Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 25, 2021

oh, them Beatles

What’s that all about?

Brilliant! LOVE!!

Thanks, Greg. Now you’ve ruined the Beatles for me.

Bernice: Getting better

Luann: Not a second time

Just a Day in the Life Luann

Too cute, every line is from a Beatle tune. If you don’t catch it, kindly don’t get annoyed, just “Let it be”!

Isn’t Beatles day JUNE 25th?

This is one of the better strips on Sunday in awhile.

Clever…

A misplaced April Fool’s Day strip?

I’m grateful that it wasn’t another Sunday ’toon about Shannon creating a mess of some kind that Brad and Toni will pretend is not happening, and posters will foam at the mouth…

Going back a day, Bets to Gunther: Don’t Bother Me

I think Greg must have gotten out his Beatles Compilation disk set. From Time – Life…

Number 9, Number 9, Number 9…

Why don’t we do it in the road

Very well done!!

HUH?

I can’t remember, does Frank have a job?

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Frank and Nancy are enjoying the days of legalized marijuana

In reference to Friday’s strip, something in the way she moves. . .

Hey Jude, Please leave today’s strip in the Strawberry Fields Forever!

Awesome! All the Beatle titles is Awesome!

Good one!

Powerpuff Girls did this better, twenty years ago.

Ugh. One overrated 60s band. Yuck.

Bad Boy. Bad To Me

“Hello Little Girl” is waaaaay obscure!

This is the best “annoying-funny family moment” ever! Even Bernice is amused♡. Really nice!

It’s all too much. I want to hold your hand, long tall Sally. Run for your life, with a little help from my friends.

Everybody’s got something to hide (except me and my monkey).

No idea what this is about.

I wrote a short story where every chapter title was a Beatles song.

Hmmmm!!! Beatles songs!!!! She’s like what the????

At least they are not back in the USSR!

well done!!!!!

“Baby, (The guy I met at the bar the other night) is a Rich Man, too!!”

“It’s just another Day (In Pitts)

“Bets is singing in the dead of niiiiiight!”

“She took those pirate things, and learned to fly!

“For part of his life,”

“Gunther (and a couple of Us) have been waiting, for this moment to a-rrive!”

“Born a poor young city boy,”

“Annie Eiffel’s son!”

“Look! There’s her card! I’ll just buy a bunch of stuff for everyone!”

“Naaaaaah!” – Les

The End? Tomorrow Never Knows!

The Beatles….that’s so YESTERDAY. LOL

And thus “Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, life goes on…”

C’mon Luann, give your mom a break, she loves you!

Must be a great routine.

Oh, Good Night

Lucy’s in the sky. With diamonds yet.

On her way to Strawberry Fields …. forever

I guess they used it because it fits the gag, but “Hello Little Girl” is pretty obscure. It’s a Lennon-McCartney song that the Beatles never cut. Gerry and the Pacemakers covered it.

How the heck are they going to fit in “Octopus Garden”

Hey Pud!

Very nice G&K! Don’t let anyone tell you “ You can’t do that.”

Must of had a creative block that day.

Bernice see the humor, “it’s time to move”.

Let’s cut through Strawberry Fields over to Penny Lane…..

Q: When did Paul McCartney write Silly Love Songs?

A: 1962-2021

I saw the red door, I did not paint it black!

All I am saying is give the Beatles a chance.

Well done!

If Mon/Dad are about 50, they would have been in high school in the mid/late 80s and they likely were listening to the Beastie Boys, NWA, Metalica

Where’s the pesticide, we’ve got The Beatles.

\\//_

LoL kept thinking, why does this sound so familiar? Great tribute

Now I’ll be having ear worms the rest of the day. Good day sunshine, indeed.

Okay… At first, I was confused and it took me a second… but I have to admit… I’m amused!

Is this a beetles medley?

Gear Luann,

♬You were only waiting for this moment to arise♬

Beatles songs…every sentence is a song title.

Greg, and, company must have had a Beatles groove going on when they wrote today’s strip. (or, spent to much time listening to SirriusXM’s Beatles channel.)

All you need is love and your bird can sing.

OK, is it Paul’s or Ringo’s birthday today?

Perhaps Luann and Bernice will walk through an octopus’s garden on the way to their yellow submarine

Paul McCartney returns to Penny Lane.

Fun poll: When and where were you when you first became aware of the Beatles? Me: summer 1964. “She Loves You” was blaring on the PA at a park I frequented.

Pardon me, I have to go check my mojo filter. Ku-ku-ka-choo. :D

Well done Greg. Its Been a Long Time, (but) You Know My Name… Look Up the Number

Sounds like Frank is stuck in a Beatles moment.

Thank you for doing this!

I should save this strip for my friend Sam who knows all the Beatles’ lyrics by heart.

Okay, I laughed.

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free…

Boomers references lost upon the “young”

So wonderful! What a tribute! And I love how the other commenters are finding more and more lines from Beatles songs.

??

Luann most likely wouldn’t understand music culture references from the ’60s.

Love It! What a clever idea! Well done!

Someday monkey won’t play piano song…play piano song.

