Luann: "Our 17 self-portraits are due today. Did you guys do yours?"
Student 1: "Yeah"
Student 2: "Right here!"
Luann: "That looks like 17 sheets of black paper"
Student 1: "Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't have used a sharpie..."
Student 2: "I used a copier!"

Well, they are kind of expressive, as to who they are….one thinks “in black”, and the other wasted toner trying to show they were “toned”… – And in a way, they’re both unique- it’d be pretty hard to accuse anyone of “copying” off of their work, considering one of them is opaque, and the other one actually is a bunch of copies…

For a guy with so much stubble on his face, the jock has so little body hair. I think he must be waxing.- Or manscaping.. hehe

If they are all about who they are Luann might have brought in 17 mirrors.
Pointspread over 9 years ago
I think you’re right.

The color of Luann’s chair is one color before she sits in it, but the piece of it you can see after she sits is another color. This means absolutely nothing, but it is the kind of thing people comment on!

When my daughter started Art school, At CCAD, she had to turn in a self portrait for public display the first week of classes. So, she did a colored pencil drawing of herself in the ‘negative’. We took a picture of it with real film and the negative of the picture came out as a positive… that was pretty cool. This was back in the fall of 2000 before digital photography became the standard it is today.

Okay Lu. Your New “Friends?”
I’d HANG with the Neanderthal Guy. Because unlike the JOKER You’re Currently “Dating,” This Caveman is at least SINCERE, and Seems pretty Strong and could probably change a FLAT Tire by Lifting Your Car with One Hand.
On the Other Hand I’d AVOID the Brooding One-Eyed Guy at ALL Costs as He STRIKES Me as Being the Type Of Person Who Secretly LOVES Slashing Pretty Young Things Into Itty, Bitty BITS.

Welcome to college level work, Lu. It’s going to take some getting used to.

All black? I wonder if he was influenced by Spinal Tap
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
Yeah, probably. To me, the idea of waxing/manscaping or whatever it may be being called at the moment seems so utterly pointless and rather obsessive. Hell, I hate shaving my face, and gave that up many, many decades ago when I was 19 (except for a grudgingly done, once a week trimming at my neckline).
2Goldfish over 9 years ago
This is getting ridiculous. College students aren’t that stupid.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
RB2… I call the one Semi-Goth guy and the other Semi-jock guy because I do not know their names. I would think Luann does know their names.
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
As a professor myself, the student’s behavior is not all that far fetched. While most students do not behave in the fashion of Semi-Goth guy nor Semi-Jock guy…. there is a 1-3% WHO DO behave in ways akin to what we see here. We professors tend to remember these exceptions to the rule rather ruefully throughout our careers.

Same ole stereotypes from when Luann was in high school. Yeah yeah, it’s just a comic don’t take it to serious, also don’t complain you should only say nice things about the comic.
SactoSylvia over 9 years ago
I was momentarily shocked to find that we had (collectively) married Luann off to Elmo – er- Eldon. No doubt she would have led an interesting life, but I do think something just a bit more routine suits her better. But… I wonder if the collective “we” didn’t go a bit overboard on “routine.”?
reedkomicks Premium Member over 9 years ago
Check out the poll results above.
Argy.Bargy2 over 9 years ago
I really wasn’t talking about your comments on the teacher. I was responding to your suggested reaction of the teacher to Luann’s homework…

nice to see Puddles found a GF ;) maybe the Santa dog after all

If Jock drew the original, he’s amazing!(The other guy is either brilliant or deeply depressed & Imo should all 911.)

if Emo boy REALLY used a sharpie on black paper, it is possible to see the portraits under special lights

you are projecting your feelings ………… their looks are kind of ambiguous but leaning to them being happy, which is how I see it(but might be projecting influenced from my part as much as yours) ………….. the only “kind of true” view is what Greg wanted to show
wiselad over 9 years ago
as i said, you projecting……… lot of extremely rich people who can travel all over the world and have adventures feel unhappy while the girl that lives in a very small farm with her husband and 2 kids in west Virginia lives a life that makes all of them very happy
wiselad over 9 years ago
so you think, you don’t know if she is happy being a teacher, you don’t know what job Q has, you don’t know if they travel all the time on vacations to Australia and all over the world, you assuming someone in a suburb must be a walmart associate or something like that and not have a good paying interesting job, you seem to be the type of person who dislikes shows with a family like one in full house but love the idea of a family like one shown in Dynasty

In case you missed it, too…*Much of today’s discussion is about the results of the poll. To understand it, click on the “Click Here” sign at top (or side)
wiselad over 9 years ago
the important thing is that GREG decided that the Elwood one would be the funny one and the second one is what most people either saw as “most likely” or wanted more to happen, I can easily see Delta being part of the school board, Bern being the school counselor and Lu a teacher in an elementary school
wiselad over 9 years ago
many politicians start at school boards and city council on their way to federal government positions
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
Elwood “of the future” looks a lot like Danny DeVito!
Pipe Tobacco Premium Member over 9 years ago
I actually do not mind being furry. It is warmer in the winter, and though you may not believe it, cooler in the summer.
wiselad over 9 years ago
greg can easily draw Lue living in something like this http://www.tear.org.au/static/images/made/static/images/common/slumSurvivorReality_350_232_s.jpg and smiling, or like this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q-TnQXyizKc/UJH27ohrnZI/AAAAAAAAHqs/7l_BizMok5w/s1600/halloween-costume-party-easy-costumes-ideas-bank-robbers-teletubby-burglar-rosie-the-riveter-2.jpg as she decided to be a bank robber and smiling and happy ( until arrested or killed at least )

unless poor Elwie went bankrupt, he would never be in a cheap Winnebago, he would get a mansion, and even if he went bankrupt, motivational speakers get very highly paid, so I just can’t see him going with the Winnebago …………….. NOW if instead of elwie we had Knute………………. I could see the Winnebago scenario as long as Lue is not a speaker (maybe work in the library)
wiselad over 9 years ago
talking to RB2 is like trying to tell Alex P Keaton that Nixon did some bad things while president, and he responding back that we think Nixon did not do anything good, and RB2 talks about “changes of interest” when convenient(Elwie) but can’t concede that possibility when we speculating Delta being at 43 part of the school council ……… he is stubborn and feels things should go his way

