Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 07, 2012
Transcript:
Brad: "On April Fool's Day I asked Toni to marry me. TJ said if she resisted - which she did - I could say "April Fool' and save face. Real bad plan" Luann: "Gee, really? Why do you fall for TJ's schemes?" Brad: "I dunno. They sound good when he explain the-" Luann: "Brad, his ideas are 100% useless, ok? Hello!!" Brad: "Kinda like the help I get from my sister" Luann: "I need to knock your head harder"

Hmm I think she should knock on her own head at times.

I think if you whispered in both these clowns heads, you’d hear an echo

It always surprises me that Luann and TJ never dated. Didn’t they go to prom together once? Or did he go with Bernice? Either way I remember them always being totally innocent – neither of them being at all attracted to each other, but being comfortable with each other. There was even that rumor about the two of them being hot and heavy to make Tiffany jealous. And they just laughed about it, neither of them thinking hmmm…. maybe… just maybe…

Wow Luann in a strip. I’d like to see more Luann and Toni. Those two are great, Big Sis Little Sis? Ah well, one day.

So Brad admits he’s a sap. And he thinks that Toni doesn’t deserve better than that?

What is she doing in panel 3? Warming her hands under the lamp?

Hey, Tiffany has the same lips and blonde hair – so she must be Toni’s long lost sister, too! Sheesh – this is why ‘bots aren’t in charge of plotting. .I’m surprised you never considered these two solutions – either Nancy dyes her hair dark, or Frank isn’t Luann’s father. The simplest solution is, of course, that Nancy and Frank both have a two-gene phentotype of dominant brown hair and recessive blond alleles, which means they can produce a blonde child who has no brown alleles.

Luann is right, Brad. Wake up/grow up/never listen to TJ’s plans!

Sister’s always there to give you the right advice.

imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Greg Evans has this right – these two REALLY do act like siblings (for better or worse).

@Wayle and JerryTheK:Ya she has to hit him harder. The sledgehammer is right past the lamp.

Can we get back to wennie world and the other storyline where Louann’s two friends went to Hollywood and did the screen test?

The thing about TJ’s schemes is they don’’t ALWAYS come a cropper. Every once in a blue moon, he not only pulls it off, but hits it outta the park. Remember that ad-hoc remodeling job he did on his and Brad’s house? We were all thinking, ‘disaster’, but instead it turned out great.

Maybe Toni’s not going to think about marriage until Brad gets stones enough to talk to his mom and says Yo, Nancy, why you got to be such a bee yotch to ma shortie?

The PLAN of the immortal and intelligent TJ worked FINE. It got dumstiff off the hook for forgetting Valentines’ Day…it got him to declare his intentions to Toni in a way that showed he cared and DIDN’T offend her nor blow the relationship…and got her to understand that yes, he really has a plan for the future…and told us that TJ is twice the man of everybody else in the strip.Without TJ that whole coterie is LOST.And he actually CAN work behind the scenes and give others the credit. Very close to a real man, that TJ.

Why does everybody in the Luann World know that TJ’s schemes are worthless except for Brad?
LiviaBay over 12 years ago
Brad is so dumb at times it’s annoying!
Kathe over 12 years ago
Hey Luann. Nice to see you. Hang around for a while.

Luann is the eloquent voice of common sense— what she said today represents the sentiments of this reader!

The psychoanalyzing going on about this comic is nothing compared to what transpired on Lynn Johnston’s site during the last few years of “For Better Or For Worse!”
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
I still want to see a storyline about Bernice meeting the old, self-styled occult philosopher who wants to employ her as a naked librarian in the lodge of a secret society. For more details, check out “Howard Phillips Fort” on the Experience Project website!

Why people forget that TJ is very persuasive. Even Toni fell for one of TJ’s schemes.
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Everyone has probably met a TJ in their life. The defining factor is whether you wise up to their hare-brained schemes, or keep on following their idiotic advice. Brad is at a crossroads— Toni is far from perfect, but I’d rather see Brad living with her instead of Mr. Know-it-all.

Who is Nancy?

My diagnosis so far is that one of your chips appears to be made of chocolate. ;)

Posters on this site are often more interesting than the cartoon. They seem to break down into two main categories: the respectful and the dis-respectful. Sub categories would include analytical and critical, and then comes the philosophical and imaginative. Trolls must be ignored and avoided. It’s really The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I was once kicked off of an author’s facebook and blog, even though I had been a loyal reader from her first book. To this day, I don’t know why. She wouldn’t last 5 minutes on this crazy blog.

It looks to me as if Evans – having no idea how to move the plot forward into the year 2012 – has decided to reverse the development of Brad to 2008’s version. Same shirt, same pug nose, same slovenly look.
Most uncool, Mister Evans.

Yeah, like Luann is an expert on the topic of love, right?

Hey everyone.Greg has made it plain on several occasions that Brad and Toni are adults and have had sex. He had to do it in a way acceptable in a family newspaper. See first week of November 2009 for example.
