Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 12, 2012
Transcript:
Bernice: "This says guys prefer girls who are plain-looking but funnt over ones who are gorgeous but dull" Luann: "Oh, great! It's way harder to be funny than pretty!" Bernice: "Hm. True. There are 200 pages here devoted to glamour and not one devoted to humor. You can plump your lashes but not your laughs" Luann: "Exactly! How do I make myself FUNNIER?! There's no lotion for that. It's just ME, going -" Luann: "SNOK! Hey, why do gorillas have big nostrils? Cuz they have big fingers! Nyuk Nyuk" Bernice: "Wow. You area total guy magnet right now, Luann"

Research of dating sites shows that 97.6% of women specify that the man they look for must have GSOH. Is this because women find it so hard to do on their own?

I always liked the plain Janes better. Mary Ann over Ginger any day!

Real guys – ie men – like women who are intelligent. You spend a lot more time talking with them than anything else.

I agreed with the results.

Nitpick. Did Luann & Puddles spin around on the bed for frame 3? The relative positions are a mirror image of the first two frames.

GSOH= Good Sense of Humor. And I would take MaryAnn over Ginger because she was way better looking as well as way more fun.

Well, I would certainly not choose Luann if I ever saw that scene from the last panel. ’Tain’t funny, Luann!
ComicLaff almost 13 years ago
Heck, I’d take Bernice over Luann. But that’s just me.

I think it is like the Cyndi Lauper song says “Girls just want to have FUNDS”…..
Airman almost 13 years ago
Yay, Puddles is back for a guest shot. Bernice, for all the glamor mags she reads sitting on Luann’s bedroom floor, NEVER has looked sexy. No makeup, no lips, hair trigger temper, caustic wit.

@mighty Mouse:I always liked Maryanne over Ginger too. I heard that too that Tina Louise thought that she was the star. I guess thats why they called it GILLIGAN"S island and not GINGERS Island. I like Louanne no matter what.

@Ralph DavisThat should be GREAT salary own house :D
ArtCreator almost 13 years ago
Yeah, but those girls are obsessed with being pretty and are really annoying. It’s rare they are actually nice.
ArtCreator almost 13 years ago
I think Luann is already funny, the facial expression in panel 3 was actually funny.

How does Greg have such detailed (and probably very accurate) insights into the private conversations of teenage girls?
WaitingMan almost 13 years ago
How can Luann make herself funnier? Get a better writer.

Luann, you had me at “Snok.”

I just wish Greg Evans would do some story lines with TJ’s love life. And Toni and Brad. By the way, is TJ gay?

I think the school should have a car washing fund raiser and turn it into an impromptu wet t-shirt contest. Let’s see who cares about a sense of humor then.

I don’t bother with those type of magazines…they’re dumb.
Hoodude almost 13 years ago
IMHO the bed is on a lazysusan,and Bernice isnt(artists license sorta)… And another think,imagine wkrp,Jennifer was the bomb but Bailey was the one(The1)to take home to meet the family,sigh..

Then there’s the flip side: as someone once remarked, no matter how good a girl looks to you, somewhere there’s a guy who’s had it up to here with her crap.

She shouldn’t laugh the first time she sees you naked. (You can always say “I was in the pool.”)

Aah, the “Great Debate” resumes!
Ginger vs. Mary Ann, Veronica Lodge vs. Betty Cooper, etc., etc., etc.
How many guys ACTUALLY GET such a choice?
Usually it’s a matter of Her “settling” for Him, and His deciding to “settle” for Her.
That’s why it’s called “Settling Down!”

Classy, Luann.

Frame 3 is so meta-something. More than a simple shift in perspective, the image is flipped, so that whereas in frames 1 & 2, Puddles and Bernice are on Luann’s right side, in frame 3 they are on her left. I think that’s why there are so many comments discussing what men want and what women want, and what men and women think the other gender wants.

Maybe ‘Kneeslappers’ by Calvin Klein might help.

They are in Luann’s bedroom, it’s probably Luann’s magazine.

Actually about Tina Louise (Ginger), They told her she was going to be the star. As for the reunion show, she did not want to be on it period. That’s why the big salary demand. It was not going to be met.

A magazine is a kind of periodical. It comes out periodically. According to dictionary.com, “periodical [peer-ee-od-i-kuhl] noun 1. a magazine or other journal that is issued at regularly recurring intervals.”

What’s that TV ad? Pretty is what you are, beauty is what you do with it.

And I still will say:GINGER ALL THE WAY!!!YEAY YEAY YEAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ginger in real life was so much prettier than they made her up to be on the show. I was always a Mary Ann fan but Tina Louise really was gorgeous.

And the reverse spin on this is what girls want … Luann does not want Gunther, who would throw himself under a bus for him, even with Rosa in the picture. It’s best, though, that Luann doesn’t yet know how cute she is … she’ll find out soon enough!

My X was distinguished looking but got me because he was very persistant and I was very young (married at 21 in ‘59). After I divorced him I met a really great guy who is great at fixing just about anything as well as being very accomplished in what really matters ;-P and we are still great friends. I’m no good and making jokes or even being funny (as those who know me will attest), but I enjoy his company and we have always had great times. I think too many “modern” couples are based on things like “Real Housewives”, but when I was married, I tried to be like Donna Reed ;-D

Mary Ann over Ginger, Bailey over Jennifer, Hoshi over T’pol, Kaylee over Inara.

REGARDING:“Well, I would certainly not choose Luann if I ever saw that scene from the last panel. ’Tain’t funny, Luann!”
And yet I laughed. This brings us to the vitally important question as to who has the better sense of humor, the one who can sense the humor even in stupid jokes or the one who can oly see that the jokes are stupid?
Luann and I have a sense of humor, the only difference being that she’s imaginary. Agnes has no sense of humor, but is funny even though she’s also imaginary.

it’s even better when women prefer to be idiot sex objects than trying to be witty…
