Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 31, 2024

What an uplifting subject. I hope she writes it well or the assignment could be a bust ;)

Do you think she’ll ask Piro to “proofread” her paper and get his opinion?

Oh, so bras are something kids would write about? Actually, yeah, they would. . . .

What about the strips groundbreaking first “.”?

Cringy face Lu!

Luann, Write a essay about your first summer vacation.

Red! How racy!

Luann has got a wicked smile.

Oooo. Red bra. How racy. Was it lacy and push-ups with a little bow between the cups? I think every girl has a secret racy bra stashed and hidden out of view in their dressers. And not always red… could be black, purple or pink. And some girls will put it on when they’re feeling down or facing something challenging such as a job interview and need a boost of confidence. They’re not just for the bedroom. They’re power bras!

Okay, how would you write a thousand word essay about a bra?

That bra was probably more supportive than Bernese is being right now.

I foresee a very attentive class…

And with matching thongs!!

Is it possible that Bernice is jealous? That Luann actually has a talent (writing) that Bernice lacks??

Shades of “Adam@Home”!!

Quick! Call the censor! Lu has a wicked smile?!

Down here I’ve heard of em bein called ‘over th shoulder boulder holders’

Does someone have the talent to engage in make believe?

Leave the room, if you don’t have the guts to get Bernice out of there. Seriously, what is Bernice even doing here? She’s not an expert on junior high essays. What a week, lol.

Ooo…racy! And should I let the cat out of the bag? My Mom had a favourite leopard print bra.

I don’t know why first bra couldn’t be a good writing topic. There are many ideas that could be explored there.

Write about almost getting to second base with Quill.

My favorite bra joke is “Try the Wonder Bra” Hmm, “wonder” what I’ll put in it?

“OK, the first time I punched somebody in the face…”

“When did that happen?”

“In about thirty seconds.”

Girl is thinking of what she should talk about in her Only Fans blog. Kind of risqué for a family strip, but whatever.

“Gee,” Ber-Nice.

What are some of YOUR “Firsts???”

I dunno about that look on Luann’s face in Panel #3. It gives me the skeeves.

Her first front-close bra would be an ok subject. Especially if she includes illustrations.

The title of Sexy❤️Luann’s essay is “Keeping You A Breast of the Situation” and goes on to explain that it was a lacy Victoria Secret push up number that she wore with her Dolly Parton outfit at the Halloween party even though it was several sizes too small. She still wears it for Darling Ann❤️Eiffel Shoog Daddy Safaris under her micro mini cocktail dress for more… oomph and bounce to the ounce, if you know what The❤️Count means and The❤️Count thinks you do… well, maybe. No wonder we all ❤️ Ann❤️Eiffel AND…….. yrs trly, The❤️Count! Eat your ❤️s out, lowly unworthies… we know who you are. The❤️Count hopes all goes Tickey Boo for you lowly unworthies, even though you don’t deserve it because you haven’t earned it… The❤️Count is, after all, not only good looking, kind, handsome and generous… well, not so much “generous”… but also Benevolent. Have an Ann❤️Eiffel and ❤️Count Day! With that… outta here before you can say “Jack Robinson” (btw… Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson). TTFN, The Benevolent❤️Count…OUT!

She should put some bullets in her page.

It was red, you say. Was the reader using braille while reading? (Beg pardon. It just seemed the obvious pun.)

I think Luann wants to continue writing about her comic misadventures. After her success with the story of the electric razor that electrocuted her, I wonder what absurd thing happened when she tried on her first front-closed bra. I remember an arc where Nancy accompanied her to the mall and, being at the time (1988) forbidden the use of the word “bra”, Greg wrote it using almost unreadables dotting letters. Maybe Luann’s new story refers to this? I admire how Luann is capable of laughing at herself and isn’t afraid to say embarrassing things to make people laugh. Let’s see if she’ll really write about this or if she will choose another subject.

Well, I say “keep it up”.

