ to the other ‘b’ word.

Well, I mean, how hard does one have to work when one majors in cheerleading, after all?

Now that everybody’s got tattoos, the next big thing will be branding.

Even Tiff didn’t used to go out all the time in just underwear. This girl is gross.

Something tells me Stef would be a Trumpster.

Tomorrow going to be the shower scene between Kip and Stef?

YAAAHHHHH!!! Take it away,take it away!!

What is that thing??

i’m sure they mean to really put an iron brand, hot, on her
