Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 18, 2020

Yep – it is what I want. Works for me, too.

.

Oh, Annie? I believe you have that backwards. The winners are inside, and the loser is outside.

.

Also, make sure you guys get the keys or fob to the yellow sportscar. She can walk to a lighted street corner in her high heels. Someone will pick her up.

.

I just love the finality of that door slamming shut! Shame her finger wasn’t in it…

ouch… but had to be done in order to shut her raging mouth

I had a feeling she would give them a piece of her mind. To no avail.

Too bad her promise is worthless.

In the illustrious words of *NSYNC, “Bye, bye, bye!”

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. buuuh-bye Ann!!

Well, that’s that.

Yaaaaas! Good riddance.

Marx my words?

She’s going to find a better place to smoke it.

Ann really shouldn’t have alienated Nancy. Otherwise she could have asked to rent that spare room…

ALWAYS pushes it too far and gets bit on the tuchus by her own chutzpah.

Slam dunk! Wham – bam – thank you ma’am…

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, HEY! HEY! HEY!, Goodbye!!!

LOL, Ann is now homeless. Bet sleeping in that car will be really comfortable for now.

“You will never see me again!”

*Everyone else: Can we get that in writing?"

And I thought it couldn’t be done…

Well Dang, that was satisfying! No doubt she’ll turn up again like a bad penny, but hopefully we’ll get a break from her for a little while, at least for now. And so will they.

“And mark my words, you’ll be sorry for this!”. Is Ann just spontaneously prattling off some face-saving bluster, or has she ever been vindictive before?

Capital!

Please please PLEASE let this be her final appearance in the strip. After all, she’s worked her way through the entire cast of the strip, so who is there left to be suckered by her? (G&K, please don’t take that as a challenge)

She’s leaving, without a suitcase, or any of her designer clothes/shoes, or any of her papers (passport, bank statements, financial records, etc.)? Just the contents of that tiny purse?

Was she maintaining a second domicile, just in case Tom ditched her?

Good to see her (lol) giving them one last chance to kiss her butt and apologize! So, as I said yesterday, some people had a tendency to overthink, and overestimate Ann’s power to file frivolous lawsuits for any little thing.

If she’s leaving her designer duds behind, Tiff can call Gun & bets to sell the stuff off now. Earlier, it would have been a bad idea when Ann was calling all the shots, but now… what would Tom want her handbags and gladrags in his house for? All her stuff… OUT THE DOOR!

That was certainly a multi-coloured SLAM!, but I would have to say that it was nicely colour-coordinated with Ann’s outfit.

“OK, I’ll give you one last chance to apologise. Or I’m out of here!”

Hit the road, Jack!

Ding dong the witch is dead…. Well at least gone for a while -yay!

or her head, okay in this world these days life has sucked major and we know that but this is the best news we’ve gotten for awhile and Greg at least gave us. anyone wonder if her clothes are still outside or did Tiffany pick those up?

Change the locks and passwords, then cancel the credit cards and whatever else she had control over.

Now maybe we can see Luann again, and not just in Luann Againn.

I would love to help pile all her stuff at the end of the driveway. I will even volunteer to make the FREE sign.

Now it’s time to call the accountant(s) and make sure Eiffel can’t skip with the contents of the checking account— and take a look to see if she was writing checks to herself.

I think I speak for everyone when I say FINALLY!?!?!? Also I’m very excited cause this means Tiffany and Les could still happen!!?? Ahhhh I think they would make a cute couple.

Now Luann can throw all the rest of her stuff on the lawn! Good riddance! WOO HOO!

What? No money for a Lyft?

Yep, more or less what I expected from her.

Best. Week. Ever

Sad part is, I know someone that could be Ann’s teacher. Same thing always happens, they get busted and then blame everyone else for their failures and then goes right back and does it again. Gees, read a book or something.

With all the stuff Ann got away with and this is how it ends!!!

Id find a hose to turn on and just spray her off the property

Tiffany, you can throw the rest of Ann’s crap out the window now.

He’s a lawyer, if he’s smart, he’d bring in the forensic accountants asap

You know what’s really great about this ending? We have never seen that expression on Ann’s face before the third panel. And it is priceless.

Frank and Nancy lock your doors you will have Ann giving a sob story on how bad Tom and Tiff and her own son treated her.

I really hope that’s the end of this arc but I know it’s not. Ann Effiel will never leave

Do y’all hear that old classic Ray Charles song Hit the Road Jack playing in your heads?

