This dorm drama story is boring because it’s just a re-run of the last dorm drama, which was a re-run of the previous dorm drama, etc. It’s like they have no other ideas so they keep coming back to this one plot.
I think you’re forgetting how boring Luann is. A week of Les trying to fix the toilet was boring, but would it have been as boring if Luann had been doing it? I think it would have been less boring, but more importantly it would have the title character doing something. Would Luann and Jack training to do a 5K run be boring? That is to say more boring than this dorm fight? I’d rather be bored by Luann than by Tiffany, but I’d really rather have interesting story involving Luann.
So today’s strip is essentially a repeat of yesterday’s strip. Hohum. Dare I hope that next week we return to Mrs. Horner’s Creative Writing Class to find out if she will continue teaching and if Piro has return to the classroom. It would be nice to have a story line actually come to a conclusion.
The goal is to give Luann something to do, something where she will interact with other people. She and Jack have a good platonic relationship. Jack is big into fitness, so training for a marathon, or realistically a 5K (3 mile) run is something he would do. And could convince Luann to try. But there would talking her into it, the first few times at running together, stuff happening. The sexy stuff I threw in for giggles. (Greg gas really toned down the strip since the 80s-90s).
