Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 28, 2024

“Brad’s nads”

Artistic liberty?

I’m not sure why a couple still in their early twenties need pictures printed on T shirts to get them in the mood.

I suppose we’ll see Brad’s shirt tomorrow—and that will be the end of this arc??

So much for the “week of shirts” for Christmas arc.

They let other people see those pictures to put them on the t-shirts? Ick.

Wait until Toni realizes Brad had to share the photo to even get the iron on for his shirt.

Brad’s shirt’ll have a picture of Dirk on it. After all, Dirk inspired Toni t get married when she met Dirk an his wife Grace and new baby in a grocery store.

I think this is a case for that infamous Mom warning to always wear clean underwear (or “clean” shirts) in case you’re ever in a car accident.

Perfect time for the old Peggy Lee song, “Is that all there is?” All that build up, for nothing? Might as well put Bernice in a wet tee shirt.

Enough with the shirts and giggles.

I know I grouse about story versus character lens to enjoy Luann, but really to each his/her own, but in that spirit, and in spite of the inevitable misdirection plays along the way, I think 2025 is the baby year for Brad and Toni. We’ll know pretty soon I think. Nose? Get ready to get chopped off (lol).

I hope the big surprise for 2025 is that Toni ISN’T pregnant…

There’s nothing stopping the owner of the T-Shirt shop from picking out a design and mass-marketing it, if they think someone had a clever concept, right?

Probably something in the fine print for getting “free” shirts.

Brad definitely married up.

Brad’s motto: ‘Save 100%. Don’t buy anything’

Barf

“MAYBE (the key word here) baby”, but definitely the process.

That was rude of Brad. He took all the gifts to his family’s house and everyone opened theirs. But not Toni. The rest of the family was intentionally snubbed in front of Toni because they do not get to see her shirt. Brad should have left Toni’s shirt at home. What a doofus. If he tells them it was X-rated that will be even more awkward.

Oh God, here we go again with this crap…

Are we officially done with arc ?

Alright! Bring in the New Year with a new baby. 2025 will be a great year for the comic strip. Anne Eiffel may even make a return along with Crystal and Knute.

I agree with the opinion that Brad shouldn’t have taken a racy photo of Toni to a shirt shack. What are GnK thinking??

Characters all look alike in this strip.

Must be ‘X’ rated if we don’t get to see it.

Ann❤️Eiffel

You can say what you want.

But I believe that the BEST Christmas present for the New DeGroots was the fact that Jonah Daytona didn’t unceremoniously dump the kid on them this time around.

Unless of course, he plans to do it next week while couple is about to Get Busy…….., ;-)

“A picture of Pee Wee Herman. How ROMANTIC!”

It’ll be a picture of a hot rod?

Luckily Brad gave Toni the right gift. He printed the sticker and ironed it on, so he could keep the shirts totally private. The two will continue the celebration at home.

My wife loves the long sleeve extra long over sized tee shirt I gave her for her birthday last week. It reads THIS IS MY SEXY NIGHTIE!!!

Well, thanks, there goes breakfast.

I’d guess that in 2025, they’ll see those images plastered all over Pornhub, but the Evans crew still lives in 1965, so maybe in “Bachelor’s Beat.”

TJ and the guy who printed them saw the photos…

Let’s recap. Brad found a guy making free shirts to promote his business. Even with TJ’s help, Brad came up with the lamest slogans that show he doesn’t really know the people closest to him. And everyone’s happy that he spent zero dollars and barely any thought for their gifts?

I would like to see that T-shirt!

Oh yeah, Brad’s getting lucky tonight.

This would be funnier if the slogans weren’t so lame! This is not like Brad at all.

Do I sense some old timey sensual tension between these two young lovers?

Young hot stuff………..

This product is shipped in packaging that shows the contents.

Perfect ending to the gift giving!!

Which was more lame; last year’s trip to the cabin where nothing happened or this year’s t-shirt story where nothing happened?

And you let TJ see these pictures!?

Blood donations? What about the BLOOD DONATIONS

I worked in a photo lab in the 70s and you’d be amazed at the pictures that came out of the developer.

Brad has the baby making on his mind and Toni told months ago not to rush her.

Eew LaLa

Chacun à son goût

Don’t break any speed laws getting home.

Baby is coming soon

I figured Brad and Toni would announce she was pregnant this year at Christmas. THAT would have been something.

More filler, so next week too? ;-)

Toni is holding that t-shirt entirely in the wrong direction….I think the 4th wall deserves a peek!

Looks white, not lilac.

It really took a while to get to the punchline on this joke.

Did Toni cut her hair?
