I wish there was arc arc starring Brad and Toni—like the sweet one from a few years back, where the couple saw this beautiful house for sale, and they wanted to buy it—only to find out that it’s far beyond their price range. Too bad it was only one week.
What is this now, week FOUR of the worst arc ever? Are G & K trying to create a blank slate of readers? I have to agree with Luann’s shirt. This is pure BS. Family Circus is more interesting.
B.S.? Har! It’s prolly Greg’s message to all th b!tchers here as to what they’re full of. There’s the punch line for ya. I could see if admission was bein charged here or some one was holdin a bullwhip to your backs that you hadta be here every day. I ain’t the sharpest tool in th shed, but I know enough to where if somethin’s causing me all this so – called agony, I’d surely go some where else. It’s a comic, folks. If you’re expectin reality, check in on CBS, NBS, an ABS, now that’s all BS
Come back with whatever you want. I got broad shoulders and I’m not here to win a popularity contest
Unfortunately Greg and Karen have totally lost their way. At this stage, how can you not realize the content you are putting out is the worst, boring mess of your career?
How about something interesting, like Tara gets pregnant and refuses to say who the father is? Or, stuff is getting stolen, and they try to blame Tara, but it’s actually Bernice doing it?
This reminds me of an old 7-Up ad with Orlando Jones from 2000. Jones walked down the street wearing a shirt which on the front said: “Make 7” and on the back “Up Yours”. He was truly proud of himself for all the attention he had drawn to himself and in turn his product. He was half right! ;) Pretty funny commercial…….
Boy! Karen is really pressing the point home of the silliness of “branding”. Using a bulldozer when a scalpel will do. Or should I say using a bull*#@t dozer? That shirt says it all.
Luann reminds me of the lead actress in Orange is the New Bkack. Main character, but the absolute worst unlikable moron of ALL the characters. I SERIOUSLY HATE this girl. Everyone else is very good! Even Puddles!
I love seeing Luann’s optimism continue and I have to say that her t-shirt has the potential to be a hit, but not with the meaning she gave it. Tara is skeptical and I hope to see the reaction of Piro, Jack and maybe Nill’s artistic opinion, followed by his interpretation of it that will catch Luann off guard and maybe make her want to change shirt. I hope Luann’s optimism can continue, maybe there’s even hope that Luann will meet again the ultimate funny shirt specialist, Knute!
I imagine that Luann is not the only person/student in her age range who could relate to the ‘blank slate’ brand; of course BS has other meanings. But a T shirt is a good marketing prop and wouldn’t it be hilarious if Luann started getting requests and making money off of ideas and concepts that Bets gave her.
Are you walking around with a shirt that says BS? Reminds me of one of the writers’ explanation of Jughead’s ‘S’ sweater: It’s for the Squirrel High Independent Tigers, and was really the only way it could be abbreviated.
Someone should explain to the clueless Karen and Greg that “blank slate” is an insulting term. It was used to describe children who came to school ignorant and became passive receptors of whatever the school filled their minds with. Also, “full of potential” is empty and trite.
Hah, the monster has been created! If it rubs the “In crowd” the wrong way in this comment section, you must be doing something really right! Fantastic, can’t wait to see what happens next. Happy Monday Folks ! ;-)

Luann will snap out of this foolishness the moment some Campus Neanderthal make fun of “B-S” on her shirt.
Or WORSE, HE becomes Luann next (SHUDDER) “Love Interest.”
And I truly hope that those “folks” complaining about Luann not appearing enough in her own comic strip are now completely satisfied. ;-)
