Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 24, 2024

Time to grab some pom poms and cheer the basketball guys on. Who knows what may happen? ;)

Yesterday Bernice just wanted to read. Today she’s saying yes to so unasked question. I think I’m getting whiplash from trying to follow this story.

Bern had a taste, now she wants more, not nil.

Oh fer Pete’s sake, ladies.

Just sash-shay over to the basketball court sit, and giggle a lot. ;-)

Ah. Luann’s bouncy hair is back! She’s feeling romantic and fired up.

You leave the silhouette people alone for 2 days and the next thing you know they have reproduced and made more of them.

Bernice is wise beyond her years.

I don’t know what you all are talking about!!

I say challenge them for a 2v5.

Appears that those dudes are either ghosts or shadows—just like the hoop and backboard.

You girls STILL have hormones, y’know!

mgtow time!

And do the guys want….?

(all the male comic readers in unison) “HELL YES!”

‘But do you ever just want..’

‘A cold beer?’

’That’s what I’m thinkin!’

‘Lets go hang out in front of th liquor store an wait for some old guy who’d love to do us a favor!’

Luann is so flat that she has that little bow on the dress to tell which is the front and which is the back.

In th third picture, I think that’s Knute on the far left

I think the 3rd frame is a preview that of these silhouettes is gonna step out and go over to Luann.

Luann has managed, once again, to convince Bernice to live life instead of avoid it. Now they seem ready to do what they wanted to do at the park since the beginning. Try to imitate Lily and walk through it to meet their love. it will be fun, sweet and awkward to watch them try it. Maybe they will meet Nil, or Jack, or Piro and see it as a romance novels sign of destiny. Or maybe they will meet some new character, someone who may become important to at least one of them.

Even strong, modern independent women like Luann and Bernice can’t resist ogling attractive men.

Do we hear the sound of hormones moaning? Why, yes, The Count does believe we do.

3 on 2 basketball?

Bernice wants a man!?!? You could have fooled me with the way she tossed aside piro, Gunther and Nil like trash

The shadows of the players are interesting…

Would be LuAnn’s luck the guys are all gay.

Boooorrrrrriiiing!

Finish the sentence, Luann. Is it just companionship from the other gender you seek, or, something potentially more interesting?

How high is that rim?

Nobody is challenging that shot?

c’mon, guys! De-Fense!! De-Fense!!

Luann just spoke some truth about many of today’s women. Not knowing what they want.

Nice artwork in the last panel. Especially the shadows.

If this arc ends with both of them having one-night stands I will take back every negative thing I’ve said about this strip.

The silhouette ball players are more defined than any of the other Luann characters.

“Independent”?? One still living at home and one freeloading.

It is a natural desire!

Pom poms would certainly help me get the point.

I’m trying to decide how to score this conversation against the Bechdel Test. On the one hand, while the dialogue mentions “a man”, it’s in the sense a hypothetical man who LuAnn is saying they don’t need. On the other, there are the silhouetted figures in the last panel who are only implied to be relevant but not literally in the conversation.

Bernice’s problem (and Luann’s) is the fact they’re very h_rny. Especially, Bernice.

Go girls in their natural habitat !

Your friendship is fulfilling?

Hope they packed at least five more drinks!

Lust…finally!

I see this week’s story is 9 Chickweed Lane inspired

Not the sleep paralysis demons!

I still enjoy the strip and the main characters, but IMO it’s time to move the story along. It seems to me that either or both girls could meet someone and establish a full relationship without making a huge deal out of the physical part. Just be matter of fact about it. If they’re trying to draw it out hoping to keep us interested, it isn’t working.

Yin and yang define each other, just as male and female define each other.

Those guys badly need to bathe to wash all that coal-dust off of them…! d;o)

It is truly said, there’s something about a man.

“Define Things In Life”

“Independents Day”

“Fulfilling Station”

“Meaning Of The Minds”

“What Women Ever Just Want”

Men and Women are naturally made for each other. God ensured that each had their own role and their own unique strengths. The natural attraction to the opposite sex should be encouraged so that men and women can marry and have many children. Also one of God’s purpose for Marriage.

Viva Le Diffe’rence!

Rock my world, baby.

Luann you do need men for two things.

I’ll bet the guys didn’t engage Luann and Bernice because they thought they were a couple.

Speaking as a man, I need a woman to complete me.
