It occurred to me today that this is all about Ann getting revenge after Tiffany uncovered her lingerie scam. I wonder if her son, a schemer in his own right, and her brother, who apparently “knows people”, will be involved before this resolves.
Tiff has an uphill battle here that she can’t afford to loose. her Dad is at stake here and he doesn’t even realize yet the danger he’s in. that woman can be his ruin. I hope his will and testament were done a long time ago and without Anne’s help. Whatta nightmare for Tiff.
If I were Tom I would say something like, “Call the credit card company and order a new card! You’ve had a credit card since you were two years old. Surely you know this by now.”
Dumb move on Tiff’s part, calling her dad in front of Ann. What did she EXPECT to happen? Daddy breaks up with evil Annie? He’s already made it perfectly clear that he’s going to believe anything Ann tells him, and Tiff is wasting her breath trying to convince him otherwise.
Tiffany – face it. This is not Ann’s first rodeo. She handles men like your dad like a master puppeteer. You’ve lost your dad. Forget him – find someone who is Ann’s equal – TJ. Ann doesn’t know you know TJ, Bernice, Luann and Brad…and yikes, Shannon. Take that advantage to pull the rug from under her. Let TJ do what he does and run her out of town – again.
Control, over Tom and over Tiffany. That is what Ann apparently has. Tom feels his daughter is disturbed and troubled, he is paying for her counseling remember? She is a very disturbed, depressed young woman,but she has been trying hard to be resilent and be the kind of confident (might it be false) young women she tries to project, but Ann, the manipulative vulture that she is swoops down and feeds on any weakness she smells, she rips into the flesh of that person, and that relationship. Oh she is good, she is evil, Tom and Tiffany are offal. I hope this arc eventually surprises, right now it is a dark as can be. Oh it could be darker, that is scary.
Public service announcement: You’ve seen what Ann Eiffel can do. There are plenty of real life Ann Eiffels out there. Lately I keep seeing posts on social about various people supposedly guilty of various dastardly deeds (yet curiously not in jail for it) with their names and pictures exposed, and the caption, “Let’s make him/her famous!” (by which they mean infamous) with instructions to pass this on to all your friends. But before you do, please ask if there is an Ann Eiffel behind it. How do you know it’s true? These people don’t get fair trials or a chance to clear their names. There are all kinds of diabolical reasons why someone might want to ruin an innocent person’s reputation from the anonymity of the internet. Don’t pass on accusations that have no proof.
Ann’s not even having to try hard here. I mean, Tiff is in complete la-la land if she can really believed this would go down any way other than it has. Best I can come up with is that this is a “teaching moment” for T as to what the world is really like. The Anns of the world don’t deserve to win, but they just do. Hell, one got elected president and this country is full of Toms who are still happy about it.
Dang. I haven’t been following Luanne forever, but I’m just not seeing my thoughts mirrored. That Tiffany is an adult and can’t forever be her father’s dependent. Had her father’s credit since two? Grow up.
I don’t comment much. This is actually good for Tiffany. She’ll have to learn to stand on a lowered budget. I don’t like the way Ann is slowly but surely edging Tif out, but, if getting Tiffany to spend less on clothes and makeup is a truly a bad thing, I’m all ears. Tiffany has made serious strides from vapid plastic vile and scheming wretch to having friendships and caring about others. But, she is still pretty shallow, focusing on things that won’t help her in real life, like shopping. She should start focusing on getting a job, methinks nepotism would work in her favor here. Maybe getting a job within Dad’s corporation will help her in the long haul save it from Ann. Because Ann has become hydra and unless Evans writes in a nice gruesome gory definitely dead death scene for the ….. woman dating Tiff’s dad, she’s going to need an arsenal of tools to fight for what’s rightfully hers.
Tiff’s move to phone dad in front of Ann shows her immaturity. It’s time for Tiff to learn that when she has a pair of threes in the poker game – wait for a better hand.
Tiffany needs to rethink her strategy to tackle Ann. She is vulnerable right now and could ill afford further difficulties at this time. Of course, she can always try to “grow up” and cut the strings, but that’s easier said than done.
REAL SAD THAT A FATHER PUTS A WOMAN WHO IS NOT THE CHILD’S MOTHER BEFORE HIS DAUGHTER. I THINK ITS TIME TO STOP FOLLOWING THIS CARTOON. GREG HAS LOST A LOT OF MY RESPECT.
Surprised that Tiffany thought this would end any other way. She was great at playing games and manipulating people in high school, how have none of those talents stuck around? She’s really quite bad at this.
I cannot remember: Is Tiffany’s mother dead? Or are the parents divorced? If just divorced, here’s a cool development: Enter Tiffany’s Mom. Mom intervenes with Tom on Tiffany’s behalf. Mom and Ann Awful butt heads: (Cat fight? or just undermining each other?). In the end, Tom dumps Ann Awful and gets back with Tiff’s Mom. Hilarity ensues. LOL. Hey, once we get rid of Ann, Tiff’s Mom can leave Tom again because, as we see here, he’s a freakin’ JERK.
