Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 11, 2011

so now we learn what was her mom’s job

Minor nit-pick: In diplomacy, translators work only with written material. Interpreters are the ones who interpret spoken words in real time. Not saying she wasn’t a translator, but there’s more call for interpreters in embassies since they can usually fill both roles.

Now we’re getting somewhere.

He’s not stuttering or saying “ummm”… this is good.

LOL about the last one… but it’s “Porgy” – unless you think Gunther’s fat?

This is sweet stuff. Backstory plus pair-bonding. Rosa is really smoothing the way for Gunther and getting him to relax and open up a bit.

So now we know about them a little better. That’s nice.

Now we see where Gunther has come from. He lost his dad at an early age and did not have a male figure in the household. Also, because of this, his mother had to go to work and probably didn’t make much money. To save on expenses, she probably made Gunther’s clothes and that is where he gets his interest and talent for sewing. He probably has never been fishing or hunting. The types of activities that bond fathers and sons. ///// Meanwhile, Rosa has lived in several foreign countries and learned their languages and customs. She has a sweet and gentle disposition. However, I know from personal experience, that you don’t want to get a Hispanic woman angry. LOL They will turn on you and make you feel like you are in the midst of the fires of HELL! //// I’d like to add one other thing. Even though her father has that important job as a diplomat. He still took time to come to the beauty pageant and supported his daughter.

Grew up in France / Italy & Mexico only 16. So add the United States.

Love your spelling. Or is it just your pronunciation?

all this for a comic?

who the hell are Solomon and Gomorrah????

I agree with the woodman, people this is a comic, not real life! Go with it, enjoy it, and get a life yourselves!

“HOW”? — Said Mordock putting down his coffee mug.

“How, Rosa, are YOU and Gunther ALIKE??”

Ya gotta love Rosa’s big hair! I think she hasToni beat there.

Now if Rosa would just reach across the table and undo that top button…. instant transformation!

I think he was thinking of Sodom and Gomorrah, which weren’t people, they were cities.

Solomon and Gomorrah? Do you mean Samson and Delilah?

You know…I’m really feeling some kinda way about this “new” Rosa…seriously. Did Greg ever give us and answer as to why he gave her the “michael jackson”? Besides that fact that it’s “his comic”?

I remember “The Ed Solomon Show”.

Sodom and Gomorrah were cities destroyed for their sin of promiscuity, according to the Bible. I believe HectorPriam meant “Solomon and Sheba” and JerryTheK’s comment about Rosa’s “Growing up” in FOUR countries by the age of SIXTEEN is very astute. I think Greg made a mistake with that one.

Elvis and Costello?

Perhaps David and Bathsheba? The Queen of Sheba made a state visit to Solomon’s Israel, but that doesn’t fit the idea of lovers. King David, on the other hand, loved Bathsheba, and had her husband sent to certain death in battle so he could marry her

this is only pic I see of “Porky and Betsy”

@posterblue – Love is blind.

PORKY & Bess?? SOLOMON & Gomorrah???? Let’s try Porgy & Bess & Sodom & Gomorrah.

a flying Japanese turtle?? Giant or otherwise, I must have missed some anime somewhere.

Am I wrong or isn’t Luann all about the teen angst, that’s the whole purpose behind this strip. So where’s the problem here?

Porky? Solomon? – HectorPriam is just messing with our minds. Stirring the pot so to speak.

Both love classic books. That was what the topic of their conversations been these past weeks. I guess you hadn’t been around? Their romance started at the library where he works.

I thought his parents were supposed to have been divorced. Aw whatever, it’s better not.

Notice that Gunther is able to talk to Rosa without any … umms …

What do Solomon & Gomorrah have in common, anyway?

Never mind, I can live without knowing!

Seriously Romeo and Juliet are the only ones you got Right. Solomon was a Hebrew King and Gamorrah was an ancient city destroyed for its wicked ways by God. But we will give you a B for effort.

Did Solomon ever go to Gomorrah? Or was he treated for it?

I AGREE THIS IS A COMIC BY THE WAY DID ANY ONE ooops caps on the notice that we need to pay about 12 bucks a year for comics. Did not know this was coming must have been when the comics sites become one. Not bad price but said trial period over just want to check to see if any one else got it or is it a scam???

if you want the “comics page” with ALL UR FAV comics on one page, and those being sent to your email, than pay the 11 something; besides that, there is not much of a difference

I hate it when Greg changes his stories. Gunther said a couple years back that his dad left him, not that he died. The same thing happened with Shannon. She used to be a random kid that Luann babysitted, then when Toni came into the picture, she was her cousin, then a few years later she was her niece. I just hope he doesn’t do it again.

@HectorPriamI think you mean “Sodom” and Gomorrah@jenbrown1017they’re from the Bible.

seriously, WHAT does she see in him??