Dont worry Tom, you’re rich. You can get a new woman tomorrow if you want. You don’t need Ann.

And I wonder when old Annie will be back trying to run another scheme?

And dont forget all your clothes Riff threw in the yard.

And I’ll say it again. Some of the best stories in this strip do not involve Luann. Who else agrees?

Shannon’s classic act, which includes ?????

I’ve waited for this moment for a long long time!!

It’s what people everywhere wants. I hope Tom doesn’t cave and take her back.

Bye bye now Witch! Don’t even bother to write!!!

Ann, you have smarts plus you have a great bod to boot, you must realize this because you LOVE to advertise your girls and your butt. Tom genuinely loved you and wanted to build a life with you, but apparently the only thing you wanted was his wealth and social status. Which i’m sure he would have gladly shared, had you genuinely returned the love he gave you. But not many men will love you if you use sex and a desire to have a family—-as a weapon. Keep living the way you are and the ONLY men you’ll get are immature boys who are lead by their love muscle rather than their heart.

Awful Anne will seek revenge because she thinks that power is hers. More trouble for her. Tiff needs to work on overcoming inattention.

I will not believe that this arc, which has been the comics’ answer to water boarding, is actually over until I see Gunther and Bets at some dorky comic convention.

Blimey!

Glad to see Ann go. Sadly, I think she will be back considering she had moved in there with clothes etc. This made for a more dramatic ending though. Wonder if anything will happen now between Tiff and Les?

“SLAM”!

The four-letter word I was hoping to hear.

If Evil Annie still has any accounts that are linked to Tom’s, now is a good time to transfer all the money back she has probably siphoned.

Bet this is the first time where MIZZ Effel got ratted out and kicked out.;D

Was Ann living there full time? Her coming over to pick up her things could be a bit awkward. Then again Tiff just might enjoy flinging Ann’s personal effect out on to the lawn with any repercussions from her father.

Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!

where the hell is MORDY?

Thanks Greg! It took awhile for it to get here, BUT it was worth the wait, and the decision was Toms

A 3 color “SLAM!” That sounds pretty definitive.

One thing I predicted did kind of come true, which was that Les would have the last word. It was a bit understated, but when even her son condemned her to shameful oblivion it was just the right touch. Finally Tom picked his daughter over the succubus grifter. We will likely start another arc, probably more girl boy relationship (girl girl or boy boy is extremely unlikely, so Gunther and Bets or Luann and (?Jack) or Brad and Toni and baby (?), but the best thing to see is not Ann’s defeat, but Tiffany’s triumph to get her father back.

One disquieting note of the plot – it appears to me the “Ann plot” is ending just a little too triumphantly for Tiffany. Remember the “Dream Season” of the TV show “Dallas”? It was when Pamela discovered the supposedly “dead” Bobby Ewing taking a shower and it was revealed that the whole previous season was “just a dream.” I do hope “Luann” isn’t planning to play this card. Although “Dallas” chugged along for another three seasons the show very rapidly lost a good share of its audience; the same could happen here.

Wow. Given GnK’s history of misdirection I was not really expecting them to give what the readers asked for. I am still or dreading for the other shoes to drop.

Emphatic slam!

In the immortal words of Mr. Burns: “Release the hounds!”

I’d wager that it was her own son Les who slammed the door in her face!

Well she don’t let the door hit her on the way out.

Call him tomorrow. Give him one more last chance. Then…maybe next week…

Well. …I can now go to bed and have happy dreams! However, I have one question. Who knows this? Who met Ann first? Tom or Tiff?

Buh-bye!

finally

May the road rise up to meet you. (and slap you in the face)

May the wind be always at your back. (and push you far from here)

May the sun shine warm upon your face; (and blister it)

may the rains fail hard and floods sweep you far from here

may God hold you in the palm of His hand. (and crush you)

An Irish curse?

So where’s the betting pool on which characters will be featured in the new arc that starts on Monday? What kind of odds can I get on a Bernice-Zebo romance?

With regard to the “Who is Ann Eiffel?” link appearing daily on this web site?

May I point out that in that portrait Ann has the figure of an eighteen year old woman, that Ann has the features and clear complexion of an eighteen year old woman and that Ann has no fashion sense either with regard to her garb or her hairstyle.

