Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 03, 2018

She’ll really go for the half-shaven look.

oh, crud… Tiffany arrived just as the boys’ fight begins

Run away! Run away!

I don’t know why, but this one made me laugh out loud because the boys are acting like such five year olds.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to see Gunther removing even a part of that stubble face he got from South America that turned him so mean and cranky all those months ago.

Poor Gunth and Les don’t seem to know that stubble is in…

Now, “WHO” could that be at the door I wonder?

Tiffany? If so, she’s early and I wonder “why?” Or maybe that isn’t Tiff at the door.

Locake suggested yesterday that Al and Irma show up and they STAY, even after Tiffany arrives. A sort of repeat of year’s Berger Family dinner. I think Lo might be right. Tiffany liked Irma and thought that Al is (BARF) “cuddly.”

But, for Me? Please God, let that be Ann Eiffel and Tom Farrell at the door. I’ve about had all I can take of that slimeball Knox this Story Arc and I’m dying to see him made uncomfortable for a change.

Yeah, I know. FAT chance…..

Tiarella_Clark: If you’re checking in at all: hope things are going well with you! I think I can safely say – we miss you!

This could go very wrong very quickly. ✨

Who will be at the door first the half-shaven Gunther or the stud Les!!!

As a Cubbie fan let me get this off my chest: WAAAUGGHH! Congratulations Rockies. Okay, a little better now. Fighting over testosterone driven male things, stubby hair being the proximate cause of a possible rumble at the Gulag (per MD, the Intelligensia coffee mate). Lets see tomorrow will it be Tiffany, or some one(s) else completely. Guys can’t you wait to fight over her at least? And what makes it so bad is that I feels the odds are 98% she is not ready for any kind of romantic relationship, but 99% certain that having male friends is important to her.

They must be boring that poor shaver. It keeps snoring zzzzz’s.

Gunther needs to shave off the right side of his facial stubble, his left eyebrow, and a reverse Mohawk on top. Yep, that should do it. That just drives women crazy. Doesn’t attract them, just drives them crazy. Might even drive them away…

Together THEY have… nothing but empty attitude!

@AnyFace: This whole thing went wrong a while ago…

Les certainly is a Legend in his Own Mind. And what happened to his little pointy beard? I don’t see it in the last panel.

Why don’t they all sit down to dinner and dessert together and let the games begin?

“It Must Be 5 O’Clock Somewhere On My Face”

“Their Shares Crash”

“It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Room”

“There’s A Ding-Dong At The Door….And They Rang The Bell…. "

“You Make Me Bic!”

“Aye! There’s The Stubble!”

“It Just Shaves Us The Trouble, In The Long Run”

“These Show-Buzz Types Are All Alike!”

“Not By The One Hair On My Chin-ny Chin Chin!”

“1 Scotch Tape, 1 Burden, 1 Beard” (♬)

or

“The Worst A Man Can Get”

Very sad – Gunther no longer has any handle on who he is. One jab from Les, and Gunther desperately attempts to be someone else.

Whatever happened to Luann? Seems she only appears on Sundays. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sick of obnoxious, irritating Les. He’s a minor character that’s taken over. Bring back Tony and Brad. Been so long since we’ve seen them that heir house must be totally redone. They’ve had two kids, and Shannon is leaving for college.

And here’s Tif. With boyfriend.

Saved by the bell?

We are assuming it is Tiffany at the door, but it may very well be the new Mrs Gray and hubby, possibly with Tiff in tow. Luckily dinner is made and they can all sit down to a Family of 5 meal. Gunther’s mom wouldn’t come empty handed so there will be dessert and it won’t be Les, thank God.

Why are they both in the bathroom at the same time? If they were in a gym locker room or a barracks I could see it, but in their own place? That’s why bathroom doors usually have locks, so a person can have some privacy when they need it.

Oh no! Gunther, what have you done??? Tiffany loved your beard!

If Tiffany was trying to provoke a catfight between Gunther and Les, her plan worked out perfectly!

One more thing. If that is indeed Irma and Al the door and they stay for dinner, where are they going to sit? In two beanbag chairs? If Irma doesn’t have a STROKE now that Gunther has sold all of their furniture thanks to that jackass Le$, the dinner may be moved to new Berger/Gray residence. The last time they all had dinner together, Gunther was miserable. Is it Le$’ turn this time? Or will both lads be glum?

