Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 29, 2015
Transcript:
Luann: "Quill, if I take the teaching job and don't go to New York with you, will you be upset?" Quill: "Yeah. I'll toss a huge fit" Quill: "Hey, do I wish you shared my passion for theater? Of course. But you enjoy teaching and you're good at it. Maybe this job will help you find YOUR passion" Luann: "Oh, believe me. I have"

Quill shows that he is intelligent and compassionate. One can see that he comes from good stock!

I agree…a man should not be a woman’s passion. It should be a lifetime goal

I know this may not be a popular thing to say, but wanting to marry the man you love, and raise a family with him, has been kinda the natural order of things for most of human history. Luann, if I am reading this correctly, is following her true passion, and it is no small thing.

Luann: “Right now I have something I want to get on my chest.”Quill: “Don’t you mean ‘off’?”Luann: “Do you really want me to explain this in words?”

Amazing. I think Luann is finally showing some maturity.

Luann put his hand there and Quilly turned his pants brown..They were blue yesterday… . . . "-————————He obviously changed pants.
wiselad over 9 years ago
looks like the line of left side of left leg(from our POV) was not all the way to the margin line, thus when the "fill with color was used for the sofa, it got also the pants

So this teaching assugnment might be the start of a great professional life for Luann, as an individual or as a couple. However the trip to NY could catapult Luann into adulthood. And if Luann does not go – certainly there’s a greater risk that someone would get their claws into Quill and he stays there with a new GF.

She’s just being romantic. After all, she’s taking the job…

Smirkety smirk. We have achieved ultimate blandness. LOL I’m pretty sure Quill last tossed a huge fit when he was a toddler.
Sisyphos over 9 years ago
And Luann places Quill’s hand on her chest and utters sweet words. Yet it appears that, with Quill’s urging, she will take the teaching job.Three bells and all is well in Pitts!

So now she’s upset those readers who think she shouldn’t show any signs of sexuality, AND the ones who want to see her spending the rest of her life amassing as much money as possible, at the expense of any personal relationships.

cdward over 9 years ago
Oh come on. These are teenagers. Of course he’s her passion. Not her only passion but definitely right up there. Hardly means she has no other vision for life.

So the NYC is now definite for Quill? Last I heard it was not a sure thing.
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member over 9 years ago
That’s odd – I just checked my local archives and they are blue. I think something happened in the creation of the web version at GoComics from the print-ready version that was uploaded…
Willywise52 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Even better,it seems that Luann is definite for Quill.Woo hoo.:).

Awquard hand placement, lol.
Luanaphile over 9 years ago
Luann places Quill’s hand where her brain is, but that is what makes her more interesting than Quill.

That’s funny!!

May I invoke the late great Al Martino?“Bluuuuuuue Spanish pants…”
Diane Lee Premium Member over 9 years ago
Once he goes to New York, it is going to be full of cute young women who do share his passion for the theater. Unfortunately, that is going to happen even if Luann is there. It’s better to get a Dear LuAnn letter when you are enjoying your life than to be sent home to nothing.

I’m thinking there’ll be a new arc tomorrow. Haven’t seen Crystal for a while – a good character…
kauri44 over 9 years ago
I actually feel bad that it’s stated here that Luann doesn’t share Quill’s passion for the theatre. She has a natural talent for set design and possibly acting – I wish we could have seen her go to NY and perhaps chance into opportunities of her own to learn more about the craft. Early childhood education is a laudable (if majorly underpaid) career but it’s also the “sensible” and no doubt expected choice for Luann to look after kids in her home town over the summer. I’d like to see our main characters see a bit of the world (without panicking like Gunther) and experience life beyond Pitts.

“I wouldn’t consider hooking up in the prop closet during work hours to be a good example for young men.”.Where would YOU suggest they hook up?

Re: Domestic choice. I know a number of admirable housewives, and consider that a valid choice. But I reacted to people treating it as the ONLY choice, and claiming that Luann was not in love unless she jettison everything for a few extra hours with Quill in New York. Besides, even if housewife is your plan A, you still have to consider that men can become disabled, temporarily or permanently, and need a mate capable of taking over in a pinch, also that men sometimes die young, and sadly that some men leave. You still need back-up skills.

RE: Quill’s “stock”. I read the comment about convicts not as a put-down of Australians, but as a put-down of eugenics, which has destroyed uncountable lives, including but not limited to six million Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs in the Holocaust, not to mention the majority of the indigenous Americans from which I spring.

