Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 26, 2020

oh-no

Well, in Tiff’s defense, it ‘is’ “The Most Secret Party.” ✨

Well it was “Kippee.” The QT QB! WooHoo!

Blackout blackjack? This doesn’t sound good.

I can’t wait!!!! :-)

So it is the same party that Stef is going that Kip is telling Tiff about…why is HE not going with Stef? Did he give her the slip? How will Stef react when she sees HER Kip walk in with her roommate? Yeah, I know Tiff will shift her gears and go to the party. But of course. It is KIP.

Tiff, anytime you want to party, think of Ms. Effel. That should provide you with motivation enough to want to get a good education so you can get a position to crush her someday!

It’s a hustle! Blacklight blackjack is a casino game!I bet that someone thinks that Tiffany has $$$$$$$ to gamble.See the grim on Kip Lee’s face!

For some reason Kip wants Tiff at this PAHTIE! He did relate that he wanted to meet “The Suite Babe” back in mid December!

Dum Dee Dum Dum Dum Dum Dee Dum Dum!

Uh oh.

Tiff can’t miss a party.

Ah.

So it WAS “Temptation” A-Knocking on Tiff’s door. In the form of handsome Kip, the Quarterback.

This is what? TWICE this guy has shown up at Tiffany’s when Stef is not around?

So. When Stef wants Tiffany to hang out at the Student Union, Tiff waivers and begs off. “Studies,” she says.

But let handsome Kip tell Tiff about a party. Again, Tiffany begs off on account of studies. But immediately thinks of a way to make showing up, HAPPEN.

“Cute Guy Syndrome.” Gets ’em every single EVERYTIME. ;)

Been there done that got imbibed.

Did he forget to mention that this Blackout game is just for two people?

And thus Tiff the non-academic returns.

Can’t fight that strong rip tide…

Good grief. This will end with Tiffany pulling an all nighter.

“Or, welcome to my casbah – please do not be in a hurry to rush off…”

The former Tiffany is starting to show.

Tiff, hit those books!!! Play later.

I smell a set up.

Tiffany….forget this and hit the books

This is painful to watch. :(

Go to the party! It sounds like fun. I’m sure they will have current games such as Twister and be playing the latest ABBA and Village People hits. Besides, what’s the concern, no one can drink until they are 21 and I’m sure no one wants to break that rule!

Secret party called Blackout? Uh no thank you.

Don’t do it, Tiff!!

Looking to poach your roommate’s boyfriend is not going to lead to anywhere good.

Maybe lil evil Tiff won this battle. BUT SHE WILL NOT WIN THE WAR!! At least.., let’s hope so. And let’s hope this “Blackout” don’t ends up to be some sort of bad joke at Tiffany’s expense.

We keep recalling the suite babe comment. Aren’t any of them bright enough to realize that if the suite babe is now sharing a closet sized room that perhaps there has been a change in circumstances? Although I guess if they are hosting top secret Blackout Black light Blackjack- hmm, I don’t know where I was going with that other than an annoying over use of the word black.

People keep reading blackout for the word blacklight

the party is being referred to as THE BLACKOUT which is nefarious to say the least.

Those campus parties are always distracting us.

Don’t backslide, Tif. Study now. Party later. Besides two to one this secret party isn’t so secret, and, it will get raided by “Borince” and whoever else is on her party pooping police.

I guess my problem was, I never went to school to party or make friends. I went to focus on my education and move on with my life. I think Tiff needs to figure out her goal.

Blacklight Blackjack? Sounds kinky…

I don’t think money is what he (they?) are going to be trying to get…

why is he always talking out of the side of his mouth? he have a stroke?

Not a good situation for Tiff. The best thing would be she has to work that night! As for Kip… didn’t trust him at the start, really don’t trust him now. From what we’re reading Kip sees her as a rube for blackjack (and whatever else happens in black lights with blackout conditions), is playing the women, or setting her up with someone (and yes I question that one too). Here’s to work or Ann!!!

This doesn’t sound good at all. Has all the earmarks of a certain type of drama. Hoping the most obvious conclusion is the wrong one.

Luann’s attempts to portray college-age debauchery reminds me of Spider-Man 3 when Peter tried to be a cool Bad Boy but couldn’t help coming off like a gigantic dork anyway. Ooooh, blackjack under blacklight?!? Next you’ll be telling me that these naughty kids will be drinking sodas after 8 pm too!

Kip looks like he slid into all the bases – face down.

