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

“The Art of Confession” – “Caught Red Glitter Handed”or“Gillter Bugs”

First comment.

A good solution would be to let them make the flags for the dance. But, have an acknowledgement of thanks for the children who made them. Tell the principal that you are encouraging them to perform public service! ;-)

Ah, Yes – the old “bait & switch” maneuver. I know it well.

B2UB:the “Well, what had happened…” line, from Stallmark Cards…. “When you meant well enough to send the very best”… “Give them a funny story to tell it!” – Grilled Confessions… theTV interview special, hosted by Alfred Yankovic… this week, he presses R&B star Usher, to ask him: Why? Why?… Check your local listings.. Or just check “TV Lied”…. either way… – and by…Glitter cleaning/cold relief products… “You can do it all! From airing out dirty laundry, to clearing your chest”… “Come clean! With Glitter!”…

Five and one half(th) comment…

She also used the word: “Maybe”…

MAN, it’s hard to get first comment on this strip! ……or even the first page, for that matter…..How come I haven’t heard about Quill in many days?

LUANN: “Children, Tiffany has something to tell you. Tiffany, tell them the truth.” (Arms folded and cold stare.)

’Tis the season of the witch………..

Guest starring: “Lyle Nag-onner”…

Goodness, Tiffany sure has a hard time making friends with the Truth! Keep the pressure on her, Luann, until the little kids realize how they are being used.

PSA:The next time you’re enjoying your little ham sandwich, that you probably put a lot of mustard on, think about all of those people who don’t get to ride in jets, or have their nice limousine taken from them… or worse yet, have to suffer the embarrassment of driving last years’ Beemer…. does that feel good to you? No? Well, how about all of those folks who don’t have gold plated plumbing… or have discourteous wait staff, maids, butlers, etc…. all because some punk scum kid… or some very selfish little old lady decided to not buy that extra copy of “Gilligan’s Island”, but waited for a marathon to run on the “Antique” channel… (Yeah, Grandma… I’m talkin’ to you!) – It doesn’t feel good, to know that instead of buying that expensive copy of “Pat Boone sings just like Pat Boone singing Charo’s interpretation of Pee Wee Herman’s Greatest Hits”, you just had to wait to get it off of the radio…no, the truth hurts, doesn’t it? -So instead of just thinking about how you feel after a long hard day, because you’re too lazy to buy another copy, think about how good it will feel, to help another person save their millions… who knows? They just might notice and remember… maybe even say thank you…. and even if not, just do it for the children…..

Between 1:10 and 1:11 A.M. EDT The page refreshes itself.

Tiffany has a great career ahead of her…..as a politician. She is capable of total B.S. even when she tells the truth.

Anyone else notice Ebeneezer Scrooge is still in the ad section of this page?

I think he’s found his soulmate…

There were no comments when I started posting. He beat me by seconds. lol.

@Brdshtt

Lu should tell her to click her heels three times,sending herself to Kansas.

OR

Throw a bucket of water on her….

Somehow 46 kids abandoned by their parents to the likes of Tiffany to do anything she wants without oversight seems to much like reality to be amusing. Let’s try a new story!

Today’s playlist, from my collection:

Frankie Laine – The Moment of truth (1967)Bobbie & The Boys – To Tell The Truth (1959)The Big Bopper – It’s the Truth, Ruth (1958)Billy Ray Cyrus – Truth Is, I lied (1996)Brewer & Shipley – When The Truth Finally Comes (1972)1910 Fruitgum Company – Indian Giver (1969)

Maybe we shall learn all that we need to know about the status of the Luann – Quill relationship when Luann sees the drawing of the Australian flag, and she rips it to shreds.

should tape Tiffany mouth shut let Luann tell them the truth

Of course, the Jeff Beck Group (and their vocalist, Rod Stewart) became famous in the USA with the release of their album simply entitled “Truth”.

So why not hold a dance for the kids at the library using the decorations they made, preferably before the school dance [so they can make sure the decorations are working ;-) ]? The kids get a party with the music they like, and the school gets cheap but happy labor. (Maybe open the library an hour before, or put up signage warning patrons PIP – Party In Progress from 10 am to noon.)

And “You Keep Me Hanging On” by the Supremes, and Kim Wilde– Also “Live To Tell” by Madonna – “Confessions part II” by Usher – “Confessions part III” by Weird Al Yankovic (A hilarious parody, using Usher’s song as the fodder…)

Gunther has Rosa. Some guys and girls are better friends than romantic interests. But I would like to know what happened with Quill.

