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

Oh, we all cannot wait to see Jack’s putt… and Tara noticing Luann’s absence in the party.

Oh Boy! We can hardly wait.

Now, just take a good look at this:

Jack gallantly “rescues” Luann from an uncomfortable situation.

He Opens the truck door for her.

Jack let’s Luann call the next move and leaves it up to HER whether she wants to go home or not.

And note, that Lu says its early, indicating to ME, at least that She WANTS to spend MORE time with him. And does Jack suggest that they go to his place, so Luann can “Pounce Him,” like that Scumbag Les boasted about Tiffany ? Nope. It’s “Let’s play Miniature Golf until midnight.” In a Public Place Yet.

Look out and alert the media, Luann. You got a real “No Strings Attached” Gentleman on your hands. A rare breed of male that is slowly but surely going the way of the dinosaur, on that long winding path toward extinction.

Of course it’s up to You, Ms. DeGroot, but you might seriously consider dating the guy, if he asks. If for nothing else, then to let your daughter know one day, of that long gone era when Uncompromising guys like Jack, once roamed the earth like the brontosaurus. ;)

So much for Jack’s early morning …

I already saw your impressive bu—oh, you said PUTT!

Did she find Tara and let her know or did she just ditch her? Tara is the party girl and she is not so she was out of her element so did she just slip out and was relieved to get away, figuring Tara is with her friends and would be fine. Anyway, three was a crowd. She is alone with Jack now.

So, once Jack and Luann become torridly involved, along comes Quill?

I guess she’s leaving Tara high and dry?

You can tell the party was intense from the syncopated rhythms and the floating 16th notes. Now if it was nice, family-oriented quarter notes, that would be another story.

I hope luann and jack have a good time in mini golf, that there are no incidents like when they played bowling, one more thing, I admit I had my doubts about whether jack was good for luann, but after today, no doubt jack is good for luann.

Where I’m at, everything shuts down hard and fast @9:00pm. ✨

Are we forgetting someone ???

Does romance beckon? Methinks yes, although maybe slowly, or…?

A nice ending to the week. Now…on to Shannon? Tiffany? Puddles?

I hope that Jack and Luann have fun mini Golfing.

Now jack is turning on the charm. He has good taste, but hope nothing happens. He’d be a great boyfriend to Tiffany

I think Greg gave Jack an overhaul or a personality transplant. Initially, Jack was a doofus, unappealing, too jocky with a wandering eye…now I am seeing a different Jack – caring, funny, responsible, mature, etc. Makes me wonder if he read the comments and realized if he wants or intends Jack for Luann, he gotta make him a better guy, that nobody would believe Luann would go for the former Jack and she didn’t.

Luann making adult decisions.

Oh, that does say “putt”. I had to check twice.

.

That Greg – he’s certainly the imp…

His “impressive putt” could mean many things, none of them having to do with golf. Aye yi yi, Greg, are you an awkward family strip or an awkward adult strip?

Little ditty about Jack & Luann, Two American kids growing up in the heartland….

Taking bets there’s a kiss at the end of this evening…

I suspect that Jack is one of the good guys.

Jack is a solid guy and what happened to his having to be up early?

And, wait till you see my impressive putz!

Where’s Tara?

If no one else is going to say it, then I am. Frame 4 – Jack: “And my perfect balls.”

Neither character had much potential at first, but Jack is evolving into a romantic interest for Luann, just as Brad did for Toni.

Ugh. What a nothing ending! And what happened to Tara? Did they leave her behind? Maybe there will be some repercussions if something happens to her. That could thicken the plot. This is a letdown right now!

You have a winner there. Don’t let a good thing go.

Anyone else misread that last part?

Now that Jack is just with Luann he has time to stay until midnight. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

Just what the good doctor ordered. Some good old fashioned fun. It appears that Tara did not want to be saved. She’s right with her own element.

He’s a keeper, Luann!

Imagine the story turn if he’d said putter.

So…what about Miss Starr?

How about Tara? Just ditch her?

I love these two together! <3

Jack really knows how to sweep a girl off her feet! Whatta guy!

I wonder if she’s now wondering about his impressive putt. Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

Now as the passion slowly rises in the west, it’s time to bid adieu to our young friends, and switch to the next arc….like it or not.

With JACK? Wonders never cease!

he means putter.

tomorrow: Frank lusts after Nancy … but the other Nancy!

All this concern about Tara. 1) She didn’t call for a “rescue.” Luann did. 2) Luann used the word intense re the party. Not threatening. 3) We’ll know at the next classroom event, if not sooner.

