Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 26, 2022

Oh please… don’t let that be Shannon!! LOL

So, is Shannon there with Jonah? I don’t see how she could be there with Toni, if Toni just messaged that she was on her way home. I’m happy we’re gonna get a Brad & Toni arc. Definitely had enough of Tiff and the Roomies, for a while. We’ll see where this new story goes.

Did everyone have a good X-Mas? Anyone get a really special/unique gift?

Can’t get a moment’s peace with Toni and only Toni with neither TJ nor Shannon, can you, Brad?

Shannon = coitus interruptus (however it’s spelt)

Oh Yay! It’s Shannon! Look everybody! Shannon is here! 8^ \

Look, we all know that they’ll end up raising Shannon once the dust settles. ✨

Well, that got awkward quickly.

Doesn’t TJ live there?

Has Shannon grown up a bit? Brad instead of Bwad.

HURRICANE SHANNON ALERT! TIE EVERYTHING DOWN!

Okay, reverse my prediction on yesterday’s comic.

G&K’s run of horrible, redundant storylines is starting with Shannon, not vice versa.

Yeah TJ, get lost and take Shannon with you!

TJ teach Shannon more card tricks?

Wake up, Brad. Your wife has dumped her family, straight from Pandora’s Box, right into your life. This is time lost and can never be regained. Some day you’ll realize that, and you’ll also realize that you allowed it to happen. Bottom line, Brad, you’re screwed for life.

If TJ still lives there and pays rent, how can Brad ask him to leave?

So Toni’s brother continues to drop Shannon off whenever he wants. Has he ever paid for a sitter?

C’mon, Greg! Hurry up and write an open adoption (aka family adoption) into this strip so that Shannon gets to stay with a decent set of parents fulltime!

Yoo – hoo! Guess who?

Don’t think I’ve ever seen TJ so tight-lipped.

So Shannon just shows up whenever?

Yay!! A Brad/Toni/TJ storyline (I’ll put up with Shannon if I have to :D) !! Let’s stick with it for more than a day or two please!

Shouldn’t that be Uncle BWAD? With a “w” ???

I was just thinking of the smiley guy the other day, what’s his name? He’s been out of the picture for a while!

To Brad and Toni, anytime they are separated, it feels like an eternity before they will see each other again.

Maybe Toni experienced a grim “Gremlins” situation. Like Phoebe Cates’ character.

Sigh. I was really hoping Jonah had changed and stopped leaving Shannon around without any warning. But who knows, maybe he was signed on at the last minute to play in a stage version of “The Grinch”… On the bright side, now TJ can take Shannon around to show her how nice is the town during the holidays.

A Shannon! I like her because GnK do a realistic, funny, yet SO POIGNANT, a back story, as there is with the fabulous Toni, or her erstwhile brother, Jonah (some drama here?) on her family, with B and T (H & M for Harry & Meghan?) ’m always waiting for a shoe (baby, bad injury, Jonah finds a gig and wants to take Shannon. Probably not But….?

Isn’t it time for Luann to get a new boyfriend?

Jonah? He is a lazy bum, shiftless and useless. Never see him.

Soon.

And, just as Brad was “suggesting” to one barrier to his and Toni having some “private time” guess who shows up? And, it wasn’t Santa.

Ugh. Shannon. Well, this week is shot.

There is no such thing as privacy when you have one or more children around. At age 6, my oldest figured out how to get the step stool down the hall to get the door pin-key down from the top of the bathroom door frame and unlock the master bed room door. And of course her three year old sister was right on her heels as they rushed into the bed room with an issue that could have waited. Fortunately, it didn’t happen more than a couple of times. i didn’t dare move the pin-key as an emergency in the bathroom required immediate action.

yay! right on cue

Perfect! Uncle TJ is taking Shannon… anywhere!

The Count has a shirt just like Brads. The Count thinks of it as a Retro Bengals shirt. No kidding. (available at J Peterman on line)

It would be interesting if this was the beginning of TJ in a new adventure – finding his own place and possibly dating. He would make a cute couple with Tara, or maybe a new character?

Actually TJ is a useful and helpful roommate; he’s good with Shannon; he’s a built in baby sitter.

So the brat just barges in without knocking now? Maybe it’s time to stand up to the deadbeat father (for real this time, without caving in like Toni did.)

The kid again? Oh joy of joys…..

TJ is right on, quite the romantic and big change from high school years. He seems to get along with Shannon, so maybe he’ll take her out ice skating or something so Brad and Toni can have quality time. (I do believe in Christmas miracles! ). ;-D

Where I live Firefighters work a 24 hour shift, then have 2 days off. Toni will not want sex when she gets home. Just sleep.

oh, did I miss when it switched from “Bwad” to “Brad”?

Old Smiley is right for once.

Firefighters gotta be ready for when “folks,”

1) Set their houses on fire while attempting to “smoke turkeys.”

2) Sitting a lighted candle in the window too close to the curtains.

3) Lighting the fireplace using gasoline.

4) Putting dinner in the oven, then “getting distracted.”

5) Putting hot coals from the fireplace into a cardboard box, then setting that box outside the house near the vinyl siding.

And predictably, Shannon is about to be dumped on the fam once more, without asking FIRST.

Talk about bad timing.

Oh no.

Brad, you had to jinx it.

Well there goes the privacy.

Oops. There goes peace and quite.

And TJ can take the brat with him!

I got the very best gift of all – time with my wonderful family. Couldn’t ask for anything better!

No Christmas without Porky Pig.

Change of plans

Shannon is starting to annoy me, big time.

TJ will take Shannon for the night. Brad and Toni are going to make their baby tonight.

Hot Dog! A Shannon episode!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who hate Shannon, and those who …. come to think of it, there may be only one kind …. :-/

New Brad Rules: 1.) Get lost, TJ, and never darken my day again! 2.) Get lost, Shannon, and go to/with your father rather than constantly being dumped off with Toni and me!

Toni needs to talk to her brother about his just “dropping off” Shannon at their place. He doesn’t even ask if it’s okay. Brad is waaay too nice about that.

Here comes little Shannon. My favorite. Her dad likely dropped her off and went partying with local playhouse hipsters.
