    You took away Kobe Bryant, then Chadwick and Trebek. And for nearly nine minutes, a cop kneeled on George Floyd’s neck. A worldwide epidemic left us holed up in our homes. We had to wear masks always, when we dared to roam. We won’t be sad to see you go, as you might guess from this verse. But one thing that I’m certain of, next year could hardly be worse.

    Nice poem, We haven’t had a poem from Luann in quite a while and they are usually pretty good. 2020 has been a long and wearying year. If we can get through January 2021 things have to look better.

    Este año nos ha golpeado mucho: COVID-19, incendios forestales en Australia, Brasil, California; un conato de a tercera guerra mundial, dengue, explosiones en Beirut, polvo del Sahara, avispas gigantes, monolitos, entre otras cosas. Esperemos que empezando el anio a nadie se le ocurra decir: “2021, sorprendenos”, a ver si asi nos va mejor.

    Just Imagine a year where We all got along.

    So. Try to get along with your neighbor in 2021.

    I’m not very poetical, but it’s just lyrical to wish for 2021 to be more hopeful, as 2020 was so hopeless.

    Is Puddles waving the white flag of surrender? I hate to think we’ve given up the fight against COVID-19. As for the other thing wrong with 2020, well, that problem ended November 6 (thank God!).

    Nothing unites warring people like a common enemy.

    2020 has generously given us many reasons to unite… systemic oppression, climate change, pandemic, economic meltdown.

    Did it work? Or do we still need an invasion by space aliens?

    Keep your fingers crossed. It can do no harm. But wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your social distance, get vaccinated as soon as you can, and try to emulate Anne Frank’s belief; “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.” Happy New Year.

    All the bullying and hate has been from the left. You can’t name anything from the person you are referring too. Unless you consider the highest employment rate for minorities ever bullying. Unless you consider negotiating prescription price especially insulin lower bullying. Unless you consider negotiating new trade deals to help American farmers bullying. Unless you consider working with companies to produce a vaccine and therapeutics in record time bullying. I give up because facts won’t matter to you. But if you want to discuss politics go to mallard filmore and leave us alone.

    Gonna be a lot of disappointed people out there when they realize the pandemic is still upon us and getting worse because of the flood of people that just had to go somewhere over the holidays instead of helping reduce the spreading.

    It seems to me that Luann (who is wearing a mask!) is referring to Covid-19 here. She is not making any political comment that I can see. To me, the Trump haters are REALLY reaching today. But no matter! Soon, we will begin a new year, and like Luann, I hope it will be a better one of healing from this illness and being able to do all the things a free society needs to do to grow and thrive. Peace to you all——even those who hate. Happy coming New Year!!!!!!!

    One of the attractive aspects of the Luannaverse has been the absence intense-political discussion. I really resent people bringing their hatred on to this site. Hopefully we can return to the famil-style strip in the future.

    As far as effect on the public at large goes, 2020 blew it from around day 75; i.e., mid-March, when the quarantines first went into effect. But the general indictment remains valid. 2020 sucks, big time!

    So for 2021 I would like to see somehow the adoption of Shannon to Brad and Toni. Brad and Toni are looking out to be good (almost foster)parents. Maybe and adoption and Toni getting pregnant accidentally for that story-line.
