Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 29, 2020

Yep, Leslie is having too much fun already.

The intermission is over – back to Luann and Bernice.

Wakanda forever.

Aw, cut Les some slack. He’s starting to open up. Besides, weird is good!!!

Les? That Zorro outfit is (SNORT) You! ;)

Living the Dream- Chadwick Boseman RIP

Luann and Bernice are on to Les…

That is so poignant! That he can’t be himself until he believes that nobody knows it’s him. That he’s so scared to depart from a persona that nobody likes anyway. Heck—he might as well go for broke now—like it or not he’s out.

Earlier I had seen that tunic with the belt with the big X and wondered which X-Man costume that might be. Maybe an early Jean Grey… I was not expecting it to be part of a Zorro costume because Zorro does not begin with an “X.”

Was nice to see Luann and Bernice spending some time together and provide our daily dose of snark.

So what’s head for next week? Still too soon for Tiffany. Bets and company seem to have used all their material. Maybe Nancy at the Fuse? Maybe Luann by herself starting on an adventure? Please don’t make it Bernice hooking up with Jack!

Those eyes on Gunther…. Brrrrr

Wonder if Bets and Gunther noticed Les prancing around in the background while they were talking? And if so, how would you think they’d react once they sat down and watched the playback??

So Gun & Bets actually have a valid premise for their podcast.

Zorro rides into the darkness.

After two years of college, Maybe it’s time for Luann to start working at the Fuse?

Okay, =if= the arc were to continue on Monday, which of course isn’t a given—is Les going to get positive feedback from the viewers, or negative?

Must be your distinctive chin, Les.

I still say Punk should have made an appearance, maybe as Streaky, Supergirl’s super-cat. All he’d need would be a cape. Of course Streaky’s a ginger—okay, so Punk would need a wig, too.

Three-fer. Les has fun and acts weird, Gun and Bets seemed to not mind, and had a successful show, and we see Luann and Bernice, apparently living in the DeGroots, being the friends they still are, watching Les being weird.

Earlier in the week (when I suggested Gunther as Aquaman, TJ as Loki, and Shannon as a young Harley Quinn) I was unable to think up a suitable character for Bernice to cosplay. Any suggestions?

Leslie Knox might give up his professional dishwasher job to become a podcaster doing weird stuff while not being weird.

Nobody else has said it, but this was funny.

Hmmm. In panel 1, the rag on Les’ chin is gone. In panel 2, it returns.

.

Puddles is evidently not enthused. Down, boy.

Aha! He was providing a fun backdrop with their permission. So that’s why Bets helped with his first costume. How sweet!

Yesterday, Leslie Knox was a musketeer and today he was Xorro.( Google Xorro )

Rest In Power, Chadwick.

At least Les had fun. Now he just has to sit back and see how many hits he got. We know at least two people watched him. This could be the start of something big.

Perhaps Les just realized that he has a calling for theater! "Hi-diddly-dee….an actor’s life for ME! "

Awesome! Les enjoyed doing cosplay and everything seems to indicate that he will continue to do it ♡! He can’t fool those who know him, but others… yes. Bets and Gunther look at him as you look at someone who just doesn’t understand anything. Hilarious!

Les, you look like something out of a censored adaption of a Shakespeare play or an even more censored version of Three Musketeers.

Isn’t that the point of cosplay events? Halloween for “grown-ups.” I wonder what the “treats” are for them. “Acting weird?” 8^ \

That’s NOT Gunther’s chin in panel 2! See: https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2020/08/24

Oh, the ignominy of it? Gunther has become “Gun!"

In frame 1 Les’s goatee is missing, give him a haircut, and a smile and he wouldn’t look like he hated the world.

They have a convert!

So much for incognito there Les!

We’re all weird. It works, no worries.

Les has shifted from his cunning persona into being a good and funny chap after the kittens came into his life.

Now that’s funny!

2000 viewers? Does Tiffany know about this? So many people, and she has soooo much to show.

So Bets is a red-shirt.

must be Southern California dialect. I’ve never said " ‘cuz" , if anything, I’ve pronounced it “coz”.

Good to see Les enjoying something in life. Another benefit of giving Ann Eiffel the boot.

It’s actually refreshing to see Les having a good time.

most excellent

Luann looks sad. Why does Love have to be so hard??

I think it’s kind of sad that so many people are so unhappy with who they are that they pretend to be someone else. Instead of putting on some silly costume, maybe they should try changing the part of themselves that makes them unhappy. It’ll work better in the long run.

1st time I’ve laughed on this depressing morning

I’d be willing to bet that Gunther and Bets didn’t know Les was doing that behind their backs. They don’t look happy with him.

So much for animinity! Lol! That was great! Wonder what other reactions will be? When do they read any viewer comments? I’ll wager Les develops a fan base who don’t think he’s weird. It’s nice to see Les being positive about something. Hope Luann and Bernice don’t deflate him.

Oh, Les! Oh, Pancho!

Les is a wannabe Zorro (mark of the Z), but comes across to those who see through his “disguise” as more of a Weirdo (mark of the W).

Well, be that as it may, Gunther and Bets seem to have got through their podcast in good shape (for sure, Bets is in Good Shape; Gunny’s is all built into the suit)….

EVERYONE knew it was Les. Which he will find out on his next workday

Sunday : Frank is “frank” with Nancy.

Bernice calling someone else weird? Have you looked in a mirror lately Bern?

That’s weird! :P :P :D

I really wouldn’t have guessed the Les was into Zorro.

Dr. Octopus, maybe.

This is very true – finding the people who share you passion – excellent

Les has found the outlet for his inner voice!

Zorro is an improvement on yesterday. But it never occurred to Les that people he and Gunther know are going to watch Gunther and Bets’s show I see.

Does anyone else see Les’ first line as "That was awe so me ?

As a 60 year old Obi-wan cosplayer, I totally loved this week’s plot…

Cosplay frees people to act with less inhibition without resorting to alcohol. Alcohol frees people from all those angst-ridden wardrobe changes.

Anyone could tell it was Les!

When I look at Wes, all I see is the Scarlet Pumpernickel.
