Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 07, 2022

It ain’t lemonade.

It’s a Puddles puddle!

’taint lemonade, Tiffany (good timing though)

Way to piss Tiff off

Ein is great, but it’s SO tied to the Corgi breed. (See you, Space Data Dog!)

Bets’ Favorite …

https://cowboybebop.fandom.com/wiki/Ein

Finally! The fourth of our quadra ditzettes has arrived. Let’s see how Puds reacts to her… if at all.

Actually, I think Tiff may bring the solution to this arc.

And Tiffany walks right into a puddle. Will she remember Puddles now.

Catfight in 3.. 2.. 1..

Come on, Tiff. Be the good friend you can be. Get Puddles back to his family.

He’s not your “dorm dog”, Dez. Get that idea right out of your head.

Tiff, please tell Larry, Moe and curly who Puddles belongs to.

Yep. I knew they hadn’t thought about walks. Or probably food and water.

Today is my mother’s 100th birthday!

Has Tif ever seen Puddles before, other than the ones like that on the floor?

It’s a puddle of piddle.

Meanwhile, Tiffany discovers the reason for his name…a puddle of piddle in the doorway middle!

I bet Puddles will hear his name and run to Tiffany.

Dang beat me to it. But Ein was a different breed, Welsh Corgi. Loved me some Bebop too.

Three feet to the right of the puddle (just out of frame), Steffi will remark, “Ooh, look! A Payday® Bar!”

The pee is about to hit the fan in the dorm!!!

Not Housebroken? But where did Puddles go?

Puppy? Does Puddles have a portrait in the Attic?

Stef: Hey, let’s name him Puddles because he pees all over the place! Tiff: I have a frenemy who has a dog named Puddles. They even look alike!

Not Payday . . fish eating smaller fish.

“Let’s call him Urine!”

Happy Birthday, ma’am!

This makes no sense at all. Steffi, yes, as she is supremely selfish, but the others? And Gets not sharing online? And Puddles not barking to go out?

I do that too. My parents would be 107 now. Nice to give them a thought.

I thought that Puddles “residency” was supposed to be a secret on account of the school’s “No Dorm Pets” Rule?

Well way to keep a secret by having Pud in the hallway where GAW and everybody can SEE him, ladies.

Come on, Tiff.

Identify Puddles and END this, please.

That is of course, IF Tiffany knows/remembers “who” Puddles IS.

Seems We’ll KNOW for sure tomorrow……., ;-)

Sick ’em Tiffany.

Also, my granddaughter’s 15th.

Depends if she’s been deGrootified. If so, her reaction could range from…

“Luann! What an irresponsible airhead. Well, I guess this will teach her a lesson. Time for my shower.”

To, “Huh. That looks exactly like Luann’s dog, Puddles. But, he looks like he’s happy. Time for my shower.”

To, “I wonder how Luann’s dog Puddles got here? Well, she’s a kindly owner. I’m sure she’ll come looking for him sooner or later. Time for my shower.”

Now we know how “Puddles” got his name!!

Now, it’s time for Tiffany to take him home—and risk the wrath of her roomies.

HOORAY, Tiffany is here and she’s already seen an evidence that might help her remember Luann’s dog name! Or, at least, a proof that the lil dog can’t stay in their room because her roommates are quite incompetent with dogs. Bets suggesting to call Puddles Ein, like the super smart dog of the anime masterpiece “Cowboy Bebop”, is something unexpected but that makes a lot of sense and is awesome.

Well he’s Puddles after all! Tiffany, hilariously, might help ID Puddles. but one thing likely to happen is that more will happen.

Dis is gonna drag out allllllll weeeeeekk …. Ain’t it?

3/4 of the suite residents are so happy! Bet Dez cleans up the puddles.

Call him Pee-Pee. Won’t Tiffany recognize Puddles? I can’t remember.

It’s urine. Use one of Stef’s sweaters to soak it up, then put it back without telling her. >:^D

Notice how it’s right outside Tiffany’s door?

It’s a puddle. Living up to his name. If Bets gets around to the name of “Puddles”, then Pud will probably answer to it. Tiffany appears a little heavier in that fleecewear.

Well that settles it, Stephanie is definitely a Southern girl. We name all of our male Labs Duke.

And now we know…

Soon everyone in the dorm will say the girls smell like dog pee. A few, however, will say it’s the other way around.

Yup, they’re about to find out why his name is Puddles.

Although shouldn’t he be housebroken at his age??

Wow, college students who don’t know about pet chips… says a lot about the poor intelligence and awareness of today’s youth.

And now you know why they don’t allow dogs in the dorms.

They tried to ban Frat boys for the same reason but donors (many of whom were Frat boys) made a big stink over that one.

On Saturday there was this question: “Since when is Puddles brown?” Answer: At least since 2008 for the daily strips when the color spec sheet was made for United Features. For you printer types, Puddles is C20 M40 Y60 K0. Same as long gone Delta, same as Bern’s hair.

So, Tiffany rescues the dog and becomes a luann insider? The transformation is complete.

Puddles by any other name, would smell as sweet. Which is not very ;)

Congrats! My mom made 100. It’s quite a feat!

This sorry thread has reached a new low. Dog pee? Please…

Didn’t he just come from the dog park?