Nancy and Frank are Beatling her, heehee!

It needed to be done. Now it’s over.

For the last line, Luann leaving the house should have switched over to “I can’t get no satisfaction.” I always preferred the Stones to the Beatles.

When Gunther told Bets, he loved her, Yesterday, he confirmed his role as The Fool on The Hill. Sorry, Gun. You have to Hide Your Love Away.

I don’t know the one about “a loser in life.” Which song is that?

LOL!!

Just what the world needs. More Beatle references. As if there were never any other artists. Familiarity breeds a neutering of impact.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cupThey slither while they pass they slip away across the universe down the long and winding road that leads to your door.

Interesting. Anyway, back to coo-coo-ca-chewing my toast as I already drank a cup.

Don’t worry if sometimes we don’t agree. We can work it out!

Do David Bowie some Sunday!

Somebody OVERDOSED on Beatles songs! Get the “Monkees” vaccine, stat!

At least it’s not Beatles based pun like in ‘Pearls Before Swine’.

I get it, but I still have to ask, “Why?”

We all really do live in that Yellow Submarine.

That was cool!

Goo goo g’joob

> “What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times… all things are as they were then, and you were there.”

60s revival. I can’t get, no, satisfaction…..

Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles final album, Let It Be.

I wonder if you read this strip backwards if there’s a message about Paul being dead?

So G Evans must be a big Beatles fan.

ok, which Beatle’s birthday is it?

Beatles.

Frank Zappa would have been better. “Could not tell where she was coming from but I just met a lady called Dynamo Hum. She strolled on over and said ‘look here, bum, I got a $40 bill saying you can’t make me……, just can’t do it.’”

Well, that was a clever diversion!

Haha! Good one today Greg. Very clever!

Hey we need this break friends, it’s been a bit fraught in Luannverse and the comments, me being a contributor, have been off the hook too; lets dig this fellow old farts.

Someone’s been listening too much to the Beatles Channel on SiriusXM.

Another Sunday in Pleasant Valley?

How many Luann readers are actually old enough to listen to The Beatles?

Last panel, Luann could’ve said: Help, I need somebody ;)

Fairly sure Luann wants them in a Yellow Submarine, and it sinks!

Luann should’ve just looked at them and hollered “GET BACK!”

Couldn’t find my comment, maybe mis-posted, so trying again:Hey Luann, don’t make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better (to the tune of Hey Jude).

Love it! Just hoping another Beatle didn’t die today or something. But it’s still a tribute.

Here, there, and everywhere . . .

Don’t forget The Rutles’ hits: “All You Need Is Cash” and “Get up and Go”.

:-/

Love it. I have one that Trixie in Hi and Lois did in the 90s.

Well, that certainly covered a bunch of Beatles’ titles…

Their conversations are “The Beatles” references.

Another Day In The Life….

Every day is like a Sunday.

Long and Winding Road to be sure.

In panel 3, we have a “Fab Four”…!

Coming up: Bets and Gunther make up. Gun breaks out the Norwegian Wood.

Helter Skelter

“Misery Train”

Does not compute.

332 as of right now. There were 331 comments before I made mine. Carry on everyone.

Love the last panel.

The Beatles are still popular everywhere, for example, in Mexico, where I live!

These are not just Lyrics but TITLES to their songs. I admit “Hello Little Girl” threw me.

Maybe they’ve were listening to the Beatles channel on Sirius XM?

I feel fine. And I love her.

Last Sunday strip with Toni and Shannon had 257 post and this Sunday has 348 with this post.

On this day in 1964, the Beatles had 14 singles on the American Chart

During the ’60’s, I was really worried about what was going on in the world (Vietnam, environmental issues, etc) and wondered about the future. I never thought I would look back on those days as being less worrisome than today is…

L

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great beat to start the morning!

Look both ways before crossing Abbey Road

SO what’s next?

♫ Come Monday, It’ll be all right ♫

OR

♫ But that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone ♫ ?

:-/

don’t be cruel (still the king)

So much Sarcasm, so Early in the Morning.

I actually can’t believe there are this many comments. I guessed maybe 100-200. It would have been Frank and Nancy’s parents who listened to the Beatles, and by association, they heard it. This was no Pearls Before Swine pun cleverness, though.

Virtuoso dialoguing today. Let it be.

Naysayers, please be warned – As far as I’m aware, Maxwell still has his silver hammer! :-D (One of my favorites, though I’m not sure why – kind of a weird song!)

Brilliant!

Per chance, is there a Beatles anniversary of some sort today that prompted this?

This bird has flown.

And your bird can sing.

That brought me so much joy! I’m thinking of having Alexa play each and every one for me! Thanks, Greg, for such a fun strip. Really, I needed that.

This dialogue sounds like something you get from a machine learning chatbot that only learns from Beatle song lyrics…

The Beatles are fantastic, but I cannot give up ultimate praise for Johann Sebastian Bach, who is the reigning King of all music.

I just got done listening to Rubber Soul and Revolver on my new Technics turntable and new Denon receiver. True story.

Oh God I just realized I’m 64.

EXCELLENT!

CLASSIC!

Good job, Evans! <3
