Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for September 10, 2014

A thing of the past high school was.

“The Highs Of High School Lows”“Those Were The Days?” (♫)“With A Straight Face”“School Daze”“It’s All A Blur”“The Way We Weren’t” (♫)“One Day Past From The Good Old Days”" Good Old Detention And Café Slop"or“You’ve Lost That Shovin’ Feeling” (♫)

No, you really don’t miss high school, but there are many times you can still share with each other about the funny things that seem even funnier now. It is going to take time to fully turn to college life, but for now, enjoy! ;)

How’s university? Luann’s Canadian? Eh? LOL ;)

They may soon miss the good old days, when Mr. Fogarty didn’t care what they handed in for homework or how well they did on the tests. Maybe their current institutions have actual standards for performance. Bernice can surely adjust to that, but can Luann?

I guess the mysterious Dez hasn’t shown up yet. Maybe Viper is there getting her a carry out.

I recognize that shun tactic! The old “Russian Bearhug” manuver.. she’ll squeeze Luann into wanting to leave her alone! – Oh, wait- maybe that was just Bernice smothering Luann! Never mind, then….

Congrats and happy travelling, sir!

I miss college almost every day. Don’t miss high school in the least.

Could be a “Frosty” for desert. Luann was right in the middle of dinner at her house….

Don’t agree..believe the two will be friends forever…

Hi, Gary13! I was over at yesterday’s site reading the rest of the posts there! Anyway, here I am! LOL! ;)

“Eheheheh”… LOL!!! ;)

Good theater in today’s strip.

Thanks, Brdshtt! (My hub still gets a laugh off your GC name LOL!) ;)

Thanks, Gary13! I’ll probably get back to it later on it the day as it is getting kind of late here (!) Where has the time gone???! ;)

Will miss you here! I hope you enjoy your job! See you then! ;)

LOL!!! ;)

“…so she can move on and meet new friends.” ^And finally find someone who isn’t Luann to be her new millstone burden dead weight rock in her life….. (end sarcasm tone here.)

Yes, I did! Thanks! ;)

I canNOT believe how fast time flew tonight!!! It’s five minutes ‘till the Witching Hour and I Still haven’t visited my other comics! (“Luann” is Always the first one I “turn” to!) Soooo, anyway, I will say ’Nite for now (IS Katie is giving me that you Better put me to bed Now! look LOL! ;)-———————————————————————————“I have laboured to refine our language to grammatical purity, and to clear it from colloquial barbarisms, licentious idioms, and irregular combinations.”(Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784)

LOL about buying the vowels! Almost forgot about that program…haven’t watched much TV in awhile…always either have a good book in my nose, or am doing laundry, errands, checking in at “Luann,” reminiscing about an old high school friendship and all of that “nonsense” (LOL!!!) ;)

I really like how today’s lines up with “Luann Again” her quip about 1st period P.E. is the basis for the classic strip joke.

Speaking of TV, a good time for me to sign off…

Is it just me, or are these comments losing their punch and passion?

Certainly know carry on an artificial conversation, can they?

Simply love panel one. Greg seems to be enjoying finding creative places to put his signature lately.

“STINKY?”“YUCK??”“GAG???”

Are You Ladies REALLY Talking ’bout the the Weenie World Cuisine or Something????

LOL! (Hugging – the new way to shun…)

Whistlng in the Dark me thinks…

A test pattern!! Haven’t seen one of those in, like, decades….

Of course, we haven’t had the chance to see what Bernice’s day was like, but let’s try to imagine what kind of unique social outing she could have gone to with a hamster and a questionable paper bag, while waiting for her mysterious roommate to put in an appearance.-News flash: college kids hang out, too. AND some of them eat at fast food restaurants.

Congrats and good luck with the new job!

Hmmm… what about TJ?

I had first period P.E. in college, and we had to wear these terrible gym outfits. The shorts were 1965 style skin tight stretch shorts, and the tops were gold and white horizontal stripes. Ugh!!! They weren’t any better than those onesie romper suits we had to wear in high school.

> …. has Greg Evans, in your eyes, ever gotten something right ?>Of course he has. Today’s strip, for instance, is a perfectly believable interaction between these two particular characters, under this particular circumstance. However, when a character does something completely unbelievable (such as flying off to live in Peru, without spending even 10 minutes ahead of time learning what she would be getting into), then I shall call him out on it. This leads me to ask you the opposite of what you asked me: has Greg Evans, in your eyes, ever gotten something wrong (and if so, what)? It seems to me that many people herein apparently believe that Greg is always right, no matter what.

I did pretty well and was pretty happy to leave.

I think they miss high school and each other

if you don’t like what Evans doing do your own cartoon

Why is Bernice & Tiffany living in a dorm? Isn’t the university right there in town?