Now I know why they call him, “Puddles.”

Snuggles… cuddles… puddles.

My mother and father’s family has a history of longevity. My father had two brothers and a sister that made it to their nineties, and my mother’s three sisters and three of her brothers, along with herself and my grandmother lived into their nineties. Also, I had another aunt by marriage that got her driver’s license renewed on her 99th birthday. A lot of history there.

Territorial markings, Tiff

It’s been a long time since the world of Luann has been a happy, light hearted place. Let me know when Tiff is back in the shower.

It’s one of many… Puddles.

To sallymargret my mother lived to 102. enjoy her while you can. Tell your mom Happy Birthday.

Looks like “Puddles” it is!!!!

And what name would rhyme with “Cuddles,” I wonder? It fuddles my mind. Wait! Wait! “Muddles?” How about that one?

So in all this time, Luann still never fully housetrained him? Because I get that dogs have accidents when they’re anxious or scared, but a quick look at Puddles’ expression in panel one shows that this isn’t the case here. And by just letting the dog pee wherever he wants without cleaning it up (or possibly even noticing it) these three numbskulls just showed why there’s rules against pets in the dorms. Once again we have a full-blown “Idiot Plot” on our hands.

So these geniuses didn’t take him out, next they’ll feed him fast food and then they’ll get to clean up his puke and diarrhea poop. I would like to see them doing that. It would serve them right for stealing someone’s pet.

Ho, boy! Now we know how Puddles got his name…..twice! Lol! Tiffany should remember Puddles, but will she? If the truth does come out, will Steff agree to give him up? Hmmmmm. A week to sort this? =:-o

Where’s “back home?”

I think Tiffany is too self-centered to remember who Puddles belongs to. I predict that Gunther will come to visit and recognize him and take him home.

Now it will take a few days for Tiffany to discover Puddles and return him to Luann.

closer and closer…..

Even Dez? Not only are they not bringing him to a vet or shelter to check for a microchip, he’s now just automatically belongs to them?

I just hope that Tiffany knows him or that he knows her?

Even if/when someone does recognize Puddles, I’m betting selfish Stef won’t want to give up “her” dog.

And If it’s Gunther who ID’s Puddles, then Bets will side with Stef, because she hates/is jealous of all of Gunther’s female friends that he’s known “since the third grade.”

ta da!

It looks like Puddles will at least get her original name back.

That is a cheerleader outfit Stefi is wearing. You can see the Moonie U logo on the upper right part of the shirt.

If only one of them had a popular internet account that could reach well over a thousand people at once to see if anyone of them recognize the dog or maybe the dog family. One that is connected to one of them 24/7. Sure would have come in handy right now. Yup, sure would have been beneficial to have one post a picture of their new doggie. That might work better than an advertisement on a crammed college board.

He does have a very satisfied look on his face!

Since the Evans’ are determined to be cruel and rude I predict they will show Puddles being taken by a school janitor and dropped off out past the city limits. That is my opinion of them.

Finally! Someone who will step in…er, recognize what’s his name.

Puddles looks strangely satisfied with himself in panel 1. Living up to his name.

Well,they didn’t pick his name out of a hat!!

And “Cuddles” isn’t bad.

How much is that hawnd dawg in the winder

The one with the long mangy tail

How much is that hawnd dawg in the winder

I do hope that f lea bag’s for sale.

Hence the name Puddles. I called it. He WAS looking for a spot to go potty.

cue ominous music Tiffany will recognize Luann’s dog.

Luann and Tiffany declared a truce. What happened in High School belongs To the past.

Tiffany has not agreed to having a dorm doggie. She will question who will keep the floor clean? Who will paid for trips to the vet?

December 26, 1985, Puddles was a Christmas Gift.

Puddles piddles!

I think Tiff will recognize Puddles, suggest they return him, this will cause friction with Steffi and maybe Bets, then Dez will resolve the issue.

Looks like it’s going to be up to Tiffany. If she returns Puddles to Luann, this could bring them one step closer to becoming actual friends.

Tiffany needs to nip this in the bud. (Strange that she is the voice of reason here?)

Ein? Ein is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. But I guess it’s less cliche’, lots of Anime fans get Welsh Corgis and name them Ein. I grew up with a Pembroke Welsh Corgi long before they became ultra-popular on the Internet. I’m 37, and my family must have gotten our Corgi (named Happy) around the late eighties; he lived until 2004.

For those of you who don’t know: Ein is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a genius character in “Cowboy Bebop.”

Does Tiffany know puddles or is gunther coming over?

A few strips ago it looked like Dez was on the verge of remembering who Puddles belonged to.

Cuddles is the name of the stray cat Luann found and gave to her little old lady friend because her dad was allergic.

Dez looks like she and Irma Gray get their clothes at the same place,

Puddles has been taken, ladies! (That goes for you as well, Tiffany.)

Rhymes with “Cuddles,” Tiff.

BTW, looking kinda plump again. Exercise and diet, kiddo!

I’m pulling for Mother to make it a couple of more months so she can hit 100. She’s slow, but still moving!

I thought Puddles was house trained….

Preview for tomorrow’s strip:

“Secret ‘Dorm Dog’: The Idiocy Continues”

Oooh, love the Cowboy Bebop reference!