To use a Star Wars metaphor, “I sense a disturbance in the force.” Blacklight Blackjack" at a most “secret” Hall-A-Gang party sounds a little scary, particularly given that Kip asks, has sought out, Tiffany personally. “Stef told you right?” Forboding arises, particularly to this dad of a daughter. I know this is part of the college experience, and Tiffany is experiencing it to, which is a good, but scary thing. This being Luannverse though it should be okay I hope Greg???

The Muni Uni letters have some great graphic options, I see. The letters on Kip’s chest look like lips, and the one on his arm looks like a smiley face. Is this the first time I’ve noticed this? Other options could be the M and U maneuvered around to be E=MC^2 , golden arched M while working at a fast food joint, transposed to UM for when a character is confused, hidden in Ox’s hair as a wave to Charlie Brown….. this cannot be a coincidence.

Oh, great….. Tiffany not only is going to not study…. a poor enough choice for her in her current situation….. she is going to further complicate her relationship with her roommate…. in probably VERY NEGATIVE ways by getting chummier with her boyfriend. (sigh)

OR, party hardy, flunk out, and spend the rest of her life washing dishes with Les at the Fuze.

…this smells like a set-up…

in the Luann comic book world this will turn out as some sort of innocent prank, but in reality this would turn out very bad.

Wear the belt that takes a key.

This cannot bode well as Kip has established himself as a player with his double Entendre “The Suite/Sweet Babe” back in December.

Tiff is going to get her feathers singed and/or wind up with a less than “compatable” roommate!

The roommates will end up fighting over a guy who really isn’t worth fighting over.And if it’s a gambling set-up,sign Ann Eiffel’s name to the I.O.U.’s.

Ok, not trying to poke the bear or cause an uproar, and im not familiar enuff with the strips creators to know their mind, but could this be a story arc for Tiffani that has serious overtones in light of the #MeToo movement? cuz it sure sounds like it could go there….

Ooh. Looks like things are about to get interesting…

I’m just plain suspicious ….Don’t go Tiffany!!

Pessimists. I foresee Tiff winning big and leaving the game wearing 40 layers of everyone else’s clothes.

Time to call Bets for another run of eBay listings, though probably not as lucrative.

It’s an ‘ugliest date’ party.

I Googled “blacklight blackjack” and got only one result. The table was so expensive they wanted my email just so I could get a quote. I…I have a feeling this blacklight card table is not a popular item, outside of casinos. Ooh, it makes the cards look blue! And all the suspicious stains in hall A will glow under a black light! That’s lit!

well at least Tiff’s social life seems to be on the upswing

Looks like the Devil won again.

Has the potential for a comic strip “Me Too” moment.

Sounds like a set up

Uh oh.

That is not going to end well.

Don’t do it, Tiffany (But she will…)!

Got the unfortunate feeling we’re headed into fratboy gang rape territory here

A little TOO powerful for this strip.But Tiff should bring the Mace cannister.

Oh, Tiff…nooooooooo! Methinks you’ll be sorry if you do. Maybe in more ways than one.

Blacklight Blackjack.

As a Bonus, under the blacklight, you won’t recognize the guy who is slipping you the Roofie.

She’s giving in the the cheap OR.

Back on 1-27-20, Tiff won a bunch of jelly beans playing cards. Although I hope she decides to study instead of going to the party, she might have a new means of making lots of money if she goes.

To me, Kip is not a cute guy. I don’t see his appeal.

I wonder why Stefanie didn’t mention the “Blacklight Blackjack” party.Also, Viper and Hair are acquaintances of Dez. During the Winter Break, the Hall A gang partied in the common room. Hair said they partied in Kip Lee`s room because any noise that the party creates is masked by the elevator.Is Tiffany being setup as a mark or the campus police waiting in place?Or Tiffany going to ask Kip for a date.

Time for Bernice to go full Claude Rains. Always go full Claude Rains.

(I probably don’t even have to post this link.)

He rather looks like Buddy Hackett’s younger brother.

Uh-oh (to quote the dreaded Uh-Oh Baby of Cul de Sac). It looks as though Kip has broken Tiff’s resolve to do what’s right. And this Hall A party sounds like the kind of thing she might regret having attended when she finally wakes up the next afternoon….

Whoopsie doodle.

I know Gregg has troubles drawing noses, and I know Kipp plays football, but really, Kipp’s nose looks like it belongs on a old exboxer whose nose was flattened in the ring way, way too many times.
