Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 05, 2013

Brad didn’t even have to ask Toni to talk “dirty” to him.

Oh my! Turning a little risqué!

Let’s face it. Toni’s the brains of this outfit!

For a family comic strip, certain people post some really crude comments! ;-(

Still brought to you, by…Perp Boys…. with service this fast, we’re hot!!!Ms. Goodwrench….. Our name means “delicious cookies”!and by…Green Meats, Inc…

Get a room! Or at least some Go-Jo…

See? It might have taken Brad twice as long… and it can still be inferred that she’s ready for some changes….

D J Belly has it right- Toni is the brains of this outfit…and looks good doing it.

I’m wondering exactly what it means to unkink a fuel line. Having a kinked fuel line sounds painful.

So, I guess our question was answered, too… she WAS rebuilding the engine… and the “Timing” belt got tightened, and the Torque wrench helped seal the deal… In the Cartoon world, our 3D knowledge couldn’t top cartoon physics, and in the town of Pitts, Toni Louise Daytona’s skills reigned over all in the cartoon world… for now, anyway….

At least, Brad was willing to help TJ…fixing motors is not quite his forte, though. Seems that He and Toni will now have a tie that pulls them closer…motor work.

It doesn’t matter, TJ will soon be moving out!!

Head out on the highway….(but without the Peter Fonda helmet)….

Better also add Billy Joel to it… (If that’s moving up, then I-IIIII’m moving out….)

looks like soon all the van needs is a paint job and ready to go

She may love to work on engines, but she probably also loves clearing space for her nest!

Don’t forget Sammy Hagar. I can’t drive 55…

Oh, my! Oh, my! Lucky TJ! Lucky Brad! Risqué Toni!Umm, I don’t suppose…? No…. Forget about it!

If that wasn’t a Sex u up later comment, I don’t know what is.

@Wiselad “looks like soon all the van needs is a paint job and ready to go”Do you suppose Toni knows how to give a good painting to a van too? (I don’t recall her ever painting.)

Getting it started is one thing. Keeping it started is another.

Why can’t she be just talking about a fuel line? She knows cars. ??

If Brad’s “fuel hose” has a kink in it, he should see a doctor immediately.

c – I’m sorry Brad, I’ve grown…

Further proof that two heads are better than one. When Brad and Toni work together, they make a great team.

Now, I wonder if TJ will remember his deal with Brad to go halvesies, or if he is going to practice Hollywood accounting?

Note the “GMC” on the truck.

Time for the van to move; hope they can get it in gear.

After Toni unkinks his fuel line she can lube his rod & ball bearings & Brad can check under the hood and use a little penetrating on his dip stick. Inspect her front & rear bumpers. Check the intake & exhaust system. Look Greg started this suggestive talk anyway.

How are the wedding plans coming along? Have they set a date?

Okay,“Troggs”.. it’s one thing to acknowledge the attraction and desire between B&T, it’s another to be immature and approach the subject in the way that a juvenile who acts like they’re brand new to the world and acts like he’s never been anywhere would..-Brad and Toni’s banter is about their attraction and desire, but is NOT a literal word for word thing… Mr. Evan’s own BLOG has made it clear that though he won’t be shy about the subject, his sensibility will not let him just throw it in there, gratuitously…. it’s those of us who act like they’ve been a long time without such, that seem to be running away with things, instead of being ADULT about the subject. Say…. MA-TUR-I-TY… maturity……

And just to make clear, Brad and Toni’s banter IS about their attraction and desire, but it wasn’t meant for someone to run away with it, to take it and degrade it iall the way into “toilet humor”… nor to be a euphemism…==And may I add further, that some of us here HAVE seemed to comment on it in a way that IS tasteful and civil….. it seems it CAN be done….

That engine’s purring like a kitten…that is, if you happen to be talking about Cybil, from the Lio strip

“No, thanks… I actually like a kinky hose…”

wow. this has gone from G to R over the last year. Everyone knows what a guy’s fuel line is.

What are they doing with their hands in the engine compartment while cranking the engine! Fan, belts, can take fingers off and high energy electronic ignition can stop the heart.

“I’ll unkink your fuel line anytime”The un-sexiest “sexy” line ever—and for Luann, that’s really saying something

Look, man! THIS is from HIS blog:“Shouldn’t these people at least be talking about this huge urge?

Of course. But not in front of the comic strip audience, for Pete’s sake! People who read comics are one or all of the following: underage, highly moral, easily corrupted, very devout, offended, outraged, embarrassed. They may devour Jersey Shore, Extreme Makeover, the Jackass movies, Glamour magazine, National Enquirer and Dear Abby, but when their eyes wander to the comics, they demand purity."==Also this: “As a writer, I desire the freedom to go where I want in LUANN, including frank, realistic discussions of all the issues teens face in growing up. Sex? Yes!

As a father, grandfather and curmudgeonly old guy, I’m fed up with being bombarded by idiots, “celebrities” and anyone with a computer, saying whatever they please whenever they please. I yearn for civility and restraint in our entertainment. Sex in comic strips? No!

I trust I’ve made my position perfectly clear."===Now, please stop with all the nonsense….

Tony says you wash mine I’ll wash yours!

