Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 19, 2021

Darn sidetracking.

Luann is selfish.

Maybe she can give them an empty cardboard box like she did for Bernice that one year.

Or she can take her dad’s gift from a previous year off the shelf, re-wrap it and give it to him again, like she did a couple years ago.

And with more bags in the car.

The touching altruism of teenagers

Yet another installment of “Luann is a selfish twit who thinks only about herself.”

So, is she still employed?

With what money is this unemployed young lady buying all that?

Look at Frank and Nancy wrapping gifts together. And then Nancy is reading Frank a book. It’s so good to see a mother and her son getting along so well.

Selfish, Selfish and Selfish that’s our Luann!!

This is so mean-spirited that I wish there had been another moronic Brad and Frank decorate house panel.

Yay, very generous portions – stuff to clutter her room!

Well, you’re not supposed to admit that! This is when you’re supposed to lie! What on earth does she mean to accomplish by telling the truth? Actually she could be joking because it looks like she bought a tie, but if she is joking they should probably have been less subtle about it.

At least she had the decency to go the Greg Evans 12-19 store.

did she swim to a container ship cuz she sure didn’t get all that at any mall around here…

Never mind that whole “Luann is struggling financially now” arc. Shopping sprees are fun, and internal consistency is sooo lame!

Luann’s motto is it’s better to receive than to give

My family is the same way: impossible to buy for.

Ah, that time of year is here again. Time for me to make my annual trip to the Arco AM/PM minimart to do all my Christmas shopping. Everyone is getting a keychain, sunglasses, an energy shot, a lottery ticket, a lighter, and a Slim Jim® beef stick. Nothing but the best!

This is why Luann rarely shows up in her own strip anymore. The character is terrible.

Oh Luann … that’s a problem. As Prudence once told her, Luann has a problem buying clothes. She often ends up buying things that she will never wear just because she hopes for some special occasion, which never comes. I really hope that next year will give her some of these special occasions. Also, I hope she has found even something for her family and friends. Expecially for her annoying BFF/sister.

Who’s the blonde girl? Her hair is longer and a bit darker than Tiffany’s so I know it’s not her.

Luann is super greedy.

Wow…way to go luann (sarcasm)

Just for that, NO gifts from family!!

She’s been hanging around with Lila too much…

Well, on the bright side, or rather, slightly brighter side, at least we get to see Luann in a “Luann” comic strip on Sundays.

That’s a whole lotta of shoppin’ for someone that no longer has a job.

Did Luann pull a “Les” and “liberated” her parents credit cards? ;-)

They have to do a “let’s hate Luann” comic now and then, that way it’s easier to justify using other characters for the majority of the time. I’d say they did a good job of it today.

twenty somethings shop online for everything

Ok seriously how is Luann supposed to be a likable character? How is anyone in this strip likable?

At some point in time, when Luann was small, her parents should’ve cut her list down to one item to teach her some selflessness.

LuAnn still has a short attention span.

Well, she did say don’t expect much…

At least, Luann knows what SHE wants.

I can’t criticize it because it’s me.

I’ll bet she maxed out that new credit card that came in the mail.

No it’s not. One thing is clearly marked for Greg.

That girl needs therapy. But not retail therapy. Merry Christmas to all of you.

Friggin’ BRAT.

that’s not a good place to put your coffee mug Nancy…looks like it could easily tip over

Hate to see her VISA and MasterCard bills……

Thought Luann was newly unemployed(?) There’s at least a couple hundred bucks in those bags, unless she has taken up thrift store shopping.

I’ve never wrapped any gift with someone holding onto it, like Nancy is doing. The extra hands would just get in the way.

Luann still has a job at the after school care place. Her hours were cut in half, she was not fired.

Isn’t Karen the inspiration for Luann so is Karen a selfish person herself.

…and the immaturity and selfishness of Luann continues.

It is easy to shop for Luann since she wants everything

Somebody needs a talking to about credit card debt.

“See the door to the street Luann, thats for you too”.

Gimme, gimme, gimme. So much for the “season of giving.”

We should leave out the gift giving and lay on the hugs

Hay Nancy, here is something you and Bern can bash LuAnn for in your next talk.

I think this comic strip is still called Luann because she appears on Sundays. Who cares if she picks some things for herself. Remember, Nancy agreed with Bernice that Luann was a rotten person, good Mother? NO!! I am getting tired reading about Tiffany, Gunther, Bernice, Brad, etc.WHEN IS LUANN GOING TO GET A STORY AGAIN?!! I want to read that Luann gets a love interest, does well in school, she grows up with adult problems not this high school/college drama.

My family’s rule was no buying anything for yourself between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Frank and Nancy need to take all of those packages and wrap them up.

Flexibility toward self!!

If only the others were so easy to shop for!!

Wait… didn’t Luann lose her job recently?

Gee… you live in the same house with someone day after day and you can’t think of one thing that person might like.

She’s not selfish, she’s trying to throw them off by making them think she got them nothing, but she did.

tomorrow: Gunther, Bets, Irma, and Al: the excrement hits the oscillating air mover.

Sunday foible. For those who think this is a riff on Luann being selfish, NOT! It’s on the tendency of all of us to have a bit of selfishness, and some hypocrisy to so quickly accuse a digital cartoon character of that hidden trait we humans need to work on. Catharsis misplaced unfortunately.

Once I was old enough to actually make my own purchases, my mom always forbad me from shopping for myself from Halloween through Valentine’s Day, because she didn’t want me to run the risk of buying something for myself that she may have already gotten for me as a Christmas present in advance.

Why do adults buy presents for each other? That should only be for kids under 15 or so. Or maybe a beloved grandparent or and elderly parent.

Christmas is NOT about giving or getting presents, it’s about the birth of Christ! I’m not a Christian and even I understand that.

Luann is such a selfish dolt! She is regressing to about the age of Shannon, whose bad behavior must be spreading onto her!

Will this girl never mature?

Not cool.
