Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 30, 2012
Transcript:
Tiffany: "With the "Eyez of Zeye" movie canned, how am I supposed to be discovered? How will I be a superstar?" Crystal: "Here's a radical idea: Earn it" Crystal: "Go to school, learn the craft. Do small parts to hone your skills so that when you are in a big film you'll be a real talent and not just a hot babe" Tiffany: "HAHAHA! Good on, Crystal!" Crystal: "Glad I cheered you up"

I’m laughing as well.

And before anyone mentions Crystal’s top’s inconsistent colour, I did it first.

This takes entitlement to a new level
BTW. Crystals top looks the same to me.
peter over 12 years ago
@GetAGrip2: it is, however, inconsistent with the previous strip in this arc (Saturday), which is, in comic-time, seconds before this one.
yankeetexan over 12 years ago
neither one has the same color as Saturday’s strip. Tiff dress was green

Great thing about Mount Rushmore being a natural formation! I also once heard that Cher thought the Moon was the opposite side of the Sun!
ShagsCA over 12 years ago
Tiff’s top changed color, too. From green to blue!
ianm over 12 years ago
Crystal’s suggestion is almost exactly the same career path that Luann has mapped out for herself, except Luann wants to be an entertainer rather than a film star. Is this arc leading to yet another Luann/Tiff confrontation?

Poor Tiffany. She can’t see the truth when it’s offered her…

Crystal looks just like Joan Jett now.
brewingbiker over 12 years ago
Sadly, I actually KNOW people who are like the worthless ‘hot chick’ -the world owes ‘em a living just because they’re hot.
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Bless little ol’ Tiff and her sense of humor! Of course it’s true that working actresses follow Crystal’s path, and a very few even become stars. Some become successful (in a relative sense), but stardom happens to very few, and not on any merely logical basis. This is my observation.

Let’s just consider the changing of the clothing colors of Tiff and Chrystal as equivalent to the expression….‘and time passes…’. To keep story lines for comics such as this one fresh, the author has to ‘change things up’ once and a while in order to hold the interest of the readers…
blunebottle over 12 years ago
I don’t know about that…directors are still always on the lookout for that fresh face….and I can think of a few faces that don’t have the acting ability to match….here’s one from yesteryear:http://www.goon.org/usgoons/sabrina/

The PERFECT “slap-in-the-face” would be the Studio Honcho’s show up, and offer a SCHOLARSHIP at JULLIARD to BOTH Luann (so she can WORK her goal), and Crystal.
PLUS a screen test for EACH on “an upcoming movie in development” - then, send Tiffany out for “the coffee” while “we grownups talk” !
melmarsh9v over 12 years ago
Wow! Is Tiffany capable of learning anything?
kenwarnerfordictator over 12 years ago
Allright, I’m all finished feeling sorry for Tiffany now.
prrdh over 12 years ago
Did she really think that, or was it a bit of Cherokee sarcasm? I don’t know one way or the other; just wondering.
Tinyman over 12 years ago
Can someone fill me in? What exactly is a Cher Moment. Either I am out of it or I missed something. Or Both. Thanks.:)