Luann is adorable!

Ooooh, Red. The color that is supposed to be sexy and to drive men wild with passion.

B seems to be taking the assignment the wrong way by saying ‘adult’ and discounting childhood experiences , riding a bike would be great, the fear followed by elation etc.

Actually writing about the trials and tribulations and tangling of the first bra could have a lot of comedic value. (Please just shut up and go away Bernice.)

And again, Bernice is anything but helpful. I’m not a girl, but I have two daughters, and I know that when it came to ‘bra’ time, their mom took them out and it was kind of a special occasion. Kind of starting to leave childhood behind and become a young adult. So, yeah, Bern, it would be a first.

touché

It’s college. It’ll probably be R-Rated.

Not news: college girl writes about her first bra.

News: college boy writes about his first bra.

Why did people call them training bras? What the heck needed training. They either stay up or droop down. When they droop you can’t train them to stay up.

Bra?! How scandalous! (not really) Given Luann wants to make comedy writing her niche, probably somehow it’ll take a turn about her bra clasp putting herself in severe discomfort or malfunctioning unattractively somehow.

Luann seems motivated, now that she has chosen a subject, but what if Mrs. Horner has her read it out loud in class? It would be funny if she’s just doing this bra thing to annoy Bernice and her actual story is going to be about something else.

Luann, I think that may be a bit too personal.

The first time I wore a bra, I thought I’d be the first woman ever to rebel and not wear one. LOL

Luann is such a flake.

I don’t know about you….but I’d read that!

Uplifting and separating at the same time. Cross your heart

Adult, or adults-only?

Bernice does have more experience where guys are concerned, while Luann sometimes act like she’s still in middle school. Still, Bernice is becoming more of a b***h, and definitely unlikable.

I used to think fans were way too hard on Bernice. But now…not so much.

Did she buy the front-open bra with Quill in mind?

wow .‘’’ come on Luan use your brain, oh wait maybe thats asking too much.

not that anybody but Luann ever opened it up.

Meanwhile the professor of the class is thinking to himself. I hope no one writes about Bras again this Semester.

If Luann reads her paper in front of the class she will have plenty of guys who want to go out with her. All for the same reason – to see the red, front closing bra.

My daughter’s breasts are 2 different sizes, one is B and the other a C cup. She wonders if men would be turned off by that. I told her all straight men would be fascinated by that and want to see and touch them to compare.

Maybe Bernice should lead by example and be an “adult” by stopping mooching off of Luann’s family and get a place of her own.

Does Bernice have any settings other than disdain and condescension?

The title is just a red herring to get Bernice to shut up!

Tiffany wrote “My First Bra” when she was in second grade.

That cheerleader roomie wrote it when she was in the womb

Risqué

That’s getting closer to adult.

She got it at a local shop: Mama Ree’s.

Red is nice……

Hey, I think that’s a great choice, given that Luann has demonstrated a gift for comic writing. ;-)

Nice touch or to touch as the case might have been ….

Noo Luann…just no

Padded with a lot of Kleenex.

yes, I remember my first “jockstrap” . :-/

I’ve got one for you: So, this dyslexic girl walks into a bra.

This is the breast Luan…er, uh, best! Yes, this is the best Luann comic ever!

“My first realization that my best friend is a pain in the butt.”

This is shaping up to be the WORST arc ever… and that’s saying something.

Anybody remember that? “Can I get this one with Spuds McKenzie on it?”

Wasn’t a red bra what the female characters who died in the Star Trek franchise wore? O<[|;o)

The first time I stood up to Bernice because she a toxic…

I like seeing Luann get the last word in with Bernice!

Front close… or front opening?

How long has Bernice been living with the Degroots in Luann-time? For us has it been a couple of years of this tedium? G&K need to move this clunker along.

Woooo!

Bernice’s Laughter proves it’s a bad subject idea for the assignment?

That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen Luann say — and her expression makes the joke work perfectly. Well done, les Evans.
