Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 11, 2013

and dont let the door hit u in the arse on the way out

The door!

Yay TJ, you are my new hero !!!

When will Ann ever get the picture? Hopefully now.

Hmmm…could TJ’s family OWN Weenie World? The plot thickens….

Like Greg would allow that. The only character he can write for is Tiffany, and that’s bound to get old fast. Why else would he bring back some forgettable office lady from Japan?

I still want to know Anne true feelings about T.J.

best brony ever

Ann sure looks beat in that last panel…I am hoping this arc is going to be done because it’s been going on forever…

Perhaps there is something outside that TJ wants he to see. What could it be? Any ideas?

“Ann Eiffel – this is your life!”“You’ve won……. A NEW CAR!!!!”“See the road? Hit it.”(etc)

Give me what you guys have…

…wants her to see. (not ‘he’, sorry)

I haven’t seen any customers or workers this week. Could all of this be taking place after business hours?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No More Bullies!!! Go for it TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LeviticusYesterday you said all of us fall at TJ’s feet to worship the “Jackal”. It is because those of us temper our suspension of disbelief by still believing that people that are good, would have a friend that has some good in them. Whether you like it or not, TJ is cast as one of the good guys. He is Brads friend, and despite all your vitriol, shows that he will do what he feels is right to defend the people he cares about. Those of us who haven’t given up hope in TJ, was paid off in this strip. Your definition of troll is a bit skewed. I moderate a board with over 100k members, and you’re actions fit the bill of one who is attempting to skirt around being one, but everyone else still sees it.

People like Ann don’t lie down and roll over without a fight. But I like TJ’s line of thinking. Sayoonara, Eiffel-san. Perhaps you can find another job in Japan…

Word.

Apparently, when TJ seeks vengeance, the vengeance he seeks is purer then some people gave him credit for.

Don’t let the door hit you where the dog should’ve bit you!

Everybody sure likes revenge better than I do. I was still hoping this arc would bring out something good – in both AE and TJ. That would have been more interesting.

Say buh-bye Ann.

Too bad it most likely won´t go that way, but the Disney ending :) (but one can only hope ofc).

AE should just say, “I’m not going, TJ.”. They look at each other for the second frame – and the third frame. Then – time for a new arc. (AE and TJ to return later).

WTG T.J.!! Applauds

Ah, so he wanted the FRONT DOOR all along! Brilliant!

Annie sure in love with herself.

Great expression on Annie’s face in panel 3 as TJ shows her the door. Will she take the hint? That’s questionable. She still has some fight in her. And her obvious assets with which to work. Sexy Eiffel.

A more realistic closing panel would be what Rhett Butler said to Scarlett O’Hara – “Frankly, My Dear, I don’t give a damn.”

I hope this gets resolved soon. This is Luann’s comic not TJ’s after all. Or have a spin-off strip called Brad & friends.

This IS the resolution, where we see bloody vengeance taken by TJ the Mighty Avenger.

“I want to see you dead and buried in a shallow grave.”

A.O.L….(applaud out loud!)

The ONLY customer I’d seen was the START of this ‘run’ - TJ was “working” him at the register (THINK he called him “Frank” ??) … isn’t it “odd” that a lowly order-taker KNOWS one customer’s name, but NEVER called any other customer, by THEIR names ?.And, for the record; TJ has NO living family. He was an orphan by age 15 or 16; Mother and Father died in a car wreck, leaving him a literal FORTUNE! (It’s believed he is worth in the MULTI-MILLIONS and lives off a LARGE trust-fund with a profolio of various Stocks and Bonds !).He’s said a number of times in the past, he doesn’t “need” to work, EVER !.I half expect to see where he is a PART – if not FULL – Owner of the Weenie-World chain !

Did you guys know there were 214 comments on yesterday’s strip? wow

And dont let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, ya coconut.

You’re replying to imbaldeagle’s comment:

A more realistic closing panel would be what Rhett Butler said to Scarlett O’Hara – “Frankly, My Dear, I don’t give a damn.”^^That’s very good ! (I was going for the “way out there” ironic twist)

She needs to be fired for cause not quit. If she leaves on her own, she’ll just act the same at her next job. If she’s fired, there may not be a next job. At least not one where she controls others.

Heh heh….I love it!

In other words, Ann, you’re forgetting that TJ’s still holding all the cards. Remember the old Kenny Rogers song?

I think TJ should buy the franchise…or maybe he already has?

?!!!!!!!!!?Wait, Wait,WAIT!!!!

What does “HE” WANT, Annie?!!?

And this is coming from a LOW LIFE that has made a CAREER out of CHEATING, ABUSING, MISTREATING, and LYING to EVERYBODY He comes in CONTACT with?!!?OUT – FRIGGIN’ – RAGEOUS!!!!

Levy, old friend? I’m with YOU on this One!!!!

Draughty said, 7 minutes agoI think TJ should buy the franchise…or maybe he already has?^^I doubt he could afford it, I would think his trust fund consists of JUST enough money to live on, and that’s about it (Otherwise, you’d see tJ spending money like water, fancy cars and such)

Well said. I have harbored the same attitudes as you. I don;t like Ann, but I also don;t like TJ. He is great at getting people into problems, but runs when it comes time to get them out. End this theme, it got old on the first strip.

