Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 23, 2015

“Oooh. Rush,” Mrs. DeGroot says. Lovely.

Yep! Frank- “the Modern Day Warrior” (♪)… – “Ohhhh, whattta russsssh!” – Some would be so tempted to start learning origami… and turn each one into a snowball….

Yes, to give the students’ artwork the treatment it deserves, you will definitely need an upgraded sewer connection.

You suppose she has a “mean, mean stride”, too?….

And it should have been Form #2112, too…

“Pa-per View”“The Red Eye Special”“Red Tape, White Paper And Blue Tears“Crossed Eyes And Dotted Tease”“Technical Knock Out”“Pencilvania Dust”“An Inkling”“Can’t Wait For A Paperweight”“Ream You Out”“There’s An App(lication) For That!”“A Stationery Front”or“A Paper Cut Above The Rest”

No paperwork is anything but a drag. Frank has lost his mind…

Frank’s shirt looks like Gunther’s old cast-off plaid shirts. Maybe Frank is turning into Gunther. He used to love intensive details, too…

“Upgrade existing sewer connection” (don’t go there).

Interesting story.

Frank, the gallant Knight, off to slay the Bureaucratic Dragon!

Wait until he realizes all the application and licensing fees he’ll have to pay.

Toilet shaped art…?Sewer connection upgrades…?Evans is doing a “stream of consciousness” thing.

And it doesn’t get to go under “Community Chest”…

And then there’s the trying to make sure all them “bad boys” are filled out the way all the “gubmints” want ‘em to be! And then you have to make sure every level of government regulations (from fed to state, county [if applicable] and municipal) have been satisfied. And, too, making sure you didn’t forget any important form/schedule/attachment…..

Hoo boy! I hope their bank balance is huge or they win the lotto…or something. Cake bake sale?Get ready for forms 1-8956!

@JPW: Left you a late response to your query (in conjunction/harmony with the steps Brd also provided)…

Now,check Section 11 of the bankruptcy code.

They can borrow more $$ from Elwood Druit if things gets too pricey..Could use Luann as collateral.

$60,000???? Not nearly enough.

Nobody cares about these 2 old people. Where’s Gunther? Gunther is the most interesting person at this place.

Yes, in response to someone’s riff on rush above, I, too, remember The Road Warriors (a.k.a. Legion of Doom), Hawk and Animal.But paperwork is even more threatening and painful!Maybe Frank is an office-work masochist….

Grandpa says:In my day, we did not need government permission to start a business.

Frank’s so excited his hair is going the other way.

I know, let’s rejoin these two after the paint drys.

[Drinking a very large, hazelnut coffee along with a bowl of vanilla-tinctured burley:]I am not sure what has had Frank go off the deep end like this, but it is frightening. I cannot imagine much that would be LESS enjoyable than going through the permitting, rehabing, and then trying to keep financially afloat the venture he is so very gun-ho about. Frank is built from a different cloth than I am.

Rush?

Did Frank say “RUSH???”

“There is TROUBLE In the Household”

“All Their Savings, Just Now Fled!”

“While Old Franklin Screams OBSESSION!!!”

“And Nancy Just SHAKES Her Head.”

Loosely Based On the Rush cut, “Trees” from their Album “Hemispheres”

What a wild man he is.

Is Frank manic? I would be worried about someone who feels a “rush” at leaping into a business venture that is so ill-advised. Where is he coming up with the extra $1.5+M to pay for this project?

They need that sewer upgrade for the crowd the warehouse has not yet seen. Exciting!!!

Yeah Tom… all those horrible “liberal democratic” regulations that hinder business… like safety regulations, health codes, public municipality codes, toxic cleanup regulations. Yep… the “liberal democrats” sure are trying to nickle and dime businesses into oblivion all to make themselves rich I bet, because we sure don’t need any protection as a society from those issues. [gag]

I take it they have purchased that delapadated warehouse.

Yep. A Rush. Even the details are cool when you “own” them and see the bigger picture.

Sad, I used to love it when he would be on the old “Don & Mike” radio show, he could be really funny. RIP DVP.

“What’s your problem with that?”*Scoonz – oh, grow up yourself. He’s kidding, you know?

@tom_wrighttom_wright said, More business hindering regulations by liberal democrats. . . . . ;—————————————You don’t want rules about how sewage is disposed ?.No community owned sewage lines?Would corporate-owned sewage lines be free?.Conservatives have some sense, and they do not advocate tossing your sewage out the window as in the middle ages. .Think of the mess around the base of the Empire State Building.

Finding purpose in life breathes life into paperwork

I wouldn’t describe Luann as a funny comic strip, but it is amusing. However, I have my doubts about this story line. There is a big warning light that signals disaster.

“Or:

“Forms Line To The Rear”

^Heh, heh… with so many, they are probably also lining “… Out The….”

“Red Tapes Of Wrath”^I’m sure they’re probably tempted to turn those stacks into a “Dust Bowl”…or “vice versa”…

So I’m a lot older than you are…

SPOILER ALERT

I knew there had to be a midlife crisis for Frank in there somewhere. Sure enough, he’s about to ‘get the old band together’, while leaving poor Nancy with all the boring paperwork. (No wonder he tried to tell her paperwork was a ‘rush’…)
