I do things at least once a week: clean house, wash sheets, change bedding, etc. Once a month (or even longer than that) is just plain laziness. But then again, this is Luann we’re talking about. . . .
She says she vacuumed but in the first panel Puddles is asleep. How many dogs sleep when the vacuum is on? Him sniffing it in the last panel says maybe he thinks someone IS in there.
Yeah, I’m a day late.This is regarding yesterday’s strip about being busted. It’s not just Mom’s who know everything. Dad’s can nail you too!A friend told me when in Jr High 4 of them skipped school to go to the opening day at their MLB ballpark. They thought they had their stories straight, their bases covered (pun intended). Later, at home, Dad asked: “How was school today? Before you answer that you might want to look at the evening paper.”(This was a long time ago.)It had a picture of the four of them, snarfing down peanuts, sitting in the stands!A true Kodak moment!Oh yeah, they weren’t 16 but had ‘borrowed’ someone’s car to get there!
Well, at least Luann decided to clean her room. Maybe this is the beginning of her becoming more mature, which is what we have all been impatiently waiting for.
The girls have gotten taller, still no curves, but taller. Next week: Ox falls for a drag queen who turns out to be Quill “on tour” with a whole cast from Broadway.
It’s kinda creepy when you think about it… Nice to see Luann cleaning her room and Bernice not being awful with her, but just be funny in her weird way. Puddles sniffing the vacuum is the perfect conclusion.
“Well, thanky very much for that bit of USELESS, INSULTING information, Little Miss I’m Living Here RENT FREE and there’s absolutely NOTHING that YOU can do about it!” – What Luann SHOULD have said.
And, how often do you vacuum your room, Bernice? And, why are you looking up such facts? Don’t you have some chores to do? Homework to finish? Bodice rippers to read? Paintings to model for, modeling partners to covertly ogle?
Half those skin cells must come off in the shower when we scrub with a washcloth and then a towel. And a third of those left must be in our bedding from the 8 hours we sleep.
so at that rate that means we lose about 21 million skin cells in a month. I looked it up and we have over 300 million skin cells, but I couldn’t find out how many of those cells are just the outer layer, I only found that the outer skin layer (composed of the dead keratinized cells) is about 10-30 cells thick
I have a pair of automated rovers that vacuum the house each day. Every day, when I empty them, they’re full of dust, pet hair, and miscellaneous debris. To think I used to vacuum only once a month makes me wonder how bad the place must have smelled and felt to people when they came over…
So I am looking at this arc thinking something is wrong. Then I realize, it is summer, these young ladies should be in summer attire, shorts, sandals and summer tops. Oh well.
When was the last time you weighed 700,000 skin cells? It is an infinitesimal amount. Unless you are allergic to dust mites, I would not spend a moment worrying about it.

Once a month?? A bedroom should be vacuumed at least once a week.
I can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip. Hopefully we get the Irma / Bets confrontation we’ve all been waiting for. ;)

Dogs shed more than people so really that’s Puddles inside the vacuum.
Also, so Luann does clean her room. So Shut-up Frank, and sit in the corner!

She looks better outside the vacuum cleaner.

Luann. You’ve never looked better. This is assuming that you let yourself get sucked into Bernice’s line of reasoning.

Is that about 21 million skin cells accumulated in a month? Could we say that Luann shed her skin like snakes do?

And many of those cells collect on our beds.

I’m sure a percentage of those cells belong to Puddles too.

Luann is vacuuming???? Alert the media! Seriously good for her. She’s even doing it without being reminded or scolded to do so.

When you have kids, give them chores – Vacuum. It is called cheap labor. When you don’t have cheap labor (Kids), automate – called Roomba.

And you know all those cosmetics and things you use to “renew” your skin? That just makes the vacuum fill up faster.

Not to worry. You renew daily, too.
Hey, Bernie! How often have you vacuumed while sponging off the DeGroots?
