Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 13, 2018

again, knock Ann Eiffel dead, Sheraton Sainte-Louise

Now I am really curious exactly how Tiffany will knock Ann’s knees down and get her to refund the money. 1. It is likely she’s spent the money. 2. Ann is evil at the core and will Tiffany be able to rise above that? She can be condescending and self – absorbed but she is not evil. Oftentimes, it takes an evil to take down another. 3. Ann has no conscience or moral – Tiffany does. 4. Huge age difference; experience vs inexperience. Considering the odds, I am really curious how the showdown will go down.

Too bad we probably will never find out the details of this plan…

Whoooooooa there Tiffany, You Voluptuous, Adorable, Delectable Hunk of “Powergirl,” You!

You’ve got Dez, Luann, and Tara Covered. But What about all the other Young Women Who were “ripped-off” by Ann Eiffel?

What Are “They?” Chopped Liver?

And Furthermore…..,

I’m Sorry. I just Can’t Shake this Image of Tiffany “pouring” out of a Powergirl Outfit, that’s now embedded in My head…..

I want Tiffany to win this one.

This is a more sober, determined Tiffany. I’m not seeing the sassy flirty Tiffany who was Luann’s nemesis.

In mind the encounter goes like this:

1. Tiffany declares that the Souffle lingerie is a fake.

2. Ann Eiffel tells her to prove it.

3. Tiffany disrobes and shows off her own personal Souffle lingerie that she is wearing underneath her clothing, OR Evans has her do something even stupider.

Ugh. I was all “Rah rah! Tiff will do it with her plan, if she can’t do it, no one can!”

Now… I am losing confidence with Each. Smug. Panel.

Anne is gonna chew her up like a dog with a cheap toy.

Edna Mode: “No Capes…”

Ann will have the real product around. We don’t want this to be easy.

Too late. Les knows about Tiffany’s plans, and he wants to protect his income. Disaster

If Tiffany’s Dad shows up – things might get very messy…

The last time Tiff tried to con someone (Dirk), it didn’t go so well.

They spent the money. No refunds means no refunds. They should have been wiser and not bought the items. Can’t blame Ann for making good money off the ‘easily persuaded’!

Have Luann and Tara even been told the lingerie is fake? Will they be there at the showdown? It would be interesting to see what they bought for their 400 bucks although (unfortunately) we are unlikely to see them wearing their new scanties. After all it’s a family cartoon.

I wonder if Ann Eiffel has been in Tiffany’s family home and has seen her pictures on the wall.So when Tiffany shows up at the party Ann will know who she is

Don’t count your chickens, folks. Ann is a lot older and a lot smarter than Tiffany.

Note to Ann Eiffel; Something wicked this way comes.

Guess we shall have to wait and see.

“Violence is never the answer”

Untrue. It is entirely dependent on what the question is.

I wonder if Ann’s downfall will affect Mr. Gray’s wedding plans.

Very interesting to find out what “plan” there is in mind, and how Ms. Princess will tangle with Ms. Cruella Daville. Tiffany’s acting ability should come in handy, but the basic issue is how do you con a con? Out grift a grifter. And on the issue I have been talking about—convergence—will it happen as part of the denouement?

What do you think that is around her neck, Dez?

“Cloak And Swagger”

“Where No Mantle Has Gone, Before”

“Cope, On A Hope”

“You Beat Me To The Poncho!”

“Are You A Good Tippet?”

“You Oughta Have That Stole Removed!”

“Who Subs A Hero For A Grinder?”

“Taking On The Plan Of Steal”

“Everybody Have Refund, Tonight” (♬)

“The Four Hundred-Aching-Woulds”

“If You Love Your Money, Set It Free….” (♪)

“Forget The Fraud Line, Fraulein!”

or

“Cos They’ve Got….High Hopes!….”  (♪)

Oh, if they had only called Christopher Robin, this would have been about….halfway longer than it’s probably gonna take….

For good, or for bad, this whole strip is getting complicated.

We shall see. Tiff may be good at manipulating people but Ann is a professional.

Too much build up for this to go according to ‘plan’. This could turn into a very nasty family situation. The potential Berger-Gray-Farrell mashup. Where are my worry beads? No… those are my Mardi Gras beads.

