Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 29, 2023

I just use a gift bag for the dog.

A bag of week old french fries from McD’s for Brad

Just two of these strips left!!!! Yay!

THAT one is funny.

Puddles has the one in the bag,

(Cue JEOPARDY “Think” music)

Yeah or Yikes?

Wouldn’t want to run into Brad in a dark alley. That is one ugly boy. Luann is more typical and not threatening.

Is Puddles getting his own latrine?

Are you sure the one with the ILU balloon isn’t for Aaron Hill? It sure ain’t for Brad!

Puddles is, was, and always will be the most lovable character in the strip. He can snooze outside the office door when all the others are in group therapy.

Brad’s gift looks like it should be set on fire, left on the porch and still contain a gift from Puddles.

The brown paper bag with a bone in it?

That big box is bout th size of Brad’s head..

When you look at these old pics of Brad.. it’s hard to believe he ended up with Toni. LOL

Obviously, Greg has refined the characters’ appearances, but Brad appears to be seriously balding here, while later and currently he has more hair.

Luann, displaying early signs of Borderline Personality Disorder.

The red one is for Puddles and the yellow one is for Brad.

I see a bag of ghirardelli chocolates.

I mean seriously, is there any one of us here that wouldn’t prefer Puddles over a teenage Brad sibling? :D

Puddles must be getting quite elderly by now.

Wow, these people are awful to each other.

Puddles is so old, his name should be changed to Methuselah

By the looks of that bag on the floor, I believe Brad’s gift is a half eating PB&J sandwich.

Wow, Puddles is at least 23 years old.

Looking at the “old art”.I’m reminded of the end of STONE SOUP,where the artist entered her own strip and the characters showed her “beginning art”

Admit it,this is just SAD!"

Go ahead and admit that you love Puddles also.

And without another word, Puddles promptly pees on the package..

I’ve said it before, Greg, that over the years you have developed skill in your work. Looking back at your old work it looks as if it was done by another person entirely.

Really looking forward to getting back to the cabin…

This is something my sister would definitely do. I have to say, I’m happy to see how big Luann’s love is for Puddles. The little dog knows this and is so happy.

This one is the prize winner. I had multiple little sisters. And we all have our parent’s sense of humor.

What the heck happened to the cabin story??? I see nothing funny about the old strips!!!!!

Easy to guess. Harsh….
