Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 15, 2014

OK, Rosa…What is Plan “C”!!! ;)

Comparing Gunther to Quill is like comparing apples to oranges… ;)

Plan C is…probably letting Gunther go. High School relationships were never meant to last anyway.

Everyone goes to Florida State? Is it me or does she look happy with plan C

And, that just might be Plan “C”…Rosa decides to go to MU…and Gunther too (made a rhyme!)…seriously though, that must be what she decided…what else could it be? And Now we Have to wait until Monday to find out!!! =-O

To be fair, since this is a comic, Rosa’s dad probably has enough influence to make Yale accept Gunther. “How the hell did I get in to Yale?” “Well, I told my dad to make ‘em accept you. You’re even gonna get to be skull and bones…” ;)

Bye bye Gunther.

“Multiple Choice”“Drastic Measures” “The Most Difficult One”“Wedding Bell Blues”“The First Cut Is The Deepest And Kindest”“The Tide Is High But I’m Not Holding On”or “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?”

Plan “C”: I think it involves either breaking up with, Or loseing her ..‘Innocence’ to and then MARRYING Gunther.I think considering the loss of Innocence would be pretty racey for this strip. Discuss.

“Brought to you” by…Cliff’s Hangers.. “And now, it comes with an exciting new feature!..” – The Columbus-O-Matic… “Comes with portable, adjustable seat belt strap, and ‘chair seat extender’… Never worry about falling off of the edge, again!… From Plotz’ Devices, Inc….” - and by…Kammel- Drama Daries, Inc… “Maximizing dairy freshness… just for you!”…

None of the above? That means “nothing” to me…..

plan C as in C U L8R

“All we really have in common is that we both have sweaty palms. I’ll miss that one kiss a year, though!”

i got a bad feeling about plan C.

like i-just-ate-some-bad-shrimp feeling

a-h? You’re being “testy”, today…. Ha ha!!

I like “d.” of Plan C… ;)

Or i., a new reality show about long distance love… -Or even j., a show where everyone calls in and they vote on whether or not the relationship will continue…. a game show/reality show that almost sounds like what happens to everyday people- they can even call it “All Up In Da Business”!..

Was just making a play on words, as “nothing” can be almost similar in meaning to “none of the above”. Sorry for the confusion.

I like “h” for its shear snarkyness, the C for cut the cord, she’s movin’ on!

I’ve already had my tea, so there won’t be the disaster that happened last night!…had Post-It notes all over the computer desk, and Everything got soaked when I spilled my tea last night! Sort of like the disaster that Rosa and Gunther will be dealing with…and Plan C will be the catalyst of their disaster… ;)

Understandable. You’re fighting battles on more than one front!….

Yeah, plan C is NO long distance relationship. Which is either break up, or Rosa and Gunther go to the same place..It seems as though Evans is implying the former, but that doesn’t solve Rosa’s don’t-wanna-go-to-Yale problem. Rosa may “keep” Gunther if he is willing to run away with her on whatever world adventure she chooses.

I was talking to my cousin, who lives in Phoenix, earlier in the evening…she said it’s been in the 80s…Yale is not in a good weather location…it gets Cold there, Rosa! Not like Pitts! ;)

God there are such negative comments on this arc in this strip, and why so hard on Gunther? Plan C might mean talking Gunther into coming to Yale with her, or to Mooney, as a second choice (assuming it is a good local or regional university), or it could be neither of those. But crushing his soul as someone said above? That is projection I think. If anything Rosa is trying to open up his soul to her and new possibilities.

Plan C – Bye bye Gunther.

Plan C: Tell Gunther that even though it took you ages to realize you can’t join the Peace Corps right outta high school, you’re not silly enough to saddle yourself with a boy like him.

I’ve a very large Irish Setter girl staring at me…its time to call it a day…’nite all… ;)

@DavidHuleGreenI responded to your comment about the man I married on yesterday’s strip, the 159th post to be exact :)

@GweedoThe 160th post is my response to you. :)

Just in case anyone is interested.

If everyone knew what the real C was, then the 3 Ps would not relate. I do agree that Greg is sneaky-scary good though. That is why this strip is so popular and we get on this blog at midnight all the time

OK, I’m going to go out on a limb here (and since I’m never right, you can be sure this is the one thing that won’t happen)

Greg’s setting it up for an O Henry “Gift of the Magi” situation: Rosa gives up the idea of Yale and gets accepted at Mooney so she can be with the Gunth. Gunther secures an on-campus job at Yale so he can go there and be with Rosa.

If her dad is DIPLOMATIC she an’t illegal!

Plan C: it appears that Rosa has reached the end of her patience with Gunther’s shy hesitation and general wishy-washiness and intends to dump him, Yale or no Yale. Oh, well. He will have no one to blame but himself. And as long as Luann has Quill, the Berger boy seems likely to remain unattached….

She was already close to breaking up because Gunther has no spine and no interest in breaking out of the mold. She’s being held back by him. Putting the two of them together always was a bit silly.

