    Seriously – Does anyone discipline that child. No one is doing her a favor. She disobeys constantly. I hear no time outs. I hear nothing. I think everyone feels bad for her and lets it rip. Discipline her.

    This impossible kid reminds me of the original TV Mission Impossible, back in the early 70’s. Mr. Phelps would get a tape recorder with the bad news and then the machine would self destruct. Okay, bad news Shannon, feel free to go ahead and self destruct.

    Make Shannon pay for the ruined top. She must pay for it using her own belongings, which will be locked in a place Shannon has no access to. Shannon needs to pay with belongings that she dearly loves, so she will be motivated to earn them back by doing work. Allow her to earn her belongings back, but make it very difficult.

    Shannon’s behavior is enough to change Bernice’s mind about kids again. At least until she realizes that curiosity is a natural trait in kids (though, she probably wasn’t one for much of it when she was Shannon’s age.) Luann, just be glad that when those beaters rip your top, it’s just Bernice there, instead of say, Les.

    Now, Now, don’t get Mad Luann.

    And be thankful the dear sweet tyke didn’t put that “bender” in your hair.

    Instead, just be sure to send Jonah a Christmas card with a bill for DAMAGES inflicted by this “child.”

    Let’s see:

    1) That’ll be $2800 for a new couch on behalf of Brad, Toni and Old Smiley.

    2) $75.00 for a new blouse for You.

    3) $175 for a new “bender” for your mom and pop, because no doubt, the kid stripped the gears in that thing.

    4) $5000 for emotional pain and suffering, for ALL involve including many of the fans. No. STRIKE that. That fee would mean a lawyer gets involved and they’d help themselves to 30% of the damages. ;)

    Okay. So adjusted, that comes to $3,050.

    And be SURE to get Bernice to deliver the card to Jonah. After all, Bern just LOVES delivering BAD news.

    Just ask Tiffany……., ;)

    You will notice that Shannon and Ann are much poorer acting than any male on this comic. As much as everybody hated “Dirk”, he ended up redeeming himself. G&K (perhaps more G) had him grow. Shannon and Ann have no redeeming qualities. BTW, after the couch destruction and now with this mixer, it’s a mere question of time before G&K have her do something that will injure somebody. BTW, you might want to notice a modern trend with G&K, it appears they have no problem having their female characters hurting people or damaging property, much more so than the males in this strip.

    Shannon certainly has potential; but her window of opportunity is closing. Cute and creative are as welcome in a child as in a small puppy/kitten. That’s temporary. There’s a learning curve to becoming a loving member of a family. Kids are given a bit more time than dogs. Funny how the canines CAN learn faster; but learn they must. Shannon is becoming a slow learner; but who’s her mentor? Dare we guess at this point? Certainly not Scarlet.

    First of all I love Shannon. I think it’s juvenile for adults, many of whom have grandchildren themselves, to hate a comic caricature who is drawn to be challenging in a humorous way. I think even raising the hate issue here is puerile in the extreme. I know and have dealt personally with children who are antisocial, or psychotic, and trust me Shannon is not even in the same zip code that they are in. Even those misshapen children have to be approached not with hate. On the story itself, which hating Shannon makes one miss, and which GnK must laugh that they manage to get this kind of response. it defines both Luann, the patient loving one, many haters here consider a lazy, useless doofus, and an improving Bernice, which many here describe as a cold, unimaginative, plain, waste of comic digital ink. Sigh, hate is a more common human emotion that love or understanding, if this poll is to be taken as proof.

    It’s a comic strip but there still needs to be that relatable element to real life for it to be humorous. If she was over shown being punished for what she has done I think the attitude towards her might improve. Even Denice the Menace and Calvin are shown facing the repercussions for their actions as part of their strips. Blame the adults in the strip and the ones writing it.

    I am happy for Bernice. She overcame her fears and now has a good relationship with her brother and his kids. Seems Shannon’s shenanigans are overshadowing that.I hope Luann can do what Brad and Toni seem unwilling to do, discipline Shannon. Sit her in a chair in a quiet place and talk to her. Shannon is creative and energetic, but needs guidance, constantly. She may have other problems, but I’m not a therapist. She certainly seems to demand attention and needs to learn to wait and listen.Personally, she drives me nuts! :-)

    I totally do not understand the folks who compare Shannon to Ann!!!!! The two have totally different personalities and spirits. Shannon is wild and bratty at times because she’s had no consistent parenting. But Ann is a sociopath who will stop at nothing to connive her own way no matter who gets hurt. Shannon is not bent on hurting anyone. She is precocious but not mean spirited and I’ve never seen her be conniving in any way.

    I can’t stand her. I think she drags the strip down. She’s obnoxious all the time. And it bothers me that Toni and Brad take care of her—probably with no financial help from Shannon’s dad—without complaint or demanding Shannon’s father be a father. Greg and Karen should resolve that storyline, preferably that we never see Shannon again.

    Okay, I’ve read all of the comments about Shannon, and I’ve come to the conclusion that there are three camps where she is concerned:

    Camp 1 — “I hate Shannon.”

    Camp 2 — “I like Shannon.”

    Camp 3 — “I like Shannon, however…"

    I’m in that third “camp”.

    A couple weeks ago, I speculated (but didn’t officially go out on a limb and predict) that G&K were using the painted couch as throw-away punchline and that we might never hear any more about it. Today, just to be a contrarian to what I’ve seen in a lot of the comments above, I’ll go out on a limb and predict that Luann will impose some sort of consequence on Shannon for today’s faux pas with the “bender.”

    If I’m wrong, well, it won’t be the first time. And in any case, what I won’t do is go on a rant about what terrible writers the Evanses are and how they’re torturing us poor captive readers and what a crying shame it is because Luann has such potential to be a great comic strip if only someone could fire their sorry behinds and put meeeeeeeee in charge.

    Brad: You don’t. You wait. Put it down, Shannon.

    [Gurnge. Whirr. Buzzzzzzz]

    Brad: SHANNON! Oh no! Yeoooooooooowwwww!

    (10 years later. Brad’s own child is sitting on his lap, a few days before Christmas)

    Child: Is that what happened to your hand, Daddy? You used to have 5 fingers?

    Brad (smiles wistfully) Yes, honey. But I managed to get along with 3 fingers for years now. At least I still have my thumb.

    Child: What happened to Shannon?

    Brad: Well, her Daddy felt bad about this for a short while. Then he bought an RV and took Shannon with him. He drove all around the country to be an actor, and she went with him. We never babysat her again, and he never asked. We still exchange Christmas cards, but that’s it.

    Child: Oh Daddy! I’m so sorry about your hand!

    Brad: Well, Mommy and I learned a lot that day. No more permissive parenting. So we raised you right. No touching paint, or power tools, or kitchen appliances without permission.

    Child: Yes, Daddy! I know! I don’t touch grownup stuff!