Supper?

applause

Go TJ! And look at her face in the last panel… LOL!

TJ isn’t malicious he’s just idle and bored. More of a chaotic neutral than unlawful evil.

wherer are all the customers during this ordeal?

It was a correction to a typo in his/her previous comment.

TaaaDaaa!! So, there!

howtheduck…Wow, someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning.

Don’t let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya!

One thing I don’t understand is why people like Weasels and htduck, who obviously dislike this strip, keep reading it and making negative comments?

Not even that silly looking uniform can make T.J look less bad-@$$!

I thought WW was in the mall food court. A door?

TJ never cheated anyone, he is a great salesman, and if the customers didn’t want to upgrade they could say NO.

Is TJ really the “Undercover Boss” from TV?

Somehow I doubt this is going to end here. People like Ann don’t go quietly.

Did anyone notice that TJ doesn’t have his phone, either in his pocket or his hand?

Ann’s smile is gone.

I am still curious about Brad’s comment last week about TJ having a “love/hate thing” going with Ann.

What do I want? "I see your little, petrified skull labeled and resting on a shelf somewhere. "

See ya… wouldn’t want to be ya…

I like. And then there was a pile of ashe

I think this strip got to folks! Duck guy, that is how bullies work. They make it all seem like someone else’s fault. Others ask for it… Were you/are you a bully?

TJ may not be perfect (is anyone), but he has a heart.

Bye, Ann!

It won’t happen that way… However if AE refuses to leave (she should refuse) – I think TJ will lose the staredown contest. Then AE breaks the ice with “I’m sorry.” Then TJ surprises us with “I’m sorry too.” They embrace. Then – to another arc…

One more possible scenario: TJ is holding the door open. AE says, “OK – My ride is here anyway.” TJ sees Dirk holding the car door open for AE. AE is smiling and TJ is not smiling…

na na na na na na na na hey hey goodbyeeeeeee

“What do you want?” Any fan of “Babylon 5” knows what that means!

This is very gratifying. Most satisfactory, Greg. Thank you.

I do get a feeling that this isn’t over yet, though. Ann’s move now.

yep, you’re pretty much spot on with your summation of this scenerio.

come on stories need villains as well as heros

She looked so surprised to be rejected

What’s the name of that old song..

“Will You Stay ,Or, Will You Go?”

Does anyone know how to put all comics on one app?

come on TJ. A little nookie in the back room first, eh?

Good job TJ. Wonder what will happen.

Oh come onnnnnnnnnnn…. there was nothing objectionable in my Luann redux today!!!! But, they pulled it anyway!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRThe mod for Luann seems to be on a power trip!!!

do you know how I could put a link to it, rather than post it, only to have them take it down?

Goodness….you might be giving this comic far too much attention!

Can’t seem to make it work

ok, if you paste this to your seach engine, you can see it:

Thanks. I could probably use Brdshtt’s method to post it, as I quite often use it myself. However, I’ll wait to see if you want me to do it, or maybe Brdshtt will do it, himself.

Can’t seem to make it work”

Honestly, truly that is what I did the other day and it worked. If you copy the DIRECT LINK from your photobucket and paste it into your next message, I will try it, if that’s OK^^ Go ahead if you like but, I just found that if I paste the direct link here, then in my search engine, it skips the middle man and works perfectly :)

You’re replying to Brdshtt’s comment:

In regard to kenhense’s comment, Mikey : Use the force. Use the force. I have handed you the power. Use the force. :)^^I did… I C&P’ed the whole thing, erased the URL and put in a new direct link… and got the same result, no link

I should say I get the link, but, it isn’t blue and clickable

I like how confused Ann looks in the last panel. She thought they were playing a totally different game. I envision her thought process going something like “Oh. I thought you were doing this to twist my arm into going to bed with you. You’re telling me you actually did it for some random demented revenge thing over some minor slight you’ve been nursing for months? That’s… oddly appealing to me actually. What’s your number again?” LOL I’m reminded of that great XKCD strip where the hat guy met the totally insane woman on the bus who took his hat. Some people are kind of made for each other, even if they don’t realize it!

like I asked twice before when are we going to see Luann???….she the star of this comic strip not Ann it’s Luann not Ann

TJ wants you to leave and NEVER return, Ann.

.., I like TJ, don’t get me wrong. But he’s a rogue and he’s consistently attracted to trouble like a moth to a flame. I have an easy time imagining that Brad is correct about him having a little bit of a love-hate relationship going on with Ann. :-)

Abusing TJ’s friends and lying to him (thus depriving him of credit due him for doubling sales) are not minor, random, or demented reasons for him wanting to burn Annie. And it doesn’t matter that he took his time—actually, we have no idea how long all this took, given the weird time warp of general Luannesville—and anyway, revenge is a dish best eaten cold, so some say. I think his motivation got better as time went on. At first it was to f with Annie for f’ing with Brad, but then the witch stole his credit and then it was personal. I wouldn’t want TJ after me! He’s showing that he’ll come after you and he’ll burn you. You’d never have known his game if he hadn’t let you in on it.

Ann is not that smart

He had to sum up her character and the storyline in one last Perry Mason moment. It would be insane to try to portray her as a repenting protagonist.
