Transcript:
Mrs. Manezon: "I want to take full advantage of your skills, Quill. If I load too much on you-" Quill: "Theater's my true passion Mrs. Manzeon. Load me up!!" Mrs. Manezon: "I will!" Quill: "But a light load! I have other true passions!" Quill: "And he saves it!" Luann: "Barely"

The women stil keeps her nose up like she’s snubbing the world. Does she look through it like a pariscope or is she afraid if she level’s it off she’ll develolpe a nosebleed?

I have to say…. in real life, it is a sad thing to sacrifice some things for your job (Especially where family is concerned!!). However, Lu’s “track record” has seemed (as her mother has stated) to be a bit on the “north side” of clingy. – So I guess this week could possibly answer the question of “how much time is enough time?”… and whether or not Quill or Luann are being reasonable (whether both, one or the other, or neither )….

I like (e.) myself… ;)

The reason that Manezon has her head in that position, is to depict her as the “trope/stereotype” of a confident and theatrical person. Her head being up is part of a portrayal of speaking/walking/moving with a “dramatic flare” and a distinctive enunciation of her words and a confident, thespian-like image…. – We’d have to imagine her speaking, etc. with that sort of “Sunset Boulevard/Norma Desmond” sort of air about her…

Don’t you Just Love to be on a company’s website trying to purchase something when, after going through all the hoops, they Finally admit it is Not in stock…grrrrr! Well, that was a cardigan sweater I really, Really wanted…however, they Did have my hub’s new jeans in stock. You win some, you lose some. I wonder if this little aside could have been applied to yesterday’s “Luann”? Anywayyyyy, IS Katie is nowhere to be seen…I’d better go check up on her! She may no longer be a puppy, but being an Irish, she thinks being ornery is part of the Breed Standard! ’Nite all! ;)-—————————————————————————“Too see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wildflower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour.”(William Blake, 1757-1827)

Yes, Quill, be sure to tell your boss not to give you too much work. That’s a great idea. Tell her everything! Tell her you need time for your girlfriend, who you have taken on as an assistant! I bet she’ll be very impressed.

In a peculiar way, I am really drawn in by Mrs. Manezon. She looks exactly like someone in the theater world I knew once upon a time! She is definitely a theatrical type. I am not sure that Quill is cut out for the theater, however. It’s just that he has leading-man looks….

Or it could have been from looking up at the large screen monitor that hangs down at the WalMart entrance. The weather report, in-store promo and the sale on knee-hi socks crawling across the screen must’ve really gotten her attention…..

Hahaha so funny that Quill wants to shirk his job in favor of spending time with his girlfriend. Ridiculous.

Ah-Hah. So it STARTS.
Soon, Pretty-Boy. VERY Soon YOU are going to be Offered, No, FORCED with a Choice. What’s MORE Important? Your “Promising” Career or Your DEMANDING Girlfriend?
Here’s a Hint" Those Demands become EXPONENTIAL. ESPECIALLY After You’re Married…..,

Does she have an under-bit? Her forehead looks pushed back and her chin is very prominent.
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace over 10 years ago
“Barely” counts.
eieio2 over 10 years ago
Mrs. Mazedon keeps her chin up to avoid the appearance of sagging jowls. I do the same when a camera appears.
Nancy J Stout over 10 years ago
Keeping your head back also makes the neck look smooth. Maybe her neck is too saggy looking when her head is in a normal position.
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr over 10 years ago
Ms. Manezon stands as she does due to so-called “stage poise”.Chin up-shoulders back-PROJECT!
Fan o’ Lio. over 10 years ago
She looks like she us suffering from whiplash. Where is her neck brace?

1) What happened to the hat & nose? Didn’t they want Ms. M to see they were already rehearsing?2) Quill keeps his shirt buttoned to the top— just like Gunther!

Botox. Fake people use Botox, and Ms. Manezon is about the fakest person in cartoon strips. I guess we will have to put up with her in place of Mr. Fogerty. He wasn’t as unreal, and he wasn’t as pathetic. Ms. Manezon beats him in both areas.
Fan o’ Lio. over 10 years ago
Haven’t heard from her in years. I still read Luann but rarely comment. I hang out mostly at Andy Capp.
Willow Mt Lyon over 10 years ago
I think Luann is created to be an immature character. Her getting involved in jobs that require her to work with children shows her being okay as a role model, but when it comes to boys and romance, she is very immature. I hope the teenage girls reading the strip realize that she is not someone to imitate.
Thank you for your response Saturday after my last post. I appreciate it.

She’s in Theater – what do you expect?
lwcalhounHotmail over 10 years ago
Luann needs to get busy focusing on her won life. Then she wouldn’t have these expectations of monopolize all of Quill’s time.

“That was close Quill. Too close”*LC: Saved by a scowl! (always knew that girl would come in handy some day).

Well, what’s next for the kids? Can’t they find someplace where no one will interrupt them? If they tried to do anything at Quill’s, Ma Berger would just arrive home earlier than expected…

Aw. Don’t be Cruill.
les nessman over 10 years ago
I think she’s related to ’The Elephant Man"
Jim Kerner over 10 years ago
The hills are alive with the sound of raging hormones. But, I’m not saying from whom.
TORAD_07 over 10 years ago
Worse than that. As we see today, Luann is measuring the quality of her relationship to Quill! by how much he is willing to goof around with her instead of doing his job.
Which might just prove to be the fuse that lights the “relationship ending” dynamite…. 8-O
We’ll see…

Since both entities were born in 1947, there is a rumor going ’round that Iggy Pop and David Bowie are the same person.-Does that mean that the three people I know of who were born same day/same year as I was and I are the same person? Perhaps one soul can re-incarnate into several bodies simultaneously.

“Mrs. Manezon leaves thinking…”
Very true!

Luann needs a makeover.

I wonder if Mrs. Manezon is supposed to have that Margaret Dumont theatrical lilt?
TheDOCTOR over 10 years ago
When Quill sez: “And he saves it.” Is he talkin’ about his..But needles to say, Luann agrees . :)

Yes, Mrs. M Is surely one odd character… And, then again, so are some posters here LOL (of Course, that does Not include me!). Heheheheh… ;)
