Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 06, 2024

They couldn’t. THE END.

J/K :)

I’m thinking they’ll come to some sort of arrangement

.

On a side note, I see Bad Boys Ride Or Die comes out on Friday.

After what Will Smith did at the Oscars.. just who is going to see this??

This seems to be the lightbulb moment that both Luann and Bernice were in need of.

Nice job. Shannon! Toni would be impressed!

Shannon, the real psychologist

Luann’s not loud, and Bernice can be terribly yappy. They’re friends because they’ve been friends for a long time…they know each other’s history and shared some of it. It’s the kind of friendship we grow away from as we mature and move on in life.

parable for the adults…

Out of the mouth of babes cometh wisdom (or wise cracks).

And just like THAT, little Shannon created a parable about the puzzling “friendship” between Luann and Bernice.

Yeah, kid.

Many of US have been wondering how the heck those two can be “friends” too. ;-)

Notice how Bernice and Luann are eyeing each other. And their pets reflect their personalities. Shannon is VERY perceptive for a 6-year old!

A little fourth wall delivered by Shannon. Luann seems to get it – not sure if Bern does.

The end. Luann face is priceless.

Yes, how are they friends? Luann, I hope the moral of this story teaches you that it’s time for Bernice to move out.

Shannon , Cartoonist?

A six year old philosophy preacher, artist, writer, and pain in the butt. Totally absurd. Time to head over and join Tiffany and Stef in a nice, hot shower.

“Opposite attract” only applies in chemistry; every where else the results are dubious.

MESSAGE!

“Out of the mouths of babes…”

Shannon would make a good counselor. She gave Bernice and Luann a perspective on how they can be better friends by accepting who they are without belittling each other. Shannon heard plenty when they talk. Grown ups tend to forget that hence the old saying the child shall be seen but not heard. Well, by forgetting they’re there, they say too much, much of them shouldn’t be heard by the child.

Shannon picked up about a ream of paper. Only 496 pages left to go

Things just sorta happen sometimes.

G&K are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for arc ideas these days.

Shannon might be onto something there, in a “bigger picture” sorta way. :-)

We’re not exactly sure of who is fish and who is dog…

I’d rather watch the three stooges any day. Just the puns are worth a chuckle. (Ain’t I the sophisicated one?)

Well played G&K. A drop the mic moment from an unlikely comic character.

Simple — they got a room. Like Luann and Bernice need to.

So there is a point to this arc.

Looking at Luann’s face, she is probably wondering the same thing…

Fish isn’t snarky and annoyingly arrogant like Bernice. Yay, end. Next arc, please.

Excellent third panel.

Psst! I think the kid’s trying to tell you something…

Dog loved fish, especially when he was covered in batter and deep fried to a golden brown and served with malt vinegar

Shannon is writing what she knows.

Metaphor for breakfast?

Depends. Does Fish rain on Dog’s parade as much as Bernice does on Luann’s?

Is it Saturday yet?

I love the smile Luann and Bernice exchange. They understand that Shannon’s story is also about the two of them and they’re enjoying it. Maybe Shannon found a nice ending, maybe Luann and Bernice will explain to her how two completely opposite people can be friends. On the one hand, I’m happy that they’re talking about it. On the other, I fear this mean that the two will remain friends even if Bernice continues to be the empathyless disaster that she is.

The theme of this story are true, however the events and characters have been changed to protect the guilty.

Ah, this is really about Bernice and Luann!

Loving her story so far!

Now Shannon is being made out to be a psychologist. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a child mature so quickly! When she’s done with her preaching, let me know.

Opposites attract. Sometimes

They can’t. The End.

Maybe they shouldn’t be and one of them gets the boot from the strip.

Sometimes, opposites attract.

oooooh, allegory!

They couldn’t, because fish is judgmental and constantly makes snide comments about dog’s personality, choices, etc. (Clearly Bernice is the fish in this story).

Shannon is not writing about Bernice and Luann. She is not that complex or deep. She is simply writing about a dog and a fish.

The “aha” moment!

Hmmmmmmm!

Hey, Aristotle: you said once that ‘a friend is another self’. Do you still believe that?

“But they both suck, and no one else likes them, so they’re stuck together!”

Since we’re making things up here… perhaps the answer to her question is quizigmatical.

Opposites attract, variety, the spice of life ;-)

Yes. How indeed……

A not so subtle comment aimed at Bernice.

The problem with Luann’s and Bernice’s “friendship” is not different characters – that could help both of them a lot! It’s how Bernice feels superior to and constantly puts Luann down, when she already has trouble taking her own self seriously (since nobody else does).

Shannon comparing Aunt Luann, and, Aunt Bernice?

Awww, super cute end to her comic!

“Fish learned she could be friends by constantly belittling what Dog does. The end.”

Shannon sees more than she’s given credit for

We are very forgiving for public figures here. A certain DHT for some, BC to others. Going back to Luannverse I love this arc! Shannon shows real imagination here and is drawn to write and draw a funny story that just describes them and relationship to a T. And it’s funny too!

Great arc!

HMM.

Bernice finally got the idea
