Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 12, 2019

They must be on their way to or from a Renaissance fair.

Hmm, more character development.

In Arizona, this is why the local Renaissance Festival occurs in February/March.

Is that a cod piece that Gunther is wearing? LOL BTW, they both do look great!!

She’s into Star Trek and renfairs? How has he not proposed yet?

Had a hunch they’d arrive on-site. ✨❤️✨

Gunther has finely found a real girlfriend who appears to want to stay close to home (and not the jungles of South America.).

Seeing how England was in the middle of a mini ice age at the time, I can see how this is a big much for August.

An ex-girlfriend of mine once passed out at a renaissance fair, long after she and I had broken up.

After that previous business with the posting of the photo of Gunther standing behind the mannequin with the lingerie, I’m surprised Bets doesn’t have him wearing the six-pound velvet dress …

Wow…risking K2 again. They must be feeling more confident that all eyes won’t be on them this time. (Of course, dressed like that, all eyes will be on them.)

I see Gunther wearing a codpiece

Harry and Meghan, perhaps?

You can bets she loves to wear costumes. At least Tiff and Bets are good friends, so far.

I wonder how “authentic” they went with their costumes for the SCA. Because since the renaissance ran from the 13th to the 16th century and people didn’t wear underwear until the 19th century because it didn’t exist. Just wondering.

Is that a codpiece on Gunther? Perhaps a bit too high up!

Interestingly, Gunther seems to be rather excited that Tiff finds them (him?) to be hot. See the third panel. Hmmm…

A match made in heaven! <3

Sheesh! And no pockets! Now, I wonder where Gunther has got Tiff’s Money from the eBay sales (a-hem) “Stashed?” ;)

Oh. And Two MORE things:

1) I HOPE “B-Gun” discussed their 50% commission with Tiffany BEFOREHAND, and she’s okay with it.

2) Bets floats the “new roommate” idea to Tiffany as a “solution” to her “dorm room problem.”

And Gunther? The “Sir Walther Raleigh” look? It ain’t you. Try more “Errol Flynn/Captain Blood,” next time! ;)

Betcha Gunther made the costumes. Knowing Pittsville is somewhere in the San Diego County, betcha they’re dressed up for the ComicCon in San Diego. I went there with my boys once and it’s a huge thing in San Diego. However, the costumes tend to be in the character of current movie characters or superheroes. Both are in Medieval/Renaissance costumes so that puzzles me.

Glad to hear from you Mordy.

Nice codpiece “Gun” (ugh!). Very authentic. :o\

You got to love Bets sense of humor.

Gluttons for punishment, I see. Honestly, why are they here? After all they have gone through – here!

But then, G&K probably need K2 (and Bizarro?) as yet another plot device!

Hilarity Ensues™!

I always wondered what those nobility dresses would look like in a mini. And I do not mean in a Mini Cooper. Or, anything to do with Sheldon Cooper…

.

Heck, even one of those Elizabethan lace ruff collars would make a good mini skirt.

I think the Renfest is the only place where the guys have more clothing options than the girls do.

Since they have big meals at the fairs, why would they need to go to a restaurant?

Someone needs to tell Gunther that a thong should be worn inside the pants not outside.

I guest that Gunther made the costumes and Bets bought the expensive material for make them. Tiffany is right, they looks really good in it (and she looks so sad seeing how nice they are as a couple???). Gunther has a huge talent for tailoring, maybe Bets will be able to make him understand how much it’s valuable.

I like Gunther’s new girlfriend. She’s smart, asks Gun tough questions that puts him off balance, and cute. Seems to be a good match. Thanks Greg.

When I first saw today’s cartoon I thought this was another dream. But I guess they’re going to some event that calls for this stuff. Geez that does not look like fun to me. Poor Gunther took Tiff’s comment to mean he looks sexy. G&K were stretching their imagination on today’s arc.

Thanks for “Brad & Dirk: An Almost Deadly Rivalry.” I don’t remember that series and have always followed LuAnn. A great strip and story. Thanks.

that’s a heck of a codpiece you have there, Gunther!

(bing) Left turn coming in 0.1 miles…

Yeah, they’re very warmly dressed for summer.

6 lbs of velvet? I think she needs a new tailor.

Heading up the 401 to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, eh?

