Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 21, 2013
Transcript:
Luann: "Why are we always 'Becoming'? Becoming educated, becoming an adult, becoming independent. When do we stop becoming and finally BE?" Delta: "We never stop becoming, Luann" Bernice: "Yeah. When you do, you're dead. Then you start UNbecoming" Luann: "But my whole life has been about getting somewhere. When will I BE there?" Delta: "Life's a journey. We're always becoming something else" Bernice: "And where's there? Once you're there, there's another there" Luann: "I don't want more theres! I want a day where I put my foot down and say, THIS is it! This is my life" Delta: "Why not make that EVERY day?" Bernice: "Hold on. Luann put her foot down" Bernice: "Is that your life?" Luann: "Pretty much"

Fooled a lot of us this week, didn’t they? I thought sure the Sunday strip would be Luann gets the news. Didn’t think she’d get it on the shoes, though.

This week it is!
Come to think of it, nobody asked about Luann during BT’s announcement celebration. Is she sitting Shannon?

Oh, OH!
Looks like its TIME for another one of those “Street Clean-Up Community Organizing Gig Things or Something that EVERYBODY but Delta Hates, and She REALLY Loves Shaming People into doing.”
(Whew)

Very reminiscent of the Luann cartoons of the 80s & 90s… other than Luann no longer looks like a balloon in a sweatshirt

Wow! We can subtitle this one, “Being Deep On A Sunday”… Like a piece of art!

….and now, for our station sign in….

I guess half of us were half right….. maybe half said she’d appear on Sunday to get the news ( she did appear, but is not getting news right now, so half right)… the other half said she’d get it later, even Monday… so in that sense, we ALL win! lol! maybe the other half will happen on Monday, so the maxim “half the people are half right half the time (or the other half of the time)” can be true…

Echoing what others have said: Luann got the call of doody…… ha ha!

The future is …NOW! No, wait a minute, now is the present. Whoops, now it’s the past. Hold on, here comes the future – Here it is – wait – Nope, it’s the present again. AAAH! Now it’s the past again. Drat! It was the future, but it skidded by as I was trying to grab it. …my head hurts.

Reminds me of Prime Mover by Rush:
“From the point of ignition To the final drive The point of the journey is not to arrive
Anything can happen…"Mikeyj over 11 years ago
Life’s a piece of sh..* When you look at it Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true. You’ll see it’s all a show Keep ’em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life…

Actually, “Unbecoming”, as Bernice puts it, is happening right now. Our bodies are constantly shedding skin cells, yet life goes on.

Some would say that it “We already are, life if finding out who we are. The unhappy person is someone trying to live who their not.” Or something like that… Also, “We are human being, not human doings.”

cute. love the dog looking sheepish over there.

Excellent strip today. Food for thought. They are all right. Now is what we have and tomorrow will be another “now” if we are lucky enough to get there—not that we should not plan for it.
Bandera_Ken over 11 years ago
See! I told you the Sunday strip usually has nothing to do with the daily story. Usually doesn’t mean always, but it does mean usually.

Luann, life is helping others when they need it and letting others help you when you need it. That’s all.

Luann and friends will never “become” (as in, become seniors, become grads, become adults, etc.) because they are stuck in a time loop. No one but the Doctor can save them now! How’s that for a crossover? ;-)
Buggerlugs over 11 years ago
Luann, you’re supposed to pick up after your dog, not step in it.

Luann’s life WILL be poop as long as she keeps waiting for things to come to her rather than go after them.

Hopefully, Luann will find out about Toni and Brad tomorrow!
benniegrezlik over 11 years ago
I smell a Brad and Toni spin-off.
CP Justy over 11 years ago
I’ll take this the opportunity during the brief lull in the story to share what I think might happen in the near future. This summer could be epic, but I think either during or after it ends, if Luann and Quill are still an item, Aaron Hill will return. How’s that for drama?

Hey Greg I am a wedding planner. If you need some fun antidotes for the wedding planning let me know. :-)

I’d say that after her brush with cancer, Delta has taken away a good message.
andymeijers over 11 years ago
Wah, wah. kid. You are cute, smart, have a loving family, a safe practice romance underway, etc etc. If comic strip land ever lets you become an adult, you will look back and realize growing up is way over-rated.

Great sponsor!
JayBluE over 11 years ago
uhh….. just realized, we’ve got two competing sponsors….. of course, they could BOTH be owned by Global Mom and Pop Store Smashers Conglomerate, Inc.!

You are always being whatever you are, that is always changing.You are always where you are, and that is subject to change. Especially since the planet, sun, galaxy and universe are always moving. If you stood still, everything else would seem to be shooting away from you, pretending like there were some stationary reference point to be at rest with.Deep philosophy on a Sunday.
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Sorry, it took me an hour to find the Poop deck, I was tired.

be nice to the little fella Luann….its not his fault you stepped in it
Faux Real over 11 years ago
I guess those demanding drama would have to settle for suspe…

……this concludes our broadcast day. we look forward to another fine strip. So now, goodnight to this day!
Fuddy Duddy over 11 years ago
Don’t SAY that!

Mordy:Let’s hope the Dirk has the common decency to nip this weeding in the bud and bring some drama back to Luann.^^Donny, are you nuts?…… nm