And as the old rust laden engine COUGHED to life, TJ eyed Toni Lustily and thought to Himself: (WOTTA Babe!! Good Lookin’ and can FIX Trucks, too! She’d make a GREAT Asset to My Business AND ME! All I GOTTA do is GET Rid of Brad! And Why NOT? He’s a CHUMP that has Out-Lived His USEFULNESS to Me Anyway. I’ll just wait ‘til Toni leaves, get Old Brad to Help Me ’Change the Oil’, and Make SURE the Jack ‘Slips’ while He is under the truck! Everybody will think it was just a ‘Tragic Accident’. And I BE there to CONSOLE a Tearful Toni! Yessssss, I’ll DO it!!!!)

Moments Later: “See ’Ya LATER Toni and THANKS Again, DOLL!!! Oh, Brad? BEFORE You go, can you HELP Me with one little itty bitty detail?” -TJ

What the hell are you talking about. Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Freeken Blah!

If Toni fixed the engine, why isn’t her face dirty?!!!

… if ya know what I mean…

I don’t get the illogical drawing of inferences about Toni vs. Brad by some of you. They both worked on the engine, and it got fixed. Why do you assume it got fixed because Toni is “better” at it than Brad?

“I’ll unkink your …..” What?!! .. Shame on you, Toni!!

MJ we need to move to this place. Do you think Evans can arrange for us to have role in the strip?

^^Not at our ages

I do hope he is listening to what she is saying.

Whoa… would Mrs. Degroot smile or frown.

I love the SFX “thugada thugada thugada”

with a name like ‘Daytona’ she has to be ‘race-ready’ …

Hey you two! This is a family comic strip! Get a room!

Well, he is, by maybe an inch or two.

Does anyone think that Tony and Brad haven’t been getting it on for a while?

Another win for Mr Evans . . . . . Awesome Dude!

I’m not sure I’d trust an engine that said "Thug-a-da. Only a desperate man would consider that a purr.

“But you know for someone who doesn’t like the “nonsense” you write posts about Luann more than any of us on a strip with three thumbs, "^Don’t try to twist and shift on me! YOU are the one who tries to claim to be after NightGaunt’s “title”….. YOU are the reason that today’s comments are longer than a Southern Central or CFX train… I may be good at talking and posting, but it has to do with the thread that’s already going on, or the one from what the strip is about, but I am a wordsmith and artist in my particular specialty, and I don’t do anything that hasn’t already been done on here, except do it with my own “schtick” , as everyone on here has one, and I CERTAINLY don’t try to take a piece of gum and turn it into a 24 hour tirade about nothing, or a diarrhea run as Dave53 has described your posts today…==Read what I’ve posted above, since you’ve obviously ignored it…Greg’s blog invalidated EVERYTHING you’ve been saying….

… no use arguing with some …^Yeah, you’re right!. I just let the dam break on that one… gotta keep reminding myself not to feed trolls…

“until then, unfortunately they don’t have age restrictions on modems.”^I guess that’s the theme for today…

“Who is Karen??”^Karen is Greg Evans’ daughter, ’the Real Luann", who is now in her thirties… and she has participated more in the dialogue between characters, while her father writes and draws the strip….

Does anybody think that the truck just had a “false start”? Or is this the "movin’ on, and will they start with the actual business plan segment of things?

DANG GIRL!Greg took a leap with that comment.Luann just became PG13

Look at the comic strips from January 6 – 7, 2010. TJ’s van needed a woman’s touch. And Brad sure gets turned on by Toni’s love of motors!

Even if these LGBT elements were actually in the comic strip, which no one but you has ever seen, there is no reason that would make it not family friendly. Did For Better or For Worse become not a family strip when Lawrence came out?

and the fuel flows freely

Brad’s kinky? Who knew?

I still ask, is the truck having a false start, to stop again, on the next day? Or will the business plan start taking shape, tomorrow?

Things will work out miraculously well because the storyteller is ready for TJ to be something other than Brad’s roommate. The truck is not the real story, it’s the segue.

“there is no reason to believe the stoves, ovens, cabinets, refrigerators, etc are not in the same shape.”^And that would be another obstacle.. but if I remember correctly, TJ said the kitchen was in good shape… of course, I know you’ll say that it’s TJ we’re talking about, to sell the idea a little better…

If the truck is now ready to go, I wonder if TJ has lined up the food suppliers, yet… or if "Team TJ (Brad and Toni) will have to make some calls… looks like they’d better get double portions of that “surf and turf” along with the half stake…

And if “Camp Drama” is this exclusive place, they should be having the food situation handled by staff… but I wonder if they’d let in any outside vendors?

Maybe the Thug-a-da sounds more like cha-ching!

Congrats! Some thought it (me), but you’re the 1st to say it! Mostly cos of another hot topic taking precedence…

Well, no… I’m in the minority on that, anyway… ==It was “Troll Day” today…..

I have been known, on occasion, to raise such a possibility.

Is there such a word as "ani-exaggerate? Something like making a molehill out of a mountain kind of thing. I salute you, best laugh today. :)

I don’t want to be a complainer but I wish this strip would go back to the planning for Brad and Toni’s wedding who else agrees with me?!!!!!!

I’d like to see T.J. utterly fail. Mr. Evans had him shining at sales at Weenie world, but didn’t manage to convince everyone that the ‘brilliant’ schemes he was pulling off so easily were believable. Many complained that T.J.s approach would have driven customers away.

T.J. isn’t likeable, and he is terribly overdrawn on good karma. In real life, amoral folks like T.J. often thrive and win, but I find that frustrating to see. Even darlng Tiffany doesn’t often win. Her movie was a bust, Quill chose Luann, and she didn’t win her own pageant, and that’s all right:) Just wish T.J. would get what’s coming to him too….

BIG double entendre.
