Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for December 19, 2019

might as well find another store, Luann and Jack, in which Shannon won’t play around… like — oh, I don’t know — the toy store

Cool! We can buy the UniCorn t-shirt!!!!

“Tee-shirts.”You know what? I’m beginning to think that this whole story arc is not about “shipping” Jack and Luann, as many are feverishly hoping. But its just a big build up to today’s Luann Tee-Shirt Reveal.

Relax. Just a little holiday teasing. And to rush the next big calendar event, you all know Valentine’s Day is not that far off. Who will be with “Whom” come February 14th?

Oh. Two more things:

1) Bets might like that Catwoman Tee Shan is holding in panel one.

2) I like today’s Sales Clerk a Whole Lot BETTER! ;)

Wow talk about this kid being a brat. Annoying character to a point.

The correct answer to the salesperson’s question is “no, she belongs to Jonah.”

uh no it isn’t if you want it you can have it we don’t mind lol

Wow, so now Evans is using the storytelling space itself to try and sell stuff. Transformers and G.I. Joe did it earlier and better. But still I’m curious as to how many people here are really going to buy that t-shirt.

I remember loving to play inside those round clothing displays about 70 years ago.

I think Luann has found her guy – they get along great, laugh together a lot, and like each other – this could be the one…

Wow – that devilish image on the shirt Luann is holding in the third panel – the face is virtually identical to the one Greg used for the controversial Asian character, “Sun”. The one in Moony Uni with the ferret.

Snoozefest. Taking Shannon to the mall and running into behavioral issues arc. Yawn

So … does the unicorn have an ear of corn growing out of its forehead? (Oh, maybe I get it: uni-corn?)

I don’t have a link!

Not sure I like the comic being used to sell merch.

So do we want the crazy sales lady or the grumpy one?

Unsurprisingly, I don’t like the unicorn shirt. It’s like a bad visual pun. Still better than Gunther’s little outfits, though.

I like the T-shirt tht Shannon is holding up.

I’ll pass on the that shirt and get one that’s just the opposite.

So I called it last night about shilling for a t-shir t… Worse than I had imagined.

My granddaughter hid from me like that in a store and damn near gave me a heart attack. :(

24 bucks for a shirt. Not thank you.

They already bond of Shannon.

The first shirt in the second panel truly explains liberalism.

I thought “Boss Lady” was a high end business clothing store, not a Hot Topic knock-off.

It’s pretty brave for a comics writer to make a kid unlikeable.

That last tee looks like Shannon. Or Luann’s impression of her.

Looks like they still make clothes rack forts now a days! Woohoo! ;o)

I am amazed at all the adults I knew as children who deny they had done anything wrong in childhood. They were all saints and abhor childish behavior in kids. I will make exceptions for planes and restaurants as in that can be annoying when parents let their kids be a “Shannon”.

Looks like Jack and Luann are having a great quality time together. They looks so lovely and happy♡. And Shannon is Adorable, in her special and peculiar way. The Uni-corn t-shirt is unexpected.

The problem with the Unicorn T-shirt is 1) It has nothing to do with Luann, so it’s hard to see how it’s a “fan must have.” 2) The two in the middle panel are cleverer. 3) It’s a pretty obvious pun. “Cornu” is just Latin for “horn” (think “cornet”).

I want to be in the breakroom when the sales person from today and the salesperson from yesterday take their lunches at the same time

I had someone ask me that while I was watching my nephew. I looked at her and said, I am the care taker of this demon spawn! she just turned and walked away.

No,then run out of store

When your babysitters are in love and ignore you.

A fun set of shirts, interesting given they keep pulling shirts for Shannon but not a 14 year old. The more intersting part is a store named Boss Lady seems to cater to teens more than career women which the name implies; interesting…

Well, this is one way to bury an unlikable character in an uninteresting arc.

So what does everyone think of the Luann Tee?!

Continuing the theme, the next T-shirt will be “A-maize-ing Grace”, with a cornfield. :-/

Gee, I wonder hominy T-shirts Greg will sell?!

Greg really does paint these two as cute together. Too bad it never amounts to anything.

Shannon is a good advert for birth control.

The running gag continues: People mistake Jack and Luann for Shannon’s parents.

As a rule, I like Shannon arcs and, while yesterday was a bit, well, “out there,” there’s still an unsettled dilemma here as to where G&K are taking Jack and Luann.

(Oh, no, that earworm just popped into my head – that little ditty about Jack and Dianne!)

Since comic strips exist in a time – space vacuum, the physical realities of whether Jack and Luann could be Shannon’s parents (particularly their age) might well be thrown out the window. And why not?

On the other hand, tying Luann down with a guy is a lot like Mordy says (or is it 1212?) – why do that unless G&K are about to retire the strip?

Okay, Argy3, you can trash me now.

DUCKS!

That orphanage is looking like a better option with each day.

WHY can’t they just date.

The sales lady reminds me of the home inspector who made Toni and Brad redo their laundry room remodel.

“When smart fails, try loud !” Memorable line !… corollary: “ignore evidence”.

“Never saw her before in my life.”

Is the unicorn shirt wrong for a 14 year old because she’s too young or because she’s too old? There’s a grown man with hairy arms wearing it in the link. That doesn’t solve the mystery for me, Luann, please explain.

LOL!! Oh that brings back memories!! I was the little kid who liked to hide in the clothes racks too!!

Contrary to what people think, my wife and I did not raise little monsters because we don’t want to murder Shannon.

The babysitters are acting like kids themselves and not paying attention to Luann’s charge. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got lost in the fun and walked out without Shannon.

Oh, yes… The shirt in Panel Three was absolutely made for Shannon.

Uh-oh. A Boss Lady employee whose hair is actually like Shannon’s. I wonder if she is actually Shannon’s mother.

The store and the clerks and the shirt, and the whole scene in this arc is just staging for the real story, the obvious potential connection between Jack and Luann, and when Luann finally figures it out. I think Jack has already figured it out, but wants her to show home some kind of sign she has. He is smarter than many here seem to understand, although I think at some point he will show his hand. He really, really, REALLY likes Luann. Why call her out of all the girls he could call to do this errand with him after all?

I certainly hope the store doesn’t have a “You break it you buy it policy.”

Is Luann holding an “Ann Eiffel brand” T shirt in the last panel?

I’m dying of suspense over here. Tell me who has bought a shirt? or at least clicked on the link???

Could someone please explain the ARMA GIRL DDON! shirt to me?

Notice how the clerk’s question is worded “This” instead of “She”?

Seriously! Why does Luann think this is the wrong shirt for a 14 year old girl? Amazon sells it in both adult sizes and youth sizes! It’s usually young girls who love unicorns, but there’s this 30 year old Youtuber who likes them, too! She made a whole video where she made a unicorn house in the Sims 4. Is it something to do with the corn? That’s neither too adult nor too young. Corn on the cob is a suitable food for every age. I see nothing either too adult nor too childish in this frickin shirt, I just think it’s a profoundly disappointing logo. And I don’t think the price is unreasonable, unless you prefer to buy used clothing. Luann what do you mean??

Is “this” yours as opposed to is “she” yours? Can’t say that I blame the sales person.

The heck with all this. I am listening to the new WHO album and feel like a teenager again. WOW WOW WOW WOW. and it’s my birthday. Daughter sent it!

The Catwoman tee for Jack’s niece (held by Shannon in panel 1)!

Panel 3: the temptation to duck out and leave Shannon in her “fort” to the tender mercies of the Boss Lady lady is strong!

I know those forts well….1960s,… Sears, Wards, JC Penneys all had them.
