Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 20, 2012
Transcript:
Rosa: "You're worried about Leslie Knox, aren't you?" Gunther: "I knocked him down with my backpack! He wants revenge!" Rosa: "He's just big talk, Gunther. Anyway, I'm impressed by how brave you were to confront him when he was bugging me. I owe you one" Rosa: "How about a nice dinner this weekend?" Gunther: "At my gravesite? Sure. I probably won't eat much..."

Dude! Listen to what she’s saying. Even if Leslie kicks the crap out of you….she’s into you. HE LOSES!

would love to visit her family, and she cook for me some Mexican food, or maybe, as she visited many nations, an international plate
Yum Yum
Gunther, I haveto tell you, don’t be so dum-dum

I’m glad to see Rosa standing up for and standing by her friend. She has to make Gunther understand that her friendship does not depend on a person’s physical attributes! The dinner offer will be a nice way to gently coax him out of his shell of feeling unworthy of her because of his not being a tough guy.

Gunther is quite wrong, he didn’t knock over Leslie Knox with his backpack.He knocked him over TWICE.Even though he is doing a Woody Allen, surely making a joke in the face of doom is endearing.

Gunther is such a pessimist. He’s the least likeable character.

Way to be positive, heh.

I have grown VERY weary of this arc, Greg could we please move on. I beg you.

You guys don’t see, Gunther is a smooth operator.He acts like this so Rosa drops her defenses, then…Oh who am I kidding, he’s in way over his head but don’t worry, Rosa will keep an eye on him Perhaps in all her travels she’s learned how to protect herself and maybe she can teach Gunther on the art of self defense. She fills him, the get close…

Dude! She just asked you out! Who cares about a beating?
orc9461 almost 13 years ago
Forget that bum; focus on Rosa’s…

Hey Gunth?
Just make SURE that Next Weekend’s Dinner AIN’T at that Weenie World Joint!
The COFFEE’s POISONED!
The Food is so BAD that Patrons are fallin’ face first in th’ plates!
And they got Arch Criminals workin’ behind the counter!
“Family Friendly Resturant” My Arse…..,

This is getting very repetitious and stupid. Your ideas are drying up Greg. This strip isn’t funny or interesting any more. Same old stuff repeated every 3 or 4 days.
imbaldeagle almost 13 years ago
Rosa – you need to have a log chat with Luann – she’s known Gunther forever. Of course, she’s home cleaning the food out of her hair just now, but soon…
ArtCreator almost 13 years ago
Wait, hopefully it isn’t an owe me thing and she never really liked Gunther just wanted to pay him back.
cdemattos almost 13 years ago
Go on get you some! Dinner, that is. Mexican, that is. Taco that is….
SwimsWithSharks almost 13 years ago
I love Gunther in that last frame. Add another verse to Chuck Berry’s song — bout swimmin across Turtle Creek.
Sisyphos almost 13 years ago
Rosa is making every effort to help Gunther. Gunther is locked into his rôle as wimp. The tension continues to build. I hope it will have a satisfying outcome.
ewalnut almost 13 years ago
Come on, Gunther. Nobody likes a whiner.
A.Ficionada almost 13 years ago
This is Woody Allen-esque. The previous commenter who mentioned this got it right. (For a longer take on the same, see ‘Midnight in Paris’ w/ Owen Wilson and a fairly grating Rachel McAdams.) It’s reverse psychology. “You wouldn’t like a nerd like me…”

Like I said, in the end, Rosa has to be the one to solve it by saying no or decking him.
dfowensby almost 13 years ago
yo. back to WW. nothing happening here. let’s move on.
Chuck373 almost 13 years ago
Don’t be so negative, Gunth. When you are with the woman who loves you, you can’t get any better.
gobblingup Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Some of you are being harsh. I like this storyline. What do you want? Gunther to blossom into a big stud, and sweep Rosa off her feet and ride her off into the sunset? This is typical teen angst. Just because most of you are past that point in your lives doesn’t mean it doesn’t still happen and is not entertaining to watch.
Hugh Manatee almost 13 years ago
If Gunther doesn’t soon straighten out, Rosa’s gonna just kick him to the curb…and rightly so.
beirdd almost 13 years ago
What a moron. Good grief, Gunth—she’s hot, she’s smart, and she likes you!
Snoopy_Fan almost 13 years ago
Hahahaha!!!! “At my gravesite? Sure. I probably won’t eat much…”
Rosa’s a hottie. Man, I wish I had known someone like her when I was that age…

Odds are that Leslie will most likely land himself in detention and will have forgotten about pounding Gunther by the time he gets out three weeks later.
rroush Premium Member almost 13 years ago
I’d eat her enchiladas anytime.
chefcass almost 13 years ago
Hel-LO McFLY!
tigre1 almost 13 years ago
What I like is that she probably has a couple brothers who will ‘talk’ to Mr. Hard Knox. And/or train Gunther. And boost him up the totem pole to Head Nerd at Apple later.
Heck. MY name is Leslie asn I was bullied for a loooooog time until I learned and I would spank young Mr. Knox for him…and HER.
Wouldn’t be the twentieth time…
imbaldeagle almost 13 years ago
Leslie Knox provides the conflict that stokes the flames for Rosa & Gunther. Without some outside force providing impetus, Gunther will just sit and stew. Now with Rosa on his side, maybe Gunther will be encouraged to press on instead of just vegetating.
Rockyhammock almost 13 years ago
LOL, she probably knows Karate.
JimT8 almost 13 years ago
I love this strip, the drawing, the characters and the presentation of situations. I am decades past my shy, timid teenage years when I met a lot of mean kids but, believe me, someone like Gunther can outgrow his limitations. (And I really like that he is so bright.)
johnrieth almost 13 years ago
She’s worth it, gunth!
dblbaraje almost 13 years ago
Gunther, wake up from your self pity. People get tired of it very quickly. I think the long range plan for this strip is that you and Luann will eventually grow up and realize you were meant for each other for a long time, but, until that time comes, WAKE UP!
Stanley77 almost 13 years ago
She is dumping this dude.
Mr. Tinkles almost 13 years ago
Does Leslie know that Gunther is Rosa’s boyfriend?
rekam Premium Member almost 13 years ago
I happen to be enjoying it, Greg. Tell those who don’t like it that they don’t have to open it.
Airman almost 13 years ago
Look her in the eye, Gunther.

Re: Gunther’s nose – very few people have a nose the shape of his monogram.
Tinyman almost 13 years ago
@imbaldeagle:Well thats what a monogram is mono=onegram=initial.

Somehow Rosa will make a man out of Gunther?
tegm over 12 years ago
Thank you for having it turn out like this, instead of her being a damsel in distress – it’s refreshing to see her make the choices and be confident.
