    Wow! Lu and Bern met with Greg and Karen… I guess their experience being there in comic form left them both a little,uh….. flat ….

    Methinks it’s a self-portrait of the cartoonist and his wife or daughter.

    Nor had to get the bus… but they did get to use the bathroom at that bus station, so their trip wasn’t a total washout…

    And if that’s Greg that’s a very kind drawing since he has a 27 year old grandson.

    Actually, the fare seems to have gotten healthier.. for instance, Luann’s got a lettuce burger (where’s the beef?) and Bern looks like she has a “salady-like substitute”…. – Maybe they had to change it to “drown out” what used to be the mobile health food truck….

    Greg and his DAUGHTER….Karen …. who, at 5, was the inspiration for Luann….and is now co-writing the strip (but not doing any of the artwork.)

    This was taken almost exactly one year ago, when Greg was 65 and Karen was 34.

    Could you imagine what the comic would look like if they put as much effort into drawing the characters as they did themselves?

    For those who haven’t seen it, yet, this is from a Luann Q&A seiminar during the “Reuben Comic Awards” time from a few months back, this year…. – As Scott Stevenson mentioned, This shows not only Greg and Karen, but also his wife (all in person) and also pics of some family… you can look at it and today’s strip, and see all the “uncanny” resemblances! –

    Comic strips are wonderful. Not only can you travel back in time in comic strips (archives), but 29 years can actually be 18 years. Neat!

    This really is one for the fans. No one among the general readers would recognise Greg and Karen. In fact, although I have seen photos of Greg before, even I was just guessing (with confidence, from the context) that it was Karen. I love it!
