Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 15, 2022

It looks like Karen and Greg have been reading our comments!

I suppose tomorrow Dez will say it was a big bird that hit the glass?

So who thinks Tom hasn’t told Tiff about his vault? LOL

Dez, Bets, and Stef sure aren’t helping Tiff’s cause

Ugh, so tired of Tiffany, I want to see more LuAnn with a better friend then Bernice!And Brad and Toni.

The drone didn’t find a vault, and so left.

Recalls the parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant somehow … ✨

No vault?! … The dungeon then. There must be a dungeon.

No "Scrooge McDuck Vault ". What a disappointment?

Three amateur sleuths, not a single logical thought between them.

Tiff needs to ask them to go home now.

Maybe , a ice projectile?

This broken window thing has been dragged out for so long that I can only imagine that Greg has something big planned as the denouncement. But what can that be? Since the window is too small for most people to crawl through I suspect it must be a snake. The snake Ann Eiffel,

Okay, Bets. You think someone climbed in through a second-story window. Go back outside and find ladder bottom impressions on the ground to prove your theory. And the way Tiff yelled, there is a vault. She is alarmed and is trying to rein them the other way. She doesn’t want them to know there is a vault. Dez has been quiet. Methinks she will say something sensible and provable.

It seems like Dez might have baked some brownies for Bets and Stef before they went over to Casa Tiffany.

Dez, Stef and Bets are not helping.

Just to be clear, since so many incongruities have been pointed out, the bars would not bend in that shape if it were merely a projectile passing through them. They would be pointed back into the hallway. The energy required to form that U-shape would have broken adjacent windows and done additional damage. So there! 8^ )

This arc is turning into an exercise in futility!!!

Welcome to The Tiffany Mystery Theater. At least the ladies are working together and not fighting. Now they must explore for evidence or any clues of misdeeds. See if a big tree is near enough to pop that window in a wind storm. Travel in pairs for safety. Hope that the lights don’t go out. Okay, Greg and company, you’re on your own, I don’t do mysteries.

No vault? Well, that might keep Geraldo Rivera from investigating.

No vault? Can’t believe she doesn’t trust them with her vault info.

Stef: “OK, everyone check your underwear, we have looked everywhere else and are out of guesses…”

Bets, what are you wearing? lol

After Dez’s remark, I have to admit that the idea of a thief is getting less and less plausible. Maybe it was really an animal that broke the glass? Maybe a large bird that has nested somewhere inside the house? I wouldn’t mind seeing an Albatross (or a wild animal) attack Stef, but does a metal bar break so easily?

I thought we’d actually have gotten someplace by this late in the week. But all we have are the “It’s ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE” twins have a ditz fest.

So whose vault is it?

Say, maybe they should, I don’t know…clean up the glass and cover the hole?

Clues are getting more exaggerated each moment. Maybe a former customer from the storage business has programmed the Manse’s location into the drone. Other commentors have hinted at security breaches with Bets’ advertising over unsecured websites.

Dumb, dumber, and dumber-er…

It’s the bending the bars back is the one item that jams all theories, since no projectile object or feathers etc. were found near by. Unless the bars are not that strong to begin with.

Hmm, a drone that broke glass and did not immediately break? Must be a comic strip!

The window was already broken when they moved in. Tiff’s not that observant.

Snow ball?

and a drone would break it’s rotors in the ramming. meaning the wreck would be outside.

Perhaps, no vault. What about a safe?

They’re forgetting, it could have been a sledgehammer, not a projectile. No one entered! Just someone up to mischief.

There’s definitely a vault. You think Stef’s father would tell her there’s a vault?

Wait, tge window has been broken for a whole month? When will you get it fixed, Tiff?

Don’t these bougie snobs have a surveillance system?

It’s a wonder the police didn’t come up with some idea about what happened.

No need to shout Tiffany. Steph is being nice to you, and helpful…in her own quirky way, and there is most likely a wall safe in the master suite that you don’t know about. (Personally, I like the way they took the “mean girl” attitude out of Steph’s character). They certainly are quite the sleuths! Their ideas are right out of the movies! Maybe the window repairman will be a gorgeous man named Maverick and he can explain (finally) how the window got broken, right after he makes his grand appearance on Saturday. Anyone who still cares how the window got broken will have to wait until next week…or next month.

No vault, people. And if there was, Ann Eiffel would have cleaned it out when she was there.

