Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 17, 2012
Transcript:
Knute: "You're a brain, Gunth. You can't out-muscle Leslie Knox, you gotta outsmart him" Gunther: "What, challenge him to a sudoku death-match?" Knute: "I dunno. Just don't wimp out. Stand up to him with your wits. Make him fight on YOUR terms" Gunther: "My terms would be squirt guns at 20 paces" Knute: "That's good! Who knows, he may go for that!" Gunther: "Cept he'd fill his with fluoroantimonic acid"

Who knew chemical warfare could be so much fun?

I don’t think Leslie Knox knows what the f. acid is.
Pharmakeus Ubik over 12 years ago
They never will. Luann will just fake it.
Linda Solomon over 12 years ago
No Gunther, you have the acid….Knox doesnt know what it is or how to utilize it. Go little geek boy go!

Spoiler alert – Greg said, unquote, “Quill is a love interest who will not remain on strip.” ANY love interest of Luann’s will never stay long. How boring. It goes to show Luann will NEVER grow up and go beyond infatuations as Brad had. If he knows better based on the wildfire success of Brad’s transition from teenage nerd to firefighter with a hot girlfriend, he should consider doing something similar for Luann because I can see most of us don’t care to read about Luann, myself included.

Yeah, Luann herself is pretty awful, to be honest.

Oooh, Sudoku death-match! Bring it on! Su-do-ku! Su-do-ku! Two men enter, one man leaves! :)

Yup, luann would never be luann if she grew up. This strip is about being a teenager. Look what happend when. Mork grew up.

why do people boast about their ignorance? I had students who did this all the time.

Would need a squirt gun made of PTFE, I think.Actually they both could have PTFE fabricated squirters, and leave it to chance which is which.

Gregg, this stuff is really strong. It cannot be stored in glass and has a very strong reaction when exposed to air. I think maybe you meant a grenade, not a squirt gun.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Gunther, you are letting yourself be beaten without even having been confronted by Leslie Knox! Attitude, Lad!

What makes me think that Gunth is about to have a breakthru? Maybe Leslie needs help with HIS chemistry. I always did. I wouldn’t have graduated if I hadn’t been the (perhaps) best (perhaps only loudest)trumpet player in band…and the chem teacher, bless his Scotch heart, was a clarinetist with the local symphony…

Gunther?
Get a Companion dog; something Cute and cuddly like a Rottweiler.Call Him “Spot”.
Take it to school and tell the Principal that Your theraphist says that YOU need “Spot” for emotional stability PLUS your eyesight is FAILING. (Be SURE to Wear a pair of Very Dark Glasses)
Now go and FIND old Needlenose.
Tell Spot that “Dinner is SERVED.”
Then live Happily Ever After!
…..,HEY! Its a BETTER idea than Gunther taking that Stupid “Kookamunga” Class or whatever!

Bullies only have power over you when you give to them by acting the way they want you to. I know this from experience, so try humor, and if that doesn’t work walk away, but don’t react in a way that they want.

This is REAL boring. If, as others have said, Greg doesn’t read these comments, then he is flying blind with this strip. He just keeps repeating the same old stuff or beats things into the ground. Would be nice if his editors would read these and get back to him.
Hugh Manatee over 12 years ago
Ya, this plotline started out interesting but is rapidly getting real old & boring.
cdemattos over 12 years ago
ok. let’s just get to the part where Rosa lays a lip-lock on her hero. or let him and knox duke it out first where Gunther gets in a few good shots, gets cred for standing up for himself and Rosa and then she kisses him while he sports a shiner.

Note the consistency in the attire— both Knute and Gunth have had the same clothes all week, so we must still be in the same day, Luann-time. Note how Gunth has gone from paranoid to planning. He is growing. He is strong. He will survive.PS: Got to thinking about the “dork joke” this morning. That might actually work because while we think Leslie Lizard is a dork; he would see himself as a suave girl-magnet with Knute/Gunth being the dorks. So to him, the joke would be self-effacing.

Dirk and Toni was a good arc. Everyone love to read about the big evil bully going after Brad and Toni shaking him loose. When Dirk came back last year, oh boy, we saw comments go over 300.
ZacBSM over 12 years ago
Yep – I was just including ANY love interest, not just Quill…I typed Quill because he is the current love interest.
BigKid over 12 years ago
Okay, I am officially tired of the whole “root-for-the-twerp-to-grow-into-a-man-and-get-the-girl” theme now.
Go ahead and have Rosa judo chop Leslie and confirm Gunther’s lack of a backbone. We all know the strip is headed in that direction.

I’d just contact John Kramer….. “Hello Leslie… i want to play a game….. you like to mess with girls and bully smarter boys than you…..”
