Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 23, 2012
Transcript:
Brad: "Whoa! Mom, dad! You guys look great" Toni: "We're on our way to visit kids at the hospital. Where are you two going?" Dad: "To the senior center" Brad: "Have fun!" Toni: "Merry Christmas!" Dad: "Does it make you feel old to see your little boy as Santa?" Mom: "No. But seeing how good his helper can look sure does"

Very clever gag today.Good to see some plain old honest jealousy (OK, envy) from Nancy. You’d reckon she’d turn green.Hang on …

Hah. Well, hey. At least they’re seeing their son happy. (more or less). And…considering how Toni’s dressed now, I think I know what he’ll be unwrapping tonight… ;)
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
He already HAS gotten lucky. We’re waiting to see if Toni’s gonna jump the ‘okay fine, you can put a ring on me’ broomstick

I guess Nancy STILL dislikes Toni…. I’m guessing meeting Shannon will warm her up : “Can I call you Gamma?” XD
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Nancy should like Toni. How else will she get any grandchildren? Luann’s safe from that one while Quill remains in Australia.

Nancy was one hot chick when she was young, and still a looker today.^^Am I the only one who notices that Luann (Other than the strawberry blonde hair), looks identical to her mother, including that famous nose? And yet, I always hear how good Nancy looks and how unattractive Luann supposedly is! =_=’

Just a little explanation for newer Luann fans who haven’t retro-read the strip:
Luann reads stories for children as a Library volunteer, and Gunther designs costumes inspired by said stories…Apparently, he got this one from “Santa does Dallas”9_9 <<Rolls eyes
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Clearly, Gunther made that as a present for Quill, as thanks for getting Rosa to kiss him.
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
If THAT’s what Santas “elves” look like, no WONDER, he’s so Jolly! :p

Mikey – second day in a row this poor robot’s approaching thermal runaway… :)^^I’m taking that to mean that you like the picture ;)

“9_9 <<Rolls eyes”
…
The android and I were having dinner earlier. She rolled her eyes at me. I picked them up and rolled them back…^^Very good of you! ;)
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
I was going to have garters holding up Luann’s stockings, but, thought maybe that would be TOO risqué (On the other hand, I might take request for the art, on commission :p )
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Now if it was Mrs. Horner from this comic, perhaps not. Your selection was quite sound.^^LOL… well, Lev prefers Bernice, several prefer Toni, or even that B***h Tiffany, but, like Gunther, Luann is my preference

How about being proud to have raised a son who spends his free time at Christmas volunteering? Better yet that the woman he loves is just as kind hearted.
Angelalex242 almost 12 years ago
Heh. In that case, you should draw what Brad’s going to be ‘unwrapping’ later. Toni’s a woman of her word, after all!
Sisyphos almost 12 years ago
Both “Santa and Helper” couples look good, but Nancy is justified in her assessment. Toni is smokin’ hot in those striped tights, high-heeled boots, and micro-skirt!
TheKaytebb almost 12 years ago
(standing ovation!) and that’s for both of you!

…
Yep! My 16 year old son volunteered in our local food closet distributing bags of food at Thanksgiving and this last weekend, volunteered at the ‘Coats for Kids." At my 8 year old daughter’s soccer team party earlier this week, he got a nice plaque for being an assistant coach.^^You must be very proud of them

As an old broad myself I actually laughed out loud when I read todays strip…hahahahaha. Yea, back in the day, Ohhhh the memories. SIGH.

Hey, Frank?
You into weight-lifting, Dude? I mean, THAT Belt!
Oh, and if Ya’ll are going to the Senior Center, be SURE to SEDATE Mrs. Horner for Us.
That old lady is a REPOSITORY of BAD Ideas….,
mrsullenbeauty almost 12 years ago
Yeah, you’re right! There are at least 4 different shades. Nice work.
vwdualnomand almost 12 years ago
one can always wear the helper outfit. it might have more curves in areas. but, it is to cheer up people.

What a wonderful example of children following in our footsteps.

alananda, on yesterday’s ‘mush’VERY GOOD CATCH!….I thought I was being too subtle on that and wondered if ANYone would catch that reference. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who grew up watching those "Little Rascals "episodes in the 50’s and 60’s

Toni looks Gorgeous like Zooey did in ELF……LOVE ZOOEY! Want Her on Xmas Day -
StoicLion1973 almost 12 years ago
Did Nancy and Toni ever come to an understanding or is Nancy still being a @!^() to her?
scrappy07 almost 12 years ago
This is great. Of course Tiffany would want the outfit. ;-)

I agree, isn’t it amazing how human perception can be changed by how one thinks?^^Yeah, there isn’t much in Tiff’s head, but, she knows “sleazy” ;)
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Geez Lev, that wasn’t very nice
doverdan almost 12 years ago
Yes, Nancy is more at ease with Toni.,But she still has a double standard on Brad’s and Luann’s romance partners..She was fuming mad at Aaron when he did not kiss Luann on a date. She cheers Luann on with the boys..Toni is a rival. Nancy wants Brad to still be her little boy..Dad on the other hand has made sure that Brad was armed with condoms on a date.

I don’t think Mom will get divorced – but if so – she could bag a guy pronto…

Nancy is VERY fine! I surely wouldn’t boot her out of the sack for eating crackers.

If you really have any talent (beyond the simple mechanical one of holding and manipulating a pencil) why not develop your own characters instead of riffing off of Parker & Stone, & Evans? Once or twice was cute…. days later, it ain’t.^^I do have my own characters and stories, this, I’m just doing for fun; as I said to the last critic, if you don’t like themn, don’t look
imbaldeagle almost 12 years ago
If Nancy showed up at the Senior Center dressed like Toni, the EMS would need to be on standby. Beware heart attacks by male clients.
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Thx Lev I can imagine all those Bernices are well-loved
Trev12 almost 12 years ago
Luann looks like she could be an understudy for Kei or Yuri of th Dirty Pair…
Mikeyj almost 12 years ago
Well, seems like you’re outvoted anyway, so, tough cookies ;)