With all of this speculation about a vault, maybe Geraldo Rivera will pop up in the strip next week.

Still boring

I fly drones commercially. Two things wrong here. The drone’s anti-collision feature would prevent it from flying into an object, even if the operator wanted it to, and even if that feature was disabled (which it can be) the drone would destroy itself on impact with the window. The plastic (or carbon fiber) propellers would break off and the drone would drop like a rock. Then again… maybe this was a drone from Wile E. Coyote’s Acme company.

Drat. That eliminates drones.

I still think an inanimate object went thru that window.

Although, on Luannfan.com, Greg’s original draft of the broken window scene indicated that whatever broke it made an abrupt right turn into Tiff’s bedroom.

So unless the object was round like a golf ball or baseball, it could have been (shudder) alive.

A live animal capable of smashing thru that window without permanent damage or being cut plus surviving without food or water for a month? (yeah, yeah, I know. “It flew out of the broken window to get food”)

A live animal that has made a nest in Tiffany’s bed. The gals discover it. And after their initial SCREAMING, decide to adopt it as a pet.

GAW, I hope not.

I like how the wild imaginings of the three “friends” are supposed to be portrayed as ridiculous, yet here is Tiffany standing next to a window she hasn’t fixed in over a month.

Damage with no evidence? Obviously an ice bullet!

Wow, that hole is becoming more massive with each passing day!

I’m no drone expert, but do they even fly with enough force to bend metal bars inward like that? Let’s ignore the glass for now, because the bars are what’s important here.

It looks like the window is a single sheet of glass likely with decorative trim glued onto it. The break is continuous and extends into other sections which it would not do if there were separate panes of glass in each section. So dad has been away since at least May and it is now October? The house is likely on a couple of acres+ with neighbors with yards as large so it is not likely neighborhood kids would be playing ball in his yard.

Maybe the Window Repair Company broke the window because they needed extra cash for the Holidays. Quick Stef – see if any other neighbors have broken windows!

A simple rock thrown through the window probably wouldn’t bend the frame

Don’t look at me. It ain’t my vault!

Hey, didn’t the cops already do all this?

Yeah, THIS Tiff I can stomach . . . AND actually enjoy! Excellent job.

By now, the broken window is looking like vandalism – maybe with a baseball bat. That would explain why there is nothing inside. Maybe this was a “visit” to the mansion by Ann Eiffel. Ann was too interesting to get retired from the strip forever.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. She knows something.

The drone stole the vault??

Oh my!!

Call Luann. This would make a great plot for her book. Their imaginations run rampant!

I think that if anyone broke in it would have been Ann Eiffel

Shut up Stef.

With all this build up, all I can say is this better be good. I actually thought the drone was a decent possibility but it looks like it won’t be that.

Dez is right- a human invader would have removed the jagged glass shards from the window frame before attempting entry.

Tom Ferrell bought a house with expensive mullion decorative details, but skipped having dual-paned windows installed? (which besides providing substantial energy-savings, are almost impossible to break- by either a ball or an eagle!)

There is no PLAUSIBLE cause for the broken window.

Ox could not have afforded to replace a broken entry door and damaged door frame.

Irma, Al, and most of all, Bets would NOT have been okay with Tiffany staying at the Gulag for a month when she would have been capable of independent function after one week.

Les would not sleep on a beanbag chair for a month to give Tiffany his bed,

There’s no reason why Tiffany would stick with that stupid sling for three days, let alone one month.

This arc has been interesting, but it jumped the shark long, long ago.

It was a drone that accidentally violated important air space.The nearby Air Force base scrambled some fighter jets and the sonic boom broke Tiff’s window

Tiff, don’t confuse a “little” issue with a conspiracy theory!

Perhaps those metal bars people are talking about are actually just cosmetic aluminum or plastic pieces to add detail to the window.

It was clearly a misdirected snowball, which has long since evaporated.

I can’t believe her dad doesn’t have a safe somewhere in the house. In his room or in an office. But that’s hardly a vault. And you’d need to be an experienced safe-cracker to be able to work out the combination.

Where IS this going………..?

Where is Nancy Drew when you need her?

A Drone could glue itself to the Ceiling in her Shower.

This will not be on the CBS fall line up next year.

I’m guessing the window was hit with a snowball which melted by the time anybody looked at the damage.

Sigh! Poor Tiffany Farrell. This has gotten out of hand (not to mention little robot fingers). Sometimes, it’s better not having friends….
