When my niece was a little girl, I let her cheat at a kid’s Monopoly game and let her pretend she won. But even so, she still didn’t make me feel sick the way Shannon does. (I can’t wait till my favorite commentator comments on my lighthearted comment.)
Not a whole lot to this Sunday strip, to be honest. But it did make me smile nonetheless. So I guess this was one of the occasions where the less is more approach works…
Shannon is very competitive. She looks so happy to have beaten Luann in the “N” battle! Luann could be a great teacher, she always tries to stimulate children’s curiosity.
Is Luann trying to teach letters and numbers to Shannon? If so, she failed miserably. The kid is all about winning, not learning. I wonder if she’ll become another “Agnes” in school.
This reminds me of when my granddaughter was little. Her name is Lilly. Someone asked her if her name had 1 L or 2. She looked at them with a puzzling face and replied 3. :)

I wonder what Monday’s new story arc will bring…..

Whereas Shannon’s father Jonah and aunt Toni both have a single N; uncle Brad has zero.

Wow, Greg – even Shannon comes out ahead of Luann.

Glad to see Luann back trying mentor mode.

She’s partly right, Luann!

Typical kid logic.

If that look on Luann’s face in the last panel doesn’t say “why do I bother?” then nothing does.

Luann is a horribly written lead character as she is always the punching bag.

I think three n’s is about the max in any name. Barring Shirley Ellis song Name Game.

Yes, Shannon, you win, and that is a beautiful sun you are drawing.

Hey.
If the kid wants to have some real fun, she should scrub and clean the toilets.
Auntie Luann had a “ball” doing it last week.
And if Shannon is really nice, we’ll give her crayons and let her “organize” Nancy’s newly indexed “paperwork.” :-)

Actually, Shannon, N’s are bad, and will cost you $5 each.

If you include their last names, Shannon wins again with A’s, 3-1.

Does Shannon have any friends her age?

Learning about words can be so much fun. It just takes a lot of imagination.

That’s cute, let her enjoy her “win.”
MuddyUSA Premium Member over 3 years ago
Well, Shannon did win!
locake over 3 years ago
There is no reason to think N’s are good and Shannon should win anything. Luann is older, that gives her a win.

‘Shannon’ can be shortened to ‘Ann’…

Children like Shannon make me want to irradiate every fertile man in existence.

Why are you looking at us here, Luann? We’re not the ones who let you get dunked on by a toddler.

If you count Shannon’s, Toni’s and Jonah’s last name, it’s 4, 2 and 2.

Seems reasonable.
Or, what response did you expect, Luann?

I really don’t like Shannon. Calvin and Agnes are obnoxious but still lovable.
globalenterprize1990 over 3 years ago
Shannon is right on schedule. Young girls are so competitive with their fragile egos. Always seeking to one up another female.