Does Luann look happier in picture “A” here
Or in picture “B” here?
Well, considering to whom she was standing next in each of these shots, I think it;‘s clear why she’s happier in picture “B.” ;-PPP
wiselad over 9 years ago
during the Aaron era, he was shown as “too full of himself” and Lue did not know him as a person deeply, and at those times I preferred Gunther to him ………. Elwood has been shown to be a “got the money, you better love me” attitude while Q actually brings the best of Luann, the only one I would consider besides him is Ben
Airman over 9 years ago
Elwood must have thought that Luann was worth the climb. Either way, she looks too tired for just 43. At least, in the first picture, she finally acquired lips.
Sisyphos over 9 years ago
Luann has more initiative and/or smarts than her art classmates at Pitts CC! When was she last (if ever) the “brains” of her class?!
RSH over 9 years ago
I guess we had to wait a week (or was it two) for this. Hopefully Luann will get some positive feedback on her work from Zebo.
wiselad over 9 years ago
usually RB2 likes to choose the “less chosen alternative”, so he would probably would love it if Luann and Tiffany are ones ending up together while the “dull Q” goes sad(VERY SAD) down under and Gunther ends up with Sun and Rosa marries Juan Huayhua of Peru
wiselad over 9 years ago
I read Q’s expression in the bonus page as calm and satisfied, at peace with his life
wiselad over 9 years ago
he said she was happy, not unhappy …………. you saying she prefers to be called unhappy?
wiselad over 9 years ago
taking aside what certain actors did in real life(is stupid judging the show by that), I prefer the Cosby show over married with children and I prefer 7th heaven over revenge
wiselad over 9 years ago
I and someone else have mentioned. Greg chose the most normal names, decided not to use Deforest
JayBluE over 9 years ago
Actually, that last one reminds me of one I neglected… “Sharpie Dressed Man” (♫)
JayBluE over 9 years ago
Using the “wide mouthed expression” cue, I’d say “B”. A lot of times, a person is “depicted” as happy, with a smile. The wider (or more open) the “more” happy they’d seem. – But to be honest, a lot goes on in one’s “house” behind the “windows and doors”, no matter how open they may be. So you never know- “A” could be just as happy, if not more….
JayBluE over 9 years ago
It obvioulsy was a conscious effort by Mr. Evans to make “B” seem brighter and happier, but I’d also put forward the notion that a relaxed countenance could equal “contentment”, from a lot of “living” having been done… – But the fact that we know Elwood in the manner that he’s depicted would seem to also influence us (probably even the Evanses, too) to feel that she wouldn’t be as “happy” there…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
Sometimes people put on a “brave face” to make sure that they don’t seem like a bitter person, but all the while could feel as though they are having to wear a constant façade…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
Yes, you must have missed it. The Trek references were actively discussed, especially towards middle and end….
JayBluE over 9 years ago
LOLOL!!!!
wiselad over 9 years ago
I don’t know about how other people see it, but if we go “depth or strength of character” (not time it has been part of the strip), Quill has more than Aaron (so much that I preferred G to Aaron, but I prefer Q over G for Luann), and Aaron never grew, while Brad of now is so much more grown up than Brad of 1985 ……….. Quill I saw as a combination of the best of Aaron(looks and such) and Best of Ben, as Quill knows what he is but does not allow that to go to his head(like Aaron and Tiff) and he thinks of others and not just of himself

This is such a sad picture. Why post it? The woman is obviously mentally ill.
GOGOPOWERANGERS over 9 years ago
Yea i rather see luann marry gunther rather than elwood but that’s just me

SPOILER ALERT!!!!-Luann is about to face judgment (by a wacko)…
Argythree over 9 years ago
Thanks for removing it. She may have intended it to be funny, but I can’t help feeling that she was doing the same kind of defensive stuff that one of my old high school friends used to do, before she had stomach stapling. She beat everyone to their snide remarks by making fun of herself first…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
No, I still see it the same way and agree with you! It’s just that when I refreshed, all of a sudden I saw someone saying it was removed, and I thought maybe I was speaking too soon, and I wanted to make sure I was accurately explaining things…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
??? – I don’t know how else to relate to you what happened!
JayBluE over 9 years ago
And I don’t particularly care to be “lumped” in with RB…
JayBluE over 9 years ago
I wasn’t taking it down out of a “change of heart”, I took it down, because I thought that maybe at that point I was saying the right thing at the wrong time and wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just “speaking in the wind”. You had taken it down. Argy thanked you, and I I wanted to make sure I wasn’t “keeping the fires burning” on a matter that was being “squashed” (by the picture being taken down). I was also wondering “if he took it down”, did I myself misunderstand his post? I kept checking back before the new strip posted. When you posted afterwards, it confirmed that I didn’t get it wrong… but everything happened at the same time, and then this misunderstanding….
ironman01 over 9 years ago
Why is it I think the but job prof is going to give an F to Luanne and really like the other two.
