Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 26, 2018

sacré bleu, Sheraton Saint-Louis est un incroyable!

Wow…Ann was so condescending to Tiff…UNTIL! Yep, she’s got her by the throat now!!!

Bluff called … except the bluffer wasn’t bluffing!

The next part will probably be Tiff giving Simone her REAL name…

So teenage Tiffany has a personal relationship with the CEO of a Parisian lingerie company, who answers her own phone with the name of her company. This may be a pretend call.

I have to change my prediction.

Remember today’s “dit.”

Tiffany has Souffle on speed dial.

Ann’s last defense may be to tell Sheraton St. Louis that she’ll call her boyfriend, a Mr. Farrell, who has “high powered connections.”

Tiffany says, “Don’t bother getting your phone.”

‘dit.’

“I have him on my phone, though I almost never call him Mr. Farrell.

“It’s usually:

•●✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ✿●• DADDY •●✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ✿●•

I hope Mr. Farrell rescues Ann. This fight is too one sided so far – and Tiffany’s motives are not that clean.

Keep the phone closer.

Checkmate, Ann Effel!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you keeping score at home, that’s Zane, TJ and Tiffany: 3, Ann: 0.

Paris France is 9 hours ahead of California.

Okay Tiffany, My Delectable, Adorable, Voluptuous, “Cheerleader for Justice!” Your just showing off now! Finish Off Yonder Venomous “She Snake” Quickly, and Utter Your Fearsome Victory Yell, to establish beyond ANY doubt “WHO” is now the Real “Queen of the Urban Jungle!”

Then, You can devote your energies to weighty task of figuring out how to get OUT of Your ill-advised “promise of friendship” to the defeated She Snake’s equally Loathsome “son.”

#STOPTHEVIOLENCEEXCEPTWHENITCOMESTOLES

Tiff has Ann by the balls now. If Ann would not have taken to this extreme Ann would not be behind the eight ball.

Wouldn’t you know it Tiffany has Soufflé Lingerie CEO on speed dial.

Wow Sheraton, waiting for Anne to blink! And so are we! Anne should look good in pinstripes!

I am very recently following this comic strip, so padon my ignorance. Is Tiffany’s mother alive, and if so is there any chance she is Simone?

Eating crow. I was sure there would be a cut-away today, with Saturday being the cliffhanger. Oh, well. Shannon, Brad, and Toni for another day!

This is great to watch.

Bravo, Tiff! It’s great to see Ann being thwarted at each step. And I love her oh-so-cool “I can do this in my sleep” expression while she’s decimating the devious Ms. Eiffel!

Tiff and her random connections – talk about a deus ex machina!

C’est merveilleux. Tellement mieux que je l’espérais. Translation: “Wonderful. So much better than I had hoped for”.

Could be Dez on the other end, having picked up French in her globe-trotting.

Remember you’re a minor recurring character, Ann – quit while you’re behind…

Oh,merde.

I realize it could all be a reverse con by Tiffany perpetrated on Ann like the famous cons in the Robert Redford, and Paul Newman movie, The Sting. Con, the con men, or in this case, as in that movie, con someone who really, really deserves to be conned. I don’t think it’s a con by Tiffany however, I bet she knows Simone, and Souffle really well. She is the poor, little, misunderstood and lonely rich girl, who goes to Europe and Paris, all the time, after all. So far all the body blows are being thrown by Tiffany, now we just have to wait for the straight right-hand to the head, delivering the knockout blow.

Ann needs to do Tiff can get her sexy body back and out of her depression who knows maybe Lex and Tiff will get together and do good things.

I could be wrong, but I have a good gut feeling that the call recipient is, in fact, legit… that it is someone at Souffle… maybe the CEO’s admin. It’s quite possible that Tiff may know the CEO from a long time ago (perhaps, when Souffle was just starting). Also, I like the idea mentioned above about revealing her identity as Tiff at this point to get Ann away from Mr. Farrell.

