Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 15, 2012

I choose to take this as adult dialogue.And I choose not to explain why.

TJ…is something else.

They gotta up the coolness of this story line

Most fast food joints don’t have a liquor license.

I think Tj has outlived his usefulness to WW. He’s scraping the bottom of the idea bottle and I can see he will be on his way out the door by the end of the next strip. He’s also getting too cocky for his own good and AE is no longer enthralled by his ideas

“Weenie” and “coolness” are oxymorons.

I think she is going to fall for it and try to throw TJ under the bus when it fails. That’s my prediction.

A martini weenie sounds like you just boil a hot dog in that alcoholic beverage.

Take it from Roger Sterling, it won’t fail !

He’s playing her man…setting her up. She’s gonna buy in to one or both of these idiotic ideas and BAM!!! Down comes corporate and says, "WTF you doin ANN?! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!

I don’t see the marketability in this weenie idea. If Ann goes for it, she deserves what ever happens. Bad or good.

Shaken, not stirred

TJ has got to be trying to con Annie Awful! Otherwise, there is no way to justify these limp-wienied ideas he is suggesting.

…let’s wait and see!!!

Hey, did anybody see the latest Jack-In-The-Box commercial with the scrabble game? Talk about adult humour!

Ann will end up waiting on tables at Hooters if she buys into TJ’s lame-brain, knuckle-head idea. Hmmmn … just wondering how Ann would look in orange short-shorts and a cut-off halter top.

As for a liquor license — only in the States do fast food shops not sell alcoholic beverages. Mcdonalds in France, UK, Germany etc all sell beer/wine. Only the States have the restriction that young teens can’t even carry the beverage on a tray to a customer. In Germany, if a kid walks in a bar and his head is above the level of the bar, he can drink anything he can pay for. Even the Schnell Imbiss (roadside carts) sell beer.As for TJ/AE, corporate would notice the increase in revenue and reward the manager, not the cashier who upsells.Even a franchise that is owned by an individual or a small group has to follow the ‘rules’ setup by corporate. My uncle ‘owns’ 15 Hardees and 6 PuttPutts but all the stores have the same ad campaigns and offer the same specials. Corporate also frowns on independent thinking. So much for Atlas Shrugged.Have a good day!

Ann?

1) Take an EXTENDED Lunch Break.

2) Clutch Your purse TIGHTLY to Your AMPLE HEAVING Bosom.

3) Go BACK to Borderland Books and BEG for Your OLD Job back.

4) Oh, and FETCH me a Cup ’O Joe on the way out, will ’ya?

What happened wiith the origonal storyline where Ann wanted to sue for getting her finger bitten? I was hoping that would resume. I was hoping OX would have done something to finally get rid of her. Thanks

TJ is one of my favorite characters, but he has the WORST ideas…

Martini Weeinies? No TJ is just messing with her. I wonder how long she will listen until she’s fed up. I wonder if TJ is wondering the same thing.

I think that she will think that everything else he did worked out good and try it and end up falling on her face. He is about to spring the trap I think.

Yeah, because nothing says “cool” like scribbled permanent marker and toothpicks shoved haphazardly all over one’s food. If by “cool,” he means “lawsuit waiting to happen.”

She should fire him now.

I can’t wait to see what happens next, TJ will come out on top, you’ll see.

Yes, either this is (ingeniously) in-line with his master plan to befuddle Ann or… He is finally cracking and losing it himself.

@brdshtt-spot on yesterday!

Methinks TJs settin up the lamedame

WARNING- Kids, don’t try this at home. Toothpicks are dangerous. One could get caught in your mouth and cause you to choke to death. Or swallow a piece, and it could puncture your stomach or intestines and cause a potentially fatal injury.That said: Raise your hand if you tried this at home last night. Me too— so it’s unanimous.Eyes can be small pieces of pickle or green olive, and mouth is the pimento. In bakery, we “glued” things on with frosting. Does mayo dry & stick?

And just to be clear— I’m just as serious as TJ is!

This arc needs to be 20% cooler.

Oh no- he’s got to stay at WW! I love that name. My toddler loves those little smokies (sp) – I call them little weenies now because of WW.

If you a “dog” fan,right, Chicago style, then you’ve got a righteous dog. I’ve never seen better around the world.

“Drag it through the garden”.

It takes some work to create one here in Seattle, but worth it.

Aside from that and the Water Tower, Chi-town…ain’t all that memorable. Well, maybe for trains.

Ann hates it, but she has nothing better. TJ’s gonna ago over her head and Corporate is gonna love it.

What Codea said. because at that point TJ’s mission to WW will be complete.

Martini weenies, eh? I’ll take two please!

Sell six identical looking hot dogs as a special. Only one hot dog has chopped pepper in it.

Call it The Eenie Meanie Weenie Scenie

....Ox would not notice the difference.

“Martini Weenies” won’t be alcoholic. They can’t sell alcohol. But what about a weenie – cheese – onions in a plastic Martini glass? Ya never know – some silly things work. And TJ is the guy to sell them. So I’m not sure if TJ is serious or taking AE for a ride.

Otto – hold your silence! I agree! And Greg is laughing his glutes off for sure.

Something is up. He has better ideas than this.

Who’s your teeny-bikini—weeny daddy now? TJ’s putting the HOT into DOG!

TJ OWNS Weenie World. Ha!

“Or perhaps he was thinking that when used in the vernacular, the two can be antonyms.”-Yep, that makes sense.

Pretty bad storyline. The protagonist has to be likable- here, he’s just being an idiot.

What’s TJ doin’ in panel 4? Poking his pacemaker?