We know that she is a match in beauty, at least as drawn, for her current boyfriend’s twenty year old daughter despite having a twenty year old son of her own. We know that she has a brother who she is close to her in age, but who appears to be old enough to be her father.

How can Ann be so indifferent to human aging while also being so indifferent to how humans behave? Perhaps Ann is not, or at least no longer, human?

Here’s hoping that Greg keeps her promise and we never see this character again.

Yay! I love seeing Tom’s arm around Tiffany. And Les making up the threesome.

What a compelling argument she had.

She keeps revealing herself to Tom.

This is what we needed for once! The bad guy/girls gets what they deserve with no remorse or guilty feelings for doing the right things to get them out of your life! I’m so over the bad guy winning. I hope Les becomes part of the family and feels welcomed for a change. Once he tells his story Tom will defintely have an easier time getting over her.

Pinned.

Disappointing end to a long arc. Ann is not stupid but her useless rant was. A better exit would have been, “OK, Hon, I’ll send for my stuff.”

The Best Ever. This is Fabulous. Stupendous. Way to go Gregg, YES

But, as Tiff said when Ann said she’d never return to the Fuse, “Unfortunately, she’s also a liar.”

1. She needs to take her clothes and whatever else she can stuff in her suitcase and pockets.

2. She seems to really believe she is an essential part of their lives… What an ego.

3. Tom WILL be sad to miss having a companion. We need to find someone for him.

I love the “works for me” from Les. Les is definitely becoming a more likeable character, definitely not a saint and he is not Mr Congeniality but he is beginning to grow on me. Its like the icing on the cake of a wonderfully entertaining arc. Gotta like that Tom has his arm around Tiff. Maybe they will make up for a lot of lost time now……

Anyone believe we’ve seen the last on Ann Eifull

Now Tiffany can ask her father why he was so quick to believe Ann every time Ann trashed talked her.

“SLAM!!!” Today the most satisfying word in the English language. In fact, that door slammed so hard, I actually felt it. And the beauty of it all is, Ann is depicted getting kicked out with only the clothes on her back. Tiff should sell Ann’s designer clothes and not burn them. Bets can help with that. I’ll go one step further. Tom should hire Bets to tutor Tiffany, if Tiffany remains in college.I’m thinking that next week may be a week of apologies, gratitude, and perhaps “rewards.” And then, hopefully, it’s a long overdue visit with Luann. I look forward to seeing her again. Even if it is only in her messy room.

Tiffany would probably be happy to help carry Ann’s luggage OUT of the house for her. It is nice that Les is here to see Ann get kicked out.

YAY again. Jokes on her , all her stuff is inside. BUT, let’s see what she plans for revenge. I doubt this is the last we see of Ann Eiffel.

Bye bye Annie, bye bye!

Dun dun dun!

She will be back…..

After all the Eiffel/Tiffany pathos, this was refreshingly cathartic.

And some folks say Greg never finishes an arc. Well done G & K!

The question is: “will Tiffany regain her ‘entitlements’ ?” Will Tiffany live in the mansion? Will Leslie Knox and Tiffany “hook-up” ? """Stay tune as the world turns""""

her upance has finally come!!

When I see that large panel near the bottom of the page read: “Who WAS Ann Eiffel?”, then I may start buying the finality of this.

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But don’t forget to change the locks Dad.

Well, she still has to go back in there to get her stuff….. Is it possible we will never see her again? Somehow, I don’t believe that. The Evanses like to torture their readers.

Ann will be back in a few years for Les’s wedding at the Fuse. Coworkers will be there …TJ Ox Nancy Tiffany. The poor bride will have Ann as a mother-in-law. I wonder how that party would go??

But what if Ann finds out she really is pregnant?

Her own son told her to get lost. That must have made Les feel good.

New arc? New arc?

Oh no; it’s going to take a full week to really get rid of her.

Monday: Still standing at the door, it starts to rain clothes.

Tuesday: Ann lifts a piece of lingerie from her face to see a locksmith parked in front of her car.

Wednesday: The locksmith changes the car locks first.

Thursday: Ann calls for an Uber and has her card declined.

Friday: Ann meets Luann walking Puddles, and Puddles lifts his hind leg.

Saturday: It starts to rain.

Sweet! This will help me have a better weekend for sure! Thank you Greg! シ

Not just a SLAM! A multicolored SLAM!

Oh, that was so satisfying.

It did take two weeks for this arc to end. Next over / under is number of comments on Monday.