Tiff needs to get fired from this job, but she will come out smelling like a rose. Luann needs to invite the parents to the dance to see what their kids have done, then have Tiff tell why she used ‘child labor’ for the decorations.

Jay… you missed the “big one.” Remember Bob Barker’s first claim to fame show?

Announcer: “Hello there, we’ve been waiting for you. It’s time to play, TRUTH….{BLLLEEEEAAAAAAAHHH} OR CONSEQUENCES!

Sorry…. Bad “Beulah the Buzzer” imitation. ;-PPP

This is why we can’t have nice things. Nice things like a forum about a comic strip where we can go to not think about the ugly political situation for 5 minutes a day.

LETS GET OUT OF THE LIBRARY, ALREADY. BOOOOOORING!!!!!! TIFFANY AND THE RUG-RATS………..NOT FUNNY!

Got to give it to Tiff— she knows how to motivate little girls. Heck, I wouldn’t care about the dance either IF I got to use glitter— 2 colors!— in my art work!

Luann, better get your boss.

We’re missing the red-shirted little girl today— hope she didn’t have an accident with the scissors and get… [wait for it]… red shirted.*Wouldn’t it be wild if Lu & Tiff became teachers, those three little girls became a second set of heroines, and the strip became known as “Luann: The Next Generation”?

I sometimes wonder what Tiffany’s parents are like.

Ox will be Tiffany’s date, probably. After all, she has to be there, so that the other girls can make fun of her. Remember, this whole strip is basically Gunther’s – er, Greg’s “Revenge of the Nerds” fantasy.

Iam keeps getting on first? So what?

Did anyone note? One of the little girls looks like Delta (Her sister, maybe?) and the other looks like Marcy from “PEANUTS”^^She does look like Marcy

Girls Gone Wild would not be a career. That would just be something that she would use as an easy way to pad her resume…^^Good point, and why not? She’s been padding her bra (with Kleenex), for years

Pot, meet kettle… kettle meet pot.

During the 1970s, there was a syndicated game show, “Liar’s Club”. Larry Hovis (Sgt. Carter from “Hogan’s Heroes”) was one of the regulars on the panel of 4. The panel was given an object and asked to identify it. A pair of contestants were then asked to determine which of the four actually correctly identified the object..

Of course! Liar’s Club I recall Nancy Kulp (Miss Hathaway on Beverly Hillbillies) being a panelist at one point. It would appear there’s a bit of “nepotism” going on there, Allen! ;-)

Speaking of Hovis, One of Richard Dawson’s pre “Family Fued” gigs was a show called Masquerade Party, where celebrities would have to disguise themselves well enough to be not recognized by other celebrities, who would then ask “What’s my Line” type questions and listen to certain clues, to ascertain the subject’s identity. The Richard Dawson version being a remake of the 50’s original show.

Allen? If you mean Allen Ludden, what connection did he have to Nancy Kulp?

Oops, sorry for the confusion. I was referring to Ludden’s wife Betty White being one of the panelists. :-) White seemed to show up in a lot of Ludden’s shows.

To me, Ludden will, of course, be irrevocably tied to the show Password, and to “Bayer Asprin” commercials. This, and, also the “GE College Bowl.”

“She told the truth…” Didn’t even have to inhale to finish that one… ;)

About Tiffany leading the children on (to thinking that they will be able to go to the dance)…I am going to feel so sad for them when they find out they won’t be going to the dance after all… Maybe Lu’s kids are also making something and Lu has just gone around the corner to see how things are working out with Tiffany. Obviously they are Not. At least the girls (where are the boys?) are having some fun for the time being. I wonder if Tiffany will realize what a mess she has put into motion… BTW, I’m usually one of the Last posters, does that count? (We are just having fun here with who’s on first and why is someone else on second and how about fair to middlin’)…its getting too late here, my mind is imploding LOL … ;)

Worked as a librarian for awhile (public library) – we would hold kids’ parties in the basement reading room where we could sing and dance and act out our favorite parts of books. Then again, this was one of the Carnegie donation libraries – imposing Grecian edifice and columns, one-story building with 18-foot ceilings, built pre-airconditioning. Some of the best days of my youth.
