Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 08, 2017

Cute :)

how intimate

This lends a whole new definition to “Comic Strip”…

We never did find out what happened to the break room TV …

@ANYFACE: And right now, we don’t care…

What an interesting way to play strip poker. On Luann!!! Oh my blush.

Nancy and Frank will drop by for a visit.

It’s been obvious for some months that Toni is very much in love with Brad. There’s nothing one-sided about their love. But recently, it’s also becoming obvious that Toni has a strong libido and is quite hot to trot, not shy about taking initiative. It would seem that Mr. Brad is quite a luck man.

Doesn’t everyone do this?

Brad seems to want to speed up the game…

Aw Come ON, you two Love Monkeys. “Budget Discussions” can WAIT…..,

We’re watching the pot – but it’s not going to boil. A knock knock – or another arc…

Would taking out both sock and shoes consider as fourplay?

For some reason, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip, though I’m sure this will turn into a strip tease.

Yes, how many days do you think this will run? Bets on 3.

On Sunday, we will cut to a scene from “Old Yeller”

Impressive.

knock……knock……knock…..

Please, don’t let this comic go from “G”-rated to “X”.

I like where this is heading..

Hmm, and its only Wednesday…

Finally. Some reality. Think Greg’s taking a page from Jimmy Johnson’s Arlo and Janis?

Nothing I say right now would be appropriate.

I think my parents had the same picture hanging on the wall.

I like the way Brad thinks.

Clever way to work quickly through the budget Toni.

I suspect Brad will soon wish they hadn’t dressed in layers for the winter!

This scenario never happens. C’mon Greg.

“Our Budget”? Really? A. They have one less household then they had last month, yet the same combined income. B. It’s Brad’s parents’ house. I doubt they have a payment.

People , they ARE trying to also save for the future. Of course they are budgetting.

Such nitpicking !!!!!!! C’mon people, enjoy the comic strip!!!! It’s NOT that hard.

In addition to budgeting for things such as rent, food, electricity, car payments and insurance, firefighters usually have to take continuing education classes in such things as handling hazardous materials. Not all employers will pay for those classes, although most employers will require them as a condition of remaining employed. For those who are paramedics, there are additional continuing education requirements to stay certified. Uniforms can also be an expense that an employer may not cover, or may only partly cover..

The expenses of firefighters who are asked to work outside their assigned jurisdictions during emergencies are also not always covered by an employer or reimbursed by an employer. These can be tax deductible, but you have to pay for them first. So some firefighters may have an ‘emergency fund’ that they set aside, just in case.

If they were actually serious they would have started with shirts or pants. Ultimately, they won’t do anything. The writers here strange ideas about intimacy

Hey! Sitting there with reduced clothing and catching a cold is the wrong way to go about spending your vacations in bed! ;s

They should take advantage of the privacy while they have it. They can always work on the budget later whenever who drops by is there.

@GERMANSHEPHERDS4EVER: What’s all this barking about? Do you need to go back to obedience school? Maybe you should spend some time with your cousin Poncho…

@ANNIE K: “Sitting there with reduced clothing and catching a cold is the wrong way to go about spending your vacations in bed!”

…

When they get to bed, they can regenerate some of that lost warmth. *See Bill Nye’s book, “Fun With Friction”, chapter 7.

Pinch-hitting for JayBluE:

“I Nude This Would Happen”

“Poker-Faced”

“Sighs Matters”

“Love Candles”

“The Budget List”

“Love On A Budget”

“Is This Strip Necessary?”

“Loaded For Bare”

“The Right To Bare Arms..And Legs”

Clothes is one word.

This is one of the most enjoyed Luann strips in quite a while. The number of comments demonstrates that fact.

Budget decisions double strip poker is a win-win

@TYGE: Just wait till we get to the end of the week. I suspect it will end with several panels all in black with a few balloons.

.

I mean, word balloons.

@BRDSHTT: I’m sure you meant word balloons. And it’s just a coincidence that the reruns in Doonesbury are looking for space for a boutique for a certain product, and they want the boutique to be located in Trump Towers…

For me, I hope for Shannon or some other issue, distraction, or burden comes along to keep visible (to the comic audience) displays of their “passions” off the table. I like comedic payoff, and am hoping Luann does not become the next 9 Chickweed Lane. Now before folks here start suggesting I am a “prude” or worse…. I am not a prude…. I just happen to like Luann, the comic strip, as a family-focused strip…. which it has always been.

.

For me personally, I do not need to see Brad and Toni drawn to be "passionate"…. I can easily imagine on my own what they “do” behind the scenes when Greg’s pencil is not making them visible to us.

.

While I will accept (of course) whatever Greg chooses to do here…. I for one am rooting for comedic payoff instead of the oft spoken by many here to see their “passions”.

Brad wants to get to the part about discretionary income.

@PIPE TOBACCO : “For me, I hope for Shannon or some other issue, distraction, or burden comes along to keep visible displays of their “passions” off the table. ,,,Now before folks here start suggesting I am a “prude” or worse….”

…

Naw, if you are talking about Brad and Toni having passions on the table, I would hardly think you are a prude. I never would have thought about raking everything off the table and

Flash Gordon you probably right

Bathtub and candles? Is that how Greg thinks everybody does it?

Greg – You may have something here!

Toni is being very cruel to Brad. Doesn’t she realize that he can’t concentrate on anything but her at this moment? Budget. You got to be kidding me.

Couple fun!

I could watch this all night! (Should I feel guilty about that?)

@SISYPHOS: “I could watch this all night!”

…

In the 1979 movie, “Being There”, Chauncey Gardiner (Chance, the gardener) said, “I like to watch…”

There’s software for that: Quicken My Pulse, You Nude A Budget, and Mount.com

I’m glad their house isn’t drafty!

Truncated Spoiler Alert: Things are unzipping along rather nicely until someone stumbles upon an inequity.

Hint: It’s not “Why do you have one of those and I have one of these?”
