Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 23, 2018

Ann strikes a hard, hard bargain.

If Tiff is smart, she’ll have set her phone on RECORD!

Tiff has no backbone. Shame on her.

Ann is the kind of person who makes paid hitmen ALMOST sound like a good idea. Dang bothersome manslaughter laws! ;-)

Making Tiff that offer she can’t refuse? All this started when Uncle Al came to town with his family of spiders. It’s about time that the FBI moved in and pulled the plug on him. Then, I would cheer as the whole family went down the drain. All this stuff is getting too heavy for me. If we can have a Duchess Meghan Markle baby watch, we can have a Toni (Mrs. Brad) Degroot baby watch.

Tiff i would chose option two!!!

Which begs the questions… Why? And the point is? What is Ann’s end game? Who wins this convoluted game here??

There are more than two options.

Tiff has some negotiating power here. She should decline the selfie. I think Ann would like to bring back something better than just saying Tiff was rude to her. Tiff could offer to text her Dad saying something like, “Ann & I are working on making things better. Miss you Dad, hope to see you soon.” This puts the ball back in Tom’s court and buys some time. In the meanwhile – Tiff needs to go to work preparing for life as a grown woman on her own.

Tiff has the occasional good punch line. “Your love overwhelms me” is a zinger.

Anyone who believes that Ann holds the cards here is not paying attention IMHO. The options are a friendly selfie, or telling Tiff’s allegedly on death’ door father that Tiffany was rude because she refused Ann’s offer of love? Give me a break. Ann does not have the slightest idea of what love happens to be; in her psychotically delusional mind it’s entirely transactional, you love me or else. I think Tiffany will reject this non-offer, it’s really is not an offer, it’s a con’s psuedo mind trick. I have been wrong before, and Tiffany could suddenly cave, but I doubt it. I think in the end Ann is going to be left out in the cold, as she was with Les. Not that this will be end of Ann, but this gambit is going to fail.

OK. Tiff’s dad is a total loss. However, to this point, Tiff has been getting free room and board at the college, her college paid for, a nice red sports car that she let Gunther drive home from the salamander hunt, and she evidently still gets a bit of money. True, her allowance was cut in half, but we do not know how much her allowance and credit card limits were to begin with. I would bet what she still gets is not chunk change. She already knows her old man will throw her over in an instant, so her best option is to make fake peace with that pit viper and play her old man for everything she can get out of him while she knuckles down in college to be able to make it on her own, or if not (this is Tiff we are talking about here), it will give her time to become some rich guy’s arm candy.

You know what Tiffany? That glass of ice water is really going to WASTE here.

What are You WAITING for Ms Farrell? Ask the QUESTION, Girl! Ask the DAMN Question! Look, Let Me Help:

1) “What about your SON, Les?”

2) “Does “US” being a “Family” INCLUDE Your SON, Les?”

3) Have You told My Dad lately, about YOUR-SON-Les??”

4) “Where’s WALDO?” (No skip THAT one)

5) “Do you know I still have a copy of that Customer List and have ALL of the angry customer’s names on speed dial? And while you made a deal with YOUR-SON-LES, you did not make a deal with Me! I really hope you ENJOY Prison Food!”

There! You see? “Easy-Peasey, Ann’s a Sleazy!” Just say the magic words, “Les Knox!” Now use that “ammo” and free yourself. And enjoy the rich irony that Ann once gave BIRTH to her eventual downfall, plus the fact that you’ll soon be dating your dad’s ex-girl friend’s “Son,” Les Knox.

And always remember: YOUR “Happiness” will come at the expense of your Dad’s “Happiness.” There’s been a lot of THAT going around lately in this Strip. Too much, in fact. Just ask your ex pal, Gunther……,

“offered you my love”? I didn’t see any scented oils?!!

I’m so annoyed I barely want to comment. Tom is a waste of time as well. Poor Tiff, she’s conceited, but she’s not evil. Ann Awful is both! It enhances her darkness. Reminds me of a certain jedi movie.

The witch plays with her claws out! Waiting for Tiffany’s next move….

Greg seems a little confused.Panel 1: 1 glass, no flowersPanel 2: no glass, no flowersPanel 3: 2 glasses, flowers

Ann Ethel is a horrible person. I hope Tiffany can come up with something to expose Ann. Ann sucks the life out of everything and anyone she comes into contact with. Boo to Ann, Boo!