Ugh! So mad about Ann! She’s such bad person. Can’t wait to see when she gets what she deserves, right now she has been despicable for all the girls. Hope goes to jail trying to con Tom.
“No, Dad, I’m not going to be handled by your girlfriend. You’re going to handle her. I’m never meeting with her again because she is a bully. And now that she’s touching my food, she gets to handle that, as well as the filet mignon she just ordered for herself.
And if you don’t replace my card soon, the Farrell name is going to start looking pretty poor around here, as I start scrounging for food and am unable to swipe it for things like that college you wanted me to go to."
this is where Tiff just askes outright “Dad, Anne just ordered fillet mignon but said you’re having financial troubles. YOU could have told me.” play up that he’s not in touch with her and anne is not an acceptable substitute.
I’m beginning to see Tea Fanny’s point. Poor Tiff just keeps getting beat up on by Ann and her Dad is totally blind to all this. Doesn’t he love his daughter AT ALL?! I really need to see something good happen for Tiffany soon. She deserves a little break. And I DON’T mean Les!!!!! Please just let her win a battle with Ann once in a while.
Alright, Tiff… Moment of Truth! You see for yourself that Ann has your father wrapped around her fingers. Do you want to break free of that control or not? Tell your father you’ll go on your own and find employment. It might hurt for a bit… you might have to get to work now and finish your degree a bit later, but it will be worth it in the end. You’ll be free of Ann… she won’t have anymore leverage against you!
I am through with this cartoon. Greg Evans NEVER brings ANY arc to a conclusion. He just drags it on and on then drops it like a hot potato. Not worth bothering with anymore.
Looks like Greg has Ann manipulating Tiff into using her friendship with a certain Parisian lingerie manufacturer to help Ann run her scam. Or getting Tiff to run the scam herself.
Somehow I see a White Knight in the form of a law enforcement type showing up and hauling Ann away. And not just to Tokyo.
Tiff fails to grasp the situation. Her father is infatuated with Ann and all he sees is a shapely woman that adores him and cares for him. I was like him once, till I started seeing the other side of my squeeze. I had to make a decision as to whether I wanted to have her great body and her mercurial personality. In the end, I let her go. I couldn’t see a life of “coffee, tea, or me” and “drop dead, get outta my life.”
The problem a lot of us reader are having is that Greg already knows how this arc will resolve. Assuming Ann will get her comeuppance, as she has twice in the past, he views this torturous path for Tiff as merely a buildup to the playoff.
We, the readers, however do not have that foresight and therefore all this is a long, drawn out pain in the canasta!
Know what I’d like to see? I’d like to see Tiffany’s MOM return to town and attempt a relationship with her but only if she’s a truly good person who really loves her daughter. She doesn’t have to be rich—just caring and supportive. It could make for an interesting transformation for Tiffany as she continued her journey in life, once Ann separates her and her father and kicks her out of his life completely! Tiffany needs someone on her side for a change. Les and Gunther don’t count. They don’t love her unconditionally. No one does. She needs that badly.
3. I am disappointed in Tiffany’s choice to call her paternal chromosomes provider in front of Ann.
4. I am not looking forward to the hurt that Tiffany appears to be in line to face from all of this.
So, for me this was not a fun experience today. I am quickly beginning to dislike this arc. I hope it leads to something positive. But, right now…. it is just feeling too unpleasant.
That’s funny- Tiffany and Ann are sitting still, and no cutlery or cups are moving…. and, still… and maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me…. but, you can’t tell me, that that tabledidn’t just turn!
Well, it’s a longshot, but Hopefully this arc will end with Tiffany breaking ties with Ann and Tom. Sure, It may play into Ann’s hands for the moment, but it’ll send a LOUD and Clear message to Tom.
Imagine. Tiffany goes out on her own and gets a job and becomes self sufficient. And at the same time shows her Dad what she’s really capable of. And Lo and Behold, Tom does something he’s NEVER done before. He becomes PROUD of his daughter. And Who knows? Maybe if Tiffany gets that job with Soufflé in Paris, she’ll meet Mr. Right. Yeah. I’d be disappointed that it wouldn’t be Gunther, but It would be a 1,000,000 times BETTER than her casting her lot in life with the Loathsome Les.
And I may be the lone voice in the wilderness here, but I LIKE the drama that Ann brings to the Strip. So THERE! ;)
It’s the old law of supply and demand. Ann supplies what Tom craves and Ann demands what she can get from Tom. But, for Tiffany, Greg has projected a tale of masochism and disappointment. Give her a break, guy, you’ve been pounding her down for years.
This is the point where Tiffany needs to step back and take the council of friends (she does have friends) and their parents. Mr Grey appears to have substantial experience with Ann and her antics. If Tom is foolish enough to believe that Ann is the love of his life then he is beyond help and should be left to his fate. Tiffany despite appearances is a smart person who’s never really tested her abilities. I expect she could grow into a successful life with the help and support of her friends. Given Ann’s willingness to break the law, it’s not hard to imagine a fall is coming no matter what Tiffany does.