It’s about time – Les being arrogant is getting old…

Is Tiffany early? or is there about to be a surprise visitor?

Probably the guy who’s going to take Tiff out, looking for her. Or Irma and Hitch.The more they fight, the bigger I know the letdown is going to be. Neither one is ready to show Tiff a good time. Tiff though, is ready to surprise them

I’m just waiting for them to lose control of the razor and someone to lose his sideburns or half a head of hair. That will look attractive. Actually, if I were writing it, they’d each end up with a noticeable razor mishap.

Watching Curley and Squirrelly is dealing with the unappealing. Hope we can move out of the bathroom, soon.

Two alleged grown up men in their late teen-early twenties, and, only one electric razor between them? What Gunther doesn’t have a regular razor, and, shave cream in his kit from when he went to Peru?

NEVER! NEVER… shave in anger! NEVER!

I think we will be surprised as well!

Hey, maybe these two knobs will actually murder each other over the electric shaver, and we can all be shut of this entire storyline. A pitch-dark turn for the strip, admittedly, but fess up: you wouldn’t be THAT torn up, now would you?

Then we could get back to stories about “adult woman who is supposed to be—what, 20 years old at this point?—titters obsessively about maybe holding hands with a cute boy someday.”

Okay, so maybe that “these-two-zeroes-just-kill-each-other” idea isn’t so hot.

Do they share a toothbrush as well?

Shaved by the bell.

For Whom The Bell Tolls.

“Come out fighting at the sound of the bell.” (buzzer?)

And now a rendition of “Fist City”

“A better beard and manlier fellow never [censored] against a wall”

That was a close shave.

..and more clichés to follow…

As I recall all the Pittsville gals swooned over Gunther’s new look when he 1st returned from his wandering ways. Maybe is was the Latin accent he picked up?

Thank you Psychic Fern for a long-overdue laugh from this comic strip.

Meanwhile dinner is merrily burning away! If they don’t exit the “john” to a smoke filled house, I’ll be surprised.

“Children. Children. Behave. Oooh, sexy partial stubble…”

IF he stays as is, his best line to Tiff is, “Uhh, I lost a big bet!”

I’m having a hard time figuring out whose face is more punchable: Les’s smug smirk in the first panel, or Gunther’s Petulant Tantrum Face in the third one.

Who is this Gunther? Whatever happened to the cheerful and friendly Gunther that we have known for 30 years?

With all the characters and potential story lines in this strip, why do some stories drag out needlessly? Just wondering.

I reality, Les has always looked like an unhygenic greaseball, and Gunther a pocket protecting nerd.

Who cares? Gunther is gay. The first hint is that his name starts with G.

@old_timey_rude: Hadn’t seen you in awhile, thought you left. Guess not…

Does Tiff even know she’s on a date? Or two? She is probably having dinner with Gunth and Dork Vader at their house. From 6 to 8.

Oooooh, it’s on now peeps…

What is it with the unshaven look, anyway?! Either shave or have a beard.

Finally, he get rid of those stubbles!

It was made popular in the 80s by Miami Vice stars. It has since been replaced by the ManBun. ; )

On Tonight’s Episode, we introduce Half-Bearded Man

Ship these two losers to the comic, La Cucaracha, then build that wall.

Maybe it’s a process server there to subpoena Les to a court case involving his Mom. Then Tiff shows up and she gets a subpoena too. Gunther and his dinner remain at home.

I’m hard pressed to think of a character in this strip who I would be more worried about sharing a personal grooming device with than Les….

If that’s Tiffany, why is Les still there? Wasn’t he supposed to be gone?

And their off!

Just two wild and crazy guys!! Inviting hot chicks to their swinging bachelor pad …! Let’s Swing!!!

@Chopped Fowl: Steve Martin, and I forget who the other guy was….

I wonder what Gunther’s left hand is doing?

It’s Gunther’s new “Fashion Statement”.

Can’t blame it all on that

seems far too easy to bait Gunther into doing something.

Hey you two ding dongs! Answer the other ding dong (aka doorbell)!

Look at it this way; at least Gunther now realizes that stubble is dumb.

Uh-oh. Play nice, boys!

And Gunny is not even half-shaven as yet!

Ugh. The way Les’s hair is drawn, I picture a slimey slicked back do. Which is a don’t.
