Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 23, 2024

Yay! We finally get to see Tiffany, again. Sadly, looks like we’ll be seeing Stef too.

So is Stef having fun with Kip or is she having fun by herself?? LOL

Is this strip doing a crossover with 9CWL?

Bring back the leaky toilet—STAT!

“How to made a delicious meal”?

Is Kip Lee really there?

getting spicy

She’s her man’s personal Teri Weigel, evidently

Either I’m really old or..I miss the old LuAnn. This is…how can I say it delicately, INAPPROPRIATE.

If this is a continuation from the story last week, Bets appears to be wearing a different blouse, and she has lost the scarf and put on a coat. I think Bets is saying, “That boy really knows how to ma…ke me change clothes.”

“EEK”??!!

“That boy really knows how to make graph paper shirts!”

‘That boy really knows how to make ramen.’ She’s talkin about Les

Okay, who’s going to get knocked up first?

Anyone else hoping that Stef ends up with 4 kids or something to bring her more into the real world?

Finally, someone around here is getting laid!

Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s screwing someone other than Kip! But who? Jack? Piro? Ox? Aaron Hill??

So Bets says Gunther is hot stuff with the intimacy. Who woulda thought?

Extremely rare, but I’ll take some credit for calling this one.

I’d really kinda like for Bets to finish her sentence in the second panel.

Yes! It is time for the drama!

So the characters can’t say “Oh my God” but we can have overt references to them having sex, including Stef making noises while she’s messing around with Kip (or whatever she’s doing). OK.

Sounds like Stef may be playing that Divinyls song from the early ’90s on loop.

That should be against some kind of rule. It’s very inconsiderate to her roommates.

Yeesh… Whatever they’re doing, I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to do that on campus!

Love the look on Bet’s face in panel two.

Sounds like Stef is getting freaky. Super freaky, that is.

Come on people! There’s children here.

I wonder if we are leading up to a series on the consequences of pre-marital “fun “

And Stef is all alone, too. ; 9

Spoiler Alert: Tomorrow Ox spends the day watching a chain link fence.

With those comments, probably enjoying “herself”, and not Skip.

Thank goodness Les and the toilet arc has finally been flushed.

Bets…you only fixed a toilet. How is that fun?

Even porn stars don’t last 1 hr 28 minutes

If the room distribution is still the same, Bets is sharing hers with Stef, poor thing. She won’t be able to go inside it for a while, but it’s nice to know that she and Gunther are happy together. Let’s hope that dear Dez will show up soon with her wonderful cheerfulness. I would have preferred not to have to hear Stef.

Thank GAW, Tiffany and Bets are BACK!

IMO, a most welcomed reward for enduring a “Summer of Shannon.”

As for Stef?

Well, We all have to take the BAD with the Good when it comes to this Strip.

And Who knows? Stef maybe be in that room alone grunting during exercises.

As for Bets’ unfinished statement in Panel Two?

It’s several days later from last week.

Bets has changed her clothes.

And Yeah, Bets and Gunther actually made love at the Gulag while Les was at work, and BEFORE Al and Irma vengefully and gleefully “broke it up.”

Again, it’s too bad Bets didn’t finish her sentence in panel two by saying: “That Boy Gunth really knows how to make Love!”

To which Tiffany would have responded, “Yeah I KNOW!” I found THAT out personally during first semester! (Strips May 11 thru May 14, 2015) Uh, I mean, Errr, Ummmmm. Oops……….,” ;-)

[DUCKS]

I thought there was a schedule and a time limit for the “privacy” room. Of course, Steffi does seem to use it a lot more than the others.

This ain’t Chickweed Lane. She’s doing Pilates.

Oh, MY!

Tiffany looks thinner than the last time we saw her.

Looks like Bets and Tiffany are roommates this year. I wonder how Dez gets along with Stef?

Oh, boy—THERE’s a topic no one wants to delve into. Of course, if we heard the song “She-Bop” in the background…

“makes a great Quiche Lorraine” ????

We kick things off with a bit of a revelation. Just what is Gunther so good at, Bets? I guess that it was Tiff’s turn for a visit, since we just had Lu & Bern trying to dress flirty and try picnic pickups. Throw in the turn that Brad & Toni are taking, along with the recent alone time with Les, and it becomes clear that the point of emphasis is “who is presently alone.” I’m not sure what to think about the Les-Tiff possibility before us.

Is Tiff using Steph’s special lotion? LOL

…and I just flashed on this: During the recent plumbing episode, I did imply that a feminine presence in the bathroom could be a corollary. Now that we have it pretty well stated that Bets and Gun are having sex, the idea that it might have been a used contraceptive causing the clog gains traction. We have the rest of the week to see if Les’ dialogue closes that loop.

And there they are the the sounds of……………..

Because she fixed a toilet?.

To quote R-Truth: “I don’t even know if that’s PG!”

Oh Daddy!

Puzzled by the complaints about this one. Technically all the references to sex are indirect, and given the age group of the participants, it would be Disney-like not to include this part of life. I’m OK with it.

That boy really knows how to Marinate a steak, Make Lasagna, Match up socks, Math. He knows how to Math.

This installment draws some attention to Greg (and by extension Karen) and the very patriarchal views on sex this strip has. Bets is allowed to have sex because it’s part of her job as Gunther’s Nice Guy Trophy™ (Toni fell under the same rule) and Stef is one of the strip’s antagonists so naturally she’s sexually active, but poor Luann, Bernice and Tiffany are doomed to live like monks unless and until they manage to find husbands. But it’s still better than poor Pru, who was gay for the purpose of keeping Les frustrated and making Luann feel bad for getting jealous, but was never allowed to actually be attracted to anyone. Indeed, shortly after she stated that she was in a relationship she was banished from the strip and then retconned out of existence.

Still, today proves itself useful as a rebuttal the next time someone complains with “bUt tHiS iS a FaMiLy StRiP.”

I would never want to have sex for over an hour. You can do everything in 30 minutes or less and move onto something else. Now if you stay in bed to talk afterwards that is fine, but I’d still want to get up soon.

Gunther knows how to ma….ke a great dinner. Right? Right?

Finally. The good stuff.

Ugh! TMI! When did this strip become so R-rated?

I think it’s Luann’s turn to have some fun

So father and daughter sit down together and write comic strip porn. sweet…

Hey Tiffany’s back!

Hour and 28 minutes, I don’t think so.

Really wish they would give up on Stef storylines

Greg and Karen…. get rid of Stef!

And of course, there’s that same old broken clock in Panel 1!

I knew that was going to somewhere that folks could grip and hate on their least favorite characters again! Kinda sad that Swifty was right about that one huh! ;-) It’s a new week, smile ! ;-0

Nice too see Tiff again.

Wow! Completely different world than “Luann Again”.

Eek?

Mebbe some one needsta go in there with a hot branding iron

Do I detect a hint of jealousy in Bets? Gunther may be good….but not THAT good LOL!

Set off the fire sprinklers…enough is enough

Didn’t Kip dump Stef? She’s probably watching one of their old vids on repeat.

When you got it, you got it or at least that is what I keep hearing — about other people.

Well Kip is a hot number and young and there’s always the “erotic secrets of the Orient” that so intrigue Westerners.

Gunther really knows how to M…ake a great lasagna!

Don’t tell me those girls couldn’t replace Stef as a roommate on the start of a new school year.

Why haven’t they kicked Steff out of their dorm room yet?

I have SUCH a hard time Picturing Gunther acting like a man. He’s still such a momma’s boy.

Sounds like HE’s showing off!

Is Tiffany slowly losing weight?

Just gross.
