Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for June 01, 2022

Tell Shuug that your mansion is too full, and give her the number for the nearest U-Store-It facility.

So will Bets ask for a favor from Tiff, tomorrow?? LOL

This is the kind of crap that high school Tiffany would pull without a moment’s thought. Karma may take a while, but it does come around.

If Bets were here, she’d advise that Tiff store the stuff …

Yeah, what is your point, Stef?

Just more end of term doings. Tiff’s mansion is getting stuffed while Tiff’s being taken advantage of.

Where’s Bets going to fall in all of this.

Still no discernible summer arc!

Someone should take Steffi Bird bird hunting, she points on command.

I spy a summer business opportunity for Tiffany.

There is a simple yet effective communication tool that even toddlers have mastered. The word No. It is succinct and has the ability to convey subtle emotion nuance even in its brevity.

Sure, for $100 a month, in advance please.

So we’re gonna watch Tiffany let everyone walk all over her for a week?

This is what drives me crazy about Greg Even. Every time a story approaches a fork in the road he always takes the route that is the dumbest, least consistent with the character and will inflict that most pain and humiliation. Having built up that Tiffany hates that walking STD with the intensity of a thousand Death Stars discharging at once, Greg will have Tiffany take in the ho ho ho’s stuff. The greatest character development Greg could do for Tiffany would be to have her say NO!

I hope this does not portend the four of them rooming together next year. It’d be insanity on Tiff’s part and stupidity on Bets’ and Dez’s parts.

I don’t understand. What does Stef not having time to see her family (I’m assuming it’s when she’s at dance class over the summer) have to do where she stores her stuuf?

Where’s ED from I-Haul when you need him.

That’s pretty contrived, that it wouldn’t occur to her that she had nowhere to keep her things until just now. Will Tiffany take on Bets’s stuff next? Is there no spine to be had?

Tiffany will fall in love with one of those plants, and Bets and Gunther will make a film about their love called THE SHAPE OF DIRT

I’d charge her a heck of a lot—up front—for the entire summer. She’d also have to transport her own stuff—to my shed in the back yard. She’d have to sign a lot of legal papers too.

The answer, Tiff, is “No”.

First time I have ever seen Stef out of her cheerleader outfit!

Now is the time for Tiff to politely tell Stef that there are numerous self storage units near Mooney University that have decent rates. Now she is plant sitting for Dez and going to be the local storage depot for Stef so what is next? Is Bets going to hit her up with some strange request tomorrow? Normally someone like Gunther or possibly Luann is the one who gets taken advantage of, this is highly unusual for Tiff.

The mansion storage locker. What am I bid on it?

No, Tiff. Just no. Tell her to store her stuff someplace else. Make up something if you have to-tell her you can’t for “insurance reasons”.

When did Tiff become a doormat?

Oh, Tiffany, you’re too kind.

Just say no!

Heck, Tiff. You gotta have a 10 car garage and only of it used to park cars. Just toss Dez and Stef’s stuff in the empty half.

Stef: good shape, big lips. Don’t let her steal your thunder, Tiffany.

I wish we could swear on here because I have a lot to say

At last. Tiffany is wanted…but maybe not in a way she expected

If Stef’s family can’t help her, then I guess her stuff isn’t that important.

Give her the address of a self storage company.

Time to charge for the storage. Take the following year’s tuition, room and board, books and supplies, plus incidentals and divide it by the number if months and items to store.

If they insist you transport their goods, charge them for the transportation as well at the going rate.

Oh Hell NO!

Tiff should tell her the only way she’s taking possession of Stef’s belongings for the Summer is,

1) On condition that it includes Kip, too.

Or

2) Over her dead body.

Of course, Tiff will cave.

That’s what characters do in this Strip.

Unfortunately. :-(

OOOH did Tiffany learn never to say, “Point Stefani.” Tiff should have jumped in with a change of subject like her pending trip to Maui.

Tell Stef that she would be the only person authorized to enter the Mansion.

.

.

Don’t tell her where the security cameras are.

Well no she shouldn’t but she most likely will. Now let’s see if Bets needs something that the mansion would come in handy to use.

“I live in a mansion, not a warehouse.”

I know the perfect place to store Stephanie’s stuff Tif, the city dump.

I think it’s time for Tiff’s father to step in and forbid the use of his home as a storage shed!!

BTW, Tiff is still a little “chunky”—at least compared to show-off Stef!!

Give Stefani a box of matches and a dust pan, that should make her stuff more easily stored

And cue the boo-hoo tears, manipulation and excuses for behaving badly. Take a good look at your future, Shannon!

just say NO , and when it is left at your door step throw it away

“Say goodnight, Gracie”

Goodnight Gracie.

