Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 02, 2015

See? Frank’s no dummy! If he’s going to do something stupid, he’s going to do his best to hide it, wait until the last possible moment, and then once he gets caught, he’ll then “whip out” his phone. He already has the florist and jewler on speed dial ….

They (whoever “they” are) sure come up with the most interesting new catch phrases.

“What, Me Worry?”“Offer And On”“Give Me A Reason”“Red Flags, A Bull And A Lot Of China”“A Pre-Tempt-ive Strike”“…Know When To Hold ’Em….” (♫)“In-vestment Through The Out Door”“A Little ‘Scratch’ For A Spendin’ Itch”“Don’t Count Your Chickens Before The Plan Is Hatched”or“Frank And A Stalk OfBeans

Wearhouse…where house…hohouse…anyhouse…it’s still rock and roll to me…

Nancy was practically sitting in Quill’s lap. That’s something Frank should worry about.

I wasn’t knocking up your daughter, we were…uh…just making ‘art.’ Cause yeah.

walk of art(ist) Was that an innuendo for something when he said time to go make art?also where are they going i’m assuming its a museum

Investing money with TJ behind Nancy’s back are we, Frank ?

Maybe it would make a good wedding venue.

Gunther’s girlfriend Rosa is hanging out with HIM?! That’s actually a probable scenario.

I’m betting that “go make art” is referring to drawing scenery for the play.

Next: a flashback to young Frank partying in the warehouse with his friends, and they find out it’s haunted

Yeah Nancy, Frank is excited about something, better nip that in the bud right now.

This comic is about a young teens growing up period..school..friends and the writer of the strip does all he can to give it a semi realistic insite into her life but also keeps all the sexual inuendos and comings and goings out of the comic..including the back stories..Brad and his fiancee etc yet there are so many readers and commentators’ who look for any and all and mostly try to make something out of absolutly nothing…Is it because4 most of them are teens them selves or are older but their lives and happenings are so shallow..Anyone got a clue..?

Be afraid, Nancy, be very afraid! While Frank’s concern is probably unfounded, yours is on a solid (poured concrete) foundation. The only question remaining is, I fear, how much of the warehouse does Frank own?

Nancy is as sharp as they come. She picked up on that pretty quickly.

Yeah. Sure. “Art” Frank. And Your HIGHLY Impressionable Daughter Is the “Canvas.”

So My Question IS: WHY Aren’t YOU Kicking the CRAP Outta Pretty-Boy???

The wife who’s husband has a comb-over has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Is Frank retired? What’s the DeGroots’ source of income these days? How worried should Nancy be, if Frank has risked a significant sum on a rental property that may turn out to stay empty?

As for whether Frank should be worried, I doubt it – Mr. Zebo seems to prefer offbeat projects, so he’s unlikely to give the art class more nearly conventional assignments, such as creating a sculpture of the male nude.

I think Zorky has moved out of the attic and is living in an apartment with Knute these days.

So………….. Her first grandchild will be names Art.

And Yes, a story arc based on Zorky would be far more interesting than one based on Quill, and it would be far less creepy than one based on Gunther.

-marriage counseling-I’m beginning to understand your constant postings about how unhappy Nancy and Frank are. You must be a marriage counselor by profession, and you’re looking for business…

Well, I’m about to have a scan to see if I have a tumor on my pancreas, and I doubt that is from tea…

Oh Puddles. You’re going to have company in your house for a couple of days.

Thanks for your good wishes. I am living in denial right now, since I have friends who died of pancreatic cancer. There seems to be no real protocol on that one.-I’m hoping for pancreatitis, if anything. That’s not good, but isn’t as much of a death sentence.-Oh, well, I’m pretty amazed to have made it to age 65 with the aggressive digestive disorder I inherited from my father. We lost him at the age of 40; about the same age his own father was when he died of the same thing…-Sorry to be such a Debby Downer..

I make Fart! Every morning! :)

<h1>Torad<h1> produces font this size:

Thanks. To be honest, I had not yet pursued those other HTML tags because I wasn’t certain of their success, given that the tag was deprecated. I guess they’re moving more toward HTML5. I tried some <span> features, but those didn’t work either.

I guess I’ll have to check them all out. Might see some “Test” posts that appear and disappear. I’ll try to keep it to a minimum.

I don’t think I have ever seen Frank look quite so excited as he does (for some reason) today in the 1st panel.

If you’re worried about people seeing you test code, just go back to an earlier strip and test there where no one is looking.

No need. I was able to complete some testing here.

It seems that some HTML5 things work, and some do not. As a general rule, it “works” if the tag doesn’t require qualifying arguments (e.g. a “style” argument). That’s not totally true as the “<a>” and the “<img>” tags work with their arguments.

Some things that work (so far):<b> bold<strong> strong<i> italics<em> emphasis(italics)<small> small typeface<ins>inserted (underlined) text<del> Delete/strike <sub> subscript text<sup> superscript text

Things that don’t work (so far):

<mark> Highlighted Text

The block quotes do not function anymore, also. :(

Test of the <blockquote> tag.

This is a test of the Blockquote command. You see, it actually does work.

Or, perhaps you meant a different quote cmd (i.e. the <q> tag)?

Thanks….

Many thanks, can use all the prayers I can get…

I once did a style guide for everything here, but it’s sadly out of date. I need to update it.@argy.bargy2: Sending you good energy. I hope it’s nothing.

The text of the block quote still appears, but the colored background and the colored border I used to use does not.

Just what I was going to ask you.

As stated, it seems that tags that require arguments won’t render properly. The arguments won’t be accepted. Only the tag itself.

Unfortunate.

Getting back to the strip, why does Lu have to shower & dress up to have Qu help her with school work? Or even for a makeout session?*Back in the day, when my guy came over, we were both “as is”, since we knew each other too well to try to impress the other. Is dressing for a date now required for a home visit?

“Zorky” ( the blue-skinned sibling of Luann and Brad)”*I know Zorky, and he is a friend of mine. The picture you show of the three siblings— Brad, Lu when she finds out about her lost brother, and Zorky— is priceless! But when did Zorky change from flue-skin to green-skin? Was it the same time as the transgender operation?

I happen to like yellow hominy myself. Fried some up the other night.

They’re also very good with shrimp. ;-) Mmmm.

worrying parents are what made Tylenol its fortune…..

So sorry!!!!

Could be the makings of a movie- “Torad, Torad, Torad”… of course, it can be set in peace time, though!!!

Wow!!!! Quick trigger, much?

And, plus, the “fake link” was a reference to a discovery that a few of us had made a few days ago, and Brd was reiterating his explanation (similar to what he had also explained at that time), of what was going on, from then ….

I was also thinking that limiting the use of certain tags, etc. was to “crack down” on abuse…or the “potential” for such, thereof, of extensive links, posts, videos (potential for copyright suits in the case of linking to outside videos, whether or not such would have been infringing) and such…