Anyway, Tiff, keep a tight grip on that phone, and put that list away so that neither can be snatched from you. And get this done quickly!

Any bets Tiffany starts speaking French?

Another thought on whether or not Tiff should reveal her identity on this phone call. If she’s known the CEO for such a long time (perhaps even as a child), then it’s quite possible that the CEO has a “nickname” for Tiff that Tiff could use to get access to that CEO. Using that would negate the requirement to say Tifffany. Of course, it could backfire the moment the CEO gets on the phone and says, “Tiff, mon cheri / ma cherie…” Hopefully not…

I mean, if we’re talking “Deus ex Machina” moments….. :D

If Tiff knows Simone, it would be through her father. Who therefore also knows Simone. And is Ann’s boyfriend.

I still think this whole storyline is ludicrous — but I’m really enjoying the new Tiffany character. TJ with a conscience.

Anyone answering a phone in Paris would be speaking French-Tiff should be speaking French to really impress Ann.

So Tiff resorts to blackmail to make Ann go away? Weak. Tiff just doesn’t have the sense for going for the jugular, does she? CALL THE COPS and end this.

Even though Ann is evil type woman, but she sure has a hot body. Any rich or poor bastard would fall for her.

Tiff keeps getting upgraded.

You go, girl!!

I see this as the transformation of Tiffany Farrell from insecure spoiled teen to self assured purposeful adult. I sure hope I’m correct, as if she loses weight and reverts to her former self I’ll be quite disappointed!!

Son canard est en feu!

Impressive, Tiff…most impressive.

beware the cornered animal.

If Les is seen tomorrow, we may go another week.

If Les is not seen tomorrow, he may be outside, listening to the conversation via headphones.

When Tiff answers the phone and says who she is, Ann may faint realizing she is her rich boyfriend’s daughter.

I want to know how she dials on that smart phone while wearing gloves.

Don’t be mad at Tiffany reaching Paris, Ann!

“You can blame ‘Ma Beh-ehhh-ellllll’, blame ’Ma Bell!…..” (♪)

Wait wait wait — supposing Tiffany does really know the CEO, doesn’t she need to introduce herself using her real name? don’t that blow her cover?

“St. Louis, To Paris”

“Linkin’ Continental”

“You Had A Lack, Which Made Me Beam, More!”

“With The Truth, She’ll Dodge, And She Bends…”

“The Proof Is In The ‘Puttin’ Her On The Phone”

“Ol’ Simone, She Had A Phone….C.-E., C..E.O.!”

“Go, Speed Tracer!  Go, Speed Tracer, Go!”  (♪)

“$5’ll Getcha 10 Minutes!”

“Could You Be A Little More Pacific, Please!?”

“Around The World, In 80 Time Zones”

“Game Of Knowns”

“Sheraton, And Share Alike!”

“Je T’ai Dit De Pas Broncher….Voulez Vous?”

“Passes Tu Une Bonne Journée?”

“It’s 10 O’Clock!  Do You Know Where Your Chill’s At?”

“Sheraton, And Share Alike!”

“Miss Farrel’s Neighborhood”

“Swimming In The Bluff”

or

“I Feel The Need, The Need For Speed Dial!”

Erase her, Tiffany!

The phone call would be more impressive if “bonjour” was spelled the French way, as a single word.

I did not like TJ’s sadistic “revenge” on Ann at Weenie World. I hope this arc does not end similarly. I would enjoy it if Tiffany’s dad really likes Ann. Tiff does not need to keep repeating all the expensive trips and goodies with dad. Tiff needs to start her own adult life.

“St. Louis? No Mavin Johnson…”

“Linkin’ Logs or Linkin’ Park”

“You Had Some Smack, Which Made Me Scream, More! More! More!”

“With The Tooth, She’ll Stooge, And She Bends OVER…”

“The Spoof Is In The ‘Puttin’ Her On The Bone! BOOM! Right in the kisser!”