As usual, the one who stays in town during the summer ends up taking care of everyone else’s things. But Dez is a friend and she can ask for this kind of favor, Stef is not a friend! I wonder if even Bets will try to hand things over to Tiffany. Maybe Gunther will help her and visit her at the mansion over the summer. I hope that happens because Gunther might be the only one who genuinely enjoys spending time with Tiffany.

Tiffany, you have until Saturday to stand up to Stef!

Why can’t Kip keep Stef’s stuff? I can understand keeping plants for Dez, but Stef has a boyfriend who should keep her stuff instead of Tiffany.

Tiff, she’s been a terror to you, Bets, and Dez the whole school year, there’s no reason you have to prolong any contact with her once you’re all out of the dorm. Tell her no and let her figure her own life out.

Please, just let someone in this strip learn how to tell someone else no when they’re clearly trying to take advantage.

Just tell her it’s your DAD’S house, not yours and he says no. Otherwise, charge her an exorbitant fee. More than a storage unit. What a stupid plot.

What’s happening here is if Tiffany refuses any of these other favors, for which she has already agreed for Dez (the others would make Tiff feel guilty "Well you did it for Dez, why not me?), they would all shun and ignore Tiff in the Quad next semester. Tiffany needs to feel accepted, not necessarily because she is a nice person. GnK would not keep Tiffany in the mansion because there would go a lot of drama,

Tune in again tomorrow when someone else takes gross advantage of Tiffany’s good nature.

Charge her a storage fee, Tiff.

Just say no.

Lordt. Tiffany, just tell her no. You’ve never had any trouble with that before. And you don’t even like her. Ought to be easy.

Elite dance class? Does that require a pole?

Give her a treat, Tiff – she obeyed your “point” command…

Tell her “no“. Or tell her that the storage fee will be $100 per week. Otherwise…DANG Stef has big lips!

Why cant Kip take her where she need to go?

For a modest fee of $50 per day…

Now she has to be a gardener and a host.

Let’s hope for a different roommate in the fall. Geez I don’t know how they tolerated her for as long as they did..

It sounds to me like Stef wants to use Tiff’s space in the dorm to store her stuff during summer classes. The trouble is, getting Stef to take back the stuff in the fall.

It’s at that point Tiff needs to say, Oh Sorry, I don’t store boxes. I just store plants and improve the look of the house. :D

Just tell Stef to give Fred a call, maybe he could help out.

Who is going to ask to live with Tiffany?

Just “NO”.

So, Tiffany says "point’, and Stef “points”. I think this is going to be one of those “SMH” weeks. I’m surprised, though. I thought for sure that Betts would have been the very first one sucking up and looking for “something for free”. I guess we’ll see what she wants tomorrow.

Oh gag——don’t let her in Stef!!!! She will NEVER Leave.

As Judge Judy say, “Beauty fades. Dumb is forever.”

I can’t wait to see her in 40 years.

Ship it or stuff it Stef.

Tell her to pound sand! This is your HOME, not a storage unit.

Stefani is a user, pure and simple. Don’t fall for it Tiff.

" Sure, bring it over to my place tomorrow.

Tiffany should charge her for storage – new business idea.

Miss giant false eyelashes (FE) is the manipulator in chief. First she bursts into tears because she can’t have the privacy hut all to herself all the time. Now she’ll coerce Tiffany into storing all her stuff for the summer. Let Kip who came to the defense of giant FE take care of all of this.

Maybe Kip will be the person who shows up with Stef’s boxes?

Ahh, now Tiff can make a few extra bucks selling Stef’s clothes like she did her own. Better wash ’em first

Charge for storage!!!

“Sure Stef, it will cost $40 per day per box, half payable up front and you arrange transport.”

Stef wants to store her stuff at the Farrell mansion? Fine, charge her something like the going rate for Public Storage, and, the like. Might earn enough to help with Tiff’s drom fees for the next year.

This is a good way for Tiffany to make extra money. I just hope Stef’s storage boxes aren’t infested with vermin or lice or bedbugs.

How much will Tiff charge?

At least Stef isn’t asking Shug to let her stay in the mansion over the summer.

Hard to back out of this w/o being the asshole. And yes it is her mansion. How about Kipp store it at his place? Or “My Dad doesn’t use our home for a storage facility EVER”

from one annoying story arc to another…….might as well go watch power rangers

so Stef WON’T be staying at the McMansion during the Summer as so many predicted. But will Tiffany be alone ? stay tooned !

