Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 27, 2011

Get real, Brad. It will be years from now before that even becomes possible.

Hold onto that thought Brad. Optimism never hurt anyone.

Brad must also believe in the Easter bunny.

Just get MARRIED already!!!!!!

I can appreciate Brad’s optimistic attitude. When this drama at Weenie World is over. It would be natural that Brad would get called back to duty. I think this will happen sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

PS: If any of the posters here are in the path of Hurricane Irene. I hope that everything goes well for you!

It’s been a while since I checked in with “Luann,” since lately I’ve only been interested in what Brad, Toni, and TJ are up to. I see the WeenieWorld plot is starting to get more exciting. I still think they should introduce Ann to TJ. Not only would two manipulative minds get to meet, but also TJ might distract Ann from Brad… just a thought.

Brad needs to work on the current emergency before thinking about going back to leather lungin’ it!

What Kind of world would it be without

WeenieWorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy her a weiner and send her on her way…..your on drive thru now man!!!!!!!

Toni has pretty much summed it up for me. Thank goodness one of this couple is grounded in reality! Brad’s undying optimism puts him in a long line of fictional characters, but he’s living in an impenetrable self-delusion nonetheless.

Hey, he could be really depressed and acting like an angry jerk. I’ll take optimism anytime….

Brad should be at the top of the list when someone in the Pittsville FD retires. Unless the budget battle forces a strike, then Brad should be at the top of the list when they start asking for scabs.

Brad may have a real shot at his firefighter job because firefighters do retire and some become disabled. It’s a dangerous and stressful job and attrition is ongoing.

Brad Has 2 strikes now one ball. It’ up to Greg!

The reason Ann E. put him on drive thrru is plain. He no longer will be in a position where people can just talk to him.He’ll be’ll be too busy for that. Way to go Ann.

..love her tat…

“Dear Greg Evans. How about in Your NEXT book, you draw NOTHING but VERY HOT Looking WOMEN! (Signed) Your Pal Mordock999”.

Hey, Brad!? Howza ’bout THAT Coffee to GO???

Now I reckon both women are looking like cats. Ann knows where her prey is and can play with it any time ahead of devouring. Toni looks like a cat that encounters a puppy: harmless and cutely stupid. (I have always felt that the term “cute” is really a patronising way to say without any power.)

@ DaJellyBelly – Also thinking of our readers on the east coast in path of Irene….BTW, is anyone else intrigued with Toni’s tattoo? I can’t quite make it out.

I actually think Brad is just playing it safe… i use the “dumb optimistic” one my self … that way i dont get in too much trouble and get to enjoy the catfight :)

@ Dave53: …and your point is?

Pulled your fat out of the fire that time, Brad. It was starting to look like you planned to stay at WW a long time.

I believe that Toni’s tattoo is a firefighter’s emblem. She is one cool firefighter! Let’s hope that the “new budget” does not result in a Toni Daytona layoff. Can you imagine Toni working with Brad at WW?

@ Dave53 – Good point. I have been offline for a couple weeks. My daughter is with the fire department as a paramedic. Did not recognize the symbol, but it makes sense that Toni would have it. Thanks!

If Brad thinks the new city budget will be better then he certainly hasn’t been watching the news of late. The way it’s going it will be jobs at Weenie World for most of Middle America soon!

Maybe they might need more fire fighters from the storm that is coming. Brad might get that call today LOL

Folks Brad is in a union and got laid off. First time some one retires he is first back. So can be any time that he could be called back. They have to take back in order they lay off in real life but in comic life any thing Greg wants can happen LOL

It is beautiful here in the North West thinking of all you on the eastcoast.

why is it that women in powerful positions are always depicted as being evil? Is it so hard for people to imagine powerful women as being good?

It is tegm LOL

Has Brad been hanging out with Toni’s brother?

A month? I think that’s more optimistic than Brad. It would take a lot longer since in Luann we switch storylines every week or so.

Is it weird that Ann is just letting Brad sit on his behind all day long even though minutes ago she told him to start working with the headset. She was freaking out and overreacting when he took two minutes out of his day to say hello to Toni but today he’s been talking for what must have at least been a half hour and she’s just alright with it.

The significance of the last name Eiffel? Oh, come on!! An eye full. Here’s your sign.

Also since Toni isn’t ordering anything and not even taking Ann’s offer of a meal, she’s showing that she’s NOT there to be a customer like she said she was. Her only reason for being there is to distract Brad. Maybe Ann has a point about her presence being bad for Brad’s work ethic. In any case today she gave Toni an opportunity to show that she’s a customer rather than a distraction to her workers but Toni blew it and gave Ann a reason to ban her.

Dirk needs to re-enter the picture!

BTW, Brad lost the drive thru headphones from yesterday ;)

My thoughts exactly. The economy can be whatever Greg wants it to be.

Prediction: Ann will eventually pick the wrong enemy (if she hasn’t already), and it will cost her her job, which will go to – Brad..I can see why she went for Zane. She’s a control freak, and at least subconsciously she overestimates a paraplegic’s dependency on others. Obviously she never watched “Rear Window.”

poor Brad. but it’s really a sign of the times, and the city budget will not get better.

Well he is trying to make lemon aid out of the lemons he has been handed.. If Toni has a better idea for him to be mployed or can get him another job. Then it is time for to say something rather than bearing her claws at brads boss. JMO

The tattoo is crossed fire axes around a standard fire shield. Very common symbol among firefighters

Toni is going to get tired of Brad being naive, hopefully this turns around. Maybe Brad will save the police chief’s son from choking and save the day and get his old job back!

tegm said:why is it that women in powerful positions are always depicted as being evil? Is it so hard for people to imagine powerful women as being good?-—————————————————————I don’t exactly look upon the manager of a fast food joint as a powerful position.

No, we sure wouldn’t. Because we’d be a part of Nazi Germany since about 1944.

Maybe there will be a grease fire in the kitchen and Brad and Toni put it out and become heroes!

Brad finally says something to redeem himself with Toni a bit. He’s still lost in space when it comes to his prospects at this job, and maybe firefighting, but at least he’s telling Toni he wants to be with her.

Tiffany is the best girl in the strip and don’t blow it, Brad!
