Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 03, 2023

Surprise!!! Gunther has been cheating on me with that bra stuffing hussy, Luann!! Let me at her!! lol

Looks like a day of filler till Bets will arrive on Saturday.

Raggedy Ann is definitely Dez.

.

At least Tiff put out some beverages for this party. We know there were none for that pool party.

I feel like we’re padding at this point.

The “surprise” is Bets is about to pounce the party and she’s gonna video it for her fans, Gunny.

Good Luck trying to convince Bets that you and Lu are “just friends.”

Oh.

News Flash, Gunth.

If Bets still doesn’t trust you now, she NEVER will.

So quit hanging together and mingle – before Bets arrives!

Shouldn’t Bets be driving to the party instead of advertising a ‘big surprise.’ And how will it be a surprise if everyone knows about it. This really is a day of log-rolling.

Raggedy Ann isn’t who folks are suggesting. It’s ack-chooly that pink-haired girl that’s Piro’s cousin.I’ll just betcha!

Gunther says he loves Bets and that she would love the party, but he’s also trash-talking her. And claiming that he and Luann are not a couple. He’s doing more running around than an Olympic athlete. That is, running around the truth.

They’re a couple. Of clueless fools.

Gunther having two girlfriends at once. Most people would call you a player.

Clueless Couple? Or they are too familiar friends?

I look forward to see how Bets handles this. She’s not a dummy and she may understand that Gunther & Luann didn’t have anybody else to go to the party with.

♬Anticipation, anticipa-ay-tion … Is makin’ us late … Is keepin’ us waitin’_

To save th day Luann needsta let her boobs droop when Bets shows up

I noticed that this week on Luann Againn they are running the Luann v Tiffany volleyball war. Good stuff and one where Luann wins.

Getting back to the costumes for Luann and Gunther…if Luann’s shirt is “made from scratch,” Gunther had to do some fairly intimate measuring and fitting, to get Luann’s noticeable display of bosom. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t have much time to do anything for himself.

Gunther’s being a little lofty about the “marketing stunt”…he’s still miffed, yet he doesn’t want anyone to think Bets left him…“Why would you think that?” It’s hard for anyone to understand male-female platonic couples who are just good friends…Luann and Gunther are the Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak of their set.

Dez? Why not use your own skin tone? It’s 2023.

In defense of Lu-ther, many times I used to go to parties, movies, on walks with a guy…as a friend. Same as with another woman. We were buds, not an item.

Huge surprise? Bets is coming with a Guy? Girl? Gorilla?

What is “that”? Is Dez referring to Luann stuffing her bra, or is Luann and Gunther holding hands? That big surprise will come, but Bets is going to be more surprised if she walks in and sees them holding hands.

Gunther and Kip have something in common, being with a girlfriend they feel way too comfortable publicly taking jabs at. Seriously, if he ends up staying with her they’re both crazy. He clearly doesn’t care about her. He couldn’t even tell him mom to apologize for being passive aggressive to her. He’s also definitely still fixated on his first crush, Luann, as we’ve seen with the whole “memory lane” thing.

I feel that if Raggedy Ann was Dez, it would be a cop out. Dez always spouts her Mother Earth philosophy, so everybody would assume its her, besides this Raggedy Ann looks chubby like Dez. A little better idea would be if its a padded Bernice pursuing her Psych. class assignment. Still better if Raggedy Ann is forgotten when Bets shows up revealing her baby bump. Okay, too far. Let’s wait and see what Greg has in mind. It’s his strip.

“and you do that” That’s not Gunther and Luann’s fault. That is the fault of a lazy cartoonist who does not want to write the same word balloon twice.

Please don’t have Bets show up in a wedding gown as sort of weird marriage doll.

is that Toni?

The surprise is to boost the income stream, Gunther! Bets is experiencing a drop in revenue?

So, after this week’s build-up, odds are that Saturday will be a… Disappointing hanger.

Dez is right to warn Luann and Gunther about how others see them. The small group at the back is probably discussing exactly this and she’s worrying for her friend Bets. She may have told her that she’s coming to surprise Gunther and Dez wants to prevent her arrival from turning into a disaster, with Bets catching her boyfriend with someone else, all on live record. To convince them, Guntherand Luann should stop their conversation to talk to the others. But it’s quite sad how a couple of true friends are misunderstood by everyone.

Prediction. Bets will call Luann “Jolene”.

They ARE a couple. A couple of friends. For about 5 more minutes.

Yep; you can fool … ; but you can’t fool Dez.

She’s going to have a guy (or maybe a girl) with her and tell Gunther she’s met somebody else.

