Transcript:
Crystal: "Knute, this thing is HUGE!" Knute: "Look! There's Tiffany in her Eyez of Zeye costume!" Crystal: "Hey Zeye!" Knute: "Hi, gurlfren!" Crystal: "I'm signing fan pix at the booth at noon" Crystal: "She didn't even recognize us" Knute: "I was kinda hoping she'd think I was you and give me a big girl hug...."

yesterday, as some people were talking if Elwood would be there, I thought “they might do a Zeye display”, but never thought Tiff or Lue would be there. would be interested if Tiff is sponsored by Elwood, or she created the Zeye booth herself

Fan Service from the Tiffster! Crystal takes the brush-off in stride, while Knute slathers….

I’m surprised Tiff is Zeye again. Elwood told Luann he liked her better in the role — but maybe he felt too rejected by her personally to hire her again.In any case, yeah, bad move, Knute. You may be about to get a big girl knuckle sandwich, with a side of cold shoulder.Guys never learn.

Susan, Tiff might have decided to “sponsor herself” as Zeye, so that people would ask for her autograph. would be funny if that was the case, and the booth had the “official Zeye” with the “official Zeye” being Luann or someone else

ew, didn’t need to see her that naked… that said, what is Tiffany doing at a ComiCon??

Actually, I am really pleased that things like Comic-Con exist. They validate the medium as a valid cultural form. You still hear people rubbish shows like The Simpsons as being vacuous, but in reality they are the cultural expression of our age. In the past, things like dancing were regarded as time wasting, but we now look back at older styles such as folk dancing or even waltzing as valid culture. Go back far enough, and I think all great arts started out as trivial diversions when there was nothing better to do.When I was a kid, comic books were rubbished, often literally. Now, we look at comic book icons such as Superman not only as art but as being philosophical ideals and their fictional existences addressing many faceted nodes of self awareness and even moralities.What would Nietzsche have said about Clark Kent?

Okay, WHERE are the Klingons? Oh wait, WRONG “Con”.

Wait…Knute is wearing Crystal’s shoes? How big are her feet?

Still say it doesn’t make sense for them to dress as each other to go to Comic-Con. Everyone else is dressed as comic book characters, or movie characters, or whatever, and they’re just dressed as each other. Kind of odd – unless they are supposed to know they exist as comic book characters, which doesn’t fit this strip.
I know, I know, it’s just a comic. But still weird.

Now that is costume switch was funny. Lost it with a mouth full of coffee……Greg you are the KING!!!

The first panel looks like the San Diego Convention Center. Does that mean Luann et.el. live in San Diego? That’s just where I live, heh-heh.

I have a feeling everyone is going to be at Comic-Con. Maybe even…..wait for it……..keep waiting……..wait a little bit more……..DIRK!!!!!!!!
RinaFarina over 13 years ago
The third panel is carefully drawn so you can’t tell whether they’re holding hands or not. I think that’s very romantic. It was the same the other day when they first exchanged clothes.

And Sunday’s episode: Puddles being Oh so cute!!!

Tiffany F.??? What she’s doing here?
DeGrootingforLuann over 13 years ago
I fear a showdown between Luann and Tiffany — YIPES!
RinaFarina over 13 years ago
As to shoes, the general effect of men’s clothes is that they are very oversized. Women’s clothes are generally tighter. So if they exchange shoes, there’s room to maneuver.

I went to the San Diego Comic-Con once. HUGE and crowded! Greg drew the crowd as few. We kept bumping shoulders and did rubber necking to see what was over there.

@Baslim the begger – you missed Mordock999’s bit of paranomasia!

Greg Evans lives in San Marcos which is in San Diego County.
It makes sense that ‘Pitts’ is in Southern California and therefore makes it very easy for these teenagers to travel to Comic-Con on their own.
doverdan over 13 years ago
Logically, Elwood should be there. Has he gone back to Tiff as his eyez of zees? Luann should be there with Quill, who Elwood does not like.

Hey guys, Comic-Con isn’t some local flea market! It’s a big international deal with over 100,000 attendees.Anyone lucky enough to have bought a ticket months ago can come in costume, of course.But the booths are for movie studios, comic-book publishers, high-end collectibles dealers, and known artists — with probably a small cheaper area for large clubs, fan publications and such.At WAY smaller, local collectibles shows, 20 years ago, a tiny booth cost me 150 to 350 dollars.I imagine the cheapest booth at Comic-con would run into the thousands today.And ALL vendors are required to qualify under strict guidelines, and be licensed.No piracy, or promotions by attendees without booths, would be tolerated.So….. Tiffany having her own booth, or holding an autograph session as Zeye without Elwood’s backing, would be totally unrealistic, and make this seem like…. you know….. just a comic strip or something.
imbaldeagle over 13 years ago
So, Susan – you’re saying that Tiffany is there because ELWOOD wants her there? How strange, since Elwood’s latest Zeye model was Luanne! Maybe the ring-thing changed his mind …
BackwardsHatWearingGuy over 13 years ago
Was just chatting with DeGrootinForLuann and she thinks that Luann is going to crash the real Zeye’s booth at noon. And get this, the real Zeye is Luann! It’s possible! Right? It could happen. DeGrootingforLuann has come up with some crazy ideas that proved right in the end. Admit it!!!
BackwardsHatWearingGuy over 13 years ago
correction, Tiffany is going to crash the real Zeye’s booth, my mistake.
DeGrootingforLuann over 13 years ago
Thanks for the correction Lebowski! I seems like we’re all trying to figure out how Luann figures in. Could be that Greg decides to let Tiffany have this one but we fans love the conflict so — BOOM SHAKA LAKA — bring it on!
Ottodesu over 13 years ago
Maybe the stand is where all the Zeye lookalikes will congregate at the same time … Tiff may even win a prize, she does “Goddess” very imperiously, as would be expected from someone who totally lacks empathy.
RBLawyer over 13 years ago
Maybe Elwood sues Tiff for copyright infringment and damage to his intellictual property.
lmross over 13 years ago
hello. they are at ComicCon..cool! does this mean Luann and her family all live in San Diego??