If you’re going to give your kid a credit card, AT LEAST require she stick to a budget. And by Tiffany’s age, she should be earning her own spending money, even if Daddy is paying for basic living expenses.
Ann continues to make “Strategic Blunders.” By cutting Tif off, she will no longer have access to the paper trail of Tif’s activities. Tif needs to return or cancel every activity that results in a bill to Tom. Tif can now act without Ann having a clue of what Tif is doing.
Obviously Daddy Dearest has made his choice already. It’s time for Tiff to find a job, do for herself, cut ties and let him learn his lesson the hard way, and be there for him WHEN, not IF, that happens. He’s obviously too pussy-whipped to think with the right head at the moment.
I’m bored with Luann. The only thing I want to see right now is Brad and Tony adopting Shannon. Ann Eiffel is an abuser. Gunther needs to grow a set. oh, and Bernice needs to get laid.
So what I’m getting from these Tiff/Ann exchanges is that Tiff has no idea how to handle any person she can’t bang into compliance (or sway with the promise of said banging).
We all don’t like Tiffany’s less than well thought out responses to Ann and her maneuvers. But we have to realize: (1) Tiffany is 18. Ann is probably about 37; (2) 18 yr girls don’t always think before speaking or acting. (3) Its two against one w/ the decks stacked against Tiffany; Ann and Tom are conspiring together on all of these maneuvers. Tiff needs some coaching and counseling of her own to outsmart Ann (and her dad for that matter). No one is better for the task than Mr. Gray, Ann’s brother who knows her inside-out and has a mind for her type of thinking.
I’m getting a little tired of this arc. It would serve Tiff right if Tom booted her out on her entitled little butt. She ain’t never going to win against Ann Awful. Not by whining and complaining. If she wants to win Tom’s respect, she’s going to have to stand on her own two feet. Get a job, move out on her own, cut up all of Daddy’s credit cards, and stop trying to come between her dad and the golddigger. Because what she’s doing sure ain’t working. So…what Luann up to these days? I’d much rather get back to her and Jack. I’ve got enough drama in my own life to worry about the drama in Tiffany’s.
i hope this arc is over soon, so tired of Ann doing everything possible to keep Tiff and her Dad having a decent relationship and trying to control Tiffany – Ann is just pure evil Lets’ get back to Luann and Jack
I thought Tiff was nineteen or twenty. Eighteen means she just got out of high school. She’s been in college what? two years now? Twenty years old still wouldn’t make her Ann’s equal, but she could show a LITTLE more maturity. Her reactions/responses are those of a spoiled, bratty ten year old child.
You know? There’s an Irony here that I think we’ve overlooked.
Ann’s declaration that she can “Handle” Tiffany. Frankly, I think it’s in extreme bad taste to tell your boyfriend that you can handle THEIR Adult daughter. But Ann tells Tom today he can “Handle Tiffany,” and Tom apparently, approves.
The Irony here is this. Almost exactly a year ago, Tiffany declared to Dez and Bernice, that SHE could “Handle” Ann’s “son,” Les:
https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2018/01/20
So what We have here is, Ann “handling” Tiffany’s Father Tom, while Tiffany (thinks) she’s “handling” Ann’s “son” Les. In the meantime, Ann is “handling” Tom and TRYING to “handle” Tiffany.
It’s all about “handling” or “control” here. But when Ann does it, she’s “evil.”
The BIG question now is: Will Tiffany allow herself to be “handled,” or will she break-free as many of Us Think/Hope?
Tomorrow (or Maybe next week) should be interesting…….., ;)
For the past year we’ve had arcs on Tiffany in various growth experiences. 1st it was losing the attention of her father, not travelling or vacationing with him. That drove her to using food as an escape. With a little help from friends and counseling she gets over that and becomes the new “love yourself” Tiffany with an extra 20 lbs and some friends. But there’s still more growing for her to experience and Greg is now tackling the issue of her dad’s $ which Tiff is still addicted to in all its excesses. It’s too bad Ann Eiffel has to be part of this equation but hopefully Tiff will emerge again in even better form.
Ann gives me a visceral reaction. She is such a sociopath. I hope Tiffany can grow as a person and become more independent through all this. Ann is slowly cutting Tom off from Tiffany (and anyone else in his life) he won’t realize this until after they’re married.Tiffany was a pain, but she didn’t deserve this from Ann (or Greg Evans).
I have a feeling Ann has found her permanent place in the comic. Normally she’s been like team rocket, a villain who is regularly defeated by the main cast. I don’t think Tiffany is going to be scoring any knock out punches on Ann and it’ll be more of a constant annoyance.
Just not finding this arc fun…funny or enjoyable. See to much of this crap in real life. Why do us men allow some woman to come in and push our children aside. Never understand it.