So whatever happened with TJ’s food truck..?

Yeah, you walk into WW, but you see the menu, and think: “Did I come to the right place?”

But then again, there are still some old storylines that we’re also waiting to see. I believe that once we focus on Brad and Toni, or “the Mobile Meltdown”, or “Plan Denial”, you’d see the “vim and vigor” because it’s centered on stuff that’s already “familiar” and that we’ve already been “invested” in….

I miss high school every day. College is lonely and overrated. I’m glad that Luann and Bernice seem to share at least some of my feelings, although it’s early for them yet, whereas it’s too late for me …

Meta entertainment at its best.

Probably my favorite memory comes from a night at a football game my senior year of HS. Colder than a witch’s [*] that night. And it was a road game against our biggest rival school. Took me a while to realize that the cheerleaders were doing a hack to the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In” in a key that was easily played by HS brasses. I played sousaphone; I took two trombones with me down to where the cheerleaders were set up, told Danny to play the melody and Bob to do the Dixieland rips; and when the cheerleaders came back around, I counted us in and off we went. Don’t know how long we kept that cheer going; but it was long enough for the band director to figure out what I’d done, and to bring down a bass drum, a snare drum, and the cymbalist. So now we had a whole rhythm section helping to push the cheer along. I think the girls started falling off before we were done playing. Just lost that band director earlier this year. Very sad day that was.

So young, these two, for sentimental reminiscences of days gone by! The nostalgia is positively overwhelming, already!

Torment + Time = Funny story

Gary13 – See ya. Drive safe and do good! (Never fear, Underdog is here.)

You’re a poet and you didn’t know it. Be careful on the road. See you in six.

What. No flag waving and Star Spangled Banner plus that annoying sound?

Ladies and gentlemen: Based on the last panel, I suggest that we raise our feet off the floor. The B.S. is starting to flow.

Everyone – I’ve accepted a temporary job that’s going to keep me on the road a lot, many long long days, so when I disappear have no fear. Hey, that rhymes. I may be out of circulation for six or so weeks.

No excuses! Remember, even the budget hotels have Wifi now! :-PPP

Seriously, best of luck. We’ll still be here.

To go with the test pattern, here is the annoying sound:

That was a test of the “Emergency Broadcast System…” That was only a test!

;-PPP

I wasn’t looking for sympathy, but it is kind of awesome of you guys to offer it so kindly. There are some cool people here. You’ve given me new ideas and new hope to improve my life in university. (I’m in Canada, so according to some other commenters that’s the word I should use?) Anyway, cheers, guys. Wish Luann and I luck in the days ahead …

Oh, and Gary13, best of luck from me too!

LOL, just for you:

Heh Heh heh…

Gen “2” of the EBS test sound (2 toned). I recall when it was just the single tone you posted earlier and the broadcast of the “CD” slide. I assume that came from the old “air raid” drill days.

Now, it’s that freaking awful “Enhnnnnnhhhh,,,, Ennnh,,Ennnh,,Ennnh,,” noise :-|

This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been a real emergency, you’d be dead now.

Kiss your rear end goodbye-lol!

I was concerned, Kimosabe…. I thought maybe it was “the penalty box” (or the “Ex Box”, if you will….), – But I can understand your sitch! If you’ve got a nice library, it can be a nice spot to do research, quietly study, and so forth- but as far as seeing how the computers there go, If it’s like my public library is, you’ve got a “tough road to hoe”, as I’m sure they’d have a “time limit” and you have to “battle for the queue”. I’m sure you’ll be ecstatic once your system is back up and running….

Wow! Since my hub can’t really do much of anything (physically because of severe arthritis), he watches TV in the midst of building Lego sets on his computer most of the day. At night, we both are in bed reading good books! The problems with good books is that I have some from the library, a few from Amazon, some from Nat’l Geographic (have a gorgeous one on Alaska!), some from a Christian Book Club and some from a Christian Outlet Book Store. Oh, and of course, I get The National Geographic magazines and also Archaeology. For fun, I get a few different magazines about cross-stitching. The problem is that I have so many different things to read I don’t know where to start most evenings LOL! ;)

Why are you so hung up on wantingLuann and Bernice’s friendship to end? I mean, reallllyyyy… ;)

I still don’t understand your hangup about Bernice and Luann remaining friends (which doesn’t mean that they can’t meet new people, too). You sure seem fixated on that. ;)

I, too, liked CCs better as far as the instructors being personally interested in the student and how s/he is getting along in their particular class. Went to 10 different ones on and off here and there. Wasn’t disappointed with any of them. And, their Intro courses didn’t have 200-400 students in a carnivorous concert-like hall!!! ;)

Oh! I missed you!!! Hope the problem is fixable! ;)