Tiffany sounds so confident. She much be planning to unleash her dormant scheming on Ann for the betterment of all.

I’m suspecting Tiffany may have some inside scoop on her father that she will drop as a bomb, or her father has told her some inside scoop on his girlfriend that Tiff can use against Ann.

nothing brings former enemies together like an outside new enemy.

Very captivating story arc presently! Here are a few of the thoughts I have about today:

1) I REALLY like the “Violence is never the answer.” statement by Dez. I have liked her as a character already, but this simple statement and the way Greg has drawn her saying this…. makes me like her as a character much more than even before!

2) I am still not sure if Tiffany’s plan is going to be a “smart” plan or a “vengeful” plan. The feel I get today is that it will be more likely a careful, smart plan…. but I am still not fully confident. I hope, however, it is so.

3) I am a bit surprised that Bernice sincerely asks if Tiffany will “hit” Ann physically. I would think that Bernice would know that is not a mode of Tiffany’s.

4) If Tiffany’s plan is a smart, careful plan that will logically and safely get Ann to refund the money… the question still remains about whether Ann will suffer any other repercussions for the deception or will she just give the money back and be let “off the hook” for the rest of the deception? It seems difficult to think that Tiffany’s plan could cause complete restitution for ALL the folks swindled unless Ann had a harsher punishment than just giving the $400 back to the dynamic trio (Dez, Luann, Tara).

5) Will there be some “twist” that puts the kibosh on the whole plan…. something like Dad and Ann are already married, or they had a bigger back story or who the hell knows? I suspect a big, unexpected plot twist may occur here.

Ann saw right through Tiffany the last time. I kinda expect her to do it again.

Mr. Grey is the hub at the string these of events. His relationship to Gunther and Mom… she must have an incredible back-story!Mr. Grey is Ann Eiffel’s brother, knowing Ann is renting his hall, yet clueless to her fraud at his venue. He should know her by now.And the Degroot [parent/owners] are betrayed by anyone who knows this Lingerie party is bogus. Owners should be informed with the evidence of Luann’s own fake undies.

This is the second time I’ve seen Dez be uncharacteristically gullible. I never thought she’d believe Ann’s sales pitch and now she instantaneously believes Tiffany is capable of what she is boasting about doing. Dez until this point has been perceptive – I think she would have at least some qualms about all of this working out.

Tiff as a superheroine? Look out, Power Girl!

I put my money on Tiff as she wins by TKO

$400? They’ve spent a month planning this revenge and spent $ on new outfits for $400? I guess everyone needs a hobby, but you could make $400 working at McDonald’s for a month, get some work experience, lose weight (kitchen work!) And save some cash rather then sprucing up the wardrobe. Not impressed ladies. You’re in college to pursue Carrers, not vengance. And Ann seems to be kicking your butt on that.

I also kind of get the feeling Taras smart enough to be working at McDonald’s while this is happening.

I have a really bad feeling about this…

It won’t be so easy.

Tiffany has told a lot of people that she had a plan to bring down Ann. Those people may very well have told others. Tiff’s plan may work unless Ann is tipped off before the party.

And short of blackmail or extortion, how does Tiffany propose to accomplish this consumer miracle?…as always, stay tuned

I had another thought. Tiffany went by the name Sheraton St. Louise in “Eyes of Zeyes”, right? And wouldn’t that be something her dad knew about? And would he have told Ann Eifel about it? You know, bragging about something his daughter did? So she might already know that name and be prepared. And as someone mentioned earlier, she probably already knows what she looks like. I love how confident Tiffany is, but I have a very bad feeling about this. No one seems to be able to take Ann down and i don’t feel like this will be different.

A possible Pipe Tobacco unexpected plot twist:

Fearing it might drive her away, Mr. Farrell has never mentioned Tiffany to Ann Eiffel.

Fearing it might drive him away, Ann Eiffel has never mentioned Les to Mr. Farrell.

Call the cops

A refund? Send Ann to prison!

A refund? Send Ann to prison!

Don’t count your refunds before they’re hatched, sisters! Maybe you two should hang outside the lingerie party, just in case something goes wrong and Tiff needs to be rescued!

If violence is never the answer, disarm one of two warring nations and see what comes of it.