“Ol’ Sick Moan, She Had A Throne….C.-E., C..E.O.! what the heck are you talking about?”

“Go, Speed Tracer! Go, Speed Tracer, Go!” This one is just plain moronic (♪)

“$5’ll Getcha 10 Minutes! Getcha a big BOOM right in the kisser!!! Book Kak Eh?”

“Could You Be A Little More Pacific, Please!? HAR HAR HAR! Hyuk Hyuk. Derp.”

“Around The World, In 80 Time Zones” PLEASE just stop. PLEASE.

“Game Of Knowns” Again, see above.

“Sheraton, And Share Alike!” Huh?

“Je T’ai Dit De Pas Broncher….Voulez Vous?” Ok, sure.

“Passes Tu Une Bonne Journée?” Ok, sure II

“It’s 10 O’Clock! Do You Know Where Your Chill’s At?” In the porcelain bowl??

“Sheraton, And Share Alike!” You said this one. Do you write them then cut and paste or use some program?

“Miss Farrel’s Neighborhood” Stretch. HUGE stretch. Awful.

“Swimming In The Bluff” My god, worse than my father. Did not know it was possible

or

“I Feel The Need, The Need For Speed Dial!” Why? WHy? THis has NOTHING to that movie. NOTHING at all. Weak. So weak. Sad, actually.

The question of Tiffany’s mom….she’s not there, not unlike most of the other parents in this strip, so its not a factor….yet. In my mind, her father, “No Name” Farrell is a rich, businessman/playboy who went to Las Vegas where Mr. Gray, the casino manager, fixed him up with a beautiful showgirl for a one night stand, resulting in Tiffany. Daddy, being a responsible person, took care of the showgirl financially, and after Tiff was born, he took Tiffany home and paid off the showgirl. Only Mr. Gray knows the whole story, so Mr. Farrell has to treat his sister, Ann very carefully. Or…..Mr. Gray may send for the aging showgirl.

If Ann was legit she would not have refunded the money so fast. She already admitted to Tiff that she is not legit.

The only way that Ann can hurt Tiff now would be for her to turn Daddy Farrell against her. At this point he just ignores her.

If Tiffany wins a big victory here – maybe she will gain confidence and start a life not needing Daddy’s cruises anymore. Maybe Tiff would have enough confidence to hit on Gunther. That’s the only way it can happen with Gunther.

Could it be that, when Tiffany is connected, she simply says “Hi, Mom?”

Is Ann finally about to become a believer? Go Tiffany!

now THAT would be a really interesting plot point!

remember the end game here, from Tiffany’s viewpoint, isn’t the lingerie money.

Ann will finally face the consequence of trying to bully and bluff someone with a Royal Flush and All HEARTs.

This is OT but too important to not share. It is from a concert by students of Stoneman Douglas and it made me cry:

Has no one noticed that Ann now says she’s legit, but admitted she’s not by paying Tiffany on February 21st?

Wow, would Tiffany speak French? Not that the Souffle staff can’t speak English.

And the souffle has hit the fan!! … Or has hit the Ann!! … or whatever! Well, you know!! :)

Maybe Tiff will identify herself to Souffle as Tiffany Farrell, taking Ann further by surprise, as she realizes just who Sheraton Saint-Louis really is.

—And whom do you have on speed dial, Ann?

The Tiffster Triumphant! Your Souffle has fallen, Ms. Eiffel-no-tower!

Tune in tomorrow for our next action packed episode:

Is Paris Discerning?

or

No Peace with Dit Taunt!

Its Hammer time!!

Will Ann talk to the “fake” Simone on Tiffany’s phone, discovering she’s the real thing? Toon in tomorrow!!

Ann Eiffel is the only comic strip character I know of that constantly struts about with breasts akimbo.

Les is not seen today.

He went to the next-door strip, In Security, to borrow something.

When Ann races to her car, there will be a monkey in the driver’s seat.

Oh well…..

Maybe tomorrow we reach 400
