Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 28, 2014

“Friday Night Kiddie-Os”“We’re Crying Cos We’re Out Of Froot Loops!”“Getting Sentimental Over Onions”“♪….That’s Just An Alibi….♪”or “Whonk This Way”

Fun, fun, fun…but now reality has set in… ;)

Or “spiked the air”….

I’ve seen more fun in mausoleums…

These girls are getting “drunk” on separation anxiety… ;)

I always thought Night-Gaunt49 was an eloquent speaker…see my comment on the bottom of yesterday’s posts… ;)

Plenty of product placement. Smellogs and Tick-Czar must’ve dropped off a lot of their “unwanted greens”…

“Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired.”/Shakespeare, “Sonnets” ’Nite all wherever you are! ;)

No “Woodys” allowed at this party!

I know its a comic that appeals to a more conservative demographic but this is a little chaste…

So raise a cup of kindness now for auld lang syne

And you’re wanting your version of a car chase too.

that was a terrific toast…no wonder they’re all crying. i miss the friends that i thought would ’ALWAYS BE THERE…"

Finally; childhood’s end. Now, let’s get on with the events leading up to Prom Night! Hopefully, it will be wilder than the events of this week…

“Why is Tiffany not with them?”-She’s hanging out with Quill.

Tiffany is interviewing for a role in an adult movie involving being tattooed while skydiving drunk and gambling on the ’chute opening THIS time.(The part nearly literally dropped in her lap although nobody openly suspects foul play on her part yet.)

ReallyBad wrote “I worry that Evans doesn’t have what it takes to liven this strip up for the college years.”

Perhaps you hadn’t heard that Greg Evans has turned over the writing of the strip to his daughter Karen. I’ve been thinking the growth of the characters’ complexity has to do with that new person plotting their futures, and the memories of a younger woman about what time that was like.

I have been out of high school 46 years and I still remember how I felt the night of graduation. The realization that you are no longer a child but an adult with all the responsibilities and crap that goes with being an adult.

My grandchildren have questioned many times why mom and dad don’t get a spring break or the summer off. That was when they were in Elementary and by the time they are in middle school they understand and are NOT in that much of a hurry to grow up and work all the time, lol

OH Nice GOING, Ingrate. Telling the REAL “Founder of the Feast” to Get LOST.

But THAT’S Okay, Lu.

Because When YOU Finally Get Your 1st Entry Level Job and have to PAY for Rent, Utilities, Taxes, and that Eternal Student Loan, on an “Entry Level” Salary, Then You’ll KNOW Why Frank SCREAMED Bloody Murder About Not Wanting to HEAT the Whole Blasted Neighborhood EVERY Time YOU Left the Darn Front Door Open!!!

And about Your CRAPPY Father’s Day Gifts……,

“Wouldn’t Toy Story 3 be more appropriate?”^Plot-wise, you have a point. “3” was specifically closer in plot to that stage of “growing up and leaving people behind”. – It may be that Greg wasn’t looking for that, just wanted to mention something that’s older that to them may be a “classic” (in a broader, more general sense, as that movie is at the very least 10 years old) that they enjoy together, and “TS3” is still fairly recent…

Pure and wholesome – - so sweet! :-)

Yeah, tell Frank he has no business watching a movie on his own TV set. After all, he’s only MasterDad. (I get a feeling that on the day after high school graduation, Luann may find that her key no longer fits in the front door…)

After Dad leaves the porn DVD goes in…

We’re so happy we could just sit….

No doubt the jammies with feet are for later, upstairs. Nor let’s notforget the pillow fight.

No one else bothered to show up? Hmmmmm…

If those are nightgowns, I think they are representative of the women they will become. No more pajamas with feet, but not the sheer kind yet either.

-I always hate it at a party when the drunks get on a crying jag.-I don’t think the punch was spiked. I think they were getting teary-eyed about Delta’s toast. They’ve been talking about the future for awhile now and that toast brought it all home…

“Yep my favorite! You know me perfectly! ;)”^ Lol!…

Funny you should mention “moving vans”. They’re recalling the date of the “anniversary of the Mayflower” (From Baltimore to Indy)….. Not a lament around these parts, just a significant date in the area’s history….

My gosh, Luann really IS eating Fruit Loops. Has she never heard of peanut butter s’mores!!!!

-Why is Tiffany not with them?-This is supposed to be a group birthday party. So maybe Tiff doesn’t have a birthday at the same time as these three.

For her 19th birthday party, Luann will be joined on her sofa in front of the television by 2 new friends she will have met at Pitt CC. Bernice will celebrate her own birthday that same week, but across town in a dorm at Moony Uni. Crystal will have a birthday party on the planet Neptune, where her guests will be fellow exiles Aaron Hill and Mini-Elvis.

Ah, the pain of trying desperately to cling to the comfort of today rather than embrace the change of tomorrow!Flee, Frank, flee!

I was going to say at first it looked like your emoticon’s nose was “discharging a rocket” upwards, Lol!…..

A sweet moment. Take it for what it is.

I wonder, though, if their distress is over going separate ways, or perhaps (greater concern) that they will lose their friendship in the process? If they’ll always be friends, then they should figure out ways to reconnect.

Yeah, I know how that goes…. :)

Gweedo – you know Night Gaunt IN PERSON?!?!1) That makes you a celebrity, too (once removed)2) I thought Night Gaunt was a “she”. But guess I shouldn’t let that negate my good thoughts.

I’ve always thought beard were just too sexy— they symbolized strength and wisdom to me. Until my buds got them.)

“Noses” are “overrated”, anyway, Lol!…

I think they need a little VODKA in their Kool-Aid

If I happened to be a story consultant for this strip, there would be scenarios which would be rejected on the grounds that too many newspapers would drop it. However, it is a fact that many teenagers of the present day have knowledge of the existence of Alcohol, as did their ancestors. It might not be considered to be extreme to address that fact. So, who will get drunk on Prom Night?

Back in the past, there was a storyline which dealt with Bernice’s experience with someone who was familiar with an illegal herbal substance.

Ha, called it! (Except they’re eating Froot Loops instead of popcorn.) :-)

I love this! I think it’s one of my all time favorite scenes.

We have not seen Delta in a long time.