Get out of that restaurant now, Tiffany! Call your father before Ann does!

Looks like an Ann blackmail scheme or con in the making. Probably to show Tiff’s supportive of them getting married.

Tiffany needs to borrow a “cleaner” from the Clinton Foundation….That is unless Eifel already works for them.

One thought…“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. Maybe it’s time to fake friendship with Ann…see where that takes you.

Just a thought – If Ann is so interested in getting a photo of her and Tiff making nice together, she must be worried about what Tom will think when she tells him that his daughter has rejected her inclusion into his family – she certainly didn’t demand a joint happy land selfie to help Tiff and Tom cement their relationship – she demanded it for Ann’s sake only…

Call the b****’s bluff.

Tired of this. Wonder what’s going on at FBOFW?

This arc has so much potential for a fun catfight. Yet it fizzles.Ann is slick tho. “Hon”? Not hardly.

Come on Tiff! She’s obviously blackmailing you! Walk away!

Ann’s ‘love’ is an offer Tiffany can’t refuse!

“Go ahead. I have options too and you have more to lose than I do. If you doubt that, call my “bluff.” You have one safe option, fold now, cut your losses, and leave town, while you still can. That Ann, is a better deal than you deserve, but I’m in a good mood.”

Wonder if she called her dad and the phone is on right now and he’s listening in on the conversation?

Tiffany should NOT take a friendly photo with Ann. Ann will use it against Tiffany some way in the future.

Surely Tiffany can communicate privately with her father some way? Text or email. He must have some privacy from Ann.

Tom made his choice; Tiff needs to make hers.

It’ll be tough for Tiff! Ann has Tom’s ear … but Ann’s ear, and likely elsewhere, will have that scented oil upon later that night…

By all means, Ann, tell him how rude Tiffany was. It’ll go over well.

The whole Ann Eiffel character and story line is getting very boring.

UGH. DON’T fall for it!!!!!!!

Ahhhhh, blackmail. Guess Anne’s out of patience too if she’s switching gears. Personally since Tiff and her dad are already strained, I think she should just let her say what she wants and still leave.

Tiffany, don’t fall into Ann’s blackmail, go away!

Well, Ann knows how to size up her mark.

Tiff, go see how Les and Al extracted Ann from their lives. Or better yet, set up another lunch with Al in tow. How would Ann react? Imagine what you want, Al is the male with the most backbone in this strip.

Refresh my memory please, Why is Ann known as Ann Eiffle and not Ann Knox?

Greg, would you please squash Effiel for Christmas! Thank You!

I agree @Charliegirl, in this day and age she could have been recording the conversation and maybe even sent it to his phone immediately after. And not say a word to her.

Tiff, why are you sitting back down? You are giving her opportunity. Your back should have been turned by now and with you walking away.

Why did she sit back down?? Just say “Go ahead and tell him whatever you want, he’s obviously in your corner anyway. He knows how to get in touch with me if he wants to talk. Bye.”

Too bad her father is dumb enough to fall for Ann’s B.S. Hoping something happens to wise him up.

Ann hasn’t said anything that would “expose” her to Tom. Saying she’d tell Tom how rude Tiff was to her isn’t a reason for him to kick Ann to the curb. He already thinks Tiffany IS rude and unfair to Ann, so this would just reinforce that. Tiffany accused her of wanting Tom’s money – all she said was no, I want us to be a family. Sorry, there’s nothing so far in this conversation that would prove anything to Tom.

I hope Greg has planned something truly nasty for Ann.

Ann informs Tiffany that she has two options??? portraying an ‘..i’m in charge..’ approach. I hope Tiff says “look.. you can tell my father whatever you want but your ideas and schemes are of no interest to me..”

Either Tom Farrell is a fool, or…. No, wait. Tom Farrell is a fool, just as his sweetie, Annie Awful, is a minion of Satan. Maybe the Tiffster should sprinkle her with that holy water from earlier….

yawn Ann’s machinations are old hat. Tiff should just shrug and leave. That would deflate Ann really quickly. Tiff would be in charge with that move. These kids need to grow up and be in charge of their lives.

“Dear”? “Hon”? Yeah…bu-bye sweetie!

Option three. Tiff sends Dad a selfie with Les and Mr. Gray suggesting a complete family gathering. I don’t remember any indication Dad knows about them.

For my Christmas present from Greg – I want him to send Ann Awful to prison! And have Tiffany’s MOTHER come into the picture!
