Transcript:
Luann: "Knute, did you study all the voting material?" Knute: "Nah. I just read blogs by people who think like me" Knute: "Whoo! Tossed salad!" Knute: "Ta-da! Not a tomato dropped!" Luann: "There are people who think like him?" Crystal: "Very unlikely"

You’re one of a kind, Knute. One of a kind.

Well, some of it must be clinging to the ceiling… probably out of fear…… – Sure hope K nut e doesn’t find out about the “dressing” room…. – And if there’s any seafood in that salad, he’d better take it one bite at a time… that’s a lot of brain food- don’t want him to get overwhelmed…

God Bless Knute…

This is what makes a good comic – good theater. The last three lines perfectly fit each character. Before he became a cartoonist, Trudeau (Doonsbury) directed plays. For Better or For Worse also had a good sense of theater. And of course, Peanuts…

What, Luann, you’ve never heard of the Silly Party?

“If Knute had used yellow pear tomatoes, There would be a song for him: …”^I also heard REM wrote the whole “Green” Album, after seeing him open for Gallagher….. – And that Green Day were inspired to rename their band after his antics… better than their first choice, anyway (The Three Mops)….

Actually,funny thing- “Long John” is also another name for the “Cadillac of Donuts”… with, or without filling…

Can I borrow that idea, too? I’d have to push those two cats out of my way though. Had snow on the ground this morning and it was mostly gone by noon. Then it started again tonight while we went to dinner with friends to celebrate a birthday. (Not Greg’s, sorry Greg, I didn’t know it was yours too at the time.) North of us, where I’m originally from, they had 6 inches over ice. Really bad for driving. Family posted pictures on fb. Made me glad I’d moved, even if not that far.

I love Luann, but it’s not often it makes me laugh out loud. Today’s strip did.

Well I’ve SAID it Before and I’ll SAY it Again: If there was EVER a Good Reason to RAISE the Voting Age to about 35 or so, Then Knute-Ball is IT!
JayBluE almost 10 years ago
Yeah, that it is! No use in “wasting energy”!
Angelalex242 almost 10 years ago
Well, there are 7 billion people. While each off them is unique, there is probably some portion of 7 billion that thinks enough like Knute (even in real life, sadly…) to be significant.

I’m always surprised by the number of comments Luann gathers in the middle of the night.
Either:
(a) There are more Luann fans outside North America than I thought.
or (b) You crazy people spend your late nights (and early mornings) reading Luann. It’s not like I’m not guilty of this too but still… wow.
JayBluE almost 10 years ago
“…He’s probably the kind, that if you really needed help in a pinch, he’d be right there. Even adding a little levity to whatever the situation is.” ^Yeah, can’t beat that! And it seems why he has so many friends!
Yeah, that’s one of the best things about Knute…
JayBluE almost 10 years ago
I take it that it was a packed house, too! – LOL, the closest we ever got to seeing them perform was when they were featured on “CBS Sunday Morning” that featured them and also Billie Joe Armstrong’s foray into a bit of Broadway….

@Brdshtt@IamJayBluE-———————————————————————————Yeah, I suppose it’s like watching a late night TV show. But commenting and conversing takes more effort/energy than sitting in front of a television screen. At least more effort than I’m willing to offer at early hours in the morning. =)
William Loster almost 10 years ago
Although queer, Knute is one of the most likeable characters in the strip. Eccentricity looks good on him.

Just don’t try that at home.

Well, we had our first dusting of snow for the season, last night. Just on the grassy areas and roofs, not on the roads, although it will be a tad slippery until later in the morning.
I am pleased to see that at least Lu is thinking about what she would have done to vote had she focused on it. She just had other priorities. Hopefully, as Quill suggests, it won’t be an issue next year. Of course, it will likely be an “off year,” electionwise (no major campaigns)… ah well.
Glad you’re back Jay. Hope you’re feeling better.

That first panel is a microcosm of what we’ve become as a society in which too many people are ready and willing to chose sides, thus closing their minds to genuine thoughtful exchanges of ideas in favor of adopting prefab talking points as their own. And look at what that’s gotten us.