The thing is, if Gunther did get into a ‘super school’, he’d logically be focusing more on, say, MIT then Yale or Harvard.

I don’t know why everyone is assuming that Gunther didn’t apply at Yale. When they were discussing future plans he suggested that he could apply there.

’Bye Gunther.

Yeah, Yeah “Plan C” which Probably Means Staying in the USA and going to the SAME School as the G-Man, Breaking Your Parents Hearts, and at the SAME Time THWARTING Those of Us Who Think That Gunth Should be with Lu.

Wait, I’m Forgetting Something Here……,

Oh Yes, I almost forgot.

BAH!!!!!!

plan C: Columbia

Plan “C”? Yeah, “Columbia” is a good Ivy League alternative to Yale. :) However, Rosa wants to go to “Colombia”, or Peru, or Ecuador. Go, why doesn’t she go to college in South America instead? She would get the degree she needs for the Peace Corps, and she would already know the culture and the infrastructure.-As for Gunther, Rosa should consider him history. It’s time to move on with your life, Miss Aragones.

C’mon, Rosa. Go to Yale. If you don’t meet someone there, come back in four years and your mama’s boy will be eating cookies and ready to pick up where he left off.

How about another “C”? Church.

Plan C: Goodbye Gunther. hello New Guy.

Back in the 70’s, my dad’s friend’s son got accepted at Harvard, with a scholarship. The kid decided not to go because he didn’t want to be that far from his girlfriend (they lived in Michigan). He decided instead to attend a local college.

The summer after he graduated from high school, he and his girlfriend broke up.

..ok, I don’t get anybody who is like “Gunther will…” No, he won’t! Pleeease, Rosa, close the chapter, move on with your life, start doing things — it will be like loosing an itch you can’t reach or getting rid of an annoying smell you can’t evade… and as for poor G… I don’t think so either, he will just go on cultivating his precious insecurities and keep being a self centered super-bore.Honestly, G is textbook material on how to develop a “kick-me”-character.

Luann and Gunther are going to end up together after a lot of other things happen………probably after college.

at least 80° in Sacramento….Wow, small world. I’m just up the hill in Grass Valley. Might hit 70° here today.

Plan C: as in Cut and run. Let him grow a set on his own time.

Plan C- – - – - C you around Gunther.

Gunther would be very comfortable with a long distance relationship. No icky touching or gross kissing.

Uhhh… ohhh…

Plan “C’”, as in let’s “see” how long the suspense can be strung out………..

I disagree on where Gunther should go to college. My personal bet for him is MIT, if he’s going to go to a supercollege. It’s where a would be engineer belongs. Yale is more for badass lawyers.

There is no point in trying to arrange things so that Rosa and Gunther can be together. The fact is that this whole relationship is a really bad idea. This is a good chance for a clean break, and Rosa can meet someone who will make her much happier than Gunther does. Maybe Gunther too can find someone better suited, if there is a one-kiss-per-year-is-plenty-enough-for-me girl whom he can meet at Muni.

Two words – It won’t work..Wait, that’s three words, uh….

poor Gunther

“I thought he was just being cheeky ! "^It is possible. But if that’s so, E.P. never returns and explains. The problem is that with such a statement as that, it’d be very easy to get it confused with the other meaning, the “politically incorrect” one…. with statements like that, it would seem that one would want to be more aware of the possibility. And when he posts about her, it’s usually the only way he describes her, and never by name….. – He does post on other strips with “gags”, so again, I guess it’s possible…. but, again, he never returns and explains, or does anything to make sure people know (like an emoticon or “button” like you usually use, or quotation marks, or something similar)…

“Aren’t we doing that already on this comment board?”^The difference is that it would be a show that would “decide” their outcome, as a reality show/game show. “How” usually does this list “tongue in cheek”, so this was another “tongue in cheek option”….

That said, if Rosa does have strings pulled and gets Gunther into Yale somehow…here’s the thing.

Even if they break up 3 weeks into making it to Yale…Gunther will still be a Yale student, getting a degree from Yale. She changes his life for the better, drastically, simply by getting him in to such a prestigious college. Gunther with a Yale degree simply brings more to the economy then Gunther without one. Who he’s dating at the time is irrelevant.

I like Rosa. Both versions of her are in my family, and I like her personality. Overall, I like her just as she is. Plus, she actually “likes-likes” Gunther and isn’t afraid of his “image”, like Luann is, at times. Lu likes him and his attentions, but Rosa actually appreciates what he has to offer (the new years’ arc notwithstanding)….

Or, hey, maybe Rosa’ll pin Gunther down and take HIS innocence! Doesn’t always have to be the guy taking the girl’s, ya know.

Oh please don’t make Rosa give up a good education to do the cliche’ thing….

Gunther needs to go to MIT or Cal Tech…all he needs to do is figure out a way to prepare his Mom for his need to go to the next level in his life… ;)

Plan C: Trick Gunther into getting you pregnant and have your anchor child in the U.S.!

Plan C is she say no to Yale and do what she wants.