This arc ended so satisfyingly, that even Greg dumps a week of Shannon on us next week, I wouldn’t even mind. It’s always nice to see an Ann Eiffel scheme unravel.

This was worth the several years it took to reach this point in the story.

Is this the last we’ll see of Ann Eiffel!?

I love it when the good guys win.

This has got to be the single most satisfying strip, in any comic, that I have ever read. Thank you, Mr. Evans! This has been a long time coming, and it was worth the wait!

Anyone besides me want to know who slammed the door? Maybe we’ll find out on Monday.

Look … Tom has his arm around Tiffany… so nice. The SLAM is so loud – that all 3 of them must have pushed on the door.

Too bad for her that her clothes isn’t still all over the lawn.

Like I’ve been saying all week, hope she doesn’t have access to Tom’s finances or taken much of it already. Plus hope Tom realizes he needs to spend more real time with Tiff and not just hand her $$$$.

Will Tiff start loosing weight since stress, via Ann, was the cause of her weight gain?

Hit the Road Jack

Ray Charles

(Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more.)

Woah Woman, oh woman, don’t treat me so mean,

You’re the meanest old woman that I’ve ever seen.

I guess if you said so

I’d have to pack my things and go. (That’s right)

(Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)

(Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more.)

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! We don’t want butt prints on our nice clean door.

Greg Evans is doing a first-rate job of making poetic justice highly enjoyable.

Nothing really quite like a Grand Slam to end someone’s game! Ahhhh… :D

Is this outcome too good to be true? Tom sees the light and changes from total blind jerk to total doting dad? We’ll stay tuned in.

Hopefully a new storyline arc will have Luann back as the main character and not a secondary one. And the Ann Eiffel arc was getting tedious and boring.

Count on it. Ann will get her petty, meaningless revenge.

Ann Eiffel possibly may be written out, but not so completely sure. G&K will still come up with some other controversial character from which to draw criticism. Just look at how much interest Ann Eiffel attracted. There will be either another, or a conflict from within the existing regulars.

So save me going back to check: Did Tom actually put the ring on her finger?

She got off waaaay too easy. I hold onto hope that one day she will really get what’s coming to her.

Bravo! Finally, Ann has left the building and the lives of these people. Wonder when Tom will figure out how much she cleaned out of his bank account before this?

Does Tom know Les is Anne’s son that she abandoned? I don’t remember if that has ever been addressed. The two ultrasounds are the same and unspoken is Les must be her son but….

It’s always the ‘MARK MY WORDS" that means it’ll be a long while before we see that person again. (whether up to new tricks or plotting revenge)

And all of Luann’s village, on paper and around the world, rejoice!!

Karma rears its head and boots Ann in the butt!

I actually let out an audible “whoo-HOOO!!” for that! (woke the wife up) This is a turning point for Tiffany AND Les. She has her dad back, has discovered she’s somewhat self-reliant, and most important…SHE BEAT ANN!! Same for Les. He’s been waiting to give his “mother” some just desserts. Maybe he’ll find some closure, now, and adopt a new attitude.What i’m curious about…who actually slammed the door?! They all had good reason!

…this can’t be over…

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Annie!

So WHERE are all the comments postings of readers apologizing for all the repeated wrong predictions that we’ve been subjected to over the past weeks:

- that Tiffany would lose

- Ann would win and stay

- Tom would forgive her

- because Greg never wraps up anything

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Ann don’t forget to pick up your clothes that Tiffany though out the window

Best strip ever!

HaHaHa….kick rocks, Ann

Other than a stake through her heart, best possible outcome.

YES.

If Ann threatens a breech of promise lawsuit, then Tiff and Les can break out the lingerie fraud!

Now for the big “I’m so sorry I didn’t believe you” scene from Daddy

So now that it appears that this storyline is wrapped up (unless we have a few more days of Tiffany getting her dorm room back), who will be the center of the next arc?

Gunther and Betts?

Brad and Toni?

Berniece and her R.A. duties?

The Fuse?

Luann?

Satisfactory. Someday, Ann will come back to torment our heroes with other schemes, but today she’s out! Now, I just hope Tiffany doesn’t quickly get back to her spoiled old self, totally self-centered with a single room, no need to work and with endless money to spend. And that Tom will be more in touch with his daughter♡.

Finally.

I stand corrected! I didn’t think this would go in Tiffany’s favor. I’m still a little weary about a sudden change of heart by Tom, but sure hope not! Been waiting years for Tiff to get any satisfaction!

