Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 14, 2019

Treat yourself. Go for the chamomile.

And what sort of tea is Tiffanyt going to get? Maybe Earl Grey?

Give it up, Tiffany. I have no use for Ann Eiffel, either, but she IS teaching you a lesson that you should have learned a long time ago. So this is one battle with her that you’ll never win — nor SHOULD you!

Ox may bring the tea and let Tiff keep her miserable $2.22.

Is that thing like one of those DQ blizzards? Or is it a triple whipped latte? Either way, 8.29!?

Tiff this a teaching lesson from Ann.

We all know Ann Eiffel is doing this to helpsomeone, and it is not Tiffany or Tom…

Two days left. Is it possible for G&K to save this arc?

Let me rephrase: Is it probable for G&K to save this arc?

I get it. Tiffany needs a lesson on money (right, Joe P?) – but this is getting pathetic. And I’m really, really scared this arc will go into overtime (that is, return on Monday).

And right there Ox is showing his respect for the customer, no matter what their circumstances. And he’s showing his respect for his employers, by not offering to “comp” his friend or give her some special deal. I like him, and I’m glad he’s finally making an appearance again.

Doesn’t she even have a checking account of her own? I’ve had one since my early 20s.

Tiff, as Calvin’s father will tell you, this builds character. And with that well-built character, you may, in the future, find a way to defeat Ann.

Is Tiffany about to have an epiphany?

You’re not alone, Tiffany. I don’t carry cash either.

Maybe Tiffany can sell some of her out of style larger/smaller older clothes on “Let-Go” for Money!

Hey, this guy TV sold a lawnmower! ;)

“Tiffany, let me introduce you to Reality.”

$2.22 for a water and a tea bag. Their prices really have gone up.

While Ann Awful has most likely, almost assuredly have an ulterior and evil motive and not doing this for Tiffany’s benefit…I think this will be another step in Tiffany becoming a better, less self-centered person.

Learning the true value of things and not just taking everything for granted.

OK. The triple snickerdoodle blast is $8.29. For her $2.22, I bet Ox would be willing to make her 1/4 of one. And throw in a napkin.

K2, a nod to Bizzaro? “Greg 3:14”?

Tiffany, just think of all the CALORIES you will be saving!!!

Well, she’ll lose weight on this budget at least.

Suddenly there’s a cash register at Tiff’s table?

“Waiter”? Doesn’t Tiffany know Ox?

I know she’s on a budget—but can’t Tiffany go back to some sort of modelling to HELP with her expenses? She’s still an experienced model—and the Plus size wouldn’t hurt.

I know you won’t like it, Tiff, but Ann is doing you a favor. Get a job and ride it out.

interesting discussion, but what about Tiff? Whatwill she do next? so many possibilities —reveal the true ann to her father? get a job? get help to manage her money and live like others? the list can go on……..

That seems to be a chair behind her, with a register in front. I thought Ox had met her at her table. Where are we, again?

All Right! Tiffany can count!

Canadian money is looney

HAPPY Pi DAY !!!!

Okay. Tiffany is in a bad way right now. And I’m pretty sure “romance” is the last thing on her mind. BUT……,

SCENES I’D LIKE TO SEE #1,003

“Excuse me, Miss. But I couldn’t help but overhear. And if you’ll permit me this honor, I’d like to buy you a Triple Snickerdoodle Blast, my treat! By the way, my name is Doug!” – (Handsome Young Man sitting at the next table over from Tiffany)

Tiffany get a real job, then get a Debit card that way you can use your own $$$$ and tell Ann to Pi** Off.Plus theres nothing wrong with a good cuppa Tea.

Paper cup not included.

Today is Pi day. K2 should give out free sample of pie today! Yeah! That’s the ticket.

@Mordy re support system

Of those you mentioned Oxford (at this point) looks like her best bet. Tiff hasn’t exhibited any tendency to accept positive support from Dez. Bernice’s attempt was selfishly motivated and failed. Lu and Tiff just can’t seem to pull it together consistently. Right now those that she has expressed openness with (Gunther and to some extent Les) have dished her a poisoned pill. Some healing there is needed right now. Al might give her good advice, but he’s not a nurturing type father figure. Irma would be ideal – but she’s just not in the right story position now. A nurturing mother image is what she needs right now.

At least she can still get a cup of hot tea.

Canada can keep its Looney and its Tooney [yep they have a 2 dollar coin up there] thus far in my not so humble opinion Canada has only given the US 3 things of any worth. Hockey, my Mom and my Son in law.

That will go straight to her thighs & her a*s, unless she doesn’t care about that anymore.

