Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 29, 2014

(Sniff!) Boy, those allergies of mine!….

Kinda what just crossed my mind…

“Friday Night Kiddie-Os (Disc 2)”“Trib-eautiful”“Toys And Tears”“The Picture Of Friendship”

or“Cereal And Mush”

Good ol’ Randy Newman to compose that song for such a film.

“Toy Story”? BAH!

Now, “The Incredibles”? THAT Was a Good Flick!

You Shudda Made the Sequel 6 years ago, Brad Bird….,

Perhaps Bernice & Delta are being ‘written out’ to a large extent. Luann’s college days will bring new friends, challenges, with or without Quill. Plus, Brad & Toni will be a big storyline going forth. I expect to see less and less of Luann’s high school/childhood buddies.

Well, it looks like the girls are singing their swan song…it seems as though Greg is giving them a future being apart yet being together all the same… ;)

Re: the end of the Luann strip…Greg still needs to draw the Senior Prom and Brad and Toni’s wedding. After that, your guess is as good as mine… ;)

I’d think if it were the end, everyone would be in the last strip.

Uh oh. The starting of the end of the strip? Ending it while on top? Stay tuned.

Time skip

Yes, IJB, I’m guessing a lot of posters don’t really care for this arc…it is kind of “soppy,” but I am sort of enjoying it. It gives the girls hope that they won’t be parted after high school. Although it happens more often than not… ;)

“So many worlds, so much to do, So little done, such things to be.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

And on that note, I’m off the see the wizard… ’nite all (if even there is an “all!”) ;)

And a little Jackson Browne/Clarence Clemmons (“You’re A Friend Of Mine”)

Dionne Warwick and friends, “That’s What Friends Are For”“With A Little Help From My Friends” (Beatles/ S.P.L.H.C.B.)“You’re My Best Friend”, Queen“Lean On Me”, Bill Withers“I’ll be There for You” by The Rembrandts (uggh… “Friends”… Lol!)“Thank You For Being A Friend”, Andrew Gold (as made famous by the Golden Girls)“Friends”, Elton John“Stand By Me”, Ben E. King

Just a rep for the city of Pitts, to give them the bill for the “non-911 call” that Brad and Toni called in….

And just when I had a chance to relax my eyes from all those from before… thanks a lot, Lol!!!!!

One of the most satisfying end of the week strips of this cartoon in a very long time.

No, some of them still replay every once in a while- like a flashback…. -Actually, I think that not only was it my GC anniversary a few weeks back, but I think my first Donnybattle was this very week….

Don’t need all 459 pages, but I’ve sure enjoyed laughing at the ones you’ve just posted. His lack of any reality was infuriating at times, but sort of hope he’s OK now.

Tuesday will be a year to the day (our time) from “the Proposal”…. of Brad and Toni….

Expert tug on the heartstrings of the audience here. It is, in a way, the end of an ere. But is also the beginning of a new one. And, yes, I expect we will see much less of Delta while she’s off in D.C. at Howard University. But Luann and Bernice should cross paths pretty often, though the relationship won’t be the same, with the new-and-improved Bernice and their separate circles of (sometimes new) friends….

Now that this party is over, it is time to start on the path to Prom. We must ask ourselves , “what will happen next?”

Actually Brad Bird has stated repeatedly that he would love to do an Incredibles sequel, but it must have a story that is worth it. He refuses to do it, “just for the money”.

I suspect Pixar agrees with him after Cars 2. I enjoyed C2 but an awful lot of people did not.

It’s funny. C2 grossed nearly $600 million in worldwide sales at a cost of only $200 million, yet it is considered by many to be Pixar’s first flop. We should all have flops like that.

…annd, here comes the lawsuit from Disney/Pixar.

The shadowing makes it look at first like that creep Gunther is hiding behind the couch

My favorite scene in Toy Story was when Woody said “Play nice!” to the bully.

I don’t think Luann is ending. Isn’t Greg handing it over to his daughter?

Luann Article

This summer, for the first time ever, Pixar got beat out at the box office by another CGI franchise.

Monsters University was hugely profitable, yeah…but Despicable Me 2 still clobbered it.

And it’s been announced that Pixar not be releasing a movie THIS summer, ( another first. )

I’ve been wondering ever since Cars 2…Has this studio lost its mojo?

“Someone needs to drastically cut back on the Nuclear(?!?) COFFEE…”_____________________________________

Now WHO would That “Someone” Be???

Me? I’ve Given Up COFFEE for Lent.

I had forgotten him. Anyone know what happened to him?

Ok, I hadn’t read the last post. What is his new name and avatar ? Should be easy to spot, but I haven’t.

Thank you EVER SO MUCH for giving us a DW rerun.Everything after that is better.

I hope the strip will continue after they graduate

This strip has reached its discerned, destinated destiny. The End.

•1: Planes was NOT a Pixar movie. It was a Disney movie all the way. Since Disney owns the rights to Pixar, they had the legal right to set it in the Cars universe. but Pixar had nothing to do with the movie.

•2: Planes had a budget of $50 million. It grossed world-wide $219 million, $90 million of that was domestic. So it definitely was no flop by any stretch of the imagination.

•3: I couldn’t be happier to hear that Brad Bird is finally actively working on I2. If ever there was a movie that cried out for a sequel, it was The Incredibles. If Brad Bird is working on it, then that means he has a story he feels is worth doing. Now if we find out that Pixar is working on I2 without him, then I would be worried.

There will also be a sequel to “Planes”, called “Planes: Fire And Rescue”. It will be out in July of this year…. - That’s why I said: “Blame the Mouse”. There’s so much of their name around, and their fingers are in almost everything … from sports to music to television, to restaurants… The over-saturation and monopolizing, among other things, will be like “B&L” was, in the Wal-E movie….

I’m hearing a little James Taylor:

I was hearing a little “Carole King.” :) Technically, she’s the composer, right? Although JT was definitely involved in the initial covers of it.

Goodbye to childhood – it’s on to adulthood. They’ll wind up at the same college – and I hope, like Doonesbury and For Better Or Worse, we’ll see them continue on in real time forever.

I’m sure they’re casting shadows, but Luann’s shadow is hidden by Bernice’s head, and Bernice’s shadow is hidden by Delta’s head.

Who knows what evil lurks in Bernice and Luann? Delta’s Shadow do!

That’s yet another aspect. Someone else hitting it bigger with a song than the original performer….

Suuuure!…. Everybody jumps on the shadow, but no one even dares to bother with the “tapering off” of the TV, to the left… Lol!…

These girls are so sweet. I am loving this story line.

But shorter

Actually, my favorite Randy Newman song is “Short People”

Beautiful, Simply Beautiful! Looking forward to the further adventures of Luann and friends!

Its kind of silly, but the contestants seem to like it really well, especially when they pick the right answer… ;)

Yes, but clearly not as “pushed” as the flat-screens are. Places like H.H. Gregg and Best Buy would be more likely to have them (in limited stock) than Target, Kmart and WalMart….

(activating James Bond/Montgomery Scott Impersonation:) That’d be a “wee bit of a problem… it would leave people “shaken, but not stirred”… the engines of law would not be able to “take any more”…. (terminating impression….about…now.)

Y’know, it takes a while to develop a skill such as replying to him. Years, even. Probably would be a good college course. Certainly not an easy feat for a novice, ha ha ha!!!!!

Wait until you see the photos of him….

Aww.

Chills. Bravo, Greg!

We haven’t seen these three together in a long time.