The great golfer Arnold Palmer told Johnny Carson that his wife always kissed his balls for good luck. Carson famously replied, “I bet that makes your putter stand up.”

“Your impressive WHAT?”“Putt”“Oh, I thought you said…never mind.”

Hey you guys, did you forget about Tara Starr ? Luann, you came with her, now your leaving her there? Alone with all those guys ? Not cool Luann !

Re: people’s earlier concern that something bad might happen at the party. I wonder whether that might still happen to Tara in some way? Not that I want that, but I guess we might find out next week, if they stick with the arc.

Hey, I like this guy! I’m still worried about Tara though…

I see the editors took some White-Out to the letter “B” in the last panel! :)

I need a truck. That “GREG 11-3” edition looks pretty slick!!

Luann & Jack will edge toward a romantic moment – then Luann’s phone goes “rrriinnngg” and it’s Tara. The police busted the party and Tara needs Luann & Jack to get her out of jail.

Kinda worried about Tara. Hope there are no future supreme court justices at the party.

Jack must be made of money. Monster truck tickets and mini golf, you can be looking at an expensive night. At least the ever popular college house party is free. Also feel bad for Tiff. She sensed Jack was a great guy & hit on him. She could really use a break from the Gunther’s and Les’s of the world and it’s not like she isn’t trying. Jack can make his move for Luann if that’s what he wants, but Luann isn’t really bringing much to the relationship (vs. Tiff). I guess the good guys are really attracted to the un ambitious girls.

So after her brief experience in an adult party, Luann retreats back into her comfort zone of kiddie-friendly, wholesome fun. Yet in her mind she’s a wild rebel because she dared to sit in the VIP section of the arena.

Few things are as eye-rollingly unbearable as a boring person who thinks they’re exciting or a lame person who thinks they’re cool.

How nice Launn finally found a nice maybe boyfriend

What about Tara?!?

I won’t “putter” around with that line.

Whatever Tara’s up to would be mor interesting

Wait a minute.

She’s ditching the Redhead?

Here’s the thing: Jack is now a major character… he made the transition this week. Clue? Thought balloon… we’d never before been shown what he was thinking, only what he was saying, but earlier this week (when he was worrying about Luann) we were shown his thoughts. I don’t recall that ever being the case with Aaron Hill, so he’s already ahead on the boyfriend front.

Calling it now: Jack and Luann are endgame.

Luann and Jack, sittin’ ina tree, kay, eye, ess, ess, eye, en, gee!!!

A little ditty ’bout Jack and Luann…..

I just noticed that Jack’s truck is the impressive Greg 11-3 model…

These guys are so cute. Looks like Jack is going to end up being a major part of the strip.

Sooo… what happened to her friend?… She just left her there?…hmmm??

looks like you might have a winner there, Luann.

Well, Jack, she’s seen your impressive butt, so now it’s time to show her your impressive putt.

Well, she’s seen his putter in art class…

I’m liking Jack more and more. She’s comfortable with him, and feels she can call on him when she’s in a jam. Yeah, I like Jack a lot.

Jack is a gentleman but the interesting thing is that every impression we had of him when they (Nil, Jack, Luann) were in art class together is gone. Clearly, he cares about Luann but he is not coming on to her the way he once did (in art class); he was freshman then. A year of college and a professional direction has caused him to grow up. His approach to relationships is different too.

Am I wondering what everyone else is also wondering?Did Luann and Jack just ditch Tara?

Does Luann realize that she is actually having a Good Time while out with Jack? If not, when will the lightning strike? Jack is a viable potential boyfriend, and goodness knows that Luann could use one….

I think her first date – with Gunther – was miniature golf.

324 comments,WOW!Oops,325.

The sight of a couple making out and a little loud music was too much for a 19 or 20-year old college…. junior? Why is Luann literally the most boring character on the comics pages? She spends her entire existence on the margins of society watching other people do interesting things and never ever takes the slightest risk herself…I mean she makes her money at the public library for crying out loud…. I ask again… this strip is supposed to about young people for young people. But why does it read like it’s for geriatric readers who are trying to understand what their great-grandchildren are like…..?

what about Tara Boom DeLaye ?

…..you left Starr there alone?

Luann is leaving Tara who doesn’t have her own car to drive home. Not good.

Anyone gonna check on Tara?

Okay, I wasn’t sure at first, but…yeah, I ship it.

I think Luann has just found her next great love interest.

My only concern is she left Tara behind. C’mon Luann! Girl Code! You go, Tara comes, even if you have to listen to her whine at you for it. If she’s smart (and I believe she is), she’ll thank you for it once she has time to cool off and think about it.

I’m sure she’s going to love your impressive putts…
