Sorry, I gotta agree with the Count here. You really think “because you’re not positively positive” is some profound revelation, rather than a meaningless platitude? She’s basically the old lady version of Timon and Pumba from The Lion King. Remember, “hakuna matata” wasn’t actually good advice.
Considering her mom is the one who failed to make her a functional adult, I’d say Luann should look elsewhere for a role model. In fact I’d say Nancy is 0 for 2 in raising kids, since Brad was content to lie on the sofa eating chips until 9/11 inspired him. I dread what world-shattering event it will take to motivate his sister.
G&K are out of ideas but are trying to pass the time, so they figured a filler arc was the way to go. Luann has a long discussion but ends the arc right back where she started. That happens a lot in this strip.
As annoying as the last arc was, I have to disagree. At least there was conflict and a slight status quo change. This one is just Luann bemoaning how boring she is (something we all already knew) and will likely result in no change whatsoever. Last arc had Kip and Stef break up, while this looks to just be filler.
I guess we should be grateful to Luann today for making it clear that this arc will just be her going round and round in conversation, with her ending the arc right back where she started.
As if the Navy would even want her. Luann gives up on things upon reaching the first hurdle; she can’t be relied upon as a shipmate, and certainly can’t be trusted with a weapon.
