Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for January 06, 2014
Transcript:
Quill: "I think the DJ left a long time ago" Luann: "There was a DJ?" Luann: "Quill, when we dance close like this, you know what I feel?" Quill: "Uh... that there's something between us?" Luann: "Contested frustration" Quill: "Sort of a peaceful excitement"

They’re dancing to the sound of the windmills in their mind… – I guess Lu and Quill are also volunteering to be the clean-up crew…

At least this couple seems to be happy. The only reason why Luanna’s frustrated right now is that she needs some…serious relief. Fortunately Quill can help her with that. Unfortunately, Frank will be most displeased.

Since we know Lu isn’t going to become an unwed Mom, I can only guess that they will both be taking cold showers, tonight

Slightly risqué, Sara? (Rhetorical question… Strangely, Rhetorical never answers them)

Meanwhile, on the Berger’s front doorstep, Gunther is becoming a man. Or as much of a man as he can become in five minutes with his mother waiting on him.

They are engaged in intimate though-sharing. Building a relationship that is good and endearing.

I guess that can’t be a scam, then… people would be able to see the transparency in that business….

I’m still wondering if this was a school dance, or did someone rent out the Pitts Area Convention Center?….

My momma always said that dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal intention. “There’s something between us…I think it’s my _ _ _ _ _…”

Now, now, you two! Leave some room for the Holly Spirit.
As for the venue, I think it’s the Pitt"s Country Club. Where their slogan is, "Even our country club is the Pitts!

This gave me a sweet memory of my first high school dance date. A blonde, she wore a similar blue dress and the band played…….“Devil with the Blue Dress On”!

Having happily gotten rid of my virginity at 15 (46 years ago) I kind of think that the strip’s morality is a little out of date (and very sweet). But let’s get real. Luann is actually in her what — late 30s or early 40s as far as the actual timeline goes?
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Just thought I’d share this with you (and everybody else!)… – Just a bunch of “funny” expressions that people misquote, like: “Supposably”, “For all intended purposes”, or “Cutting off your nose in spite of your face”….

“Contented frustration” sounds as if this strip will spend the rest of the year continually bringing the characters to the very verge of doing something, and then they’ll stop. Over and over again, because they’re contented to do that. Now, there’s something for all readers to look forward to!

Evans is right on the money. Teenagers have sex imprinted in neon straight on the cortex. They’re interested and the innuendoes are gonna fly. (at least they did when I was a teenager…)

Will those two go out to their Toyota Corolla and lower the passenger side front seat as far as it will go. Then years later, when the bumper sticker that says, “Try it in a Toyota”, becomes popular again, they will snicker and say, “It’s as easy said as done.”

Obviously, at least for the moment, Quill is an outie

It sounds like Luann is attracted to him but can wait a while. Rosa would love to have a man who was attracted to her and could show it. Thank goodness we don’t have to suffer through more awkwardness with Gunther this week.

This is a “Family Strip”, Mr. Evans. I read “Luann” because it is. Please remember that.
cwkrrk almost 11 years ago
after 30 years of marriage, I miss that feeling!
Argy.Bargy2 almost 11 years ago
-what exactly is “contented” frustration?-I think what is being said is that Luann is very attracted, but willing to wait – what Locake said.about 30 minutes ago…
Willow Mt Lyon almost 11 years ago
When the DJ leaves, usually the crowd disperses. Why are so many people still there, and why are their feet pointed toward the dance floor? Oh.

First, who said Brad & Toni (both 20+) are not sleeping together. Second, if my mid-fifties high school days are any example, most couples going steady for more than a year were having [carefully] sex. This thread may be leading in that direction.

This song from England Dan and John Ford Coley is the second official song of Jay and Nissey (the Mrs. and I), entitled “Just The Two Of Us”. It kinda captures the romantic aspects of the fact that they are dancing all alone, to the music in their minds and hearts, and have “shut the world out”, relatively speaking, as they enjoy each other’s presence… – The second official song of us is also in a similar vein, “Slow Dancing”, both the Johnny Rivers and the Olivia Newton John version and our third song is “Reminiscing” by Little River Band"… these two songs are also brought to mind, at least for me, when I see today’s strip….

