    It just occurred to Me.

    The New DeGroots “version” Shannon IS, for all intents and purposes, TODAY’S (SHUDDER) Bernice.

    Somebody rouse them from their daydreaming!

    QUICK!! ;-)

    Shannon looks like she’s 12 and Toni looks like she’s in her 30’s… It all feels a little off.

    This is one Bizarro daydream Toni is having.

    It’s a humorously exaggerated fantasy version about what the superior child raised by Toni and Brad would be like — with the money and parental motivation to direct her energy into activities and growing up with the expectation of civilized behavior (helping to clean up rather than being destructive). Real Shannon’s just sort of a tumbleweed who goes where her whims and anxieties take her.

    How would Shannon learn to crave structure with Toni and Brad as her parents if they don’t seem to provide her any now? Their daydreams don’t seem to have anything to do with reality.

    Oboe? Oh Toni. Shannon’s true artistic expression is as the bestselling author of the Monstro and Puddles story. Shannon is no Evelyn Rothwell (Lady Barbirolli).

    I’ll speculate again, could this be another (possibly even two) pieces in the final arc involving Jonah being in the strip?

    Toni (and Brad?) fantasizing about what raising Shannon would be like, and very soon having to decide whether to put up or shut up with the exit of Jonah by means of his demise or, for that matter, with all this travel he’s talking about, his character doing a full on heel turn and simply choosing not to come back and abandoning Shannon (weaseling out under the cover of ‘It’s for her own good because I’m not cut out to be a good dad’)?

    To go that extra yard, could this guest artist stint even be happening to give G&K a clear patch of time to really roll up their sleeves and go all in on what would be one of the biggest/most momentous arcs in awhile?

    Okay, that’s more than enough sticking my neck out for now. ;)

    Even fantasy characters get to have fantasies. Shannon is enthusiastic and could be developed into what is shown here. I remember a 6-year-old neighbor who liked to clean my place. I finally had to lock the door even though I appreciated her intentions. She would be pushing 50 by now.

    I wonder if the script is different than usual to adapt to Jay Fosgitt’s beautiful way of drawing or if they wrote it as usual and then the artist interpreted it following his inspiration. Toni’s imagination is too positive. A little girl like this may be the dream of many parents, but it makes me appreciate more the fact that Shannon is a hurricane and not a perfect little robot. Now I’d like to see what Brad imagines, maybe the family fixing the car together, dirty but happy.

    If this is the “Dark Mirror” alternate universe or Bizarro World of the actual Luannverse, then not only Shannon possesses a 180 degree opposite personality but probably Ann Eifel would be a kind and caring saint like Pru. Additionally, Gunther would be a lazy slacker like Knute while Knute would be valedictorian of the high school class and Luann would have been salutatorian. Luann would currently be going to med school on a full scholarship. OTOH Bern would be fun loving and risk taking like Tara and likely hanging out at the community college.

    IMO, very Disney-esque in style. Toni kinda reminds me of Cinderella… Brad sporting that “skunk” look (I get that it’s supposed to be shiny black hair) with his hair makes me wonder if there is some hidden meaning in this…Hope Greg comes back soon, well rested, relaxed and rejuvenated, and can save us from all of this…

    I’m sorry. But if Brad, and, Toni, actually think that this is how Shannon would’ve turned out, if they had raised her, then they aren’t ready for real parenthood. Because how they imagined Shannon is totally unrealistic.

    Nice artwork. I enjoy Greg’s style too, and of course Greg’s creates the overall feel of the Luann comic. This art deviates from the Luann feel which surprised me at first because I didn’t expect a guest artist to change the feel of the comic. It is nice to have a talented artist rather than the standard joke of a small child with limited art skills taking over.

    “What would Shannon be like if we had raised her” is a really stupid statement. If she is six, she is a long way from being “raised”. Brad and Toni have every right to expect discipline and good manners from a child who resides in their home as much as she does. They just don’t do it.

    Finding the fantasy segment amusing. Kind of reminds me of a style when a TV series will do an episode where all the characters become cartoons. Couldn’t quite put my finger on the style, but Disney has been mentioned in several comments. I suppose I could see that. Enjoying the artwork as much as I have enjoyed Greg’s all along. Better than anything I could produce, that’s for sure.

    Having fun with this segment and would like to see more of the Luannverse crew in this arc.

    Something between the “real” Shannon and this amped up version would be nice, but:1) It’s a fantasy sequence2) It’s just a comic strip

    It’s temporary. Greg and Karen made the acquaintance of an artist who is their fan. They liked his style and invited him to do this arc involving a fantasy Toni, Brad and Shannon storyline. I think he has a comic strip of his own as well. Just enjoy the fantasy and try not to be thrown too much by the different artwork. It’s always jarring to me to not see the characters I know and love looking like they are supposed to but these things happen from time to time. Fantasy Shannon creeps me out, too!

    All I can think of when I see this artist’s style is that episode of “Family Guy” where Stewie and Brian, bouncing between alternate universes, ended up in one where everything was exaggeratedly drawn as a Disney cartoon, and Peter ends up bursting out into a long song “It’s a Wonderful Day For Pie”…………….. And to those of you that now have that awful earworm living in your skull now, I apologize.

    Well, a lot of folks have contributed their feelings about the alternative artwork any story line, so I might as well offer mine. I find both to be cheap cardboard imitations compared to the feeling of the G&K version. I might be able to tolerate it for the two weeks it is presumed it will occupy, but no more than that. I don’t like it at all.