Tell her fine, Tif. Then charge her whatever the going rate is for storage in the area. We have a fair sized house, shop, and five acres and had to nip that problem in the bud when everyone seemed to think “You’ve got room.” “Sure, I’ll store your RV. $100 a month,” (this was 20 years ago.) “Sign here.” Funny. The requests stopped after that.

I didn’t know Tiffany owned a pickup truck. People just assume when you own one you’ll help them move.

Sure as long as Kippy moves it

Well, it is better than asking for a place to stay?

And so it goes…on and on.

“I’m sorry, Stef, but my father wouldn’t appreciate me using his house for other people’s storage. Besides, our insurance wouldn’t cover your things. Here’s a convenient storage facility near campus.” Meanwhile, maybe it would have been a more interesting plot choice to have Tiffany (or Bets) go to Haiti with Dez to help build the school. But that would involve showing a character in a different location than Pitts which (other than the Peru debacle) is apparently verboten.

Maybe lifting all those boxes (plus Dez’s plants) would be just enough exercise for Tiffany to match Stefani’s level of hotness? It’s a competition for Kip, shoog!

Greg has made “Shuug” to be a real Bi&@*! How rude!

“Shuug” aka the proverbial plastic girl with plastic eyelashes and plastic smile….

P2: Stef has turned into a Muppet.

Tiff could be a bud and let SHOOG store it in the boathouse for a low low monthly rate.

Why should tiffany let her store her stuff over the summer? Why cant she rent a storage space or take it home with her? Steff is entitled and really annoying

She looks like a blowup doll in the 2nd panel!

Take it and have a yard sale Tiff

Sooooooooo sick of Stef and not happy to have her back in the arc.

Won’t have time to drive home??? I thought Tiffany/Stef went to the same high school and were cheerleaders together so I assume her parents lived in town.

Better Stef’s stuff than Stef herself. But you don’t have to say yes, Tiff.

OK Tiff, here’s when you tell Miss Selfish Steffi that you charge $200.00 a day for storing her belongings. Half to be paid in advance.

And don’t forget to mention you’re giving her the roommates discount! :D :P

‘No.’ is a complete sentence.

I know where Stef can store her stuff. Where there’s no sunlight.

SAY NO TIF

Will Stef also ask Tiffany to pet-sit the centipedes living on her face?

Tiffany, do NOT carry ONE SINGLE BOX!

We’re assuming Stef’s family WANTS to see her,which is a pretty big “IF”.

The inevitable: In two or three months, Stef will call Tiffany with something like, “I’m so excited! The dance school has extended my stay for the whole year! Please send my boxes to the following address in Boston. I love ya, Hon.”

Switching a little…Gunther reminds me of “Poindexter” in the old FELIX THE CAT cartoons.

Don’t do it Tiff. Tell her to figure out a different place to store her belongings.

charge her Tiff, charge her.

You bet Shuug. Have Kippy bring your stuff over AFTER you have gone to dance camp….

Not in this or any other lifetime, Stef!

Ok, Tiffany, get your business sense in gear and start charging storage fees! ;-)

Panel 4: I just love Tiff’s flood-fighter pants..

Two words Tiff ~ “Garage Sale”

Those lips have been botox’d several times.

Grant Steffi the favor. And then say, “Someday – and that day may never come – I’ll call upon you to do me a service.”

Tiff is thinking that high school was years ago. Karma should be evened-up by now!

She really knows how not to make friends……

Take it with or let it stay. Not my dog. Just go away

I can’t comment on Judge Parker these days but it also has pretty girls wearing sexy outfits and that’s the important thing.

Amazing how some people believe you owe them, even though they have been a pain in your keester from day one.

Stef really is quite the horse-face in the second panel. It’s kinda disturbing; is she supposed to be so unattractive?

Just tell her she needs to have Kiffy bring it over to Tiff’s place. Stef will find another storage place ASAP.

(When I was in college, we could stored items between semesters in secure basement storage units – which was handy as I lived a three day drive away.)

Oh Hell No. Charge Dez for plant sitting and Steff for storage fees. This is ridiculous.

I still think that Stef looks like a young Jimmy Carter in drag!

Steff’s lips in the 2nd panel are comical – and not in a good way. When fillers go wrong.

I know they are showing Tiffany is growing as a person, but she is really being taken advantage of.

Huh… That’s a lot less unreasonable than I expected.

For heaven’s sake, Just Say NO, Tiffany! Do not let the nymphomaniacal cheerleader-dancer take advantage of you! No, no, no!

“Honestly Shoog, I would, but I just keep thinking about my towel, the one I had to throw away”.

Tiffany cares about one thing cash or greenbacks.

The Farrell mansion is just about to have its first YARD SALE!

Steph has lips like Mick Jager.