So, Luann is content with her frustration? I guess that’s her way of saying she’s not yet ready to go all the way, even though in love with Quill. They’re nice kids….
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
I’ve said it before, and I hold fast to this…. I personally did have experience….many like me (male and female) also have …but… my wife didn’t …. and believe it or not, there are those like her, who have waited until marriage….. not everybody is doing it… – Before I met her, I came to see the value of waiting until marriage, and my wife (who came to this conclusion before meeting me, and shares the same religious values, outlook, etc.) herself saved herself until marriage… we enjoy a healthy married life, where we can enjoy each other physically and emotionally within the bounds of our marriage… – But, again, my point is, that there is evidence that not everybody is doing it… and our ability to control our flesh and feed it at the right times and also our ability to reason is part of what makes us human, and separates us from creatures who only go on instinct and emotion…..
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
Well, I have to say that I appreciate your humor, and I do appreciate a wide variety of humor on GoComics, as well as here on Luann…..

You say a third claim to be new and unused.That would mean two thirds do not make that claim.Then you say the average age of first time is 16 ot younger, as if that disputes the two thirds number.Me not see you problem..Statistics a problem?.Next question: Do you believe every member of a data set does whatever the average does?
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace almost 11 years ago
Most are not judged by the lowness of the group but by the heights of the individual..Resardless, if you have your heart set on watching people “do the deed”, there are many sites which will gratify you..And yes, it would still be considered slutty as the names and titles on your kind of sites makes clear. If you do not consider such events other than “just another day” as some pretend, then you are fooling yourself. (The 573rd might not be special, but as Banana makes clear, FIRST is different. But maybe you think this would be number 573, which will likely be at 83 for thee.)

There is a segment of society that are clean. And they wish to be. I was a virgin when I married. I chose to be. Now if you (or others) choose not to be, that is your choice.

Beautiful, Greg. How nicely done.

Just because they are doing it does not mean it is right. If everyone you know is brain dead and jumping off a cliff, does mean you should? Use your head, man.

Off subject, sorry…. but up here, we’re slated to go 0-8°, with wind chills of 15-45°….

BRRRRRR……The outside thermometer reads 7 degrees F and the wind is howling. That’s all for tonight. Will read further comments in the morning – unless we’ve lost electricity by then.

Sex is for marriage. For the marriage institution. It is not meant for use outside of marriage. It is a gift between a man and wife. List Corinthians 6:9: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither Fornicators (sex outside of marriage) nor Idolators (worship of anything but God) nor Adulterers, nor Effeminate, etc..shall inherit the Kingdom Of God.” There is only one other place. If you choose to disregard God and all He stands for, that only leaves one other place. And it is a place of eternal fire and horror..torment with no relief. A wise man (person) will choose God’s side and live for Him now.
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
I think I can see the light from his grill on this side… Wow!!! He’s really cookin’ with gas!!… – Since you all are behind the times (3 hours or so, minutes may vary), I am looking at a barbecue in the past! …..
gkid almost 11 years ago
To choose God’s side, you make a choice. Choose to live for Him. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart now. “Lord Jesus, please come into my heart right now. Please forgive me for everything I have done wrong. I am sorry. I believe you are the Son of God. I give you my life. I will do everything I can to live for you. Thank you for saving me. Amen.” If you said this prayer and meant it —you are now God’s property. You have chosen God’s side.
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
There’s done well…. and well done… – And then there’s the taste of a BBQ… the best of both worlds!….
gkid almost 11 years ago
Wise one. And I agree with Said…that we all live in a land with the right to free speech and religious freedom. That is what makes it America. The land of the free.

Those words that so offend you are not my words. They are God’s. I am just the messenger. If you find God’s words unbearable, you will need to take it up with Him. I hear He’s up 24/7; they say He neither slumbers nor sleeps. Thanks.
JayBluE almost 11 years ago
You’re quite welcome!…
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace almost 11 years ago
That’s fine..I just tire of those chanting, “DO IT DO IT DO IT! OR ELSE YOU’RE GAY!”.Sex should not be for the gratification of spectators nor should people engage in it to avoid name calling..I have three cousins fathered by a man who had to ignore the fact he was with a woman rather than what he REALLY wanted. They had a miserable life while growing up.Life should not be that bad.
