Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 13, 2024

I’m going to the pediatrician because I need to get my feet checked out.

The longer I read about Les, the more I like him. He can be rather endearing at times.

gynecology is the study of diseases of a woman’s reproductive organs. There is no way he could have found anything about his mother there. Maybe I’m being obtuse but this seems like the stupidest thing the Evans have published in a long time.

Well to quote Mr. Knox from a couple of days ago, “Is that a trick question?”

But hey, at least Knox is actually studying, so points for that.

And can you beat it? He’s studying stuff about his hated mom, Ann Eiffel.

THAT might turn up some interesting stuff.

Like what REALLY happened to Les’ father…..,;-)

Not funny, Gunther.

Okay, I saw this going into a totally different direction when Les said he was studying Gynecology.

A gynecologist specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions of the female reproductive system. Les needs to go back to school?

“Gynecology”? “Where i came from”? Bwahahaha – that is too good to not be intentional…

In th last picture, looks like Gunter’s studying about Greg. Chapter 10 verse 13.

Not that it has any thing to do with today’s comic (not that today’s comic has any thing to do with the week day comics) but I ws reading through some of th old comics an on April 8, 1986 Luann says she was born in 1973. Since its been said that she was 13 when th comic started it looks like th first 13 years of her life pretty much well ran in real time

Hmmm – The guy with too much mommy is making fun of the guy with no mommy.

If Les has a fascination with Haley’s Comet, he may move onto meteorology next.

Les, don’t ask questions That you won’t like the answers to.

I think les just mispronounced it.

Uh oh. Punk has turned into the spineless cat from Peanuts.

yeh, it’s been getting kinky lately. i’ll bet the evans are in their 60s +

Did Les even graduate high school? What a f’in idiot.

I’d have expected Les to answer, “Genes? Look, Kelly, Krupa, and Simmons DON’T interest me!!”

I like the title of Gunther’s book.

Good one. At first I thought Les was considering a medical career.

Les’ first wish is be gone Gunther!

Giggity giggity giggity!

and then, of course, there are Spoonerisms

Don’t be surprised to see Count Olaf❤️ in your family tree, Les.

Let him be Gunther. Odds are he’ll never pass on any genes.

Professor Irwin Corey might lecture about this

I wonder if Les thinks genes will grant him 3 wishes

For those criticizing Les for not knowing about one subject in particular, with so much material to learn and courses to take in the educational system, remember that not everything is covered. It also depends on the instructors, they are all different! Sheesh!

You don’t want that question answered, Les.

The study of rocks is geology.

With Punk draped over his arm, Les is reminding me more and more of Rufus from Gasoline Alley.

If it is so stupid … why do you read it? lol

It appears that Les is left-handed. Dang.

The study of genies?? LOL…I don’t think I remember when Gunther has given such an off the cuff answer as he did today…he’s always been straight laced, prim and proper.

If Les is looking into where he came from, that would be a Biology.

shall we go back to what you did to fixing the toilet… :p

I wonder if Ann Eiffel’s ancestors were criminals or if she’s a special case. Les’s ignorance is big, so it’s nice to see him trying to learn something that requires historical research. Let’s hope he starts following Gunther’s suggestions.

Reading this made my head hurt. I better make an appointment with the podiatrist

Okay, this was an amusing one. Les’s first line in the second panel was flawless, and to borrow a phrase, “patented G&K misdirection.” A top-tier Luann Sunday strip.

“On a scale of one to ten, or does it include zero?”

I’d actually just been thinking that we’re supposed to believe that Gunther is the smartest person in the strip when day to day Les and T.J. (when he gets a chance to appear on panel) come across as a lot sharper and definitely wittier. I wonder if this is the cartoonists’ way of trying to correct that.

Actually, pretty stupid.

That is the funniest Sunday comic I’ve ever seen here!!

I had a sophomore boy in a physical science class twenty years ago whose insult du jour was “you’re such a d**che bag”. I called him into my office, and asked him if he knew what that was. He said “Sure. It’s that bag on airplanes you throw up in.” So I explained that was called a barf bag, and then explained what the other was. Poor kid turned absolutely white and said “OMG, that’s gross!” I reached up, patted him on the shoulder, walked him to the hall and gave him a note for his next teacher to excuse the tardy.

1001 Arabian Nights is a good place to start when studying genies.

Actually Gynecology will show Les where he came from. Everybody came from female private parts.

Shoulda stopped after the first panel…that pretty much nailed it.

Well, genealogy does allow the study of Levi’s occasionally

“On a scale of 1 to 10? Around eight.”

Yesterday’s Frazz had a entomology/etymology gag.

Physiology is the study of fizzies

The study of genies? I’ll leave that to a genie-us

He’ll have more fun with Gynecology!

this would have been a hilarious gag before 2010, but it doesn’t work anymore. You can see he has a smart phone right in his hand, as soon as he put the word “gynecology” into his search engine he’d realize his mistake. (also when I was in college I was an ESS major, so I took MANY geology courses, the thing he THINKS is genealogy)

I think it’s cute. How dare they put something “funny” in something called a “comic”.

Aaaand that is as direct about sex as the Evanses will ever be.

Who can say they’ve never made a mistake like this when they were young? I did, much worse, in public! Nuff said. LOL

Les doesn’t know one word from another. Gynecology-Geology/Genealogy… they all start with G. His mistakes are very in-keeping with his character.

Definitely a Gen-Z person right there. God help us!

pronounce it with a soft “G” and you will get the joke. i never knew that Gunther had a sense of humor.

Gunther’s book was worth a good chuckle.

Barbara Eden was my favorite genie.

It might be best if Gunther doesn’t answer that last question.

Looks like Gunther is getting a bit grey haired. Nice seeing researching, even if he doesn’t know the science.

As a couple of people have pointed out, gynecology is “. . . looking at where you come from.” Check out Gustave Courbet’s painting “L’Origine du monde” (“The Origin of the World”), hanging in the Musée d’Orsay. Warning: NSFW.

Gunther put a little henna in his hair. Good for him!

I wonder if Les thinks that elementary school is where the fellow in today’s omitted title panel got his education?

Pretty stupid, one would deduce…

Question: r u reading on a Macbook, an iphone, an Pad, android, windows or Chromebook

Okay Les does have a point.

I agree. You are being obtuse.

ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

He “got into it”! Ha!

Just LEAVE it Gunth.

R u reading on a iPhone, iPad, android, MacBook, Windows or Chromebook

I wanna hear the dirt on Ann Eiffel’s ancestry!

Love the title of Gunther’s book!

Or we could go down the genealogy → geology → geography →cartography → Photography path

Kinda snarky for this particular strip isn’t it ??? Still I really like the cat !

If Les ever gets into gynecology, the women of Earth will crowd onto spaceship evacs