Say, Crystal’s idea is a GOOD one Tiff.
And Crystal? You could apply your OWN advice to YOURSELF when it comes to Your (Cough, Choke, GAG) Poetry….,
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
So Crystal has a ring on third finger, left hand… Not from Knute? Is it just jewelry with no meaning related to placement?
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Looks like you’re right. Just Googled it and found this description: " It is significant, in the fact that it is the same finger on which a wedding ring is worn. It is to remind an individual their desire and goal to abstain from sex until marriage. Once marriage takes place, the purity ring is removed and replaced with a wedding ring."
The Old Wolf over 12 years ago
If I’m not mistaken, these strips are done by Greg in B&W, and some drudge at GoComics adds the color. Inconsistently.
pixel_pusher over 12 years ago
Awwwww, I still see big things in Tiff’s future. The Playboy mansion is pretty big, after all.
ACTIVIST1234 over 12 years ago
Even Tiff realizes it— she doesn’t want to act, she doesn’t want to sing, she doesn’t want to dance. She just wants to be a celebrity. And the road to that is different from the road to performing.
Doctor11 over 12 years ago
Tiffany is a lost cause since she thought Crystal was making a joke.
Charles Weir over 12 years ago
When actress Barbara Eden first came to Hollywood in the 50s she went to Warner Bros. They told her to go home because “her tits weren’t big enough.”
mojitobaby over 12 years ago
Uh, not exactly. Tiffany is undoubtedly the dimmest bulb in the Pitts string. While not as intellectual as Bernice or Rosa, Luann works at the library and at least knows that the seasons in the southern hemisphere are different from the north. Bernice, for example, wouldn’t be bothered hanging with Tiffany, but does have a connection wth Luann. .Luann is far too insecure about her looks, not to mention her concern about what others think of her, to hang with either Tiffany and Crystal. Tiffany assumes everyone worships her, and Crystal doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks about her.
drewpamon over 12 years ago
Obviously belives in what Obama is selling. Hard work and Intelligence don’t help people succeed only by having people around you hand sucess to you is success possible.
kenhense over 12 years ago
It isn’t just looks. Actors DO need talent at least. Some didn’t study – however they’re pretty much all better with the lines and body language than most people. Can’t deny that Cher has talent.
krelboyne over 12 years ago
Or,as a member of “The Eagles” once said -“Bubble headed bleached blonde”.
Was Henley – after The Eagles. . .
and BHBB would be an actress of sorts on TV news . . a celebrity for looking good. Good job for Tiffany.
yangeldf over 12 years ago
Though I agree with Crystal…does Hollywood even work like that anymore?

Tiffany and Crystal both have extra clothes in their lockers...But put both wardrobes together and they do not match the number of shirts—and colors, that Gunther has in his locker, gym locker, and behind the vent grill in the one K cleaned bathroom.
libbydog over 12 years ago
I love Tiff’s teethy laugh. She soo doesn’t get anything anyone says.
lynnskay over 12 years ago
“they’re done in color from the start, ’cause lotta newspapers print the comics in colour, daily, too, not just Sundays.”.Sorry, but you’re wrong. If you’ve read the comment section long enough, or some of Greg’s blogs, you would know that he only colors the Sunday strips himself. The dailies are colored by a syndicate colorist. The one who usually does Luann sometimes comments here. I never saw a newspaper with colored dailies, but I suppose there could be some.
wlbaz over 12 years ago
Gotta give Crystal props for being practical…
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace over 12 years ago
Cher is extremely talented and whoever is her plastic surgeon is as well. Good voice, not bad acting, good with comedy.

@Lynnskay
“Check back to Saturday’s strip. Crystal’s top was blue, and Tiff’s top was green..“And why are so many commenters jumping on Ottodesu for pointing out a color inconsistency? It’s exactly the kind of thing many of the commenters here jump on any chance they get. Is it only okay if you do it first?”-Commenters jump on each other for any reason or no reason at all. -Anyhoo, you’re assuming it is still Saturday in today’s strip. There is no reason to assume that to be true. In fact the color changes and change of settings is exactly what implies otherwise.-Now if we’re in an ongoing event and say Luann’s buttons keep appearing and disappearing on her blouse, that might be noteworthy or at lest commentworthy (since comments are worth only one fifth as much as notes).Changes within the single day’s strips are also different since unless othewise specified, we can assume they are taking place at the same time and place, thus any wardrobe changes would be out of place.-I believe it was Duck Soup with the Marx Brothers in which Groucho kept changing uniforms within the same scene, thereby making fun of the total concept of consistencey within a movie.

So why does Crystal hang with Tiffany?

Tiff reminds me of Paris Hilton.
