Transcript:
Person 1: "Hey, happy birthday, Luann!"
Person 2: "18 now! Congrats!"
Luann: "Yeah! Thanks!"
Bernice: "Who were they?"
Luann: "No idea. But cool that total strangers are wishing me happy birthday!"
“Throwing Yourself Into Your Work”“Unrecognized Talent”“Drawn To You”“Incog-Neat Oh!”“Speed Reader And Eraser X”“Not Keeping Up With The Kardashians Evanses”“The Unknown Comic”“Cameo”“Chomping At The Bit Part”“Just Us Regular Folks”or…“I’ll Need To See Some ID”
“Brought to you” by…. – Faye Moss’ Fake ID Stand and Taco and Knick Knack Emporium…. “Buy a Bobblehead and an ID, and the Taco is free! But don’t get caught… or we don’t know you!”
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….
Wow, Luann; if only you knew who they were, and their relation to you and Bernice! How nice to see Greg and Karen visit in the strip! I didn’t know they patronized Weenie World, too!
Looks like this is the pic it was drawn from. http://media.utsandiego.com/img/photos/2013/09/21/UTI1735520_t540.jpg?fcdc9254ac583bc086128bb79016bfc7c35538df
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! –
I suppose this has been said a million times (however, I am just coming in) , but it is easy to see that the guy is Greg and the gal his daughter. Nice!!! ;)
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!

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.

Lady Nicole about 10 years ago
I can’t say I expected that.
JayBluE about 10 years ago
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…
DaJellyBelly about 10 years ago
Obviously the birthday story arc is finished. Now, what will tomorrow bring?
JayBluE about 10 years ago
“You Don’t Have To Be A Star” (Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.)
bama1fan92 about 10 years ago
Maybe he’s back form vacation now so the retro Luann is over.
bama1fan92 about 10 years ago
And if that’s Greg that’s a very kind drawing since he has a 27 year old grandson.
JayBluE about 10 years ago
…forgot “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down In Da Pitts”….

Well I be darn, Greg Evans and hie wife I think
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 10 years ago
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.
SactoSylvia about 10 years ago
I’d call that “pulling a Pastis” – but with much more class, of course!
Sisyphos about 10 years ago
Wow, Luann; if only you knew who they were, and their relation to you and Bernice! How nice to see Greg and Karen visit in the strip! I didn’t know they patronized Weenie World, too!
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member about 10 years ago
Fun! And it is nice to be back to the modern drawings!
diannell about 10 years ago
I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the strip:(
nananonie about 10 years ago
Me too I love Luann
Sportymonk about 10 years ago
Maybe its how he thinks he looks rather than how he looks, like the image of Norman Rockwell painting himself.
Edward White about 10 years ago
It took only 24 years to reach 18 1985-2014
Mordock999 Premium Member about 10 years ago
WOW, Lu FINALLY, gets to MEET Her Maker!
(A Moment of Reverent Silence)
Soooooooo, Where’s Her Gift?
David Vermilyea about 10 years ago
So nice of you both to stop by.
MAGA Premium Member about 10 years ago

I met my maker, and I made him cry.
TheLiam about 10 years ago
Could you imagine what the comic would look like if they put as much effort into drawing the characters as they did themselves?

Airman about 10 years ago
Love it when someone comes up with a creative new twist.Hope the nitpickers don’t get too crazy with Greg’s little joke.
themom51 about 10 years ago
Greg looks really good for being almost 67…but wait, Luann’s really a lot older, too.

So…who were they?
harkherp about 10 years ago
Greg drew himself to look like “The Hef”!! Where’s his smoking jacket and pipe???
dottylu about 10 years ago
We didn’t know who they were. We guessed Brangelina !!!!
Timothy Kietzman Premium Member about 10 years ago
Genius! Absolute Genius! It’s like us and God, except she can actually look at her creator. AWESOME.

Greg marinated in Grectian Formula before this appearance.
Jim Kerner about 10 years ago
That would be interesting. I would hope that she is ready. Says the guy who’s been voting since 1972, when 18 year olds were able to vote.
RonBerg13 Premium Member about 10 years ago
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!
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Yup, would seem so!
tammyspeakslife Premium Member about 10 years ago
Nice fan tribute
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
I suppose this has been said a million times (however, I am just coming in) , but it is easy to see that the guy is Greg and the gal his daughter. Nice!!! ;)
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
Nothing feels weirder than a first-time “empty nester”…but, take heart!, you still have your daughter for the next 8 (?) years! ;)
Argythree about 10 years ago
Tomorrow’s (or rather today’s) comic is already posted on the ArcaMax site, in black and white…
JayBluE about 10 years ago
It also reminds me of why parents always want to hear from us, and what we’ll also be saying….
ORMouseworks about 10 years ago
Don’t they, though?! BTW, my and my hub’s anniversary is November 30th… ;)
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Yeah, that would seem like a “tsunami” to an island….

Charles Weir about 10 years ago
Yep, met them both at Comic-Con one year.