So Bets digs his Capt. Kirk PJs. Then photos of her “boyfriend” sent into the either of him in Tiff’s lingerie. Now parading around in a codpiece (or reasonable facsimile thereof). What the ecchi is going on with these two? Something just doesn’t seem right. Too many feminine feeling-tones for “Gun” lately. (Did I mention I dislike, bordering on loath, that diminutive?)

LOL. The old Rennie in me popped into my brain. When I read “Authentic,” I thought, “uh… Not exactly, but pretty darned close.”

Ah, I do fondly recall the days when I would dress in layers of clothing (never did play royalty, because Summer is not the season for brocades and velvet!) and head out to the Faire…

I think the humor comes from Gunther today. He’s deliberately misunderstanding Tiff’s “hot” comment. She really means “hot” as in temperature and Bets gets it. Gunther will always be flattered anytime he remotely receives a compliment from either Tiffany or Luann. They do look great! More Elizabethan than Renaissance though.

Hmmm, am I the only one who see’s Percy and Queenie here (Blackadder Season 2)?

Yeaaaa!!! Gunther and Bets arc. Can’t wait to see what happens. Love the period costumes. Bet (no pun intended) GUnther sewed them, but Bets contributed.

Check out me cod piece wench

It is Renaissance Faire time! I thought it was settled that Bets and Tiff would be roomies. Not so sure about the 50-50 on lingerie, as Bets went bonkers over them and possibly bought them herself?

So Bets told Gunth about the 50-50 split, but did he or they discuss w Tiff? Tiff gave Bets a camisole?, but Bets said she couldn’t afford all of the collection. Nothing settled before the notorious camping trip!

Gunther and Bets were at the Reconnaissance Festival it appears. That is always fun.

As Mordy mentioned, Gunther looks like Sir Walter Raleigh….. EXCEPT he is missing the flourish of the goatee. He doesn’t seem to even be wearing his “peachfuzz” anymore either. And, one can hope for Gunther that his “codpiece” is purely ornamental and non functional….. otherwise he is likely strangulating his, er, future fatherhood potential…. the “codpiece” would typically be worn lower.

Bets costume…. REALLY very nice! I even like the green/blue contrast. Gunther appears to be on a very lucky and happy upswing here…. Bets seems to continue to be wonderful for him.

It is my hope that this week has us learn more about Bets, her goals… hopefully we find out more about if she is in college…. and if so, which one (Moony or Pitt CC we hope)… or if she is perhaps already in the job scene.

Seeing the Sir Walter Raleigh getup gives me reason to think fondly of Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco. It is a beautiful cube-cut burley leaf and has always been a staple that I greatly enjoyed!

Gunther needs the Black Adder accessory…

Love how Gunther immediately reads it the wrong way…

What deviltry is this?

It would appear that we are back to the United Colors of Betiffigun arc.

Now lessee here … Layers upon layers of clothing in the heat blast that is summer … ‘Hot’ means something else here than visual attraction …

It’s nice that Tiffany is showing concern for others! The work is paying off for her in more ways than one! :)

Back in the sixties I thought that codpieces were in line to become the next exaggerated male fashion. Little did I know that people would start fooling around with flared hems, instead, though the incidental emphasis on the guys’ buns that resulted was certainly welcome.

They need a ’ship name. Bunther? Guenthetts?

I guess I’m the only one who thinks Gunther looks like a court jester…

The codpiece on Gunther’s britches is probably unnecessary.

Wow, Bets gets not only the accent, but even the font right! :D

Is that a… codpiece?

Without pockets they would pouches.

is it my imagination, or does Tiffany seem interested in Gunther in a way she hasn’t before?

Pretty sure Quaff is a Verb, not a Noun.

Doth no one wisheth to calleth Tiffany a “wench”?

Just a quick note, here, addressed to anyone who might have wondered why I wasn’t on here the last two weeks…

I wasn’t “banned”; my forced absence was due to my having internet issues, in the form of a defective wall jack where I had my DSL cable plugged in.

All that velvet, eh?

Is The Velvet Teen rabid?

(I apologize.)

Cute. Double meaning works well here. But rather than “quaff” (usually a verb, not a noun), flagon might be better. Are Gunther and Bets doing a Renaissance Faire thing?

It’s the codpiece…

isn’t his purple tie rather low?

“Hot Couture”

“Faire Exchange”

“Regal Tender”

“The Costumer Is Always Right”

“Give Codpiece A Chance”

“Thirst Things First”

I like mr. G cock blocker.

Codpieces are sexy, you know. They were the masculine wonderbra
