Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 17, 2020

Obrigado, o capitão óbvio.

Les should have named him “Claude.” ✨

Jeez Punk. You really take after your human dad.

ya know i’ve never seen a cat do that before but than i’ve never had a cat as a pet either to be fair

Some cat needs its claws trimmed. Those litter bags are not easy to tear.

I’ve always thought Les is a sweetie underneath that rough facial hair

G&K vacation continues?

(More Sunday-worthy gags)

My son buys the large plastic jugs.

Maybe Punk will only take a p—s on that exact spot on the floor.

Truth in advertising. Kitty littered.

Oh, it’s gonna be one of those weeks, huh? (for those wondering, I have a cat and there’s no way they could rip a kitty litter bag apart like that). I guess Greg plans to spend another week doing useless padding. Hopefully it’s because he has something good in the pipeline…

Looks like Greg just bricked Gunther’s laptop in panel 3.

Instead of buying a bag of premium deluxe cat litter, he should have bought a premium deluxe bag of cat litter. The premium deluxe bags are always better.

The rare felis boxcutterus

I agree with the sense of the comments so far, something big is about to happen.

funny, new twist on an old joke. But not close to the classic line between Lemon and Matthau

What do they put in that cat litter? Catnip?

Good thing he loves that cat.

My kitty, Jeket, didn’t rip the bag. I had dumped the old litter—admittedly late as I had to go get aforementioned affordable litter—and as soon as I had the bag open there was a gray streak and rush of wind and I’m looking at a very relieved pair of eyes as Jeket released a mighty river into the litter bag. A minute later he hops out with a disdainful flick of the tail and I immediately dump said litter into the pan so I could scoop the new arrival before the entire bag was somehow soaked.

Well Les DID call that “Cat” a “twerp,” last week. So, “payback.”

Is it me or does Les look like Bob Hope?

One of our cats was very smart. He would use his very sharp claws to open up a bag of dry cat food in the middle of the bag, and then eat from it. I took to calling the bags carcasses.

Cheap bag? Or a biodegradable plastics bag ?Or kitty needs a scratch post to sharpen it claws?

I get litter in plastic jugs.

Gunther is so unpleasant.

Looks like Gunther’s computer was hacked in the last panel. He’ll never finish his anime fan fiction.

Big whoop. Five minute cleanup at most, and practically all of it can still be used though there’ll be some minor losses.

That cat is nothing but a Punk.

Premium Deluxe Cat Litter? High-End Cat Litter?

Les, do you know what the cat does with the expensive stuff?

He takes a crap in it.

You gotta move, boy!

Punk’s claws must be laced with Adamantium.

So, a week (or more) with Les, my least-favorite character? Okay, well if I can survive watching one episode of Survivor, I can survive anything. Bring it on. Besides, maybe it will surprise me.

Yep… ain’t that a cat…

The litter may have been “premium deluxe,” but the bag certainly wasn’t…

Just another regular day in the life of a cat owner♡. And a premium deluxe litter … really too much for someone who claims to not love the kitten. Now I wonder, Gunther is happy to have the cat around or wants to tell Les to find a home for Punk.

Looks like a good place to build a litter box.

That’s pretty strong stuff.

Well, when you gotta, you gotta. Kitten obviously was in great need.

Guess they could have saved money on buying that litter box then.

Les got Punk’d! :o)

Punk is saying Love me——-love my claws!

A few years back, one of the Dept. of Energy facilities that handles nuclear waste “upgraded” to biodegradable kitty litter to absorb radioactive liquids.

That’s not how that works.

Oops.

Storytelling 101- when you want to turn a villain into a hero, show them being nice to a child or animal.

Only the best for Punk! So much for good intentions!

I like Les’s facial expression in the second pane.

I blamed my normally well-behaved cat for ripping into a bag of kitty chow, but I discovered that a possum was coming through the cat door into his room and doing. The poor cat was being traumatized by the nasty thing and being blamed for being a bad kitty. The cat door was locked until the possum went elsewhere, and Mr Kitty received many groveling apologies from me.

The litter I buy comes in jugs or boxes.

Welcome to cat ownership.

The strip seems to be in the winter doldrums. A series of one- or two-day vignettes for St. Valentine’s Day and since. We were introduced to Tiff’s new dorm room and met two new room-related characters in what seemed more like a set-up arc for the future. After a small build-up Stefani and Kip turned out to be almost predictable. Then there was Bets’ narcistic postings and Luann’s semi-neurotic inquisitiveness re Gunther’s personal life. And before that, some little Christmas tales re Shannon and Santa which featured the throw back, thuggish, not boyfriend material, Jack.

The last, long story arc seemed to be brought to closure with Tiff abandoning her self-proclaimed “pity party,” selling off her old, privileged life, and moving in with the Hall A denizens while table waiting at the Kafe. At the same time leaving Ton and Ann in kind of a limbo.

It would appear that the Evans team are preparing the table for a run of new story arcs given these setups. But I don’t see these forming until spring. At least Phil said spring will come early. Let us hope so.

Les is a punk

We get it in big plastic jugs.

that is why i don’t ever want a cat

Les must be pretty strong if he can carry what looks like a 20 pound bag of cat litter with one hand. Cat litter is heavy even the so-called “lightweight” litter.

As you know I have always said, long before the kittens arrived:

Gunther: pick of the litter

Les: picked out of the litter box

There is irony for me in this arc.

The wowness factor. Just contrast the warm, bright colors from yesterday’s strip with the drab colors for the drab people of today’s strip.

I know, I know. People are giving this arc a great big ho-hum. But I kind of like it. All the drama wears me out. It’s nice to have something sweet for a change. And come on! Les may be a creep, but he’s nice to his kitty.

Punk likes sitting behind Gunther’s laptop. Maybe there’s some heat generated there.

Amazing Claws for a Kitten.

Cats have nine lives so that they can come back to continue to torment people. They are evil.

All dogs go to heaven.

Looking after the cat, nice fella’

WHODATHUNK?

He got Punk’d. Ha Ha Ha.

It’s all Leslie Knox’s own fault. He should never have fallen for the kitten. Now, it’s his constant problem….

That’s what you get for naming him Punk!

The litter is still perfectly good. Just sweep it up and put it into another bag. I sweep up spilled cat litter all the time and toss it right back into the box.

Punk,the kitty, looks bigger or is gaining weight. An overweight kitty is not good.Or Punk is Transitioning into Cat.

In the cheap economy packaging

Don’t worry, it’s scoopable
