Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 06, 2017

And curiously enough, Emo isn’t blowing bubbles anymore. As the commercials say, “Thanks, Captain Obvious!”

I’m with Jack on this one.

Jack scores points with Luann with that one.

This may be the first intelligent thing that Jack ever said.

I’m liking Jock more and more!! He knocked the teacher right down! Reminds me of a video I dsaw where an animal smeared paint on a canvas. They took it to art critics who oohed and aahed over. Until they were told who/what the “artist” was!!

MIght it actually be a piece of gum carelessly stuck on the wall; Nil with his little smirk? Also the smile of Luann’s at the humor in Jack’s observation. If it is a piece of gum, how is Professor Pretentious (although I don’t really think he is that bad) going to react? Questions, questions. Funny, and a lot more in Luannverse. Those who wondered where Luann went, well here she is.

Nil can come back later and sign his work.

Nil’s almost smiling!

Class? Any other thoughts? Certainly. Here are few:

1.Why do you wear a bowtie and have a handkerchief in your pocket and they don’t match in colour?

2.How do you get your moustache to move around on your face like that? One moment, it’s under your nose and the other it’s crawling towards the right side of your face.

3.Did anyone ever tell you that you don’t wear your belt on the outside of your suit coat? It goes around your pants.

4.Why do you always have one hand behind your back? Are you scratching something back there?

5.What is it with you and alliteration?

I am really getting a kick out of the Emo character. He should have stuck his gum on Zebo’s head.

I think Evans has an issue with art teachers.

Why couldn’t it be both?

Zebo’s an idiot. His character is worthless, as well. Either his brains have fallen out, or they’re made of mush.

If Zebo isn’t the reference standard for the Art world, I don’t know who is.

I sure am glad to see that today, people are having some light-hearted fun by “judging” some of these cartoon characters as they see fit. Zebo seems to be the latest target.

Yesterday, it seems that a plethora of liberal social engineers were bent on telling us how wrong it is to judge anyone for any reason – even a cartoon character.

Personally, I think it’s always OK to judge a cartoon character, because no harm is done. And if more info comes out on them, one might just change one’s judgment. That’s part of the entertainment.

And as for real life: If six decades of “non-judgmentalism” were serving our culture well, we would not be seeing the massive social changes currently underway, both in the US and in Europe. Of course, anyone is free to disagree with these movements. But if they do, they are judging the movements, as well as the people who spearhead them. It’s always been this way. True non-judgmentalism is a mirage.

Now I’ll get out of the way and let the judgments fly. Gee, this is lots of fun!

“….And could be, like… anyone? … Like, maybe, possibly, someone just like us?… Even, for example, let’s say, and sorta ‘throwin darts’ here, but……someone potentially, possibly who was just like us? Even, if it were someone maybe…similar to someone right…behind… me? "

Yeah, I keep picturing Jack with a sorta “Patrick Warburton”-ish voice…

At least he stuck it on the wall and not right on the painting, like some kid did at an art museum in Michigan.

If it doesn´t have a plaque with information it isn´t a piece.

Art is whatever the beholder deems it to be. This guy would make a good wine salesman.

I wondered where I left it. Now I not only find it but also glean that I am a great artist as well.

“And the genius in it is, he knew exactly where to stick the gum to make a universal statement!”

Wow Luann really looks traumatized by being interrupted and manhandleed 2 econds ago

you troglodytes know nothing about art. That “piece of gum stuck on the wall” is PERFORMANCE ART people…oh when will they ever learn? I’m with the Professor on this one.

Why, yes… yes it could.

@SukieCrandall,and @ JAYBLUE Guy Lombardo, eh? Interesting. My late friend Carmine C D’Amico was a guitarist who worked with s lot of people as a session player, also was the featured classical guitarist on Bernstein’s MASS, he was in the ROYAL TEENS co wrote, as he put it that crappy tune that let him pay for college, SHORT SHORTS. He was featured in THE GODFATHER as the wedding band leader and guitarist, was on the theme song to CHEERS, played with Mel Torme, Liza Minelli, Ed Ames, played guitar on ‘A Fifth of Beethoven’ was the guitarist on the original ’Law And Order" theme( not the spinnoffs) George Benson, but the biggest thing was playing lead guitar on the BEE GEES songs from Saturday Night Fever. He died in 2009 after relocating to LAs Vegas, working the shows and writing jazz.

I love Nil’s sense of humor! He does dance right on the edge, but when that character gets it right, he gets it so very, very right. He must be a very challenging but fun character to write. Certainly, he is great fun to read and try to anticipate. So often his wheels are quietly turning.

Nil makes the joke (and meant to) … Jack points out the joke (and gets it, I think) … and Luann appreciates the joke (and perhaps Jack?) …

Not sure if Luann’s smile is approval or embarrassment. Everybody knows it’s a wad of gum on the wall.

A wish GUARANTEED to come true for all here (and our refections in characters): May your life always provide something new to learn.

Now, what did Zebo learn today?

I have heard similar stuff. You should have heard how Robert Mapplethorpe’s photo work was described. The fellow with his had up the other fellow’s rectum was most strangely described in that same tone…

Bazinga! Got you, you pretentious, snobbish, pseudo-intellectual poser. If you’re so great, why are you teaching at a community college?

At least we’re back to centering on Luann again. As for Jack, so he plays the field? He’s what, 20 years old at most? People get married later today, thank goodness. It’s time Luann stopped looking for the great love of her life, and just relax and have some fun.

After weeks of the heavy duty Piro-Bernice saga, I think the Evans’ wanted to do something light hearted… Jack’s testosterone laden jockish interpretation (of the painting) which Luann deliberately countered with the feminine analysis… playful mocking… the hand holding was nothing (the way I see it) just Jack’s attempt to get Luann away from the painting and the interpretation that he couldn’t bear to think about… and more playful mocking (on Luann’s part) today.

So you think Jack will invite Luann on another outing?

ROFL…perfect in every way!

Cute setup of the gag by the Evanses over last couple of days.

Unfortunately, all this high-falutin’ artsy-fartsy talk isn’t going to do Luann much good when she finally gets her job teaching art to pre-schoolers.

If Jack’s comment on the gum is as smart as he gets – it’ll be time to move on pretty soon.

Was Zebo talking about a Flux Capacitor?

Egad! I may be losing my mind! Prof. Zébo’s critique of the wad of Nil’s gum seemed cogent and fitting to me….

The lad has something in his head, and it’s neither muscles nor pumpkin seeds.

“And, on this painting, the spot on the canvas represents Man’s wrestling with Isolation and Alienation.”Then the ‘spot’ flies away.
