Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 06, 2023

how suspicious already, huh, Luann & Piro?

Tiffany is quite the enterpreneur.

Locked into mogul mode!

Finally! Luann and Piro have made an appearance. Looks like they’re getting along well.

I find it tough to believe Tiff would forget Piro’s name, considering their past history.

Since T’s Teas is just about sold out of the tea, I think Tiff should have offered the tea to her friends for free.

.

Will Piro spot Bernice tomorrow?

Enter our selected readers. Are we to suppose Kip and Steph have slinked of for a reunion?

Tiff $6.00 dollars a head.

It’s not that kind of reading, Tiff!

“This yours?” I love it…

Silly Tiff, the medium supplies the leaves!

Though the reading is not what Tiff thinks it was!

I don’t know about anybody else but I feel like Piro deserves extra care given how he’s come off like a genuinely nice guy and like he’s had a rough life. If Tiff gives him aphrodisiac tea and it causes the poor guy have a “Uh, teacher, I’m not really sure I can go up to the chalkboard right now O-O ,” reaction and it ruins his reading, I’m holding Tiffany responsible for the poor guy’s therapy bills for the next 30 years.

Over the top – even for Tiffany.

Does Tiff believe that Piro is a gypsy?

Dez is probably seething (for her) over the misuse of her Tea.

I like Tiffany’s entrepreneurial spirit. She’s not trying to trick anyone, she’s just working hard to introduce a new product to the marketplace. To everyone’s benefit. Go Tiff! And Stef can go too!

He’s not worth it

Amazing! 12 dollars for a fancy jar?

Uh Tiff, do you think that Des approves of you using her teas for reading (as opposed to drinking)?

Tiffany’s comment"This is yours" seems … impolite. Maybe he’s a boyfriend, maybe he’s just an acquaintance. Or maybe a random stranger that just happened to be walking to Tiffany’s booth at the same time. But the phrasing makes it sound like it’s a possession of Luann’s, and that it’s a thing not a person,

On the other hand this is the first time in a long time Luann isn’t wearing a bland, generic, featureless T-shirt. Not only is it attractive but it;s neckline is low enough to show off her necklace.

And also a nice hand-off to next week’s reading (I hope).

Piro – tea leaf reader? Or Dramatic Storyteller?

Tiffany, it isn’t nice to point at people.

C’mon, tiff. Tell them it’s Love Potion #9.

Good ’ol Pedro Estrella

Hmmm…. So…. Tiff is going to pawn off a magical tea to Piro. Presumably, at some point Piro will drink some of the snake oil “love potion”. My questions:

1. When will he do so, at the Fair? …later at home? …later, perhaps somewhere with Luann?

2. If he drinks the “love potion” before his reading, will he the ad-lib his undying love for Bernice? …Tiffany? …. his new interest, Luann?

3. If he drinks the “love potion” later, after his reading…. will it give him angst, inner conflict, and chagrin because his reading wasn’t fully his “true self” and he has to revise what he said in his writings to amend that his “true love” is actually Bernice? ….Tiffany? …. his new interest, Luann? … or someone else?

We may yet see the “honest” value of Dez’s “finger wiggling” magic (blech) yet, I suppose.

Not that kind of reading, Tiff.

And unexpectedly, Luann appears! HOORAY!!! It makes sense that she and Piro have meet to go together to do their reading. Nice that Tiffany has already interpreted the situation in another way. She seems to be sincerely happy for Luann and for Piro. I think that Luann’s next move will be bring Piro to Nill’s booth to make him meet with Bernice, leaving the two to talk. Maybe, while waiting for them to finish, she will continue the tour of the Fair with Jack. Fingers crossed for the last one to be true.

Tiff…it’s Piro dear…P I R O. ┏⁠(⁠＾⁠0⁠＾⁠)⁠┛. \⁠(⁠๑⁠╹⁠◡⁠╹⁠๑⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♬

Love the expression on Luann’s face in panel three Lol!

You cannot make money, much less cover your costs, if you give away product.

Read between the lines,Tiff…

You “Know him??”

Tiff, you had the hots for the guy like forever, he slept in your private dorm room multiple times, and you once covered for him almost to the point that you nearly got expelled, for Pete’s sake! And you barely remember him as “Pedro???”

Continuity, Evans Crew. Continuity.

I mean what’s next? Changing the Klingons again?

If there’s any consolation here, it means that Tiffany will no longer chase after Pedro, I mean Piro, and focus on Kip, Heaven help him.

It’s just as well, though.

Piro doesn’t seem to remember Tiffany either…..,

2 down, 1 to go. I guess we have 2 more weeks of this, or squeeze the reading and art together in one week?

I wonder if they’ll bump into you know who.

LuAnn is going to do a ‘Reading’ alright – “I see a no-sale here.” Although Piro a look of interest on his face.

Not that kind of reading, Tif. Although, reading tea leaves might help to see where this storyline is going.

ouch, 12 dollars. :{

Nice to see Walt/Piro and Luann together here. It’s always perilous to predict upcoming events in this strip, but even if it’s my projection think this pairing may prove to be one of the most significant since Brad and Toni. Interestingly, the only main characters not at the fair are Bets and Gunther, the significance of which remains to be seen, if any, but this ought to be good, next week right guys?

The Evans’s have no memory at all. Is it a family deficiency?? Why would they not remember Tiffany being Piro’s friend (and confidant) and how she helped him???

Looks like Tiff is offering the tea to Piro as Luann looks on confusedly. Tiff wouldn’t be up to reviving her old Luann rival mode, would she?

Look it’s Piro -no Walt -no Pedro. whew

Just thought of why Bernice has all these guys interested in her. She exudes confidence, which young men want to glom on to. Plus, she’s approachable, not “glamorous” like Tiff and Steph.

Not that kind of reading. One that is actually heplful.

I love the way some people are trying to twist this glaring continuity error about Tiffany and Piro into some kind of effort at humor or discretion by Tiffany. This is nothing new, folks, it’s just another one of those rabbit hole things that the Evans do, either to change a story moving forward (they can’t have him involved with Luann if he had a friendship with Tiffany) or they suffer from severe memory loss.

Is Tiff trying to run a scam.

“Or if you’re using palms, grease mine.”

Is $12 for gourmet tea leaves the right price? Seems a bit high. Dez had been practically giving them away. Now, Tiff, the great mercantile tycoon prices her out of the market.

The tea was much better when Dez sold it. She knows about adding love to it from the heart not from greed.

Tiffany thought his name was Pedro because she saw him at Cinco De Mayo

OK, that girl has a solid future in marketing.

Wrong kind of reading Tiff.

Tiff has got profit on the brain.

Well, that was a more honest promo that anything Steffi did!

Love Tiff’s play on the “reading”! She’s a natural born salesperson. :)

I am still waiting to see the PAINTING!

This won’t end teariffic.

Tiffany needs to rein in Stef. Her exaggerated claims could land them in hot water.

Tiff has really mastered that Business Class.

There will be excitement next week!

Tiffany would look better if she’d get rid of the black T-shirt and everything under it. If you’re going to hang out at the fair, then HANG OUT.

Ever the Saleswoman! But Tiff has already antagonized Piro by calling him Pedro in an off-handed way. I doubt he’s going to shell ten bucks for some tea leaves.

Luann, meanwhile, looks clueless….

Kip Lee and Stefani Bird went back to the dorm room?
