Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for November 18, 2024

I was so glad to see in today’s paper yesterday that this is what we have to look forward to, but can’t we please, please, please, for the love of cake stay on this for longer than just a week or two? This is Luann’s comic after all, how about actually letting her character experience some growth and development for a change.

Hooray! Luann is back!

It’s not a bad idea to actively try to have new experiences – they don’t have to be big things. A friend who recently turned 70 decided to have 70 new experiences in the coming year.

Hey – Luann is a Big Girl – How can she not know how “B.S.” is perceived by most people…

No more Steffi? Yay!!

Luann will be a blank slate forever. I supposed we won’t find out about the Tiff/Stef spat saga for a while.

Not just BS but BS squared

Living in Beijing, I get to see an interesting shirt on sale for tourists. It has “I (heart) BJ” on the front. Luann should get that one too and see her parents’ reaction.

This could have been a political strip. The next POTUS ran on BS and the future will be FUBAR

And then Mrs. Horner says “you went skydiving as I recall; I’ll bet that was an adventure. Tell me about it.”

We actually got back to Mrs. Horner?!!! Hurrah. But will be teaching anymore? Will Luann stop wearing that stupid Blank Slate T-Shirt? Will she do something interesting? Inquiring minds want to know!

more like big slouch

Nice to see Mrs. Horton again; she looks well. I wonder if she’ll go back to teaching.

Guess we’ll have to wait for a later time to see how the Stef-Tiff feud turns out.

I’m smiling again. Such a nice reprieve from non-Luann drama, and Mrs. Horner is such a shining star. She even makes ME want to be a better person.

OK – Luann should not have Bernice with her on this mission – that’s a start…

Like.

“What’s on your slate so far?”

Nothing. It’s a BLANK slate. Weren’t you listening?

I liked “Think before you Click” over this BS Shirt. Everyone know what BS really stands for.. and it’s not “Blank Slate”.

Nice to see Mrs. Horner again.

Mrs. Horner’s gonna teach Luann how to become old an stay single gracefully

Somebody PLEASE tell Luann that “blank slate” is derogatory and implies that she is merely a passive receptor of other people’s information and influences. This was the model of public schooling generations ago as students were treated as empty vessels to receive uncritically what ever they were taught. That is the more accurate metaphor. It now seems clear that “BS” describes G&K’s grasp of Luann’s development.

Nice to see that Mary Worth still puts in the occasional appearance on the comics page.

Yawn. Luann, huh? She’s all talk and no action. One of the boringest characters in this strip. Guess GnK think we need a nice and steady reprieve from the Quad Dorm drama. The truth is the last strip of Quad Dorm were all words, too. My guess they will need to bring back Kip to inject drama in that room. Probably not for another month or so. So what will this Luann arc be about? Will we read about Mrs Horner’s younger days as to encourage Luann to explore and be adventurous? Nah. Its not her nature. I also think she’s still recovering from the sting of the Quill breakup which is why she hasn’t shown any interest. She’s been living a monotone life.

For those clamoring for more Luann, there ya go, spinning in the same direction.
