    Hopefully, he didn’t use “Gorilla Glue” to attach that teardrop. Otherwise, it’ll stick with him for a long time and he’ll have a hard time getting rid of it …. – Or maybe he produced it, when he recalled all the bordedom he kept saying he felt, when he was running the truck….. Out of Toni’s words: “TJ makes up stories, sometimes”. And in his own words to Ann Eiffel…. "You can’t con a con …..

    Frank and Nancy are increasing the value of the warehouse dramatically, and they wisely will insure it to the max. After the next kablooie, they’ll make a profit.

    Isn’t the warehouse already clean enough without continuing to work at it? After all, they are just going to tear up the building’s interior again right away, doing all the repairs and remodeling. Once you’ve hauled out all the trash, that’s clean enough for now. Save the detailed cleaning for after the carpentry, plumbing, wiring, drywall, painting, paneling, etc. I hope we won’t have another week of this story arc. Even Luann bailed on it.

    Cafe Kablooie is a good idea I think. This should be a nice combination of all the talents and attributes of the characters in the strip. I just wonder if Quill can be persuaded to stay at the theater that is planned, or will he go back to New York, and perhaps with Prudence?

    I’m astounded that Brad either 1) didn’t tell his parents about his suspicions concerning the food truck, or 2) his parents did hear Brad’s story but went ahead and put their own time and money into this project anyway.

    When TJ gets bored with the theatre and torches it, he’s going to be submitting his second insurance claim, this one for a business called “Kafe Kablooie”. Really?

    Only in the Luanniverse could people be so blissfully unaware of the likely consequences of horrible judgement, and only in the Luanniverse would insurance companies, the police, etc., exist only to do what the story requires.

    You’re right, he only hurts other people. I mean, look what he did after Brad got fired from Weenie World, went and got a minimum wage job just to get “revenge” on Ann Eiffel.

    Since most customers are not likely to have any idea what the name references, Frank’s objection to “Kafe Kablooie” is not valid—unless, of course, the overwhelming majority of customers come from the same tight-knit circle of Luann characters. In that case, the cafe will probably be a business failure. So the issue is moot.

    Now hold on thar Buckaroo – it has been suggested in these parts that Frank and Nancy are headed for splitsville. So maybe the big plan is for this joint to symbolize their blown up marriage. “From matrimony to acrimony, it’s Kafe Kablooie!”Then Frank goes for Tiff and Ox goes for Nancy. Now THAT’s plausibility. I’ll run it by team Evans.

    Yeah, right. How do we know someone was NOT right there watching him? Because we can’t see 360 degrees around in the third panel. TJ is a fool; even if he IS innocent he’s a FOOL to be talking about it like this in front of his investors.

    Just noticed that Indy car driver, Justin Wilson died a few minutes ago from a head injury sustained in yesterday’s race at Pokono. At 200 miles per hour, an open cockpit is not the place to be when things start flying.