Sounds good.

Chew the bag afterward

“Water You Gonna Do?”

“Room $2.22”

“Tea-Bagger Tiff?”

The Luann soap opera, The Days of our Deception, carries on. As Anthony Newley wrote, and sang with that great Cockney accent, “…why can’t I throw away this mask of play and live my life?” Tiffany should be a high class hooker or escort. Gunther cannot handle any adult responsibility and needs a mature, gay guy (not Les) to tell him what to do. Bernice needs to thaw out and make out with some hot nerd. Luann just wants “cute”, so she needs to rediscover Quill, get married, have her own little Luann, and start the whole thing all over again.

Not an “hilarity ensues” sort of day again it seems in the Luanniverse. When the bright spot for me is the humorous name of the Starbuck-esque drink (Triple Snickerdoodle Blast…. kind of reminds me of the fun names that Bill Watterson used for the various sugary cereals that Calvin would eat) then the humor pickings ARE indeed slim.

So, with humor not the primary focus for today…. what is the message? Some thoughts:

1. Is Greg really guiding Tiffany towards a revelation in terms of her future? Or, is Greg having a very long, elaborate build-up to some hair-brained scheme? (Addendum… if it is moving towards the “hair-brained scheme” aspect…. perhaps TJ will suddenly pop up in his K2 work uniform too? He is, after all, the master of crazy schemes. :) )

2. With Ox showing up after a considerable absence…. is is presence merely a minor, short blip in terms of the presented Luanniverse, or will he be featured more frequently now?

3. If Ox does become seen more frequently…. are the odds low or high that Ox may become the guy who does win Tiffany’s affections?

This reminds me of a scene in the Buffy the Vampire movie that preceded the tv show when the character played by Luke Perry and his friend want to get something after a movie.

And still the purgatory for Tiff continues. Does Greg have some sort of love-hate relationship with Tiff to torture her so? Does he feel that her “sins” of the past have been so egregious to torture her for so long. Especially if the only point is to bring about some “life change?” I don’t think his most long-suffering character, Brad, “suffered” so long and as deeply with his pining for and pursuit of Toni Daytona! In fact, I can think of no other of his characters to have been punished so. (No! Frank and Nancy do not count!) Maybe somebody can help me out here? Perhaps @Mordy and @others can make a case for Gunther. But at least Gunther had a long-term support systems; Irma, Luann and Rosa for a while

Luann’s break up with Quinn didn’t take this long. Her little life lessons are pretty quick. Clumsy, “dumb jocks” are dangerous to date. Don’t jump seats at the Monster Truck Show. Don’t go to wild parties without a trusted escort. Jack went from aimless mediocre jock to career oriented winner in one dog park episode – even his looks improved and he’s not so clumsy anymore. Bernice still pines for Zack and Piro but apparently not as deeply, plus we don’t get our noses rubbed in it. Les got over Pru in less than four panels and he’s settled with his witch mother in a couple of weeks (although he’ll carry her around in his head for life). TJ seems to have a deck full of get out of jail free cards. Tara (the thief) gets a slap on the wrist and then be buds with the main character, Luann. Even Shannon gets instant parents.

So G&K, enough! Move Tiffany where you are going with her and stop the unreasonable harassment. Maybe it’s time for another Biology lesson from Gunther. (Please!)

That looks like an extremely fattening version of a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Don’t they at least have a small size version of it?

Over 70 replies to the topic of the American penny. Do you realize that if I had a penny for each of those replies, I still couldn’t buy a cup of coffee in most places?

hate pennys

Pennies are still useful.

Probably this is the first time Tiffany finds herself in a similar situation. It was about time!

I’m hoping this will lead to Tiffany considering what she majoring in and the value of her education at Mooney. BTW, you can buy a box of tea bags for $2.

Oxford has a sense of humor. But I fear a cup of hot tea is not Tiff’s, you know, cup of tea.

It’s time to take down Annie Awful for good!

While Tiffany does need to learn about saving money, being at Ann’s (dare I say) mercy is not good for her at all. And her father is a complete idiot for turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to how Ann is “handling the situation”. His ignoring Tiffany for Ann is how she gained weight in the first place. If this continues, Tiffany will become anorexic.

Tiffany needs to break her silence. She is not under any obligation to keep quiet about Ann’s Soufflé Lingerie parties. Ann had scammed the DeGroots as well; pretending to be so concerned about reconnecting with Les just to get lower rates on rent space. Ann has been getting way with far too much for far too long. It’s time for everything to come out.

hahahaha

Tiff, skip the cafe and head for the library to STUDY…
