Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 18, 2012

Poor Gunther, he’s between Pampers and Depends.

But damn, she is cute! Lucky lad. A bit scared, but.

Simple job, But I reckon the colourist had fun on this one.

Poor Rosa, if she has to mother him, all the sexual tension will go out of their relationship. She’ll just feel sorry for him.

He hides his anxiety well!

FHEO!!!

WHOA!!!!

Wotta BABE!!!!Ya Know, I MAY have to re-think My: “Gunther should be with Luann and Luann ONLY” concept.

(Pondering)

Naaaaaaaaaaw………,

Hopefully Rosa already knows martial arts, heh. She seems to have the confidence down. Note that she has never looked scared or intimidated, herself…

I will also give plenty of warnings… but I have a personal space bubble, and I will very strongly verbally warn them to get out of it. If they don’t, I will find a way to move them out, preferably without starting a fight. If they lay hands on me, however, well at that point they’ve ignored the warnings, and it is time to get serious with the self defense.I used to be all apologetic and give too much ground, not wanting to seem like a **** I guess… women are kind of conditioned to be yielding and to not want to “disappoint” people by setting boundaries too strongly and clearly.Now though? Oh I set boundaries, and they are hard boundaries. I warn early and often, but I don’t give endless second chances. If someone tries to violate my person, they’d better get out and get out FAST.I’ve found that making that very crystal clear before anything gets out of hand stops a lot of confrontations cold, when it comes to sexual harassment.

Kinda nice to see that he had no fear for himself when Rosa was assaulted, even though Leslie was a full head taller and obviously a bully. Betcha he would do the same again if she was in danger. He’s got all of his man bits in place, which includes the Darwinian good sense to avoid unnecessary danger. Extreme danger.

@ShagsCAFHEO??

Gunther—Jump out of your skin why dont you?

I’ve read your comments on several strips. Very good.

Yeah, your cool as a cucumber, aren’t you?

Rosa does look really cute in that outfit amd Sheriff did a great job of coloring, even catching the trim around the raglan sleeves.

Wow! Rosa’s a hottie!!!

Hey, before they (Leslie and Gunth) fight, maybe Rosa will give him a kiss for encouragement, probably not though

I agree with the comment above, Gunter is about to lose Rosa if she has to be his mother and handle the issue instead of him b ut then again, in the end, only Rosa can handle it. If Gunter tries to handle it, it will be a never ending physical war but Rosa has the ability to tell him “NO” ( and then kick him where he should be kicked!).

Even stereotyped caricatures of Latina girls are SOOOO hot.

High school was a time of appraising women. I now live down by the border. Land of vast horizons and absolutely knockout women…not hunting, just appreciating the scenery.

Sometimes it’s like living in the Louvre.

My, but Rosa is certainly a very good-looking young lady. I feel sorry for her, that her would-be boyfriend is such a basket case. Gunther may not be a fighter, and it may be wise for him to admit it to himself and to Rosa, but he should not be going around acting so plainly the scaredy-cat.

I think Gunther’s up to it. He just needs to be provoked, like he was before when Knox hit on Rosa…

“Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don’t” – Gunther dreads the worst, but when push comes to shove, he may man up to the task.

Relax, Gunther. If you don’t show fear or any other weakness, then the bully will have to back off, and it does help to be near a teacher, too…just to be safe.

It wasn’t much of a proclamation.

But speaking of repressed teen sexuality, I think you might be stuck in a phase if my view bothers you so much.

this thread is getting Way too tedious.

Panels 2 & 3 make me think of a turtle’s head popping out of its shell. I do like Greg’s drawing technique. It is simple & eye catching. The girls are a little stiff, shoulders back, breasts out, but the guys get most of the action drawing, exaggerated limbs, wild expressions, round shoulders and backs…..real “cartoon” stuff. Only Tiffany seems to share this illusion of flexibility, and Luann does, too, to a lesser extent.

Rosa, look on the bright side. Now he is more afraid of someone other than you.

Oh please,,,,,,,,,,is that all you guys have to do? Women don’t sit around doing this sick stuff. Only guys.

I guess she knows.

Good luck with your crusade there, church lady.

Gunther is a real hero. See how scared he is? He knew he was no match for Leslie but still went to protect Rosa. Don’t worry Gunther – you are twice the man he is and you will do fine when you have to.

OK, we all got the message . Gunther is scared . What now ? Find a conclusion and let’s move to other topics . What about the 3 musketeers ?

I am a female and I am not into peeking at camel toes of celebs in pictures. While we are talking about camel toes, there are also guys whose penises and balls are clearly visible while wearing gym shorts, loose shorts,pants, or swim trunks. SO what about it? We know females have vaginas and males have penises and nuts. We just need to check the mirror to make sure we are not showing what we don’t want to show.

U go Greg can’t stand the firefighter strips let’s deal with real life kids like this

His “sex” is probably all in his head though.

It occurs to me that Gunther is not unlike a number of little, skinny, lightweight kids – they have no idea how strong they really are.

When you think about it, he had no trouble hauling around a 40+ lb. backpack, and swinging it around for a good reason.

[As for the weight of one of those backpacks, I know about it from personal experience. My kids carried them around all their high school years loaded with books and notebooks. I was amazed that my little girl and slender son could handle their backpacks so well, while I had quite an issue with them, just lifting them!]