She’s pretty screwed. No home, no job, no friends. She’ll be out in the streets pretty soon now.

Served!

And you’ll never see me again.

Yeah, right! Like The Terminator. she’ll be bach… and bach… and bach…

Yabba dabba doo!

It’s as though she’s asking all of us! Guessing, since Tom didn’t collect the credit cards, he can cancel them. Major point being she’s gone, at least for now. (Cheer!) Next time we see Tiff and Les this may not even be mentioned. Almost a shame as it’s a dramatic character growth event for all three. And I would like to see the father/daughter situation evolve with Les somewhere in the mix.

“Oh HAPPY DAY!…..” That shouted, I have to wonder how Annie will come back. I don’t think for one moment that G & K are done with her… not yet.

Hey, where the heck has @Mordock999 been? Heck of a week for him to go “on vacation…” I hope he’s OK….. Mordy, I got the Coffee brewin’ for ya!

No final comment from Luann today?

Ya know! After years and years of this arc and all the weeping and gnashing of teeth…

this almost seems anticlimactic!

My, that was therapeutic.

yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Love the picture of Tiffany’s Dad with her arm around her. Hope she doesn’t forget all she’s learned now that she’s in from the cold.

We see Tom’s face and learn his name for the first time when he finally sees Anne for who she really is. Nice touch, Greg.

Here’s hoping Ann has to go back to work at Weenie World.

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” Rhett Butler

What a satisfying slam!!!

And here’s hoping that’s the end of this story arc…

Finally!!

Out you wicked witch, and stay out of out lives forever!

Yes!

Is this final?!? If so, an unanticipated triumph of Good versus Evil.

Yay!

TOTALLY AWESOME!! Perfect ending! Thank you for a very fun sometimes maddening but always intriguing comic strip!

Too good to be true.

Dang! Les didn’t even stand with his own mother!

The bum’s rush. No one deserved it more.

Oh, if only this was truly the end of Ann. I can dream right? Who is she going to latch onto next I wonder?

Make sure that all of her stuff, (Anything NOT paid for by him) is packed in a box and set outside of the gate. That way she doesn’t have a reason to ever come back.

“Aloha oe … "

And Tiffany and Les are both on the inside!! Good for them both!

She has his credit card, doesn’t she?

I love the united front that Tom, Tiffany and Les make here. I suspect Ann will be back, but hopefully not anytime soon. Now back to a few other storylines!

Ann problem she got to greedy to fast

Yay! The bish is gone?

Please PLEASE dont bring her back

Here’s hoping we’ve seen the last of Ann Eiffel. That door-slam looked pretty final.

They make her character much too “naive” She is basically a foil for the kids and her behaviors reflect that. She is written like a young teen aged kid. The entire issue I have with her character is just that. She is basically a 13 year old.

I am glad it turned out the way it did, I think we will start another arc on Monday, but as she said, “mark my words” she will be back, one way or another one of these days. Hope we are ready.

Huh. Never took Ann for the type to start “monologue-ing”.

Ding dong the witch is gone, which old witch, the wicked witch, ding dong the wicked witch is gone.

This has cheered me up even more than spotting comet NEOWISE

Ding dong the witch is gone, which old witch, the wicked witch, ding dong the wicked witch is gone.

Tom had already proposed before he saw the sonogram. A proposal and an acceptance is an implied contract. Just saying.

I love seeing Ann get what she deserves! It’s been a long time coming.

“Big Applause” emoji!

“Awful Ann” will now get a job at The Fuse.

Dang! She should have turned around that way the door would have hit her on the butt on the way out!

Yay!

Plot twist: Ann is really pregnant. She just hatched her plot too soon.

Excellent!

Ann may not be as morally grounded as we would like, but ya gotta admire her spunk. she’s a go getter. she’ll go off and make hay somewhere else.

I hope she shows up in other comics, trying to scheme her way in and they all end in the door slam. e.g. Garfield slamming the door for Jon, Family Circle trail dots end at the door, Pearls Before Swine paint her like a zee bah and leave her for the crocs at the door, etc

One wonders what she will do about her clothing and personal effects. And where will she live? And who cares, it’s Ann Eiffel.

I didn’t think this storyline could get any better but… WOW! Fantastic. This is such a happy time. Honestly, there could be tears!

SLAM = Shut Loudly And Meaningfully!!!

