Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for April 22, 2012

Aww I was hoping someone got a shot.

Speaking of big mountains, where’s Toni today?

Universal? Our only experience with that is NASA, and they leave their old tools lying around on any property they visit.

Calling our crazy planet “bi-polar” is one of the clever comments I have seen in a while.

It’s an annual event in the Luanniverse, so Bernice and Luann should not be surprised at Delta’s notion of fun!

Yeah, Yeah, and a Happy MIRTH Day to You too.

Now PLEASE Ladies, HURRY and finish before Dirk and the rest of the Gorillas at Local 627 show up and get pissed at you all for Taking THEIR work….,

@mojitobaby:Either that or they are all so consumed by his obvious perfection that it has totally sapped their will to exist.

It’s the Gaia hypothetical construct. It all makes perfect sense if you read any scifi. It’s just another way of thinking that yields different outcomes. When one seeks novelty one goes to Gaia, or whatever alternate universe you want. Or name. From there things look different, you make different choices.When you return to Earth…“Earth to Captain Marvelous…” You apply your insights to NOW’s task or focus. When you want to quantify and concentrate…and control…you go thru applying mathematics to the same original material for study…the planet. Either way works…Apollo or Venus? you people, all of you, the extreme engineers and the poetry/sensual types…have GOT to learn how to jump from one to the other Universe. It’s possibly ALL mental set anyway, why not practice? Even a transmission for a rudimentary (mental) vehicle has more than one gear… Flexibility is also power. Oh….Feminism is a sub-set, a point of view, right? Stuck ANYWHERE is not good.

wow……….. and they say that Bernice is so sweet and innocent…… yet she showed today her “naughty side”………. now I see why when she goes grocery shopping, the first thing she gets are melons

I can only imagine how horrible it was before we had “Earth Day”! What a crock!

She’s also very wet. :-)

Hooray and thanks to those who clean up, and “Jerk” to those who litter.For many years I had to pick up plastic, rotten food, and stinking broken beer bottles along the farm’s road. Broken glass in the grass can cut animal’s feet causing pain and expensive vet bills. People who think other peoples property is their personal trash cans are big time jerks. Maybe I should say the trash doesn’t fall far from the source.Considering the frozen “stuff” and metal flying around the Earth at thousands of mph and flimsy spacecraft, we may have a Space Day in the future.The Egyptians had the pyramids as their legacy. We will have acres of plastic packaging, broken bottles, and aluminum cans which may last as long. .

why is it we only have 1 day or weekend a year to pick up trash around this earth. Every day should be earth day. Of course not tossing trash out to begin with would be better..just saying…

My family used to periodically pick up refuse along our rural road. It was a dirty business but we felt rewarded that the roadside looked clean once more. One problem THAT PEOPLE SHOULD DISPLAY CAUTION – we sometimes got ticks from the weedy plants. Today the ticks, especially the blacklegged or deer ticks, can cause a dangerous problem LYME DISEASE. We now have developments and have more road trash than ever. We keep our own area clean, and fortunately someone has “adopted” the road and cleans it occasionally. I agree that some folks view the roadside as a trash disposal. Keep America clean, safe, and beautiful!

I’m liking the Lucille Bluth picture. She was my favorite character on Arrested Development. Are you saying that SHE had feminist teachers, leading her to emotionally abuse all four of her children one way or another?

…

Nebe-whoever seems to have given up on bringing up the evils of feminism and feminism teachers on the forum of a comic strip aimed at teenaged girls.

…

It’s ironic how we have so many political comments on this forum when the only specific political event that was brought up in the strip was 9/11, which inspired Brad to become a firefighter.

A little off-topic, but does anyone know where I can find one of the early arcs, the one involving Bernice and her first “boyfriend,” Derrick the Stoner? I’ve heard about it, and I’d like to read it.

Noble deed, but not really getting to the distaste of these people and their idea of environmental maintenance that is not even a bandaid

Another humdrum stereotyped Sunday strip.

Why he does this, I don’t know.

It is big corporate polluters (not just BP) who finance all the anti-conservation, anti-environmental, anti-global-warming propaganda. .Shocking how so many believe them. Even honest citizens. .The polluters save billions of expense with a few millions in PR and fake-spin of events. Lots of CEO and other bonuses get paid out to those who plan all this.

Sunday strips could easily carry a bit of momentum from the week. .This has happened a few times. Perhaps by chance..Today’s bit could easily have been from five or ten years ago. Delta stereotype as the hard worker, Luann as the petty complainer. Bernice as counterfoil.

It is the Saturday strip that is often the rehash of the week...Not Sunday. If it rehashes anything it is stereotyped humor fro ten of twenty years before..This is sad, since I love the strip. And I hate to have days when it is no better than Blondie or Ally Oop.

I’m not an environmentalist, I don’t give a sh**

It’s called a comic for a reason – the Sunday gag is usually dependent on hyperbole: usually the smartass mom/inept dad or the put-upon parent/parasitic teenager cliche, which honesty seems to be lost on some who are pretty much hell-bent on condemning one or the other – and sometimes both.

Just so long as he doesn’t go all Lynn Johnston on us. Every time I see Greg do a a “vintage Luann” arc I break out in a cold sweat.

The counter records all comments, including those that have been deleted after they have been made.

Again, not all “leftwingnuts” are automatically treehugging environmentalists, any more than all “rightwingnuts” are automatically heartless foreclosing bankers. An economic protest has nothing to do with environmental politics, but that does ruin the fun of a good political generalization, so my bad.

Environmentalist : the guy that built his house on the top of the hill first.

If the nose weren’t quite so squared off, I would have said a Camaro – after all, the guys deals weed with a sideline in pharmaceuticals! The lights on the Avanti look a little too different to me.

You can find those big mountains in Wyoming: the Grand Tetons.
