Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 14, 2018

Admitting there is padding?

No time frame, but glad the charm is back to red.

Whether it is very late at night, or the next day, now that Luann is being informed of everything nefarious that has happened, and who is Ann Eiffel is, and related to, if Tiffany cannot be instantly contacted, it is time that Luann starts contacting everyone else. Everyone who should have been contacted the instant Tiffany said the lingerie was counterfeit.

totally missing the point, Luann

The three stooges: Moe Dez, Larry Lu, and Curly Bore.

Okay they called Luann, but what about Tara? How’s she supposed to get her cut?

Or do you devious ladies plan to keep her refund? (Sorry, lack of COFFEE talking again)

NOW go down and see Tiffany. Then call entire Luanniverse Clan and Stage a “March on Farrell!” I’ll provide the Torches and Pitchforks!

And be sure to take Shannon! I wanna see the look on Ann’s face when Shannon once again “bares her fangs…..,”

Wow, a comic strip that was actually funny. Imagine that! Now back to the soap.

I have been saying being in Luannverse has made Les more (in terms of being a warmer, caring person) like it did TJ before, and given that and the virus that Ann represents, I think Luannverse will purge the virus, at least for now. How? That remains to be seen. But I even think that Pru will get some satisfaction eventually. Remember the whole scam started with Pru taking full advantage of Pru who was devastated when her theater plans fell through. Come to think of it, only two students showed, and contrary to certain commentators who try to make Luann out to be either brainless, or vicious, or vacuous (well maybe I grant that a little) Luann spent a lot of time being warm and encouraging to the little girl who needed a major confidence boost.

A little comic relief…

If at first you don’t succeed, write a breast joke.

In panel 3 Luann looks defeated!

So either this takes place the morning after yesterday’s strip (which is unlikely since Bernice and Dez are in the same clothes as yesterday), Tiffany took her sweet time giving them the envelope, or Bernice is once again making an exception for her friends regarding after-hours dorm visitation. How did Luann even get into the building, anyway?

Yup, Luann is back for the comedic relief after 2 or 3 weeks of serious strips and comments. And yes, Luann, I notice your boobies look bigger, so they are padded, obviously. Unless you gained weight? You’ve always been on the chubby side, so it is quite easy to gain just a few and look like they’re substantial few. No worry, the padded bra balanced you out.

I hope this gang doesn’t end up running around in circles trying to figure out what to do. Just call your parents Lu, tell them to contact Mr. Grey. Then CALL TIFF and drag her and Les over to her father’s!!

A-cup angst.

This is a joke. Anyone who has seen Luann dressed in something a bit scanty such as a flirty top, her witch’s outfit or her Eye of Zeye costume will know that she doesn’t need to pad.

Luann could go topless at the beach and no one would notice

Luann’s hair is very short in panel 2.

Because that’s what I was looking at. Her… hair.

“Come at me,bra.”!

Well that was blown out of proportion.

Good to finally see the tit-ular character of the strip once more…

Looks like an intervention girly group is forming up.

Luann, welcome back to the comic strip that is named for you! Did you take a vacation somewhere?

Luann would look good in a double-breasted jacket. (Sorry, I just had to say it.)

“Busted!”

“You Mad, Bra?”

“Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattening”

“The Case She Heard, For Small Claims”

“You’ll Never Walk A Phony” (♬♪♩)

“Tow The Fraud Line, For A Fraulein”

“Sue!, Sue!, Psued(i)o!” (♪)

“Winning, By A Technical Knockoff”

“Monkee See, Monkee Duped!”

“Three Blinded Mice”

“Green Pegs And Scam”

or

“It Was A Rip-Off!…The Whole Block!….”

An unexpected, brief diversion today…. but one that was quite funny!

As a modestly interesting philosophical thought…. is the Souffle Lingerie actually “fake” if the folks who bought it actually like it? Or, is its “fakeness” inherent due to external factors?

If Luann is enjoying her brassiere from the party… she actually “wins” in terms of her actions because she has found contentment and happiness in what she purchased, regardless of who manufactured it. But, now with learning it is “fake” will her impression of the garment be diminished and will it diminish her own feelings of self due to being “duped”.

And, in the greater scheme of things… which route would be better for Luann?

Lent is long. Insights are currently in short supply. Perhaps with more time.

Lifts and separates — those with a sense of humor up and from others.

I actually laughed at this comic today. We rarely see a funny Luann comic.

Luann has her own fake going with the padding, but if she’s not faking her satisfaction with her enhanced figure and the product is comfortable, hey, who cares? Now, Dolly Parton and Stormy Daniels are a whole different ball park.

I got a a good smile today. Well done.

Looks like we have some ‘filler’ small talk for a few days until we see how Tiffany is moving on from this.

Seriously? Bernice and Dez had time to text Luann, wait for her to drive over and find parking, but not time to walk 5 doors down to check on Tiff? Yes Bernice, you are “right” the lingerie is a fake, and I admire your sense of justice. Good for you for spreading the word. BUT WORK ON YOUR EMPATHY SKILLS. I’m kinda surprised that Dez missed this, but she isn’t majoring in psych or banking on her communication skills. Tiff, please, start packing and don’t waist any more time going to bat for your “friends”. If Luann wants to spend her money getting bigger boobs through fake panties, let her. You had a slamin body and fashion sense that Luann resented you for all through high school. Now that you are fat and depressed sure the other girls all want to be seen as being “nice” and sympathetic to you by rationalizing your problems as not your fault/blame daddy. But it’s the guys who are getting you away from your pizza (Gunther), showing you the way to the shopping mall and allowing her to have academic opportunities (her dads money) and having your back when push comes to shove (Les). Dez retains some bonus points for lending Tiff her wardrobe, but wow, I miss the high school Tiff who was confident enough to take responsibility for her life and body by taking the time to get to the gym every day after school and competing in beauty contests (no, those contest awards are not handed out like candy nor are they free to enter).

I could swear she was there when Tiffany revealed that they were fakes.

Looks like the whole direction of this arc has changed. It’s no longer about whether Ann will get into legal trouble, or Tiffany will finally get the attention she wants from her father (or instead will sink further into depression). It’s not about whether Les or Gunther will ‘win’ Tiffany (and I doubt that was the direction of the arc, even though so many posters here think so.) But now it just seems to be about a ‘joke-a-day’ thing. Too bad…

Bad Bernie provokes a small bit of unintended humor!

Okay, maybe not that small….

Perky little things, aren’t they? Good cartoon…made me smile.