Oh my Goodness!! That is soooo goooood!!! Justice is served!!

Ann isn’t bad. She’s just drawn that way. Next story sometime in the future, she realizes the error of her ways and comes back as a Good person. Or is she?

Now maybe we can move on.

Finally.

So now what’s in the cards for Ann Eiffel? I vote “sex slave for Gunther and Bets!” Who’s with me?

I feel a cathartic sense of relief

there are 2 choices about what to do with Annies stuff. 1-toss it all out the window. 2-Tiff packs it and leaves the suitcases at the end of the drive

When one door closes another one opens for Anne to walk through.

I am glad she is finally gone. Now let her stay gone, and not show up in a few months with a soap opera baby. That would be the death knell for this strip.

As my grandmother used to say…“Good riddance to bad rubbish.”

The door did not hit her on the posterior on the way out, I’m sorry to see.

Yes!!!!!

“works for me”

Will Ann become an online stalker? An identity thief? An ordinary stalker? An ordinary thief…2nd story?

why am I thinking this is too easy?

About time! Tiff needs her dad to be supportive of her and he hasn’t been because of Ann. I hope this will bring them closer together.

YEAH!!! Bravo!!!!!

they could have closed the door nicely. i don’t see that anything is gained by slamming a door in someone’s face. the door is still closed; you’re making the same statement.

Bye-Bye Ann!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

THE EVIL EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE… wonder what she’ll do next

Ann gets the Grand Slam and Tiffany looks genuinely happy for the first time in like ever. Love it!

Ahhhhhh so satisfying!

wow.. how many decades has this been coming? I never thought I’d see the day.

Buh-bye

The real winners are the ones who are smiling in frame 1. I am just ecstatic. I couldn’t see or foretell anything good coming out of a Tom-Ann marriage, except from her perspective, which is what she has been about all along…scheming and conning her way through life, as well as being a bully and a few other B words.

Somebody call Ripley’s, please. I didn’t think this was ever going to end.

Good for you Tommykins, but watchout now. She said you’d be sorry…

YES! YES! YES! And a thousand times YES!!! Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya…

The story arc I never thought I’d see.

Bye Felicia!!!! Now do the walk of shame down the street of McMansions.

Now I hope the kids tell Tom what she’s been doing to them and their friends.

And there was much rejoicing. Yay.

It would be really nice if this… cretin were never seen in the strip again.

Les looks so smug.

Finally.

Looking forward to a different story on Monday. Have a great weekend, one and all.

Tom better call his accountant ASAP and make sure that Ann can’t empty his bank accounts or rack up any credit card charges.

Do you think we’ve seen the end of the nefarious Ann? Though I like this outcome, for the sake of drama, I hope not…

Check out panel # 1. The perfect family. Can you see Nancy, Frank, Luann, and Brad? Neither can I, somebody better refresh my memory.

1. The “tee hee hee”, I made a mistake!

2. Lame excuse of incompetence

3. Attempted deflection with accusations

4. Attempt to placate

5. Totally transparent attempt to shift blame

6. Phony sob-job apology

7. Admission of lie, attempt to smooth it over

8. Desperate attempt to graft herself into the family

9. Last try at seduction

10. The threat of “missing her”

11. Ad Hominem attack

12. Broad, general threat

13. Final realization of being cut loose

I gotta hand it to Les and Tiffany. They did an awesome job of keeping quiet and letting Ann bury herself.

Was worth the wait to get this pay off. Now if Ann just falls in a mud pit on the way to her newly clamped car, Karma will be on the first rung of the ladder.

Who slammed the door?

ROTFLMAO! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I

there is plenty to do without the grifter Ann around. she was a real lowlife that did not deserve to be around these people. good riddance.

Rather than Ann Eiffel, her real name must be Ann Awful. And it’s pleasant to see how ditzy Tiffany is maturing and learning how to deal with life’s traumas and villains.

The writers need to think of Ann as a sort of chili pepper. Used prudently, it can add zest to a meal. Used imprudently, it can spoil the meal and make people who eat the meal ill.

Tune in tomorrow, when Luann and Bernice meet for lunch at The Fuse, and start talking about how Ann Eiffel kicked herself out of the Farrell home…

VICTORY!

Lose the only nasty person in this strip? Hard to believe..

Tom will discover his herpes next month.

Aaaahhh. Shut your yap, Ann

And all this happened because Tiffany saw her dad smiling.