This is like a good game of Chess. Now all the pieces are in place for that one final crushing move.

Just watch. This series will stop when Bets arrives and switch to Brad, Tony and Shannon. Then we’re left hanging for a couple weeks.

By the way, where is Bernice? What famous Psychologist did/is she coming as?

Is that dez?

My prediction: Bets will show up, get the same impression that everyone else has (that Gun and LuAnn are on a ‘date’, and completely steamroll Gunther. Gunther, being the nice guy that he is, and also being completely dominated by Bets, will get emotionally stomped. Then more drama, with ‘the gang’ becoming polarized and taking sides between Gunther and Bets, leaving LuAnn holding the bag…

I dunno, Gun, the way you talk about her in that first panel doesn’t sound very “together.”

While growing up, My next door neighbor and I were always together. when we got into high school. Everyone thought we were dating because we were always together. the rumors that would spread through out the school anytime someone saw us with someone else. I had this conversation a lot. after explaining it to enough people they started to get the picture that we were just friend. But man the DRAMA!

You know what would be really great and funny? Bets comes in and she’s like, “Oh look at you! You make a great couple!” and Gunther just then realizes that they did break up and have already moved on, even. Personally, I like Bets, but she’s a bit shallow, or shall we say, narrowly focused, and not really Gunther’s type.

The alleged surprise is that Bets is attending the party, and when she sees you with Luann, she’s going to have an ugly belligerent confrontation with the both of you.

Bets is very late for the Halloween party – it’ll be at least November 5 before she gets there!

I don’t know if they’re on their way to being a couple, but there is there the perception that a man and a woman CAN’T be just friends. If Luann came with Bernice, nobody would assume that, even though same-sex couple are pretty common.

Luann look like her mom

Be afraid, be very afraid!

If Bets knows Gunther at all, she surely knows he will not like this surprise of showing up with no warning. Gunther likes to plan his life ahead and Bets knows that, but she doesn’t care what he wants.

Ah HO Count ❤️ers One and All… And The❤️Count does mean All! :) As Our Dearest Ann❤️Eiffel would say… “They Both Look Nice” and Darling Ann❤️Eiffel is most definitely not talking about Dumpster… If you know what The Count means and The Count thinks you do… ( º )( º ) …;). Can’t wait for tomorrow and the denouement when Bets the Bae arrives painted green and dressed as Marla (Yvonne Craig) from a Star Trek episode. Good guess and +1 for the response yesterday about Out Stunning Ann❤️Eiffel coming as a Tasmanian Devil Doll but sources close to the source tell The Count that she may come as… a CrockaDOLL looking for Tasty Rich Shoog Daddies to eat up… nomnomnom :) With that, Count ❤️ers… out of here for the day. Oodles to do. Mostly unscrupulous and deceitful but… hey, someone has to do it. Always remember… When In Doubt…WWA❤️ED? TTFN, lowly unworthies… Have an Ann❤️Eiffel Day!

Looks like Gunther is ready to give Bets the heave-ho! He doesn’t admire her plans to quit college and make a career on the road, gets satisfaction out of imagining her failing, he only “thinks” they are in love and considers her marketing ploys shallow. He hasn’t said anything complimentary about Bets during his entire interaction with Luann (or anyone else).

Who would have thought that Gunther would be such a coward? If he’s ready to be finished with Bets he owes her some honesty and he shouldn’t be using Luann to make it happen. Gunther needs to make a Cowardly Lion costume for next year. Luann can be Dorothy….with big boobs.

Ah, the suspense. Like I always, tiresomely for some, watx h for the misdirection play.

If they’re not a couple, why hold hands when they arrived to the party? If I went as a duo with my best guy friend, I wouldn’t hold his hand, even as a duo. If we had to act like we were a couple as part of the costume, I’d be putting my arm around his shoulder.

“Some marketing stunt, I’m sure. Very Bets.” Gunther sure hit THAT nail on the head!

I thought they broke up. If they are not in regular contact, and Gunther stopped following her on her channel, doesn’t that mean they aren’t together? Didn’t Gunther go through withdrawal and acceptance portions of the program?

Come Saturday, will Bets give or get the biggest surprise?

Gunther May thing he and Bets are still a couple, but will she come alone? Or bring a “friend”. Or a whole production company?!

Bets’ surprise….

1. An engagement ring?2. Showing up in a Wanton Wanda and Her Wicked Whips Halloween costume?

And Dez cuts to the chase. Nicely done.

They’re very old friends, platonic relationship w/opposite sex is difficult for others to imagine.

So why did they walk into the party holding hands?!?