This is the point where Tiffany needs to step back and take the council of friends (she does have friends) and their parents. Mr Grey appears to have substantial experience with Ann and her antics. If Tom is foolish enough to believe that Ann is the love of his life then he is beyond help and should be left to his fate. Tiffany despite appearances is a smart person who’s never really tested her abilities. I expect she could grow into a successful life with the help and support of her friends. Given Ann’s willingness to break the law, it’s not hard to imagine a fall is coming no matter what Tiffany does.

If you’re going to give your kid a credit card, AT LEAST require she stick to a budget. And by Tiffany’s age, she should be earning her own spending money, even if Daddy is paying for basic living expenses.

Ann continues to make “Strategic Blunders.” By cutting Tif off, she will no longer have access to the paper trail of Tif’s activities. Tif needs to return or cancel every activity that results in a bill to Tom. Tif can now act without Ann having a clue of what Tif is doing.

Poor Tiffany. She still thought her father was on her side. I’m sorry for her, but Ann won this battle.

Obviously Daddy Dearest has made his choice already. It’s time for Tiff to find a job, do for herself, cut ties and let him learn his lesson the hard way, and be there for him WHEN, not IF, that happens. He’s obviously too pussy-whipped to think with the right head at the moment.

I’m bored with Luann. The only thing I want to see right now is Brad and Tony adopting Shannon. Ann Eiffel is an abuser. Gunther needs to grow a set. oh, and Bernice needs to get laid.

So what I’m getting from these Tiff/Ann exchanges is that Tiff has no idea how to handle any person she can’t bang into compliance (or sway with the promise of said banging).

