Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 26, 2012

A relationship is like a shark; it eats you alive.

Sounds like the Weenie World maxiweenie is in order.

Maybe a shark ate their counter and cupboard.

Awww …. finish up the last story line!!

I would SINCERELY hope Brad has learned his lesson about taking relationship advice from TJ. Smile and nod, Brad, smile and nod…

Well things are either moving or headed back a few months.

For those of you who missed it, check out yesterday’s comments. I found the strip that I had mentioned earlier. My post with the link is near the bottom.

Well, although TJ has never been in a relationship, he is right. A stale relationship is not healthy – it will eventually implode. A relationship is a breathing thing, with up and downs, and in betweens, curves, etc. TJ is trying to say they can’t date forever. They have been dating too long – they need to move forward or re-evaluate their relationship. Look inward to find what they feel about each other and their relationship, to acknowledge they want and expect from their relationship. Just coasting indefinitely never works out.

tou’che’

@Clark Kent, i am not that paranoid, to curious, thanx the J.A.M., great fun!

I guess Brad never learned that you should’nt trust anyone who smiles a lot….

You DO realize that as soon as you typed “the govt” they started checking every site you’ve ever been to and everything you’ve ever posted, right? .Just in case you weren’t aware.

Looks like the guys are eating dinner, so this must be after they’re home from work for the day. Has TJ not been paying attention to Toni and Brad lately? Maybe he’s too caught up in The Ann Eiffel Affair….

T.J.’s just hoping Brad will ask how things are cooking with Anne Eyefull.

STILL SUCKS BIG TI ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Really, there is no problem at all as long as “THE BRAD TASTES GOOD.” All caps, just like the cartoon, to give the illusion of a typo.

Uhhhhhhh, Clark?

Hate, to Tell you THIS, Son, but YOU sir are Already ON the “LIST”!I SAW it.Your name’s about 175 millon below mine.

Ooops…..,

If anyone wants to read something really out of the ordinary, check out the message about my conversation with my good friend Howard Phillips Fort yesterday. It is near the bottom of the list, and is crazier than anything I had thought of…

How did the Govt. conspiracy people get on this site?

Danger, Danger, Brad DeGroot, Danger, Danger!

Sounds like a sensitive area for you Mordy.

Amen to that!

Uncle Mordo?

You do know that TJ and Bradly are best friends right? Without TJ, Brad has to move back in with his parents.

TJ doesn’t have a lationship, much less a relationship!

Has TJ ever had good advice for Brad in the “relationship” department?

What’s the matter with TJ? He always has advice for Brad, and it always sucks! And what really gets me is that both Brad and Toni follow his advice.

T.J. has been having an affair with Brad’s mother for years. He’s way ahead of Brad when it comes to relationship experience.

Calm down Big Fella!What happen? You run out of coffee this morning?

i just saw some unmarked black helicopters flying over …………………I’m outa here!!!

you don’t really think the government is that smart, do you?

I think Mcgee reads this strip too…. we better watch out!!

Maybe this strip has “Jumped the Shark”.I’m not complaining about anything – I love this strip,

Everything is never “the same” in a relationship. Every day has something different in it — heck, you’re a different person every day. All you have to do is pay attention, and enjoy the ride.

Being an “expert” and being a “shark” are not mutually exclusive!

Oh, man, I’m SO tired of this arc. It’s been what— a whole DAY now! Enough of the character development— let’s get to some car crashes, explosions, and invasions of space aliens!!!!

Dear government…has my security clearance expired yet?

This is so entertaining…the strip a quite a bit…the comments a whole lot. :)

Replace “relationship” with “Marriage”….. or “career development path”… or “hobby of passion”…. (you can only pick one, since the three can never exist together)

What’s funny is that TJ is supposed to be at work. He left Ann there at the register.

I’d say shark, the difference being that you don’t always see TJ’s dorsal fin breaking the water as he approaches his victim.

Yes! Brad and Toni!! ;)

Relationship expert AND shark!

this is very rude and bad language this is for comic comments I thought. Has been fun to visit and read with out comments like this.

Unfortunately Brad is stuck in a bad spot…the only way for him and Toni to " move forward" is for Toni to initiate taking things to the next level…and I doubt if we are gonna be told THAT happens…unless Brad comes home the next morning with a HUGE smile and says NOTHING while wearing it !

Me thinks thou protests too much.

I had arguments for a lot of the comments, but the reply button wouldn’t let me in so I figured that was a sign I shouldn’t bother.

I think Woody Allen came up with that shark analogy.

Good analogy.

