This is the very first time that any reference to relationships has come up between Luann and Tara.
This may lead quickly to Tara saying something that discloses whether or not she’s into guys. Either way, it should be of considerable interest, because it will answer lots of questions.
I truly think this lesbian wonderment about two young women talking about underwear is totally misplaced, and that is being nice about, and not being nice displays an unhealthy obsession with young women being interested intimately with each other any time they talk or even talk about any subject that is not “about guys”. Give yourselves a break, women don’t need to talk about guys all the time. Besides getting past that silliness the tie-in to the lingerie parties (there was some room left for there being more than one at the Fuse) with Ann and Les, and potentially with the Fuse, and all the characters involved with it is totally intriguing. To me, and I always admit with Luannverse I could be all wrong, that is where this is going not some ridiculous obsession with female gay sex.
I rather hope this IS flirtation and Tara makes a pass at Luann, if only for the sake of relieving boredom. I swear, either nothing HAPPENS in this strip, or we see weeks building to some big event that goes nowhere or is over in a blink. I say mix it up a bit! I’d be very curious to see how Luann handles it. Either way, I hope they stay friends because Tara is the most likeable character I’ve seen in a while.
Well for luann to showcase lingerie to a boyfriend, she has to have s boyfriend and enough privacy TO showcase it. Whenever she gets any private time with a boy, someone interrupts with a major issue.
I think the purpose of Ann’s “party” is to sell it. Most lingerie is bought by women; they have to buy it somewhere. I doubt there was anything but “window shopping” in the bars back in the day.
This is just normal girl talk about random things. Some of my female friends and current or past GF had chats like this and I felt strange at first listening but after bit. Its normal, its a personal understanding where friends are in their personal life. It doesn’t matter what the topic. As for Luann personal life and Tara sexual life. You can see Luann as normal regular nothing fancy, but have one sexy under garments. You can say her sexual life is as a virgin life style, as for Tara who admits going commando. She very comfortable with her behavior life style. As to where this is going. Again just an insight of life style between two people about life and sex.
This strip is the kind of girl-talk Luann used to have with Bernice. Bernice as BFF has been relegated to the Sunday strip lately. Is some sort of sea change being signaled here?
@JAYBLUE FROM YESTERDAY :Hey Jay, I may have to get rid of the Convict Cichlids after all. They’ve been pestering the mollies too much. The wife would rather have Angel Fish anyway.
Actually, Tara (who seems to bat both sides of the plate) is preparing her move on Luanne, but she will discover that Luanne wears BCPs (Big Cotton Panties), a Known Turnoff.For some. But not me.It’s gonna be an interesting matchup: Tara the Commando vs Luanne the Good Girl.
All of the posters here talking about “Granny Panties,” or “Big Cotton Panties” must be male, cause women know that Hanes and Fruit of the Loom both sell nylon panties in pretty colors and or patterns, as well as different styles. There are high cut, low riders, (used to be called hip huggers) bikini and even thong. And all of these are available in a basic six pack.
Maybe the one pair Lu is talking about was a special purchase from Fredericks of Hollywood or something. They may be very scanty, possibly even see thru. ;D
Just seems like they are bonding a little, and enjoying some companionship. Any sexuality is being pressure-pumped in by frustrated males. Get out more, ask a real woman for a date, and throw that blow-up doll in the dumpster!
It seems like mostly older men comment on this strip. Do any females who comment think Luann and Tara are flirting? I’m female and they are NOT flirting.
Hey, Luann- here’s an idea: wear your racy lacy scanty panties to the locker room when Tiffany is around. I’m sure she’d like to post an update to your Whinnie-The-Poo panties!
I agree with the $84 “insane” comment from Tara. I also agree with the prudence of Luann having simple “Hanes 6-pack”.
From my manner of thinking, if I am looking at a female in her underwear, the clean, well fitting look of plain, white underwear is plenty “sexy” to me, perhaps more so than some of the elaborate (either in skimpiness, or “fru-fru-ness”, or expense) forms of “lingerie”.
Now, that said, the only underwear I actually see is on my wife, and it has always been wonderfully invigorating and pleasant, especially when they are removed. :)
I guess what I am saying is that the more elaborate “lingerie” items seem superfluous and unnecessary….. unless the woman actually enjoys them for herself.
So no one else has seen them, eh? I always wondered just how far Luann and Quill went in the storage closet that one time. As for Luann and Tara flirting, possibly, but I doubt it. If Greg wants the “college girl lesbian experiment” story arch he’d be better off with Luann and Pru who are already good friends. Or Bernice and Dez, though I do not see that happening. I think Tara is just very lonely and needs a friend and Luann is the sort to make friends with everyone.
Has Bernie been replaced as go-to BFF? I don’t think Tara is ready for that job yet (though she could become so in the future). But I do think that Bernice, as currently written, has outlived her usefulness and is just a curmudgeonly drag on the strip and on Luann in particular. I would not mind her part being diminished….
As a female and a former college girl, this is very normal conversation between women. I can’t see how those old guys in here derive from this as a lesbian conversation or flirting. My guess is that could be chalked up as a male fantasy. While the guys talk about who banged who, brag about the number of notches on their bedposts, and how good they are, girls do talk about sex, but in a different way than the guys do. Lingerie is a very end of the spectrum of sex talk. And in the 4th panel, we can safely derive that Luann hasn’t gone home plate yet.

Ha, Luann is “Fooling” NOBODY!
She’s Saving those “Lacy, Racy, Scanty, Panties” for Gunther.
And it’s slowly gonna “Dawn” on Her that SHE was among Those that Shoved HIM in Tiff’s Direction, and that HE is not Back, Yet from HER place.
Be Sure to Stay Tuned, when Luann has Her “What the Hell Have I DONE?” Moment.
