I sure hope Ox isn’t gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that) or Gunther is going to have his hands full.BTW, where’s Rosa?

Hey kids. Well, it’s been fun. Flyingairman, you are a gentleman, a true gentleman. Mordock, watch the BP, you are funny. Ash, well, what can I say except, keep the faith, you prevailed and I hope things work out for you. Good “talking” to you all. Thank you for keeping me occupied through our “winter.” Oh, Ev, keep kicking butt!

carullus over 12 years ago
So, enough of Gunther already, ok? He’s sweet and all, but not exactly the reason I’m reading the strip.

This does not follow the script of My Bodyguard at all. In that movie, the nerd approached the tough guy specifically for protection. The tough guy was reluctant. And the tough guy it turned out was not stupid at all. And the initial bullying did not come about by Clifford standing up for his girlfriend, but attempting to stand up for himself. Also, in My Bodyguard, the bully was extorting money daily from Clifford and many other students.

Dumb? Like a fox! Ox is one of the few characters to actually have a plan. And, along with Delta, the only one with a plan for the good of others. You’re my friend too, ok?
And Vegasgirl, stop by for a visit. I’ll make coffee with chicory for you.
WaitingMan over 12 years ago
Gunther needs to watch out. Big dumb guys who you think are your friend will turn on you and beat you into the dirt when you least expect it.

I would like to see Ox buy Shannon a hot dog, and….

This storyarc doesn’t have anything to do with a movie coming out, does it? A new arc on bullies……?
Donna S over 12 years ago

Getting oxymoronic.

Wow, the wimp-befriends-bully concept is a common story line. Mice of Men. Then My Body Guard. Now Luann. It’s a comic, not high literature.
If you want high literature in drawing form for you to do armchair critical analysis, go read some of Alan Moore’s stuff.

To paraphrase a poster’s sig on another strip’s forum (Questionable Content):
It’s Greg’s comic, we’re just along for the ride.
Whining and complaining “are we there yet?” and poking the other passengers the entire way.
Airman over 12 years ago
I’m confused. We seem to have Gunther running 2 consecutive story lines. I would have thought that Greg would have gone on to something else, and then return to the Gunther-Ox relationship at a later time. I like Gunther, but I miss the other characters.

You may have tutored math, but an inability to grasp improper fractions isn’t exactly a yardstick for day-to-day functionality. Anyone who’s 16 and confusing “guardian” with “gardener” is going to end up in special ed, not the mainstream HS population.

But hitting isn’t nice, Ox. Too bad Gunther didn’t think to say that to Ox while he was staring at Leslie’s fist.
nick18 over 12 years ago
Yes! Glad to see that others remember “the Bodyguard” ? Excellent movie ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081207/ ) And I agree with PawnShadow: many differences between this story line and the movie. And thanks, Greg Evans, for years of enjoyable Luann.
sweetgirl23 over 12 years ago
that is so true except the bodyguard was better
tmcleland over 12 years ago
I’m just curious. When did the name of this comic become “Everyone EXCEPT Luann?”
seawolfdon over 12 years ago
Maybe this strip ought to be renamed Gunther.
ST Joe River Premium Member over 12 years ago
Well I must say I am having to agree with the majority of the folks on how this is going LOL Oh well maybe it will be fishing weather soon and won’t have time to read comics every day.
Chocoloop over 12 years ago
Gotta believe this dude is gonna fall for Gunther. Still won’t salvage the storyline; it’s boring

Gunther has found his Lucca Brazzi — for those among us up on The Godfather.

Someone mentioned that Luann could have been the main character of this arc because girls get bullied too. Luann has her own personal bully – Tiffany. Tiffany may not threaten bodily harm (tho the two have been in physical fights before), but Tiffany constantly making fun of Luann’s hair, body, inability to get Aaron Hill – or any boy for that matter, are all forms of bullying! Sometimes those cut deeper than a fist!!

her and Quill talking about how Quill doesn’t like her and when he does.