Clearly, TJ is a big “Annie Hall” fan.

wow per Clark Kent. Its true the National Defense Agency can check any email or phone conversation (heck you and I can Google Earth most any street down to building addresses) but if they check this one I don’t think responding to Luann is going to get anyone thrown into a Gulag, or prosecuted, or eliminated. Assuming the “government” had all the billions or trillions of comments and pictures, and everything daily, do you think they have the time or money to follow everyone, including checking back to see if someone checked back to see a Luann comment a day earlier?

Oh and while I like the Ann(e)? eyefull strip and T. J. it is about time to get back to Brad and Toni. Am I wrong or is this relationship the longest story arc, or is Luann’s inability to decide how attractive she really is to boys the longest story arc?

Remember what happened to “Moonlighting” – because Greg certainly does.

Hello?

Excuse me. Can I have Everyone’s attention please?

Thanks. I wanted to take a second to apologise for my appropriate…., er I mean my INappropriate use of language eariler today.I forgot this was family forum. Innocent eyes should NOT be watching.….., EXCEPT when accompanied by an adult 17 or older….,

Who is using Woody Allen’s ‘A relationship is like a shark’ material here, TJ or Mr. Evans?

uh oh. we’re waffling around here. don’t tell me we’re gonna flip flap flop around 3 or 4 threads here. sorta like chasing fish from an overturned bushel. you know we ALL just wanna see tj give anne the weenie. heh. oh but That has Possibilities…

govt: When FOIA passed in the 1970s, I wanted my record. I was working in Canada, so I went to the US Consulate. They wanted $25.00 to witness me stating who I was – I got it from a storefront law firm instead. The State Department said I had applied for a passport – true, but never used. CIA said they had nothing on me – doubtful, since they were conducting illegal domestic spying back then as well as now. FBI wanted me to send them a full dossier – I told them I wanted to get one, not give one. They said it would take six weeks. Two months later, they said they had found my file and it would take six weeks to copy it. Two months later they said they had no file on me – totally false since a few years earlier, it took them four months to clear me for a non-sensitive security clearance – normally a six-week procedure. I knew I had a considerable “raw file” (all accusations without an attempt to verify) at that time and could reasonably assume more had been added since then. Since then, it has gotten much worse.

Or maybe he’s a Woody Allen fan, Brad.

Alvy (to Annie, on the plane back from California): “You know, I think our relationship is like a shark. it has to keep moving forward or it dies. And I think what we have on our hands here is a dead shark.”

Already another storyline? Geez I was hoping to see Ann Eyesore fall on her face.

Not the same formula per se, especially since Brad’s a guy and the male/female dynamic is different when it comes to dating – unless, of course, you happen to be 1) Gunther or 2) Tiffany. .But Brad went through a lot of insecurity and anxiety with trying to impress, and then date, Toni before he finally grew a spine, and then STILL went through a lot of anxiety when she wouldn’t progress beyond a “just friends” basis. Remember that mopey “is love worth it?” talk he had with Frank when he wasn’t sure he wanted to pursue the relationship? .Wiselad? Since you’re the official archivist here, can you find and post the link?

This is how everything started weeks back when Knute asked Gunther if he and Rosa were a “couple.” Is this question another catapult to trouble? Besides, let Toni realize her potential before she saddles herself with someone like Brad.

@Dave53Geez the last storyline lasted 6 weeks and now the continuation just lasted one week and now another storyline. I was hoping we would stay with WW for at least another 3 weeks or so. Also I wonder what ever happened with that trip to Los Angeles storyline.

I did like Brad’s come back to TJ’s prodding:) Only Jaws shows as many teeth as TJ’s grin.

Now that you folks have brought up the elephant in the room – “government” – let’s just move on a little further. President Romney will set the Ship of State aright – we’ll all get seasick with the quick turns and the accompanying waves. President Santorum will set a moral tone which we need, but many don’t want. Unfortunately, we don’t need another Jimmy Carter just now. So the alternative to the present resident is Newt! Oh my, Oh my! Meanwhile back at the court, the supremes are gonna overturn national healthcare. So who has the power? The President – nawwww, he’s just the front man. The Congress – maybe – if they’d TRY to listen and work together – nawwww, they all have their axes to grind so they can get reelected. The Court – maybe, but they have to wait until somebody does something dumb and comes to them to make a decision. Fortunately or unfortunately – that happens. Is this fun? Don’t count on it, but it may just be better than any other form of government. Oh, yeah, that’s what started me off – government!

Woody Allen strikes again.

Does anyone know how far towards recent the Luann 25 year collection goes? I’m thinking of getting it, if it will bring me pretty close up to speed with the recurring themes and storylines of the recent strips.

Toni already said no to Brad’s proposal, so yes, Brad has to wait for Toni to indicate she is ready – if she ever will be?

I second.