“Crystal, Set Your eyes in Quill. That would be interesting.”_____________________________________
Yes, Indeed That WOULD be Interesting and Welcome! Better STILL would be a Rosa/Quill Pairing with Pretty Boy Leaving for Peru for GOOD and Gunther Returning.I don’t think, however that Greg wants to deal with Thousands of ANGRY e-mails From Hurt, Disappointed, Female fans, if THAT Blessed Event were to happen….,

“If You’re old enough to die for your country, you’re old enough to vote.”_____________________________________
You Know, Really I used to Say That Very Thing when I was a Lad of 18, many Decades Ago. But Back THEN, There was a little something called the “Draft” and Guys HAD to Go. Now its “All Volunteer”.
There are Some Folks like Rep. Charlie Rangel that Say We should bring the Draft BACK but This Time include the Gals.
I SAY, let the Drones do the Fighting! Until “They” Demand the Right to Vote.
Uuuuh, WHAT Is IN THIS COFFEE???

Aye. Crystal’s wrong on this. It’s very likely.

Greg, come up with better material; we had to endure months of this political crap already from the candidates and elections

I thought you wanted Crystal to look for a human male. The way people on this site describe Quill, he can’t be any less ‘humanoid’ than you believe Knute to be. In fact, since Knute has genuinely unique ideas, he is more human than Quill….
whiteaj almost 10 years ago
Which is why I oppose “get out the vote” campaigns.
Argy.Bargy2 almost 10 years ago
It’s very interesting that all those posters who were all over Luann yesterday for being ‘self-absorbed’ instead of ‘a mature citizen’ have said nothing critical about Knute explaining that he just read blogs written by people he agrees with. Double standard much?

Knute is the Maroon Wiggle…“Tossed salad, Yummy Yummy!”

Poor baby. Up here in New Jersey, we’re in the forties by day and thirties at night.

I don’t think Crystal is entirely correct in her assessment of how voters think, but that’s okay, because she’s the hottie of the comic strip. Have Knute and Crystal ever showed some romance in their relationship?.
Jim Kerner almost 10 years ago
I still enjoy it and Ron Howard and I were both born in the same year.
Argy.Bargy2 almost 10 years ago
Knute is dumb like a fox. Since I’ve been reading this comic, I’ve always thought that Knute was Mr. Evan’s idea of a ‘slacker’ kid, one who did as little as possible to get by. This has more to do with lack of interest in getting ahead than it does lack of brain power…
Meh~tdology, fka Pepelaputr almost 10 years ago
Does anyone else see Crystal’s comment as simply “allaying” Miss Whitebread Luann’s “fears” about people different from her?Oooooooo! That’s right!Lu hasn’t actually MET the Friends of Dez, has she?
Sisyphos almost 10 years ago
Very humorous today, thanks to Crystal’s wry wit and Luann’s pointed question, all at the expense of Knute (who can afford it)….

I just read some of the blogs from yesterday. I was 17 when I registered to vote. I turned 18 just before the primary but not before the last day to register to vote in the primary. I wasn’t certain of the rules, so I went up to the voter registration table on campus and asked. Twenty years later I advised my son to go ahead and register. He voted for the first time three days after his 18th birthday.

“Being able to be 10 years younger at night.” ^(Lol, I didn’t even catch that!!!) Maybe it’s possible, once everybody (including the bill collectors) “retires for the night” and you can finally get some “peace and quiet”, thereby allowing you to get two tenths percent of your sanity back…
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member almost 10 years ago
So Knute is really dumb and wants to be a janitor. Is that what I read? Breakfast Club fodder?
Airman almost 10 years ago
Knute will always be happy unless Crystal ends their relationship, but Crystal won’t because she’s totally into him, even though she won’t quite admit it. They will always be a team.
reedkomicks Premium Member almost 10 years ago
BTW, where’s Bernice?
ORMouseworks almost 10 years ago
Suppose Knute the “janitor” opens a small janitorial business? He could be making a lot more money than his friends… ;)