RE: Quill’s character. I suspect he’s about to get a lot more interesting, if he studies method-acting in New York!
whiteaj over 9 years ago
If Quill doesn’t get the message from this Luann move, he’s a real dope.

“if they had purposely changed the pants he was wearing in the closet it would be about the most subtle sign of sexual activity ever used.”*Asted – I would have thought it marked fear or nervousness— such as “She scared the crap out of me.”

The hand to the chest is no big deal. Is there anyone who thinks they haven’t slept together already.

The hand to the chest is no big deal. Is there anyone who thinks they haven’t slept together already.-Whats with this “slept with”? Aren’t they totally awake, if y’know what I mean?

Not really. Same with Gunther and Rose and Brad and Toni. Just discreetly off stage. ;-)

My browser shows blue pants.
walter Premium Member over 9 years ago
I see today the pants color has been fixed. It was, as you noted, brown when this strip was first posted last night.
ACTIVIST1234 over 9 years ago
“He’s about as interesting as watching paint dry.”*LC – Yeah, a ROLE model. He is smart, centered, good natured, somewhat adventurous, faithrful, funny, compassionate, motivated. He would appear to make a wonderful husband and father.*And no, I’m not jealous of Luann. (not much)
Just So So Premium Member over 9 years ago
There is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing young that you’ve found your partner for life. I was 17 when I married my high school sweetheart. We’ve been married for 36 years. It didn’t stop me from pursuing my goals or being my own person. Good golly, Luann made the “mature” decision and Quill supported her, and there is still criticism. It would have been ok if she’d gone the other way. She’s still young and it’s ok to not always make the right decision. There are more regrets for the things you don’t do or let go by than for the less sensible things you do.

So yahoo news pretty much messed up in their comics section and posted what’s gonna happen in the next five strips… It’s already down, but one of the errors is still in there (third strip down).

So there’s hope for mini-Elvis?
waterfalling over 9 years ago
I thought theater was her passion??? At least it was last year, the whole acting and singing thing…She was turned down for one camp, and she chucked the whole thing? Acting is nothing but steeling yourself for rejection and persevering…teaching is fine if that’s your passion but this is a bit inconsistent.

locake over 9 years ago
I think Quill is great. He is interesting, intelligent, nice, funny, motivated, attractive and a good friend. He is the best male character in the strip. Better than T.J., Ox, Brad, Frank, Gunther, Mr. Gray, Knute , Mr. Fogarty, Dirk or Leslie Knox.
locake over 9 years ago
The second best male character after Quill would be Frank. He is boring but solid and dependable.

> mini-Elvis has left the building … hopefully forever!>I was hoping the same thing when Gunther left for Peru, but like a fungal infection that’s resistant to antibiotics, he came back.

“He’s about as interesting as watching paint dry.”.It’s more fun than you’d think.

“They can get a hotel. They can do stuff in the car.”.But then they wouldn’t have all the neat toys to play with.Besides, what they do in their break times refreshes them, so all is well..Jealousy, a long four letter word.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Teaching is now Luann’s passion in life? Is her role model Mr. Fogarty? He must be, since that’s the only teacher she ever had.

In fairness, if he puts his hand there, he’s going to feel something unless he’s got freakishly small hands.

Airman over 9 years ago
Just a silly idea. Maybe Quill is rehearsing for a jail break movie called “Bust Out”, and Luann is a stand in for Sofie Vergara.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Spoiler:
Luann does not regard the teaching job as a chance to pursue her “passion” by getting a foot in the door towards a teaching career. It’s a job, to make money.
Argythree over 9 years ago
AND ANOTHER SPOILER
Somewhat adult scene coming up. Cover your eyes, kiddies.
Interesting that someone else providing a SPOILER notice was only commenting on the fact that Luann recognized that the teaching job was a means of earning money. Apparently, that commenter believes that all who are passionate about something would be thrilled to do it for no salary, and live on the street…

“Sex pad”? Did we suddenly go back to the 1950s, Daddio?

History is in the past.Alchemy is history, but it led to chemistry which IS a science.
Past abuse does not preclude proper present use.
Actual understanding of genetics and genetic technology could free parents of the horror of passing on killer genes to their children. Still their children and their DNA, just from the safer half.