We all don’t like Tiffany’s less than well thought out responses to Ann and her maneuvers. But we have to realize: (1) Tiffany is 18. Ann is probably about 37; (2) 18 yr girls don’t always think before speaking or acting. (3) Its two against one w/ the decks stacked against Tiffany; Ann and Tom are conspiring together on all of these maneuvers. Tiff needs some coaching and counseling of her own to outsmart Ann (and her dad for that matter). No one is better for the task than Mr. Gray, Ann’s brother who knows her inside-out and has a mind for her type of thinking.

Sorry, Tiff. Awful Annie laid the Ground Work for this stunt last night by selling your father a huge pile of BS about your spendthrift ways.

I’m getting a little tired of this arc. It would serve Tiff right if Tom booted her out on her entitled little butt. She ain’t never going to win against Ann Awful. Not by whining and complaining. If she wants to win Tom’s respect, she’s going to have to stand on her own two feet. Get a job, move out on her own, cut up all of Daddy’s credit cards, and stop trying to come between her dad and the golddigger. Because what she’s doing sure ain’t working. So…what Luann up to these days? I’d much rather get back to her and Jack. I’ve got enough drama in my own life to worry about the drama in Tiffany’s.

i hope this arc is over soon, so tired of Ann doing everything possible to keep Tiff and her Dad having a decent relationship and trying to control Tiffany – Ann is just pure evil Lets’ get back to Luann and Jack

I thought Tiff was nineteen or twenty. Eighteen means she just got out of high school. She’s been in college what? two years now? Twenty years old still wouldn’t make her Ann’s equal, but she could show a LITTLE more maturity. Her reactions/responses are those of a spoiled, bratty ten year old child.

You know? There’s an Irony here that I think we’ve overlooked.
Ann’s declaration that she can “Handle” Tiffany. Frankly, I think it’s in extreme bad taste to tell your boyfriend that you can handle THEIR Adult daughter. But Ann tells Tom today he can “Handle Tiffany,” and Tom apparently, approves.
The Irony here is this. Almost exactly a year ago, Tiffany declared to Dez and Bernice, that SHE could “Handle” Ann’s “son,” Les:
https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2018/01/20
So what We have here is, Ann “handling” Tiffany’s Father Tom, while Tiffany (thinks) she’s “handling” Ann’s “son” Les. In the meantime, Ann is “handling” Tom and TRYING to “handle” Tiffany.
It’s all about “handling” or “control” here. But when Ann does it, she’s “evil.”
The BIG question now is: Will Tiffany allow herself to be “handled,” or will she break-free as many of Us Think/Hope?
Tomorrow (or Maybe next week) should be interesting…….., ;)

Dear Tiffster, you are losing this battle at every turn.
Retreat, regroup, and develop a new strategy!

For the past year we’ve had arcs on Tiffany in various growth experiences. 1st it was losing the attention of her father, not travelling or vacationing with him. That drove her to using food as an escape. With a little help from friends and counseling she gets over that and becomes the new “love yourself” Tiffany with an extra 20 lbs and some friends. But there’s still more growing for her to experience and Greg is now tackling the issue of her dad’s $ which Tiff is still addicted to in all its excesses. It’s too bad Ann Eiffel has to be part of this equation but hopefully Tiff will emerge again in even better form.

More for Anne. Bwa ha hah!

Ann gives me a visceral reaction. She is such a sociopath. I hope Tiffany can grow as a person and become more independent through all this. Ann is slowly cutting Tom off from Tiffany (and anyone else in his life) he won’t realize this until after they’re married.Tiffany was a pain, but she didn’t deserve this from Ann (or Greg Evans).

Doesn’t Tiffany already have a job in the office at the daycare/preschool where Luann is a classroom assistant?
drewpamon almost 6 years ago
I have a feeling Ann has found her permanent place in the comic. Normally she’s been like team rocket, a villain who is regularly defeated by the main cast. I don’t think Tiffany is going to be scoring any knock out punches on Ann and it’ll be more of a constant annoyance.

Can’t stand Ann and Tiffany! where’s Luann?

Just not finding this arc fun…funny or enjoyable. See to much of this crap in real life. Why do us men allow some woman to come in and push our children aside. Never understand it.