Wish Luann would keep this look. She is pretty hot. the hair style flatters her face, and well the rest is flattering too.

Luann put the moves on Gunther BIG TIME and he’s responding. Bets will be well rid of him, as he is never going to fit into the lifestyle she wants to lead, and vice-versa. Just a bad match for the long-run, but they need to be honest and not involve other people.

Really is awkward when people make that assumption. As if two people can’t hang out without something intimate taking place.

I think everyone asking needs a big dose of “It’s Nobody’s Business”…

If it walks like a duck…Are Gun and Luann the only ones who don’t know they’re on a date? So many ideas about what’s going to happen tomorrow. Two scenarios: Bets shows up and she and Gunther reconnect. Bets shows up and Gun and Luann realize they are not “just friends”. At any rate, we can expect hilarity, hopefully.

LuAnn has no interest in Gunther. She just wants to sabotage his relationship due to her own insecurity!

Personally, I would love it if Luann and Gunther got together. Maybe it’s something they just haven’t discovered yet… you know, best friends turning into something more. It’s happened to me and you just don’t recognize it when it’s happening! They have so much in common, and have such an ease with each other. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Bets is pregnant. Greg and Karen already made the joke when Gunther and Bets were alone in the house that they got bored of insta and didn’t know what else they could do alone while lying on the bed. On their trip they took one to paradise and now Bets is returning +1 in her belly.

Moment of truth coming?

It’s beginning to look like this is going to be one of those famous G&K stories with no ending and no resolution. Luann might go back to chasing Piro and there may be some type of Gunther/Les/Irma/Al/Tiffany conversation about not dating Bets anymore. Just another day in the neighborhood.

You know who else hangs out together like that? Friends – especially when one of them is not exactly a social butterfly. I mean, can anybody imagine Gunther getting a drink and going around alone, making small conversation with people he only marginally knows, like TJ or Dez? He could perhaps hang out with Bernice, which is probably why we haven’t seen her yet (or Tiffany, but being the hostess she doesn’t count in this party).

I suspect all the talk about them being on a date is to tell us this is the impression everyone gets, therefore this is the impression Bets will get. Curious what will happen; but the bad thing is that whatever happens, it will be livestreamed…

Dez’s turn to quiz the non-couple … finally.

Will Les get a turn?

Gun still pangs for Bets, it’s clear. And Luann and Gun would be a disaster. Full stop.

Big surprpise! Bets is pregnant!

Just a thought…what if she walks in with Quill in tow?

Come on Bets. Show thyself. Am I gonna have to wait all day??

(Yes I know that is how this works.)

Leave it to Dez to call it like she sees it.

Never mind that. Did you and Andy break up?

Like I said a couple days ago. “If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck …….”

Bets is bringing a 5-tier cake

As someone commented earlier, Luann and Gunther should mingle and talk to other people.

As someone also commented earlier, not sure Gunther could handle that. Luann wouldn’t have a problem, but aside from Tiff, Les, (ick) maybe Ox, and to a slight degree Dez, Gunther’s not well acquainted with anyone there. I doubt he’s the life of the party type.

Social media gold coming up

Wanna bet that Bets won’t show up?

They should be a couple.

“I know you’re a couple because you both say you’re not.” Okay, I get what the Evans’ are getting at, but that one just frankly irritates me. If they say they’re not a couple, they’re not a couple. Show them a bare minimum of respect. They might become a couple, but they aren’t yet. They’re two good friends escorting one another to a party hosted by another good friend.

Well, oh never mind!

Ya know, Bernice could catch Bets on her way in to surprise Gunther, and tell her that he is there with Luann. Just the kind of spoiler that Bernice seems to love!

For now?

Methinks the lady (and gentlemen) protest too much.

tomorrow: does the excrement hit the oscillating propeller???? STAY TOONED !!!

What Gunther should do is stand up on a chair and shout to the contrived situation, “Luann and I are not a couple, I still love Bets”, who just happens to enter. Plus, I like Shawn’s idea that Bets then announces Gunther us going to be a father as Irma, home, watching TV with Al, suddenly gets a case of “the vapors” and hilarity ensues. That can bring up a lot of possible future story lines. (◠‿◠)

Who is Raggedy Ann? Bets?

Preview for tomorrow: No fight or confrontation—just more protesting from one half of the “We’re not a couple!” pair. Over at Arcamax.

Who knows what rom-com romance lurks in the hearts of these players, who do but recite the lines fed them by Greg and Karen? Couple? Not-couple?

WWBS? (What would Bets say?)

What kind of Beer is That?