An audit of the accounts turns up $ 150,000 missing is jailed and falls in love with her Jailer, Buba .

i think she’ll be back.

I can’t believe Ann thought that would work for her. Proving once again that an over-inflated ego serves to help with sinking, not swimming.

The end of the arc years ago with Ann vs TJ ended with TJ showing her the door.

Darn! If she’d just been turned around, the door would have smacked her right in her … uh… buttocks!

So will Monday deal with a new relationship between Tom, Tiffany and Les, or will we jump to Brad, Toni & Shannon.

If you guys want to hear the REO Speedwagon song posted by ravonlea, here it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Csc6l4QLs

This far from over.

way to go!! now we wait for the revenge she will plan lol

I just realized that this means Tif and Les won’t be step siblings. Which opens up the possibility of romance – they’ve become pretty tight.

Quick, change the locks.

Cut to Luann sitting at the kitchen table, idly scrolling through her phone.

“Hi, I’m Luann, remember? Some part I got in this strip! Phooey!”

Oh, you know she’ll be back to wreak havoc.

Quick: Call a Locksmith to change all the locks.

She’ll be back with a large truck and a crew of movers.

Paybacks are a Biotch and so is Awful Annie.

Prepare for a string of false complaints to the Police and maybe a visit from the Swat Team.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 and Stay @home orders be…uh…DARNED…this ONE comic strip just managed to put me in a GOOD MOOD!!!

Wow! 765 comments! Quite a record!

I wonder if Les will be invited into the family since he doesn’t really have one (well, Mr Grey who has been absent for quite a while).

My favorite Luann strip, ever!

I like panel 1 with Tom placing his arm around his daughter; nice touch (literally).

Take a hike, Awful Annie Eiffel! —A long hike off a short pier….

(Yeah, I know; eventually She Will Return, like Jason or Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers….)

Ann Eiffel: back on the stroll.

Bye, Felicia!

I had to avoid this strip for a few days. I couldn’t stand the stress. POTUS has been enough of a stress on me. Regardless, this isn’t the last we have seen of Anne. Tiffany will still have major issues. We are not at happily ever after. This isn’t For Better or Worse.

I’m just gonna call this… “The Slam Heard ’Round the Luanniverse”. What say you?

Bout time….

820 comments. Yeah, nobody cares about Ann. Never bring her back.

I can’t tell you all how cathartic this week has been. I was worried when the pregnancy was announced there was NO end in sight for this storyline, and it exaservated one of the strips biggest issues; it’s pacing is inocistent with some storylines (Mr.Gray marrying Gunther’s mom), taking a year or so but being decently paced, and other storylines (Luann’s attraction to Jack, Luann’s relationship with Piro, Toni’s good for nothing brother constnatly dumping shanon on them with no repurccussions), taking forever.

This was one of them and it was a mixed bag: The good parts were Tiffany getting more character development by being forced to deal with being cut off and moving into the dorms, Les getting fleshed out a bit with the revelation Ann is his mom and him getting one over on her for Tiffany’s sake, and having characters besides Bernice actually be sympathetic to Tiff instead of treating her like she’s the same person she was in high school.. at least 2 years ago in universe time.

The bad was Ann herself, whose just too one dimensional an antagonist to work for YEARS at a time. She worked previously both because she was only in the strip in bursts and because female on male sexual harassment, which she engaged in in both storylines, was and still is rarely touched on in media, so at the very least greg was tackling a needed subject even if Ann herself was intolerable. But watching a thoroughly terrible and unlikable person constnatly win against someone whose grown as a person and continued to grow due to Anne’s actions.

My error the comment should have read: Ann: “Um what just happened?

Justice has been done!I love a happy ending!

YES! Finally! Good riddance!

HOORAY!

I can’t believe Tiffany actually won! Watch out for Ann’s revenge.

Tiffany has slowly been losing weight.

To paraphrase the immortal J. Peterman, Kudos, G&K, on a job… done. This felt anti-climactic and almost like an ending they came up with at the last minute. But at least its done and now we can move on. So I wonder whats up with Luann and Jack?

Don’t forget your clothes that are laying outside, in the yard!

I have re-read this week four times now. It just never gets old.

“Just desserts.” (Biiiiiig smiley face)

The time to applaud is now!

She’ll never learn. She always will lose in the end.

Yay! Down with the wicked witch!

She goes and marries one of Tom’s competitors to come back to ruin his business.
