Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 09, 2025

It’s a nice thought but… A baby cries because it is leaving the comfort of the womb it’s been in for months, not some Disneyland spiritual world.

So what will happen next week?

JPuzzlewhiz for the win. Today’s strip is none of the usual tripe amd is actually very thoughtful.

Honestly, when I read the first panel, I thought Luann was asking about S-e-x! Haha

Small World was my mother’s favorite ride. She could just sit back and relax.

And instead of St. Peter, would Walt Disney be waiting at the Pearly Gates??

Mrs. Horner’s logic is irrefutable.

It’s a noteworthy possibility unsupported by any objective information, but still!

Disappointing.

Amazing logic, Mrs. Horner!!!! The Disneyland analogy was good .

No more naysayers!

The bible says in the end times people would ask for death and then they wouldn’t find it.

I’ve told the story before, but for high school graduation, we went to Disneyland. Small World was new back then, and so I took a ride. The ride broke down for some reason, and we sat there for what seemed like an eternity listening to that dam music. So Mrs. Horner’s bit of heaven would be my he11. Give me the Jungle Boat, please!

Completely off topic, but get ready for a new website in April. Hopefully, we’ll be able to edit comments and finally add emojis with no issues

Has Mrs. Horner seen the afterlife?

I think Disney would make a fortune if they added laser rifles and sensors on the dolls. I would pay extra for that.

The late great comedian Sam Kinison a routine about trying to borrow money from his parents and them refusing and adding a lecture. Sam countered with what he (and perhaps the rest of Us) were Pre-Birth, in the Enlightened, Eternal Cosmos, BEFORE being “dragged down here,” according Sam.

It was quite a bizarre, convoluted but memorable way to reach a punchline. At least it was to Me.

Years later, at the peak of his career, when Sam was involved in an auto accident and lay dying in his brother’s arms, Sam spoke to some “unknown entity” allegedly on the “other side” asking “Why Me, Why now??” No one knows what this “entity” said. But Sam’s response was “Oh. Oh, okay, okay…..,”

I guess Lu make the best of life while she’s here on Earth, just like Mrs Horner has done. Because no one really knows what awaits on the “other side.”;-)

Thank you – lovely description of the Summerlands! (You’d call it "Heaven) Not ot mention, brilliant attitude!

Jeez, that’s sloppy logic.

Thanks be for the Mrs. Horners of the world.

If she’s going to A Small World, she must be in the other place.

I recently heard or read that our life is a dash, the time between birth and death as seen on our tombstones.

I like It’s a Small World…

Makes sense to me.

Hey look at that: a Sunday strip that breaks the pattern! G&K must be apologizing for last week’s letdown.

We MIGHT cry if we leave someplace scary… It’s called PTSD.

people are so vain

You might want to find something a little more affordable and interesting than Di$ney £and. Verdant forests, mountains, glaciers, plains. Catch up on things you couldn’t have possibly imagined! The possibilities are endless…or you could waste your time on a ride that could break down.

I’m for the Haunted Mansion

Luann and Mrs. Horner are talking but “there’s a failure to communicate.”

Nice delusion.

How cute baby Luann with few hair on her head and already recognizable. It seems that Luann goes to visit Mrs. Horner quite often, it’s nice to see her talk to her mentor abut things that trouble her. Mrs. Horner always tries to give Luann hope for the future, she really loves her

Of course, if you’ve ever posted a comment about the evils of Woke Disney, you get banished to a lake of fire. See ya!

‘…but trailing clouds of glory’ If it worked for Wordsworth, it can work for Mrs Horner.

Best outlook is that the Judeo-Christian concept of Heaven is correct, and we go there and that it is an indescribable concept. Worst outlook is that the Judeo-Christian concept of Hell of eternal punishment is correct, and we go there. Socrates gave the additional option of death being an eternal sleep. However, most all cultures, even very primitive early cultures, have or had, the belief of an afterlife of some sort. I sort of go after the Heaven being an indescribable concept, which it would need to be, if we are going to be there for all eternity. The good thing is that all of us will find out in due time. And who knows, maybe Uncle Walt Disney is one of God’s entertainment executives in Heaven and has built the greatest Disneyland ever conceived and that IS a part of Heaven……

“It’s a Small World” Dang. Now I’m going to have the song stuck in my head all day!

A nice thought. That cleanses the palate after yesterday’s terrible antil-climax. Here’s hoping for a good new storyline tomorrow.

The “Small World” ride would be more like Hell for me.

I find consolation in thinking that this world, like the womb for the baby, is preparing us for the next one.

Be sure to grow those spiritual limbs, kids.

“Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears” —Psalm 84.

Now that song is going through your head and it won’t stop.

Mrs. Horner needs to go to Bible Study class.

Mrs Horner always has the best outlook.

Irrefutable logic.

Good strip today. I don’t agree with Mrs. Horner’s vision of the Afterlife but it suits her so I suspect that will be her heaven. I’d prefer a version where I am constantly learning and challenging myself toward an evolving spiritual goodness. I hope to become a Guide to others who need me.

Eternal life with Jesus!

NOOOOOOOooooooo! NOT THAT!

That’s…one way of looking at it. I wouldn’t say Disneyland is the best example of an amusement park, mainly because Disney sucks, but i think to think the other side is going to the silent meadows and sunny streams.

I love this thought and Mrs. Horner!

The saving grace is that she won’t be disappointed. No one is. (If there really is an afterlife, that preacher guy from Galilee was wa-a-a-ay too late.)

How appropriate. The earworm for eternity.

Never Its a Small World. Maybe Matterhorn

I did die briefly once. For a short time. Didn’t even know it so I’m not afraid to die. (No, I didn’t see a light. Well, if I did, I don’t remember it.

Jesus said I am the way the truth in the life and no man comes to the father or heaven, but by me, plain and simple.

I recall (but correct me if I’m wrong) that Socrates was recorded as saying, just before he drank the hemlock, that this world is a known evil, and that one should prefer an unknown to a known evil.

I thought Sunday was Luann’s messy room day.

To me this is a continuation of the most interesting thing that has happened in this strip for at least the last 12 months. Luann has experienced real maturity and growth. Nothing wrong with asking the big questions, it’s the nature of the Universe we live in, probably always will be. Always be the searcher Luann, it’s all we’ve got and probably why we’re here. ;-) Happy week Folks ! ;-)

We already know what death will be like, because we already know what not being born is like.
